    D&D 5E (2024) Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn

    This is heavily reminiscent to me of the first year of 4e. Nerath (Pseudo-Greyhawk) in the core books, then FR Player's and Campaign Guides as the first major setting. Given that 4e was literally trying to launch the VTT, maybe 2024 is the do-over of 2008?

    Greg Tito Leaves Wizards of the Coast

    I was afraid of exactly that when I saw the headline, and then I read the article and am brimming with joy that he's going to be using his talents for the good people of Washington! Best wishes to Greg!

    D&D General I miss Mountain Dwarfs

    That's because, while Our Elves are Different, Our Dwarves are All the Same. Just be glad we don't have playable Trolls in D&D.

    D&D 5E (2024) Warlock -- initial analyses

    Take Magic Initiate (Wizard) for your Origin feat then. Or even a Knowledge-based feat/background; you're still a Fighter but you're studying wizardry on the side for those first two levels. You might have insights in Arcane Lore or even be able to cast a Wizard cantrip while otherwise being a...

    D&D General Bob World Builder Recreates WOTC's "Do You Like Me?" Survey!

    I've mostly heard Pathfinder games getting explicitly called Pathfinder by players, rather than as, "D&D. – What version? Oh, Pathfinder revised.

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    Seems fine to me. What is not working for you? Sorry, I'm not digging through 81 thread pages, this afternoon…

    D&D 5E (2024) Have the 2024 PHB Reveals changed your intentions re: purchasing D&D 2024/25?

    No. I'm looking forward to 5e 2024 Core Rules, and especially the new organization of the PHB. A lot more useful.

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    Invisibility just means that you can't be seen. I think people are confusing this with continuous magical invisibility as you move out of cover or make noises. This is literally just consolidating the condition of not being noticed with the magical condition that makes you not noticed.

    D&D 5E (2024) Has the new PHB reveals made you want to stick to an older edition of D&D, or to move onto a 5e-adjacent RPG?

    No. I'm looking forward to 5e 2024 Core Rules, and especially the new organization of the PHB. A lot more useful.

    WotC WotC Removes Digital Content Team Credits From D&D Beyond

    Late to the party – last page I had read before this was Page 8 – I just submitted a support ticket to D&D Beyond as follows, attaching an image of the former Spelljammer credits (also attached here).

    D&D 5E (2024) How many of you would implement the drop to 0 HP, get 1 level of exhaustion house rule?

    I'd love a fatigue or morale mechanic implemented in the game, less extreme than exhaustion but along those lines, and along the lines of inspiration.

    D&D General Introducing henchmen and followers to players/PCs?

    Use the 3 NPC classes in Essentials Kit / Tasha's Cauldron. They're great for this, and can stay leveled with the PCs without overshadowing them. You can even let the players take turns or collectively choose the actions for these NPCs.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Background and Origin Feat Article

    v5.2 does seem battle-grid heavy and hard to do theatre of the mind with. In that way it's closer to 4e and v3.0-3.5's Miniature's Game, but mostly it seems like this was designed too sell subs to the virtual tabletop.

    WotC WotC Removes Digital Content Team Credits From D&D Beyond

    This happened with Metroid Dread too and people were pissed. You remove team members from the credits and you're essentially erasing their CV, because in the industry, credits are how CVs are crosschecked. I don't think this is negligence though - one day it was there and the next it wasn't. I...

    D&D General Dark Horse Comics Signs Deal with Wizards of the Coast

    The problem with the BOOM comics were that they're considered non-canon to the overarching MtG narrative. They were doing their own thing, for better or worse. Better in that they had the characters that people know and love and could play in the setting spaces introduced without worrying about...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Background and Origin Feat Article

    So how long until we can start CharOp, now focused on Background x Origin Feat x Class x Subclass instead of Species x Class x Subclass? I wanna see the Red-Purple-Black-Green-Blue-Cyan-Gold options colors back again!

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    More combat focused = more people needing to use a tabletop grid (with minis, buy yours today!) or a virtual tabletop (what luck! D&D Beyond subscribers get integration of the digital books they buy with the tabletop!).
