    It's Not D&D - My Experiences

    Death needn't always be on the line. The current edition has setting rules to tailor the lethality and flavor of combat from Saturday Morning Cartoon to Gritty. The prior Explorer/Deluxe edition had a one sheet with setting rules for Gritty combat and, iirc, there was encouragment to tailor...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Role of the DM in One D&D

    It was in 3e. It was stated multiple times in the DMG for 3.0 (and I have been told for 3.5) which is why many players were not aware of it.

    D&D 5E (2014) A monster stat block should always fit on one side of one page maximum (a poll)

    I voted the stat block should be as long as it needs to be. For most things, the stat block should fit on one page (lore can go over). However, as some others have written, certain unique creatures (e.g. Vecna, the demon prince, arch-devils) can go over if needed.

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Shows Us The New Druid & Paladin

    I wouldn't allow most WOTC supplemental material as I find it just poor design (of which the Twilight Cleric is just one example). Most of what I see so far in the playtest classes just furthers my dislike for the work of the current design team. Much better 3pp content out there to choose from...

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Shows Us The New Druid & Paladin

    Because I think there is already too much ranged and area healing in the game. Druids have enough healing spells and, if the designers want a Druid with more healing, they should, imo, make a druid subclass focused on healing rather than forcing the Healing Blossoms (which I don't consider part...

    D&D Movie/TV Do you think the D&D Movie will be good?

    I suspect that I will be disappointed and plan to wait for it to come to either a TV or a streaming service. On the plus side, there will not be scenes of kids playing the game and controlling the characters.

    Does anyone else want to see Healing Blossoms removed?

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Shows Us The New Druid & Paladin

    I'd be all for an elemental subclass and giving the moon druid the ability to hit harder. It would allow me to ban the elemental subclass which does not fit my homebrew campaigns and solve my criticism of the moon druid changes.

    D&D 5E (2024) New One D&D Playtest Shows Us The New Druid & Paladin

    Overall, not impressed so far. The only thing that I like about the OneD&D Druid is proficiency in Light armor and simple weapons (which were my planned house rules for Druid). As for the Paladin changes, I suppose allowing Unarmed Strikes to Smite is something I can live with. I also like the...

    ToV So What's In Kobold Press' BLACK FLAG First Playtest?

    I'll have to see more of the Witch. Right now, I see myself staying with Walrock Homebrew's Witch. In contrast, I would like to see both Kobold Press's Expanded Shaman and "The Many Spirits of the Shaman: Archetypes of the Shaman Class" web articles by Margherita Tramontano (from Kobold Press's...

    ToV So What's In Kobold Press' BLACK FLAG First Playtest?

    Keeping meaningful size distinctions is a plus in my book. D&DOne's approach was just one of several things turning me off to it.

    ToV So What's In Kobold Press' BLACK FLAG First Playtest?

    I agree. Ideally, Rural, Urban, Nomadic, etc, in my opinion should be separate. I would really like to see the Human cultures that Rich Howard, whom I believe still writes for Kobold Press, posted on his website as the basis and expanded upon. However, I do not know if Tribality owns it as the...

    ToV So What's In Kobold Press' BLACK FLAG First Playtest?

    Marc, there is an error on the experience chart. Both 4th and 5th level list 6500. Also, I think Humans should get a third heritage-Rural for farmers, villagers, and similar whom are not nomadic, but also not Cosmopolitan and streetwise. edit: I just your post about supplying feedback to the...

    D&D General Talking about Stepping Away from D&D?

    I was just talking with my "brother from another mother". We had been discussing gaming via either a vtt or something like Zoom once we both get over some health issues. D&D was one of the possible games since his daughter had begun playing 5e and he had bought the core books as a result. The...
