I'm happy they decided to ignore those complaining about spell slots. Now the Psion just needs some more refinements and fine tuning. Yes Ego Whip is bad, especially compared to Silvery Barbs which would be something that Psions should get on their spell list if they really wanted to bring...

A lot of companions like Ubisoft have studios in Montreal.

I don't remember mentions of Innistrad in any upcoming MtG releases, but I'm guessing that world would be a Domain of Dread in Shadowfell if they're going to do a D&D/Magic tie-in.

They'd probably have to update the Nature and possibly Tempest Cleric at some point with those Primal subclasses. Probably throw in some Ranger subclasses and the Scout Rogue too.

Hold Person is definitely one that's very useful for +1 target, and so is Tasha's Hideous Laughter.

I noticed that Bursting Shot still has no mention of the saving throw for the others caught in the blast radius.

I think the improvements the tattooed Monk needs is to get something combat related at level 6 with those celestial tattoos. Or maybe combine Celestial Tattoo and Nature Tattoo at 6th level, get Monster Tattoo at 11th level, and something else at level 17 like some sort of ultimate form.

I think Animate Dead is a problematic spell based on the sheer number of actions someone with a high number of minions using a high level slot will take. The spell should have been fixed when they changed all of the Conjure spells. Sure the making the undead more expendable features of the...

I think there's more of Ars Magica in Vampire: The Masquerade and Mage: The Ascension than in D&D. After all that's where the Tremere and Order of Hermes came from.

I think they're about as (un)popular as Wildren that were also in 4e.

The weirdest thing I realized is that I lived most of my life in the Second Elizabethan Era.

Too many are complaining about a really detailed cosmology which the original Planescape Boxed Set never had. The original 2e Boxed Set's coverage of the rest of the multiverse was roughly equivalent to the material in the current DMG about the multiverse. 5e Planescape is definitely meant to...

It doesn't when applied to certain music genres, but ironically enough adding the -core suffix might cause whatever music genre it's describing to lose all meaning.

The most Victorian D&D settings are Ravenloft with certain domains and Planescape with specifically how Sigil is (such as The Cant which is heavily based on Cockney Rhyming Slang). But I wouldn't consider Ravenloft at least to be Steampunk, the Victorian domains are just "Gothic Horror"...

It might sound like a very bad idea on the surface, but given some of WotC's actions in the past, I wouldn't completely rule out that they weren't at least thinking that.

They outright said that default D&D is in the Renaissance at least. From the interview about the PHB, it was said to be the reason why there were firearms. And that's consistent since Plate Mail was invented around the same time Firearms were invented in the real world.

They might say "Use Orc stats for Muls" it would be lazy, but I don't think this time they haven't completely ruled out using as much as possible from the PHB.

I have ideas what sort of Paladins could exist in Dark Sun despite 2e Dark Sun having a ban on Paladins. In many ways I feel it comes down to "No Oath of Devotion Paladins" as 2e Paladins were pretty well just Oath of Devotion types. I feel that out of the PHB you can justify an Oath of Glory...

There's a perfectly fine class with a subclass an Athasian Bard, it's called the Rogue with the Assassin subclass. I think they really messed up trying to get the Bard to fit into that archetype back in 2e. The College of Whispers Bard doesn't in that it's a spellcaster, and they'd probably...

I bought some novel written by him that was a retelling of Peter Pan many years ago.
