    WizKids to Release New Red Dragon Plaque, With More Manageable Head Size

    I dunno I think they're cool, just the kind of cool décor I'd expect to find in a good game store.

    These seem like the kinds of things which belong in a game store

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    I watched some videos of this and immediately thought "I want to make some additional classes for this." It comes with Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard. Each have a choice of two sub-classes once you reach level 3. Seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to make these kinds of character sheets...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Ah, perfect, yes. I think I read Leiber and Moorcock in my teens, but its been so long it would be practically new to me now. And I don't think I ever completed a full run of either author, so that's perfect for lining up after Conan. And I know I never read Pratt and de Camp, except that I'm...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Ah right, of course. I should have asked the question differently. I am looking for additional slightly more obscure books to read. I am reading the Conan books for the first time now, which I'm enjoying. Looking for other authors.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    On that note, what would you say are some others that have concentrated work that made its way into D&D, other than Vance?

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Just finished reading Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson. Great old fantasy book that was direct inspiration for some of what ended up in AD&D 1e. Trolls, Nixies, Law vs Chaos, bunch of other stuff pulled directly from this book. A fun, older read similar to Vance.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    More I look at the Circle of Preservation Druid, it's overpowered. No concentration always-on temp hit points to your whole party every round is just Twilight Cleric's mistake. Always injuring emanation with no concentration is just a better spirit guardians. This is just too much, at low levels...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Druid looks overpowered to me. That field damages foes when you move it over a foe, and when the foe moves into it or ends its turn there. You can move the field every turn. So they're going to be sweeping the battlefield every turn. Too similar to the couple of broken spells that work like...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    You start with a 17, so it's 3 points of 4 points assigned to it by level 6. But this is why I mentioned it's likely going to be a multiclass, with a focus on Charisma, and True Strike. My guess is Swords Bard (once they update it) will be the most likely multiclass? Regardless you could have...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    IF you're going Charisma focused and use Point Buy, you have a +4 bonus by level 4, and can be +5 by level 6 (because fighters get more ASIs). Then at level 15 they get additional uses equal to Second Wind + Action Surge, which is 5 at level 15 and then 6 at level 17. So except for level 3, the...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Gladiator looks pretty powerful. though I suspect it will mostly be for multiclassing with another charisma based class like Paladin, Warlock, Bard or Sorcerer. Already a dip for armor and Constitution save proficiency is very popular for casters. Five times per short rest (Max Charisma) for...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    I think this time frame for opening the first survey date (it then goes on for weeks) is standard for UAs for a while now.

    D&D General My experience with popular D&D VTT tools

    I am wondering if, for DNDBeyond existing users who have their character sheet there already, whether Maps will become the way in if you play D&D. I am hoping it's more intuitive and things are more built-in for D&D.

    D&D General My experience with popular D&D VTT tools

    I'd be interested in a review of Maps from DnDBeyond, if anyone has experience with it. I know it's still in Beta but apparently usable already? I guess it will be free to all as of Sept 16. "Starting September 16, in time with the release of Heroes of the Borderlands, all D&D Beyond registered...
