    D&D General Universal Studios Hollywood to spotlight Dungeons & Dragons in special event

    If any fellow Souther Californians want to plan a day to meet at Universal for this, I'm down!

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    Because she also said it's releasing for PCs, which does not mean Windows only. If she had said the beta was Windows only, and they will get to Macs eventually, I wouldn't have asked for clarification.

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    I've asked for clarification because, again, PC can mean Windows, Mac and even Linux.

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    I asked in the General Discussion Forum on DDB yesterday but no answer as of yet. Fingers crossed. Edited to add: Also worth noting that the Unreal engine (which they're building on) is designed to output to both Mac and Windows. While some tweaking needs to be done for each OS, there's no...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB Release Hype Thread

    I went by mine last weekend fearing the same thing, but was able to get one held for me!

    D&D 5E (2024) Greatweapon fighting style? Is this another joke? Did everyone at WotC failed elementary school math classes?

    I'm not arguing with the math, I'm arguing with the feeling. Never being able to roll less than a 6 on the die with a great sword is cool. Being able to roll a 15 damage with a single attack at 1st level is cool. The math isn't felt at the table. The floor increase is. I doubt any player...

    Perhaps a 'sequel' to Dad:HAT?

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB Release Hype Thread

    We are 1 freaking week from being able to get the 2024 PHB on Beyond or from our FLGS (I'm getting from both). Even with all we've seen in previews from reviewers and hype from WotC, I can't wait to get my hands on the product and start to dig in! What are you most excited about for the new...

    D&D 5E (2024) Greatweapon fighting style? Is this another joke? Did everyone at WotC failed elementary school math classes?

    The fighting style is about raising your floor. It may not seem powerful in a white room, but I suspect it's pretty good in actual play. A 1st level great weapon master with a Great Sword is now doing a range of 9-15 damage per hit instead of 5-15. And remember that on a crit, the min is...

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    I don't want to sound overly optemistic here, but if the DM UI for this is AAA quality, Sigil could do a lot to close the DM shortage gap. For one, if it intuitively handles most of the combat bandwidth for DMs, making it much easier, that's one huge benifit. And if the dungeon designer UI is...

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    I think this is very unlikely. Lootbox monetization doesn't really fit a cooperative play game like D&D, so even if for some reason they tried it, I don't think people would buy, the product would fail, and whoever thought to implement it would be looking for work. I think it's much more...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces 3rd Party Creator Partners

    Perhaps Demiplane becomes the Android of WotC's Apple? If this new marketplace is as successful for WotC as they hope, there will almost certainly be a competitor who enters the market to provide an alternative, and Demiplane is already supporting non-d20 based systems. If they could land an...

    Well I won’t be beta testing in the fall if not. For the most part I am too, but for what it’s worth, Stream differentiates by Windows/Mac.

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    I’m pretty sure by PC they mean Windows and Mac. Its consoles, tablets and phones that will come later.

    How is starting a collection a red flag? That’s exactly what you do when you purchase physical minis and terrain, which is what PS is emulating.

    I think they said at GenCon that they had imported a lot of 3D assets from BG3.

    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn

    A bit surprised that PCs are getting splat so quickly after the release of 2024. I'm guessing we'll see the remaining Wizard/Cleric subclasses from 2014 updated here, but I wonder what else?

    Project Sigil All the Deets on Project Sigil the D&D 3D Virtual Tabletop

    I'm honestly more excited about this than the 2024 Rules revision. I've always wanted to use 3D terrain in my games, but the cost and storage space always kept me on 2D maps. Sigil looks great so far and I can't wait to Beta test it this fall.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces 3rd Party Creator Partners

    I thought the same. Crit Role announced at ComiCon that they are sticking with D&D post C3, which I would guess mean that they will continue to relase books on DDB. Looking more closely, this isn't an all encompassing list so not being on it doesn't mean they won't continue to release on the...

    D&D 5E (2024) The D&D Direct 2024 Watch Thread

    The map building tools in Sigil look really good. I know it's hard to tell from just a few seconds of video, but it seems to have a Sims/Minecraft vibe to it. If that map builder is a user friendly tool, I can't wait to see what the community comes up with to go in the marketplace.
