    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    I mean, I'm talking about the film based on Marvel comics.

    What TTRPGs Excel At Not Having Combat?

    Oh, hey, I don't have much personal experience with the Cortex system, but there are actual implementations in place already. I have heard the Leverage RPG using Cortex Plus, based on the TV show, is absolutely fantastic.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    I'll believe it: but if you look st the Tempest and Trickery Domains in the Old PHB...they are pretty clear the Asgsrdian brothers from the MCU, beat for beat.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    More robust for mounts would be cool...but theybare probavly best handled more like magic items, math wise.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Thor is the Tempest Cleric note for note (which I am gonna just predict coming along here eventually), and the Cavalier being the Defender class in D&D goes back to before I was born:

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    True, but the Subclasses specifically, which is all we have seen, did. Just saying, some of these could easily be for multiple books: say a Ravenloft revisit, a Dark Sun product, AND an Everything book with overlap.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Not mutually exclusive: the Class and Subclasses tested for Rising from the Last War and rhe subclasses for Mythic Odysseys of theros also were published in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    At this point, since May, they have tested way more new or updated Subclasses for next year than they did for Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. It seems to be a mix of replacements for the remaining PHB (and now DMG!) Subclasses from 2014, replacing those from Xanathar's, and some new ideas. So a...

    PbtA of some sort, not sure which one would specifically fit Titanic, but Pasión de las Pasiones might actually fit the bill.

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Books Tables of Contents

    I mean, everything about the parallel dimension swap is pretty painful, and probsvly even worse that it has been essentially all erased.

    What TTRPGs Excel At Not Having Combat?

    Gotcha. That seems easy enough, tons of games don't focus on combat at all. For my money, it is more interesting that there ia now a solid option for a game that has crunchy tactical combat that doeforce fhe PCs to engage in that aspect of the game, as they can focus elsewhere. Should be...

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    The nice thing about the Forgotten Realms is that most of the specific details are pretty easy to lift and use fir homebrew. That's the reason they focused so hard on it in early 5E: between dedicated FR fans, and homebrewers willing to file off serial numbers, it serves most tables.

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    Personally, it didn't bother me too much that the Core books kept things a bit more vague flavor wise. I kind of expected that they would spread the flavor around like this, it allows for Settings after FR to be a bit more out there (like Dark Sun).

    What TTRPGs Excel At Not Having Combat?

    The Punch-and-Judy thing is thst he has a player who wants to be useless in combat, a traveling Puppeteer. Thinking about it, @Reynard , I've gotten the shape of a build in the Cosmere RPG that follows that bill: following the Envoy Career with a focus on the Awareness and Presense Abilities...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    I think this gets to the heart of the matter, and shows why the 5E game works with fairly little friction if the latter approach is used.

    D&D General The Revival of D&D with Jeremy Crawford at Comic Con.

    Saved to watch later: we are getting into an interesting new era, when the deep level insiders, like Crawford here or @mearls with his recent design commentary, are no longer at WotC, so the anecdotes and history will get some new texture that wasn't feasible to expect when they were still...

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

    What I mean ia, failing in UA meant they would be vetoed,but passing UA was not a guarantee of inclusion. It is a filter go winnow outnideas thwt did not excite, not a voting process. I know one thing they said at different points was that they were comparing the results of various surveys...so...

    What TTRPGs Excel At Not Having Combat?

    Ah, given this background, let me bear my drum: the Cosmere RPG would support this. It is entirely viable to create the character your friend wants to play who literally contributes nothing in combat, while another player is freaking John Wick and...it will work. It does require the DM provide...
