Woohoo!

I caught screenshots as it went from $599,992 to $600,062. 🤓

There is also this. Backers will get batches sent as testing is completed.

I would not be surprised to see them do a ratmen take. Matt has expressed fondness for fantasy ratfolk that aren’t wererats.

I’m excited for all of it. But I hope to see the lair work. I’m already ready for using the preview as my PCs are about to take on the Goblin King section of Goodman Games’ 5e conversion/expansion of The Lost City. that … war spider tho!

Is using the full range of random hit points a monster stat block count as fudging? Or must every monster encountered stick to the average? Because a roll all attacks in the open. But I decide on-the-fly what hit points any given encountered foe has within the stat block range. Why is this...

I want guidance for different styles of adventuring on a ship, how to get a ship, costs of a crew if you are the owner of the ship. Very light weight abstracted ship combat, nothing that is complex but still makes characters want to fight a boarding action instead. A focus on adventures and...

I think towards the end of 2e kobolds we’re getting associated with dragons. The Dragon Mountain boxed set had a kobold clan that was protected by a dragon that had a section that felt like a Tucker’s Kobolds homage.

I think at this point a fresh explanation of what 5e’s “Feywild” is is in order, just so people can set appropriate expectations. I mean, I’m perfectly willing to accept “Feywild origins” as not equal to “fey”, that the plane called Feywild even has its own population of...

This didn’t sound up my alley. But all the griping seems like a heck of a positive advertisement so now I’m intrigued enough to place it my desire list.

Magic spells in D&D will always have certain things. 9 levels, 8 schools, Fireball will be level 3… that kind of stuff that we all understand is essential to the D&D brand we know. For me, a D&D psionics could have 5–6 disciplines. Maybe divided into sciences and devotions. Maybe even a dirt...

Mostly. I am using Downcrawl to develop my underground, after years and years of dissatisfaction with TSR/WOTC’s Underdark, finding Downcrawl was a revitalizing for me. Downcrawl has large caves filled with a nearly ever present phosphorescent fungus that can also function as an orientation...

I prefer being a player. No one in my group will DM however, and they like the campaigns I create. So. ¯\(ツ)/¯

WotC’s agreement with the official fansite was that the fansite update (and add to if necessary) the unfinished, unreleased products to 3.5. And must be released for free. There was no agreement to permit Athas.org to release the product using 2e rules, unfortunately.

The Zakathi sound like a nice candidate for use of an Athasian dwarf.

That is what I am saying is bad advice. I didn’t say “knowledge of what abilities the PCs have”. I said “knowledge of the abilities”. I was probably too economical in my choice of words. It seems there is a debate over what I meant by “must know” as being “should have a general idea”. I did not.

A good understanding or general awareness of characters is one thing, and I fully agree with. But 1. knowing 2. all abilities 3. of all characters … is beyond reasonable for a DM. It is a subset of the worse advice that DM’s must know all the rules. My job is the DM, running all the monsters...
