That was actually the change in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything; they've backpedaled since then to make most such features per short rest again (and make short rests more important for more classes, to boot).

Huh, forgot the screenplay was by Roald Dahl! In all seriousness though, not really. Characters are still far less resilient than they were in 4E.

Yes, they have – that's what I meant when I said it may be easier on WotC's side. But the process takes Authorial buy-in, RPGNow Buy-in, and Hasbro Buy-in. Before the buy-out, it also took Fandom Buy-in, which is why it literally only existed for a handful of Critical Role stuff that everyone...

Yeah, I'm happy with my physical copy for now; will wait for the digital copy to go up on 9/17 – I don't want to up my subscription just to get more easily searchable rules two weeks earlier.

The thing to note is that DM's Guild is now owned by Roll20, against which WotC is launching a direct competitor platform. So while from the D&D Beyond side of things, the licensing seems to be getting easier to bring in 3rd party content ever since WotC bought D&D Beyond, from an RPGNow side of...

Given that they're calling it now "Revised 5th Edition" a la "2nd Edition AD&D -- Revised" from 1995, I think we can safely put it in the same category as the various revisions to Basic D&D (B/X, BECMI, Rules Cyclopedia, Classic D&D), 2e AD&D Revised, v3.5 D&D, and 4e Essentials. If you want to...

I will forgive you for thinking this will happen! I'd argue that now that the first book is out, anything they publish referring to it would be more official than the series of [name pending] changes made over the last couple years. But for now, I'll be taking this as official word that these...

WotC are calling it the Revised 5th Edition, per the MtG Secret Lair X D&D 50th Anniversary crossover release.

What does Life of Brian have to do with my comment?

Just FYI, Hasbro/WotC seem to be officially calling it the Revised 5th Edition now.

Lore:Tosh Raka - The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP), Lore:Ja'darri - The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages (UESP) Wasitora, Nekoru Queen (Double Masters 2022) - Gatherer - Magic: The Gathering Cat-Dragons.

I do too! I was mostly kidding around about why Star Wars is considered Fantasy and Star Trek Sci-Fi – the "high theory" discussion of the genres and what needs to be explained versus what needs to be hand-waived.

Suggesting that Earthlings don't have any connection to Sigil?

Got mine in the mail today. My Dark Deal card represents the 2024 DMG cover art sketch; notably, it calls the edition: "Revised 5th Edition (2024)". Presumably Revised 5th Edition then is the name WotC has now landed on!

That's science fiction, we're playing a fantasy game here! Fantasy is all about the static mythic shared past; science fiction is all about the ever-changing myriad futures!

I'd note that the medium creature Mastiff is listed amongst the mounts and its art shows it wearing a saddle, but I can't find any rule in the glossary nor Chapter 1 nor Chapter 6 about mount sizes needing to be bigger than you. I'd assume RAI is one size larger, but I could see arguments made...

Oh, so the Elsir Vale on Abeir-Toril predated the Nentir Vale in Nerath? Fascinating detail!

1. Came here thinking article/post discussing how RPGs can learn from KoToR. 2. Learned about a cool city I had never heard of before. 3. Was puzzled why KOTOR until hearing about your cruise. 4. Now need to go back and read your other city articles!

As far as I can tell, the only reason why Bards even have a spell list above level 5 is for the 8th-level spell Glibness, only shared with Warlocks and not the other three lists Bards can draw from. Though I appreciate a standard Bard spell list for all 9 levels despite Magical Secrets; it’s...

Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling level 8 If not for you and for your Glibness My spells wouldn't need a second page
