My great-aunt wrote about her great-grandfather's obsession with Pike's Peak. I wish I had had more conversations with her before she passed a few years ago. One day I'll go there myself.

It's beautiful and an easy on/off from the Mass Pike right after entering the state from CT Rt 84.

You're welcome! I had to do a bit of digging in my old 4E magazines archive (I don't think I've touched it much since 2014 when I last overhauled its structure, but this is the sort of ocassion I love that I spent so much time making sure I didn't lose a single article when we got warning that...

My fave coffee shop in Queens has been steadily increasing in price in the 3 years I've been visiting. It's gotten to the point that if I guess a large latte, a cortado, and a croissant sandwich, it's costing me over $30. This isn't just that coffee shop. It's prices across the board are...

This is also just a fun reference to 4e's Eladrin in Sarifal – Llewyrr Elves were an ancestry of Eladrin, rather than of Elf, because Eladrin had killed the High Elf and taken its stuff (it got better). See Dragon No. 376 "Realmslore: Sarifal" (June 2009); see also Dragon No. 405 "Character...

I'm wondering if the Lorwyn supplement started as a Moonshae Isles supplement and Llewyrr looked so silmilar to Lorwyn that someone at corporate said – wait no, we're doing a Lorwyn magic set in January, make this a Lorwyn thing. I was glad that we got actual mechanical ancestries for Lorwyn...

Agree to disagree.

Battle Master with various Int or Wis-based martial superiority techniques is the inheritor of the Tactical, Resourceful, Insightful, and Skirmishing Warlord builds. The variant "Lazylord" build, usually using either Tactical Presence or Resourceful Presence, has an inheritor in the Roguish...

That's Greyhawk. They didn't really use it until the Revised Edition.

Beyond 4e's skill powers, there were also 4e's Martial Practices. In 4th Edition, certain spells from earlier editions only existed as rituals, a separate mechanic for the type of magical spells that are not really designed for combat encounters and are bigger in scope. Alchemy recipes were...

I thought it solved the samey-ness problem. Because between weapon mastery properties, fighting style/martial arts/rage/sneak attack, superiority maneuvers, and the various intrinsic weapon properties (light/2H/heavy/reach/etc), nearly every weapon can have it's own martial style built around...

I like ruling at my table that the Link can Draw the Master Sword as part of his attack OR he can sheath it as part of his attack (doing a cool swirly thing with the blade if he killed the bokoblin with it), but he can't draw-attack-sheath all in one 6-sec action (at least not without some sort...

Yeah, I'm going to call it a wash. Should have tried the entitles resyncing before writing it off, darn.

Confirmation that even though I pre-ordered the Digital Bundle, I did NOT get the Digital Expansions – I had to buy them separately.

Thanks – I didn't know that that was their usual upload time now. Back in the day they'd add things to the D&D Insider tools at 12:01 AM, but I'm usually not looking for things first thin in the morning at this point in my life. Just happened to because it's a holiday in the States here.

Whelp, it's 11/11 but still no separate-to-purchase Astarion's Book of Hungers / Netheril's Fall. Can anyone who got the ultimate bundle confirm if the first two digital expansions have been added to their library yet?

Dark Sun, Birthright, Points of Light.

Another part of this issue – Critical Role content is readily available on the website version of D&D Beyond, but in the celllular phone App version of D&D Beyond, they're missing from the databases. Not the book – it can be found in the Sources tab – but Echo Knight, Blood Hunter, etc are all...

The Phaerimm are in the two physical books in reference to the Anauroch and referred to as the cause of the downfall of this area via their anti-magic fields in the ancient past, so I would expect them to also be involved in this adventure location digital expansion. I'm sad that Shadar-Kai...

I thought the Rat King lived beneath Waterdeep?
