    WotC Updates D&D's AI Policy After YouTuber's False Accusations

    In particular I hate the lazy form of "journalism" that's all too common these days: "Here's how people are reacting to ___" and it's just some twitter posts. I make it a point to avoid sites and channels that promote this kind of garbage, and refuse to even click on the ragebait story/video...

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest 8 Spell Discussion

    Not seeing the logic of why Fortify needs to be equally distributed... What if I want my barbarian to get 60, and 20 for everyone else, etc.

    Paizo Unveils Two New Classes

    Interesting concepts as a non-PF player. I have a few custom divine spells that contact spirits to provide their effect similar to the animist and having a whole class that does it might be cool. Forgot how much wayne reynold's super-busy art turns me off though. :giggle:

    D&D General Check Out This D&D Documentary Courtesy of TIME Studios

    Not sure what's with the hostility... it seems like a quite good explainer for people who aren't familiar with the game or its history.

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Includes 5 Classes & New Weapon Mastery System

    I always assumed that, as horny as the old coot was and how long he's been around, at least 10% of sorcerers were descended from him by now, like Genghis Khan. Scion of Elminster sorcerer subclass, anyone? Back on topic, quite pleased with berserker, a bit disappointed in offhand attack rules...

    D&D 5E (2024) RD&D MM will have nearly 500 Monsters, and new NPCs.

    Hoping to see a lot more variants of humanoid type monsters with pseudoclasses in 4e style - a berserker orc, a soldier orc, an archer orc, a hunter orc, a shaman orc, etc.

    What is D&D if not slaying problematic things and taking their stuff?

    D&D Movie/TV Watch This Honor Among Thieves Clip (With a Cameo from the D&D Cartoon Adventurers!)

    <Posts clickbaity blog griping about how the movie has no respect for displacer beast rules and the producers can't be trusted> j/k, looks great. Only thing that surprised me was Neverwinter having lethal blood sports.

    D&D General The Owlbear Druid: How Would You Do It? (A Poll)

    Since the stock 5e owlbear is a pretty sad take on the monster and not much different from a cave bear or polar bear, I'd just make it a beast. It doesn't have any traits that should disqualify it.

    D&D Movie/TV Why is the media overstating how controversial the Druid's Owlbear shape is?

    So much of gaming journalism these days is just drama mongering clickbait, often just "X slams Y for Z" with a bunch of reactions from twitter, even on some of the more reputable sites.

    WotC Wizards D&D Japan releasing cool art.

    I knew the Record of the Lodoss War anime was based on a real D&D campaign in Japan but I'm surprised to see just how closely some of the character designs of the show match the style of these player class archetypes.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D One Changes to the Rogue...

    This is how I've been houseruling SA since 5e launch and it's been fine. Will continue that way if 5.5e restricts it to the attack action on your turn.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Expert Classes Playtest Document Is Live

    It was a brain fart. I meant to say that you have advantage on the roll if trained in both sleight of hand and thieves' tools, not double proficiency.

    D&D 5E (2024) One D&D Expert Classes Playtest Document Is Live

    Thief's Fast Hands lets them Search as a bonus action... but trapfinding is a Study action and not a Search action... :confused: Also Fast Hands says that disabling traps and picking locks is a Dex (Sleight of Hand) check that is also made with thieves' tools. The tool proficiency glossary...
