    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light has been released

    so basically at a quarter of the price in digital (given that digital is 50% to 60% of the print price)… interesting how that works ;)

    Shawn Levy Provides Update on Netflix D&D Show

    it’s probably more the other way around, if Netflix has an FR show, they do not also want all those other D&D shows. The ‘baskets’ in your analogy are the ones deciding which eggs they want, that is not up to Hasbro

    Shawn Levy Provides Update on Netflix D&D Show

    ah, was confused because games were listed under marketing too (('how their movies, shows and games should be viewed as marketing')

    if all of this is marketing, what is the direct revenue?

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    easy is also about effort, if it takes a lot of effort, then it was not easy no one is applauding that, what is being applauded are adventures that save on preparation time by being concise, well organized, providing required information in the right places, etc. so that prep takes less time...

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

    oh, there are several reasons why high level play is rare, sure. That it also is broken / hard to DM in the first place is not helping however I think games that limit themselves to 10 levels had the right idea, whether those are 1-10 or 5-20 with accelerated progression is up to what you are...

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

    and you do not consider the wheels coming off on the highway a design flaw? What about not telling anyone that the car is only semi-safe in the city and closer to a deathtrap on highways? It's not just boss monsters, high level play is the issue, the issue is at least as much on the character /...

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    once you find it, I doubt it also doubles as a good supplement

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    being easy to prep definitely is a feature. Even the walls of text are not explicitly trying to make that difficult for a reason

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    because they were irrelevant or because they explicitly do not have them?

    D&D 5E (2024) Odyssey of the Dragonlords Remastered Edition Kickstarter is LIVE

    guess the campaign is not going as well as initially expected / hoped

    except that in the analogy being level 15 is not illegal… and depending on the country driving 80 mph is not either

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

    I assume that if the rules say to disclose this, many DMs in fact would, 5e or not The problem is 5e, not the DMs

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

    I am not sure about that, but WotC definitely was not interested in creating one. For that sales have to tank first

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

    from the perspectiver of someone playing to 12, yes, from the perspective of a designer who designs up to 20, no. As to arithmetical progressions beyond that, I am not sure anyone expect those to hold up great. I doubt they will, even though it is pretty obvious that that is what they did...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    I don’t think it is a setting, it’s the stuff that connects different settings, so you can go from one to the other. As the KS said ‘The Labyrinth Worldbook provides something new in 5E tabletop, a campaign overlay. It is a means to connect together as many existing campaign settings as you...

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

    20 levels aren’t exactly open ended though they are also the easier ones to balance. I just don’t think a ‘we tried’ gets you much when the game falls apart around level 10 or 12 despite having 20 of those things.

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

    I don’t know, if you designed a car where the wheels come off at high speeds, I don’t think the defense ‘but only 10% or so ever get to those speeds, this is good design’ would get much traction…

    Shawn Levy Provides Update on Netflix D&D Show

    I agree, it would be cheaper, esp. if you want to go high fantasy. It’s just that I would prefer live action maybe I will give them a shot, so far I just never was interested, and it being animated definitely plays a role in that… Need something new while I am on the treadmill anyway ;) i did...
