How are Dispel Magic or setting up an ambush "adversarial"? That's a pretty crazy conclusion to draw that if a DM puts a challenge in front of the players then they are somehow adversarial

I have seen Tiny Hut completely trivialize DM plans for having the environment conditions matter (e.g. heat/cold), but this is no more gamebreaking than say Goodberry or Dancing Lights completely trivializing food/drink and non-magical darkness. I have never seen it matter for avoiding random...

Considering that you're literally the first person to ever make this comparison, apparently it is pretty easy to not do the comparison. I'm not familiar with older versions of the spell, but the 5e versions of Tiny Hut would protect against any wind speed, per the specific text that you quoted...

Are we really using real world disasters with catastrophic consequences to base decisions on whether a magical spell in a fantasy game is "realistic" or not?

I don't actually follow Critical Role or use the Tal'Dorei / Wildemount worlds, but two things I do love and use in my world are a) Deities (which is basically the Dawn War pantheon with one added), and b) Vestiges of Divergence legendary items tied to the deities.

How have Aasimar been isolated and forgotten? They got bumped up to being a core species in the PHB They still don't seem to be very popular among players, but you can't call them forgotten. When you open up the PHB they are literally the first one listed (because alphabetical, but still...

I would assume it's intended to be used for playing Magic the Gathering, but for people who want to show off their interest in DnD. MTG has 6 different creature cards of the Beholder type (including Xanathar), and 17 different creature cards of the Tiefling type, so there is significant overlap...

Yeah definitely people want VTTs but so many options already exist. It seemed from the start like WotC had no interest in a me-too-solution (solid logic imo) and that the whole point of Sigil was to develop something that blows them out of the water, providing an actual reason to switch...

They sort of do, maybe? The surveys usually have boxes where you can type in whatever you like or dislike about the subclass in general, which is where I provide my feedback on the Lore changes (not always applicable but it has been a few times now). Whether they read and care about the...

I wouldn't bet any large amount of money on that. My assumption would be that absolutely no one asked for it, other then WotC higher ups who figured that a video-game-like virtual tabletop interface was their path to establishing cosmetic microtransactions as an engine to endlessly print free...

It absolutely does matter, but Lore wise, Paladins in 5e get their powers from their Oath, not from gods. At least as the default Lore written in the books - every DM can obviously alter the lore as they see fit for their table

After looking into it for a few minutes, I guess actually Hasbro only receives royalties on Monopoly Go and not the full game revenue. Monopoly Go makes WAY more money than MTG but Hasbro only gets a fraction so yeah that checks out

I didn't read the article but is MTG actually making any money compared to Monopoly Go? I thought Monopoly Go dwarfed everything else Hasbro owns combined

Well ok, annoying clickbait phrasing aside, how are any of these party compositions better than another? Whatever approach the party goes with, the DM will tailor encounters to match up with whatever is required to challenge that composition. The entire concept of a "best" composition...

Why would the DM cry with any of those party compositions? DnD is not a competition of DM versus Players, because the DM can always win every time As long as the players are all paying attention, engaged in the story, and having fun, any DM ought to be happy no matter what classes they are playing

BG3 is the best video game DnD experience to date, for that reason, but I wouldn't call it close to "ideal" in comparison to playing at an actual table with other actual humans

Well I mean you are the one who asked the question which can only possibly be answered with speculation since obviously evidence cannot exist for what would happen in a hypothetical situation that has not occurred. So I don't know what you think you're accomplishing by pointing out that answers...

Priest at CR2 is a pretty common "monster" which has Dispel Magic. Most other monsters which have Dispel Magic would generally be found in specific locations - it is commonly found on Devils, Demons, Drow, Hags, Liches, Mummies, Sphinxes, but those aren't going to be wandering around the forest...

I seriously doubt that a PG-rated BG3 would have sold as well. A huge factor that drew so many non-DnD gamers in was the whole "you can do anything you want!" aspect. Obviously this is the norm for actual TTRPGs (to a far greater degree than is true for BG3), but BG3 goes so far above and...

This is exactly what I do. Short rests only take 10 minutes and can basically be taken any time the party isn't in imminent danger, but each character can only benefit from 2 short rests per day. This works really well, and many new players don't even realize this is a homebrew modification...
