Gargoyles: The Vigil A couple years ago, I came across a homebrewer who was attempting to introduce Gargoyles to the World of Darkness setting. He based his gargoyles after the ones in Disney's Gargoyle series. The main foe his Gargoyles dealt with in the World of Darkness setting were the...

I started playing 5e back in June 2021 and the first 5e adventure I played was Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus. This adventure ran from June 2021 to December 2022. My DM used the benchmark approach and by the time we finished the adventure, everyone in the party had advanced to 12th level...

Now that Heroes of Faerun has introduced us to setting-specific backgrounds for 2024 D&D, I can imagine that quite a number of us want more of them for the Forgotten Realms. ;) One Faerunian background that I have been musing on and off for a while now is the Tymanther Lance Scout. In the former...

Which monster type are you planning to use for them? Construct, Humanoid, Elemental or Monstrosity? Your initial post and @Stalker0 's post made me initially think of them being Elementals as in Earth Elementals (like they were in the 2014 MM). But since they are also biological as well as...

Hence the move in A5e to make the various subspecies in 5e into actual cultures. There was a 3pp back in the 3e era that talked about an arcane ritual called Egg Sculpting. This ritual allowed an arcane caster to magically alter unborn dragons into whatever they wanted. It came after whatever...

Which is what happened when Eberron was first debuted back in 3e. It introduced quite a number of novel things (elemental airships, the Warforged, Dragonmarks, the Artificer class, etc.)

But are there enough of these differences to actually warrant the creation of a new setting? Between 2e and 3e, there were a lot of changes made between the two editions to warrant the creation of the Eberron setting. Ditto for 3e and 4e with the creation of a Points-of-Light setting. 5e and...

It could. The vastness of Space as a setting. ;)

Or he was worried that the other races in D&D at the time could become more popular than humans and therefore no one would really be interested in wanting to play as a human. This 'worry' would later pop up in 3e's Savage Species which offered everyone the chance to play something even more...

They did. :) Thank you.

An updated version of 3e's Urban Arcana for 5e? AFAIK, A5e is a world neutral RPG. And since it's backwards compatible, its' game mechanics can be applied to any 5e setting.

An article on the latest issue of the GPG and what that issue is offering us, players, in terms of new monsters, subclasses, heritages, etc. :) I haven't seen any articles for issues #34 to #45 on EN World or on A5e Tools.

For the last couple of months, I haven't seen any GPG articles here on EN World. What's the story behind that? And will there be a Kickstarter for the GPG 2025 Annual next month? Inquiring minds would like to know. :)

I wish there was an emoticon in the Like button for people who want to groan whenever they come across a pun like that. :p "That said, this is a job for the KLF! The Kobold Liberation Front." :D

How many fantasy RPGs today still use the word Race when describing beings such as Elves and Dragonborn? Pathfinder 2e- Ancestry A5e- Heritage and Culture ToV- Lineage and Heritage 5.5e D&D- Species These four RPGs AFAIK are the only ones that moved away from using the word Race. What about...

This is something I happily agree with. However, it was A5e's splitting of race into heritage and culture that created that additional design space and those meaningful abilities at 1st and 10th level.

Which 21st century paradigm? And how is it compatible with racial abilities in A5e?

In terms of heritage, a Dwarf born to Dwarf parents is going to have the same innate traits (size, age, speed, Darkvision) as any other Dwarf. But where they will differ is if they are from a Mountain Dwarf, Hill Dwarf or Deep Dwarf culture because each Dwarven culture has a different set of...

And more unique as individuals.

That's a good Background idea. :) It's also a good example of Bardic Inspiration. ;) I've been musing on and off about a background for a Tymanther Lance Scout. In the Dragonborn nation of Tymanther, all Dragonborn are required to spend two years being a member of the Lance Defenders, who are...
