    D&D General What devil would most want to make trouble in the Radiant Citadel?

    I'd vote for Glasya, to answer the OP's question. Corrupting and destroying a slice of paradise seems like her MO.

    D&D 5E (2024) NPCs, and the poverty of the core books

    Also you can more or less just use the rules from those games. It's close enough.

    D&D General Dragonborn In Your Game (A Poll)

    I mean Dragonborn from 2024 PHB and Gem Dragonborn get wings and a flight speed (temporarily) at 5th level so if my player picks one of those versions they can (temporarily) have wings... but yeah otherwise not by default.

    D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

    I meant to vote for Goliath and not Gnome. I like having options and Goliath has lots of options.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    That goes back to how some settings have heroes as the enforcers of a relatively benign quo where the villains are those who threaten the normal operation of the world. These are easy to make long term RPG settings because you can always come up with a new threat. Dark Sun is another type of...

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    I never read the books. Honestly barely watched the show, I know it mostly from pop culture osmosis. I always figured that Ice referred to the frost zombies and the fire was the Dragons. So sort of Daenerys but not her precisely.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Honestly the main addition I made running Dark Sun was Shardminds. The idea was that a fragment of the Living Gate fell to Athas millions of years ago, before it was cut off from the rest of the multiverse, and getting burried deep underground. Though, a lot of it was blasted into fine dust and...

    I never even connected the titular song to Snow and Danerys.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Thought I was about to get introduced to some rare D&D lore I'd never heard of.

    The planes generally do all have their own common languages. Well, not the Shadowfell in default D&D. Kobold Press introduced Umbran. Material Plane = Common Upper Planes = Celestial Lower Planes = Abyssal or Infernal Mechanus = Modron Feywild = Sylvan Elemental Planes = Primordial

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Incidentally if anyone is looking for a quick and dirty conversion prior to whatever WOTC officially creates, I made one a few years ago for a game that sadly ended for reasons beyond my control.

    Gnomes, like monks, will be pried out of my cold dead hands. Huh.. I've never played a gnome monk before.

    D&D General Humble Bundle DM's Guild Top Content!

    With the approval of the creators, I would hope! I wish there was a tier between the 19 and 11 item bundles because I want most of what's in it, but I already have your MME in both PDF and Roll20.

    Please. Like it or not, there's no denying that dogwhistling racists will latch onto any changes WOTC makes to grift. Even if they'd never heard of Dark Sun prior.

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    While it was not a player character, one of my favorite stories elements in my Dark Sun campaign was a Templar of Tyr who still had her pact blade and magic from Kalak even after his death, and how one of the PCs was constantly butting heads with her but also slowly working with her to unpack...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    I don't think that's the point. The point is WOTC probably doesn't want to have a setting where chattel slavery is such a prominent aspect of the setting. Retconning them to be serfs is a metatextual choice but it's also entirely justifiable within the fiction for the logistical reasons.

    D&D General 6E But A + Thread

    Basically this, and it goes for the Warden, Avenger, and Invoker as well. The general problem with trying to take what was a class in previous iterations of the game and fold them into a subclass in 5E is that the design space for the core class will always crowd out the parts that many fans...

    Dungeons & Dragons Releases New Unearthed Arcana Subclasses, Strongly Hinting at Dark Sun

    Keeping it isn't a hill I care to die on, just like slavery... but it's not like Dark Sun was saying 'Eugenics is good'. It was a thing that happened and there are people born of it, but I never got the sense that it was meant to be anything but more evidence of how the society was evil and...

    Elves have always been terrible! They beget terror.
