    D&D 5E (2014) Upcoming D&D Tidbits: Phandelver, Book of Many Things, Venger, & More!

    Perkins notes that by having more cards, DMs can pick and choose to make their own decks. This reduces predictability and I guess campaign blowing up….or makes it easier.

    D&D 5E (2024) What the 1e-2e Transition Can Tell Us About 5.5e

    Is that his point?? Or my point? 1D&D can certainly replace 2014 books if it is good enough. Early signs are unclear. But just making something compatible, as 2e was with 1e, does not by itself ensure success.

    Fantasy Wargaming (Bruce Galloway) – Anybody remember this "classic"?

    Its a strange book that was very well timed and hence got a strangely wide distribution on both sides of the Atlantic. I have it and yes, I always keep it handy.

    D&D 5E (2024) What the 1e-2e Transition Can Tell Us About 5.5e

    Ahh. I see. I think they will in fact want current players to get the new books. Thats why they are making so many changes and doing this huge open playtest. You can make up any definition of "significant" you want, but we are seeing a lot of changes, and its only just the beginning. If they...

    D&D 5E (2024) What the 1e-2e Transition Can Tell Us About 5.5e

    Sure. The issue is how many sticks. With 2e and 4e, it was a lot that stuck. Fortunately, they are not calling this 6e, so that may solve the problem.

    D&D 5E (2024) What the 1e-2e Transition Can Tell Us About 5.5e

    But you just may not buy. Thats the point. MoM has little to do with that.

    D&D 5E (2024) What the 1e-2e Transition Can Tell Us About 5.5e

    I managed to read the whole OP! I feel proud. There are certainly similarities. There has also been initial waves of anger with One. Those may fade. But there is the real danger. 2024 D&D will just be ignored by a lot of current gamers. Many people I know who staid with 1e weren't really mad...

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest Druid and Paladin One D&D survey is live.

    Its the least they could do! But they also allow smite on ranged attacks, and the smite spells are much better.

    D&D 5E (2024) Odds and Ends from D&D Direct, Including Another Movie

    BTW this is still that documentary. Albeit now with lots of celebs talking about how they once played. Also, JM always refers to the live action DL series. Will we ever see it?

    AD&D 2E Blast from the Past - AD&D 2E Core Rules 2.0 (with Expansion)

    I have my very beloved Dragon CDs. But never got this. I know people who did, loved it, and then were somewhat annoyed when 3E came out--and we moved to it.

    Going back through it again....they really love the paladin.

    Could the PHB hit number 1, again?! It may actually be possible.

    (IC) Against the Giants PBP Group 1

    Tenibor heads about 15 feet south--though he tries to otherwise stay out of the way. He is not worried about the current combat and does not attack. He is worried about the current combat getting much harder, and will keep his eyes and ears very open for any sound of encroaching giants...

    D&D 5E (2024) Developer Video on Druid/Paladin/Expert Feedback

    So, the more spelled ranger, most improved class!

    PALADINS!

    Oh no, the biggest upset, only the second time a 16 seed beat a 1 seed, involves KNIGHTS. Almost a pattern. As for FDU beating the Purdue Boilermakers, just yet more evidence that artificers suck.

    ToV Black Flag Playtest 2: Magic, Luck, Fighter, Wizards!

    And they have split out feats and ASI. At 4th, 6th, and 8th level the fighter gets a +1 to an ability score and a talent.

    ToV Black Flag Playtest 2: Magic, Luck, Fighter, Wizards!

    Just started reading and can already tell that a lot is here. But Last Stand feels so 4e. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.
