    D&D 5E (2014) February's Keys from the Golden Vault Appears on Amazon

    I think that high level stuff mechanics is not so connected to high level characters: dominion management, warfare, mass combat, strongholds and so on (that are NOT confirmed anywhere) takes from some character statistics, the one I think will be retrocompatible: they are subsystem, not some...

    D&D 5E (2014) February's Keys from the Golden Vault Appears on Amazon

    Not to much: I think (well... hope) that both the Deck of Many Things and Planescape books are high level books: Deck of Many Things can grant people a castle, and I hope that some kind of domain system/warfare rules can be put in. So, Tier 3 adventures. And Planescape, Tier 4 adventures. Those...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 2022 Overview - Did you purchase any of the books?

    Monsters of the Multiverse because of the races I didn't have and the updated statblocks. Not running new modules (still running CoS and TftYP since last year, LMoP+DoIP for a new group of people, and a Forgotten Realms homebrew adventure). Next year very much interested in Bigby (Fitzan for me...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rebalanced Tyranny of Dragons Coming In January

    I know there are a lot of those guides available (stealed some ideas for CoS myself), but my idea is a Wizards official one. And not because "3PP are for sure bad because they are not WotC", but we are talking in this thread because there is a possibility of a Wizards rebalancing, not a 3PP...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rebalanced Tyranny of Dragons Coming In January

    They could release a pdf only/d&d beyond downloadable guide with suggestion on every adventure published to date, from Lost Mines to Shadow of the dragon queen, with tools, errata and updates. There a lot of "guides to DM" of every adventure, if they make a condesed version of them in, say, 10...

    D&D 5E (2024) What have you seen new players confused by/mistakes they make?

    Second spells. As a recent fan of the game, and having introduced to people, I think that having people select from the huge list of spells when creating/leveling up characters should really be helped. As I said a lot of time, make a good recap table in an appendix or at the start of the...

    D&D General Going on Deployment, Need Help Finding an Offline VTT

    I can not recomend enough Dungeon Revealer. It's a nice opensource project, and also free to use. It has almost what you need, except for automatic fog of war (master should select the part of the map to reveal in its screen), and tracking of initiative, hitpoints and status effects. But for the...

    Statement on OGL from WotC

    Well, they official haven't stated anything about the SRD. They said that it will be a possibility that will be updated. Now I'm asking myself: are they not opening wide that door because they fear "something", or is classic corporate "better say less than say much?". I don't know, maybe they...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Long Does it Take to Reach 20th Level: A Brief Explanation

    Well, remember that also BECMI had a table to help you give XPs considering your desired speed: there was option to do from 3 sessions/level to 8 sessions/level. Going really fast in BECMI takes you "3 session * 4 hours * 36 levels = 432 hours". And not considering the immortals part (other 36...

    WotC Rumor: OGL will not be supported starting with One D&D

    I remember, weeks before the ONE D&D announcement a Mike Shea blog post and Ray Winniger giving a thumb up. Dungeons and Dragons future? Ray Winninger gives a nod to Mike Shea's proposed changes. One of the point was an updated SRD. So I think that the OP youtuber did the stunt to get some...

    Spelljammer Spelljammer Nov 10 2022 errata.

    Is this errata still version 1.0, with no [New] tags? They just updated a versioned thing stealthy? This is a bad procedure :(

    D&D General Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide: Is it (stealthy) a reboot of the Forgotten Realms?

    Hi there! In these days I had the pleasure to check the original grey box of the Forgotten Realms. I know the setting got a lot of events since its inception, like games, novels, adventures, entire campain books... But at first I was a little surprised to notice that the Cyclopedia part of the...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D movie date pushed back, releases March 31st, 2023

    Or it was their plan all along. "You see? We moved the session too, true to the source material!" (this is a joke, obviously, but they can use it in their promotional communcation about the change)

    D&D General Was your first experience with D&D as a player or as a DM?

    First time with a D&D like: Pathfinder 1E homebrew campain, I was a player with an experienced DM. First time with D&D, was during the pandemic, with an online DDAL game. Then, I bought materials and now I have a lot of hours of playing time :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Regarding DMG, Starter Set and Essentials kit: Are they good for the starting DMs?

    Hi! I'm writing this thread because in this forum I'm noticing several thread speaking on the role of the DMG: For some people it's a good reference book but not a starter book. For others the Starters and Essential Kits should be the real "starting" DM guide, for other the PHB, except for the...

    D&D 5E (2024) The new playtest Exhaustion rules has already fixed the exploration pillar a lot.

    This new exhaustion can help a lot fine tuning the exploration pillar mechanics: for example, not eating for a day is two level of exhaustion up, but eating a goodberry could raise exhaustion by only one (thus eating and foraging classic food is still a need but not as urget as before, or...

    D&D 5E (2014) In Search Of: The 5e Dungeon Master's Guide

    I think that the heart of the debate is that the Starter Set and Essentials Kit are like a demo of D&D, and not a standalone version of it. In all the three products (Both Starter Sets and the Essentials Kit) there is an adventure with some "advice" to the DM, but not a guide on how to be one...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie to get Prequel Novels

    "So, I'm behind this tree, that should give me a total cover" "You see, that tree is not enough to give you a total cover, maybe it's a three quarter, but this can change during your enemies' turn" "COVER NOT FINAL, at your favourite book store"

    D&D 5E (2014) My guesses for what will be in the Book of Many Things

    Kingmaker for Pathfinder have praised kingdom management rules. I hope this book will have rules for managing kingdoms too. Having it printed on this book will permit to not print them on the new DMG, both saving spaces and have a good book to sell both to 5e and oneD&D masters. It's a win win...

    D&D 5E (2014) Spellcasting Focus, Magical Items and Hands

    Hi all! Yesterday my party had the fight of a lifetime against the Tomb of Annihilation mastermind. At some point, he sawed of one of my hand (I'm a wizard with a wand as a spellcasting focus), and next turn the other one. So I was pratically without hand, but I noticed that Mage Hand cantrip...
