    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate 3 won so many awards that it started to "affect development"

    Us Zelda fans are feeling similar re: Tears of the Kingdom. Though we know when the next Zelda game is coming, not the next AAA Zelda title…

    D&D 5E (2024) Which subclasses “should” have been in 2024

    I think martials have a lot of toys now: Extra Attack, Fighting Style, Weapon Mastery, Superiority Dice Maneuvers. Even Monks have gone the opposite direction from some other classes – nearly everything that was magical about them has now become a martial artist ability based around their...

    D&D General A Setting with Only Small Races/Species?

    The monsters aren't necessarily small.

    D&D 5E (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

    And then you get stuck in that form when you depart again for the Star Wars Galaxy and we've got our ol' buddy Jax!

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #3: "New Paladin"

    That's fine. I like interacting with you too, Micah. We just might not agree about the direction of the game. :/

    D&D 5E (2024) Could we get a Bloomburrow (Redwall) setting for 5.24?

    For reference: WU = Bird*, Azorius Senate -------- also Innistradi Ghosts UB = Rat, House Dimir ------------- also Innistradi Zombies BR = Lizard, Cult of Rakdos ------- also Innistradi Vampires RG = Raccoon**, Gruul Clans, ----- also Innistradi Werewolves GW = Rabbit, Selesnya Conclave - also...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal: "New Wizard"

    And a Warlock who kits themself out with their handful of spells and invocations that aren't relevant won't find themselves very relevant either. But the Wizard at least can change that up on a day to day basis. The Warlock and the Sorcerer have to wait for level up to swap out a single spell or...

    D&D 5E (2024) Standard vs Alternate covers (+)

    Took 4 years before they did the collected box set for the 2014 versions.

    D&D General Words which replaced "race" in fantasy games

    Thank you, this is what I meant. I didn't mean to confuse or cast aspersions on anyone!

    D&D General A Setting with Only Small Races/Species?

    Clearly the murderer is the owner of the winning (read: only surviving) goose. But can the PCs PROVE the case in a court of Shirelaw? They'll need to gather the evidence or else the Defense will yell "OBJECTION!"

    D&D General A Setting with Only Small Races/Species?

    Oo, looks like a TTRPG way of playing the upcoming LotR Shire Animal-Crossing-like/farming sim video game. <3

    D&D General A Setting with Only Small Races/Species?

    Fairies are a small player species in 5e. Small size vs tiny size really comes down to gameplay reasons of an assumed combat square and standard weapon size – the same reason that Goliaths and Orcs etc aren't large by default but have "oversized" species features to let them emulate large size...

    D&D General Killing Gods

    That's the fundamental challenge WotC have to negotiate around. They seem to have come down upon the side of "the God is divine and unfightable unless they invest so much of their energies into a ritual that they lose their divinity temporarily." I think one of the Xeno games explores fighting...

    D&D General Words which replaced "race" in fantasy games

    My apologies, I didn't mean to imply you were making a straw argument or lying or being deceptive, just that your pretenses about the nature of set theory in social sciences seems to be incorrect, and we can't readily engage with it. Levi-Strauss' objectivism has long since been rejected by...

    D&D General A Setting with Only Small Races/Species?

    Bloomburrow. Also, Aasimar and Tieflings can be small in the 2024 PHB.

    D&D General Words which replaced "race" in fantasy games

    Then you're not going to get many answers, because your question seems to be built on false pretenses that others aren't really able to engage with you on. You might as well unask the question. Mu.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #3: "New Paladin"

    No, that would be tyranny of the majority, and something social democracies try to balance with protections for minorities. But this isn't a government, it's a game system, and one that is trying to sell as many copies and convert as many prospective buyers as possible into enfranchised players...

    D&D General Words which replaced "race" in fantasy games

    This is a schröedinger's box issue. We can't determine who is in the set or who is not in the set without understanding the unofficial boundaries to entry into the set. And once you observe it, you're influencing it.
