Frontiers of Eberron: Quickstone has PC gargoyle stats. What I want is a way to summon them again. In 5.14, Conjure Minor Elementals could summon gargoyles (as they were elementals) but when the summons were added and CME changed, you lost that ability. I'd love a separate summon gargoyle spell...

Beyond is a VTT, character generator, interactive character sheet, online database and e-commerce site. It's a little more complicated than hosting the SRD.

My 46 year old stigmatic, far-sighted eyes beg to differ!

If you think server farms are free, I can give you the power bill of a major data center to pay. Server farms are getting hella expensive to run, with AI servers consuming the power equivalent of whole cities. One of the biggest issues we're going to have to deal with is how resource hungry the...

I was wondering if it was meatier than Astarion or Netheril. I think I got my answer.

That's why they call it Wizards of the Coast! 😉 Then again, I get the notion we're never going to see a setting detailed as deeply as the old "separate line" era. Eberron was essentially the end of that style of setting coverage. I actually don't think I would want the old era of multiple lines...

I remember when we thought this was going to be a full scale book!

I was just pointing out how much someone who started in 5e would have setting support without relying on converting or wikis.

The only setting that meets that criteria is Forgotten Realms. Eberron had two books and two Adventure League paths, and Ravenloft had an adventure, a book, and a AL path. Still, it beats what every other setting so far has gotten.

Well, Wildemont got an AP (Netherdeep) and Darrington Press released a large amount of 3pp support. If any setting had a chance, it was that one. But you kinda supported my point; so far only Faerun, Eberron and Ravenloft got any sort of ongoing support. SJ, PS, DL, and GH all have token support...

Is this worth the $15?

I don't think they did so well on the Book of the Month Club schedule either.

Which settings would you have dropped support for to accomplish that?

We've had five new* settings that never had D&D support prior since 5e: Ravnica, Theros, Styrixhaven, Wildemont, and the Radiant Citadel. Three of those came with already included MTG fandom and one with the biggest streaming show in gamings fandom. How much do you think that moved the needle in...

I think what it comes down to is what we are calling the system. You can take the base mechanics of 5.x (d20 vs TN, advantage/disadvantage, proficiency bonus, etc) and build all sorts of games with it it. One Ring and Doctors & Daleks proves that. But you can't take the 5e Players Handbook and...

It's worth noting that Van Richten's Guide had a bunch of different origins beyond "offspring of a vampire". Some get rather close to a vampire spawn. Others aren't even vampiric in origin. Dhampir Origins Dhampirs often arise from encounters with vampires, but all manner of macabre bargains...

It's really not all the GURPS like, based on how much of it isn't as modular as people wanted. I can strip down 5e to brass tacks and rebuild atop it, but I can do that with a bunch of systems. D&D is good for D&D with different amounts of syrup to favor it, but it's not the Generic d20 Fantasy...

Before the book was delayed, they did a preview of the Eberron species and confirmed warforged was a construct and Kalshatar an aberration. (Changeling was already turned to a fey in MotM). https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2017-how-eberron-forge-of-the-artificer-reimagines

You already have Ravenloft and Dark Sun to fill that role. I think it would be more interesting to have it between the brightness of Faerun or Krynn and the darkness of the above.

I was absolutely sure they would be undead type. I am also surprised they removed the not breathing perk. Necrotic resistance is nice, but it's one of the easier resistance to get. (necromancer, undeath warlock and shadow sorcerer all get it at some point). I'm surprised they got rid of the...
