    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    Peak meaning sales? We have already seen other quotes that 2024 has outsold 2014 at least in the initial year, so certaintly didn't peak in the timeframe quoted. It seems to still be going.

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Abeyance, huh, yeah, What is it good for?

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    Can we get a source on this? And that's not me being ornery here, if we can get some validation this is a very solid metric to use in these discussions, and I want to ensure people see it and use it.

    D&D 5E (2014) See Invisibility: awareness of Invisibility

    From the 2014 rules on hiding: "You can't hide from a creature that can see you clearly" Normally invisibility gives you the concealment you need to hide out in the open. But with that gone, the caster can now "see you clearly" and you are no longer hidden.

    D&D 5E (2014) See Invisibility: awareness of Invisibility

    We are looking at the 2014 rules not 2024 (where things with that are even more messed up). But in 2014...see invisible makes an invisible thing visible. Now it does not technically say "remove the Invisible condition"....but we are at accountant level of stingy to go that far imo. With the...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    Yeah but considering that this is a half edition (frankly a quarter edition), that is still a great note for them. Half editions don;t normally sell as well as the OG product.

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    Part of this can be mitigated by DM presentation. It is true its easy to focus on the "kill shots" and not recognize everything else that lead up to that. If I cast a fireball and it hits 5 guys but none of them die, at first glance....yeah it feels pretty crappy. But if the DM goes "holy...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    Yes, but imagine if the coder for that game didn't have to bump up the stats for all of the monsters. they also had to add in new monsters and completely change up the encounters to adjust to the proper difficulty. And you had to do this week in and week out. And you don't get paid. Welcome...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    And Adventurer's Guild. We have to remember that a number of people never get to play home games, there only dnd may lie in gaming events and AG adventurers. All of the broken stuff is available to them by default.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    Now that we have had some time to let the box office settle, the consensus seems to be that Superman was NOT a box office hit. Ultimately it lost money once all the expenses were tallied up. But its an interesting debate, there are a lot of notes around merchandising, streaming numbers, etc...

    D&D General The Beautiful Mess of 5e

    and why it wasn't buffed in 5.5? Honestly 8d6 at 5th level is pretty darn good. A 5th level cleric might have 31 hp. So a single fireball with just a touch above the answer can absolutely melt some 5th level characters. as was noted, its really the upcast where the problem lies. A 8d6 3rd...

    D&D 5E (2024) Does Innate Sorcery grant True Strike advantage?

    Its noted here, but I'll highlight the key note: http://dnd2024.wikidot.com/class:multiclassing Spells Prepared. You determine what spells you can prepare for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a level 4 Ranger / level 3 Sorcerer, for...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I already noted that the world could tolerate their big plan, because they were such world heroes. but then that mass world uniting plan failed. So its not about the immediate sacrifice, its about it was never even a consideration after that, even when there was a really really good chance the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Not upgrading? What version of D&D 5e are you sticking with?

    I am curious how the 2024 monk holds up against 2014 classes. I've been in the camp that the monk was weak in 2014, is it balanced now, or is it OP against toehr 2014 classes I wonder.

    Dungeons & Dragons Reveals Two New Spells That Will Appear in Forgotten Realms Books

    and rituals do not need slots. A wizard with no a spell slot left on their person can still do a ritual. My point is, you can't just take a spell, casting it as a ritual to get the casting time to 1 minute+, and throw on circle magic. It has to be a 1 minute+ casting time at base.

    These people are your heroes. So when they are like "we are going out there and we are going to beat Galactus"....yep I believe them. And then they come back with "we don't know how to save us....well actually we do, with the sacrifice of 1 life we can save our entire race" and when they refuse...

    I think its because people are parents and go so far to protect their kids that they 100% would not get it. To "possibly" save your kid, your going to kill my kid, and my friend's kid, and my neightbor's kid....and the entire human race!!! The problem with morality debates is they tend to...

    Dungeons & Dragons Reveals Two New Spells That Will Appear in Forgotten Realms Books

    So a huge thing I just noticed in that article. To be viable for a circle spell, the spell has to have a 1 minute casting time+, and use spell slots (aka no rituals). So these spells are 1 minute long casting time spells normally....that's.....garbage tbh.

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    Welcome to 4th edition! :) In seriousness, that is most how 4e worked. The rituals were usable more often but they cost gold to use, but the same general outline of what you put above.
