    D&D Beyond Releases Free Forgotten Realms Adventure

    The DMG spends quite some time using similar outlines and provides specific tools (the work sheets) and approaches on how to fill them out. They can be run with virtually no prep, or filled out very throughly, and the DMG teaches people how.to do so. This is a Setting book, after all, not a...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Book preview from NYCC

    See, that's just it...when I read Forgotten realma fiction, I can’t hear them speaking in European accents, they soujd like Midwesterners and Canadians. For Greyhawk, Gygax was pretty specific about using American accents, like the Free City of Greyhawk has people who talk like they are from...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Oh, yeah, the new name is horrible, amd the Xanathar's Guide Subclass is a tad...obviously the movie character?

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    Starting to see a lot of activity in Stormlight fan circles, particularly Discord for the game, it is kicking and growing, should hit retail shortly. In the meantime, the Brotherwise Games team shared this image from the Mistborn game, showing a Mistborn Pushing metal bits at a steel Inquisitor...

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    And more than being clear...finding insane, ludicrous levels of financial success and cultural spread while pursuing that route. Publicly traded companies best and worst feature is how predictable they can be...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    There are 4 Xanathar's Subclasses promoted and updated in the new PHB (Zealot Barbarian, Glamour Bard, Gloomstalker Ranger, and celestial Warlock) so with these 8 updated versions that leaves 19 on the table as potential test subjects (or 18 if we count Oathbreaker as a replacement for the...

    What TTRPGs Excel At Not Having Combat?

    How is Tales of Xadia? I have...thoughts...about how the show ended, but mostly I really enjoyed the Dragon Prince and the Setting was interesting.

    What TTRPGs Excel At Not Having Combat?

    Unfortunately, it dies seem the better Cortex implementations are out of print, if I am not mistaken. I know Cortex had been bought by D&D Beyond, or rather Fandom, before WotC bought them out. Whatever happened to the ownership there?

    D&D General Forgotten Realms: Real World Gods Still Present in the Old Empires

    Yeah, honestly a perfectly valid interpretation.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    I mean, the Drunken Fist style is an actual martial art tradition that has no connection to colonialism...or actually being drunk.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Yeah, WotC has happily reprinted options before. They don't expect people to buy every book.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Thst series of UA that covered those 3 books went from May 2019 to May 2020. His series began in May 2025. That could make sense, but hard to say since they are varying things up.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Well, 5 of those options in Tasha's were first published in Eberron Rising from the Last War and Mythic Odysseys of Therros, ao it is not necessarily for just one or the other. It is the case that the only similar series of UA in 5E history came before Xanathar's, Tasha's, and the 2024...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Juat to enumerate what we have seen in this series of UA 28 Subclass options, as opposed to 31 published in Xanathar'sand 29 in Tasha's: 1 from Tasha's (the Phantom Rogue) 4 from the PHB (the missing Wizards) 1.5 from SCAG (Arcana Cleric and sort of Undead Warlock as a replacement for the...
