    D&D Adds Two New Books to 2025 Slate, Including New Eberron Book

    I assume the dragonmarks not being "species-locked" means they aren't presented like subraces this time, not a 4e style player entitlement thing. Hopefully this also means that using most of your dragonmark abilities isn't locked out to non-spellcasters. I do wonder how the Mark of Finding will...

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    It's a shame they couldn't get the MM released this month, they could have at least claimed that everything came out in the Year of the Dragon.

    When did the "C" drop from CRPGs and when did "TT"RPG spring up?

    Reminds me of a bit from story about Twin Peaks' influence on Link's Awakening... “They were talking to me about a Twin Peaks game, and they mentioned Zelda at the time,” says Frost. “They said, ‘One of the things we love about your show is how there’s all sorts of sideways associations that...

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    When me and my friends started with the Red Box, no one played a Halfling because we had no idea what it was supposed to be. Months later I visited a Hobby Shop to get books that you couldn't find at the toy store, and I overheard a couple of grogs talking about D&D elves being too short. Didn't...

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    I wonder if something about the contractual arrangement between WotC and OBS makes this harder than it should be. I mean, it's 🦇💩 crazy that the Keith Baker's Eberron books aren't on DND Beyond.

    The Gith Are Now Aberrations in Dungeons & Dragons

    At least in kanon, the Gith were the "base material" that the Daelkyr used to form the Mindflayers.

    Monster Manual Suggests Changes Are Coming to Some Playable Species

    If they do an Eberron refresh, I could see them updating the creature types for the four species there: Changeling - Fey (like MotM) Warforged - Construct Kalashtar - Aberration Shifter - Monstrosity (and while they're at it, give them access to all the beast shift types instead of having to...

    D&D General Poll: Did you watch the D&D cartoon when it was new?

    Our local affiliate would play it at the very end of the Saturday morning cartoon line-up, so as often as not, I'd be preempted by some college sports game.

    Diamond Comic Distributors Files Bankruptcy, Sells Alliance Game Distributors

    D&D General Let's make the upper planes playable!

    Having Arcadia be dominated by ant dudes never really sparked for me. Being situated between Mechanus and Mt. Celestia, I always thought this would be the perfect place for Biblical angels, who project an aura of fear until they pronounce, "Fear not." Arcadia - plane of fearful symmetry.

    2025 Monster Manual to Introduce Male Versions of Hags, Medusas, and Dryads

    While the golem of Prague is the most famous, there are other examples, the first being recorded in the Talmud. Rava, a 4th century Babylonian Rabbi, was said to have created a man out of dust who could not speak.

    2025 Monster Manual to Introduce Male Versions of Hags, Medusas, and Dryads

    I'd be neat if someone took another crack at a binder style MM. Full art on one side and stats on the other, with mylar reinforced edges where the holes are.

    2025 Monster Manual to Introduce Male Versions of Hags, Medusas, and Dryads

    This is really what the Eladrin should be. Send them lock, stock, and barrel to the Feywild. Replace them as CG exemplars with a group including Asuras and Lillends.

    2025 Monster Manual to Introduce Male Versions of Hags, Medusas, and Dryads

    Yeah, Ice Devils at least have thri-kreen to lust over them. 🥶

    2025 Monster Manual to Introduce Male Versions of Hags, Medusas, and Dryads

    Obviously a male Hag should be called a Coot. :D I've always thought of fiends as elementally evil. A demon is evil and chaotic like a fire elemental is hot and dry. A change in aspect result in a change in form.
