    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    This is absolutely awful. It reminds me of rotoscope or early CG animation. The death knight of the 2014 Monster Manual was Lord Soth, the most iconic death knight in all of D&D. The art was gorgeous. They didn't need to re-do the art because the existing art was gorgeous.

    Mainstream News Discovers D&D's Species Terminology Change

    Every time I think of ancestry, I think of genealogy, particularly with Ancestry.com. Other terms I've heard are kindred, lineages, and heritages. The last two just don't gel with me. My rule of thumb is that whatever term is used needs to replace "race" or "racial" in a sentence. My only...

    D&D General Brain Fart - Battle Master Maneuvers Used to Create Archetypes?

    I'm having a brain fart. Maybe you guys can help me. In some D&D book (possibly third party), there is a section on taking some battle master fighter maneuvers and combining them with skills, feats, etc. to create archetypes. I want to say one is a gladiator.I thought it was in Tasha's or...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    I ran Dark Sun for about 2-3 sessions back in the day, but ended it. I think my big problem with the setting was that there was no room for heroes. My group was partially comprised of former gladiator slaves. One of the player characters became a general of escaped muls, half-giants...

    D&D General D&D is ruined forever! (humor)

    Tracy Hickman. Because who needs story in their games, right? ;) (For the record, I love what Tracy Hickman has done for the hobby.) -------------------- Also, any and all campaign settings. Greyhawk - Too basic Forgotten Realms - Too detailed Dragonlance - Too railroady Taladas - Not...

    D&D 5E (2024) Alternate GOO Warlock Patron Ideas

    I'm picturing a warlock whose patron is "The Man in Black" - Johnny Cash himself. You can summon ghost riders in the sky or a ring of fire. Or...get this...you could have your patron being Waylon Jennings. He would narrate your adventures Dukes of Hazzard-style. Hank Williams as the Drifting...

    D&D 5E (2024) Alternate GOO Warlock Patron Ideas

    I dig the idea of a warlock patron granting psionic abilities, but I wish there were alternatives to having Cthulhu-like beings granting them. I'd like to come up with some alternatives. The first thing that comes to my mind, which would be great for thri-kreen, is a hive mind. It has the...

    It's already in the D&D older editions forum.

    Psychic Warrior Ragnara's Backstory?

    I can tell you that Ragnara was formerly known as Ma'Varkith, in the original Psionics Handbook, IIRC. From what I remember, she wasn't considered a Maenad at that point. They re-used the art, chose the name Ragnara (which I like better), and have used her for minis.

    D&D 5E (2024) Why aren't you using 5e 2024?

    The games I am in just haven't made the change yet. The DM for the two I play in just got the new PHB and DMG and has not digested them yet. One of those games is science fantasy. We use Dark Matter for that, which is 2014-compatible. I don't know if that one will ever change. I imagine the...

    Starfinder Have you ever run Starfinder with a different system?

    I really like the Starfinder setting, but I would prefer the idea of running it with a 5e-based system. The two I can think of right off are Dark Matter and Esper Genesis. Just curious if anyone else here has used a different system for Starfinder. What was your experience like?

    D&D General Greyhawk to Faerun and Beyond: A Multiversal D&D Lore Book Is Coming This Fall

    Is this book roughly the same size as the prior two art books, or is this something different entirely?
