You can pick multiples, so if you're an "all of the above", check them all!

The maliceborn pose an interesting problem with the possibility of turning the party's most effective attacks against itself. I think you should make the DC for Waves of Madness be 16 to match their primary ability, as their going to only get this once and should tip it more towards a 50%/50%...

Interesting take, but I'd rather we not take potshots at different editions, that's not the place for it here.

Eh, the 2014/2024 is the 1E/2E, BX/BECMI, 3E/3.5E sort of thing - close enough you can cross-use, but different enough to be noticeable (usually in character creation department). I thought about that, but didn't want to get too into the weeds because you could look at 3E & 3.5E the same with...

Dark Sun is definitely designed to be a "Sword & Sandals"/Post-apocalyptic sort of game. As @sevenbastard notes, the feel is similar to the state of the world in Fury Road, sans the modern vehicles (though you could replace those with Erdlus and Melkillots...). The beginning of Black Adam (in...

I'm curious to see what folks on ENWorld are playing these days, as regards to different D&D versions, including variants that replicate the various editions (Old School Essentials, OSRIC and such). As for me, I'm primarily playing 2014 5E, though I'm planning to start up a B/X campaign soon...

I still have (and will never get rid of...) my Dragon Archive CD-rom set. I have physical copies of Dragon #98 - #350 and Dungeon #13 - #150 (Including multiple copies of #78, with my "Winter Tapestry" in it), though they are all in storage. I was very sad when they ended print copies and what...

Yeah, that's even true for me - I've bought and skimmed it, but never got to actually give it a go. One day, I hope to get to try it out - maybe combine it with elements of Ghostwalk as a sort of 3rd faction (the spirits of the dead). I'd love to see it get opened to DM's Guild and see what...

"Stay Safe - Don't drink and roll"

The bold part usually results after a TPK...

Boo - uses spell slots and "up to Int mod" energy dice, which lets you front-load dice at low levels for disciplines. Should be "up to PB" energy dice. I'll stick with my hybrid Sorcerer/Warlock version.

Oddly enough, I've been reading a lot of my 2E rulebooks lately and eyeing a game of Old School Essentials (B4 - The Lost City)

If you institute a threshold, IMO you might as well go back to HP/level. As for the "not recovering" part - no thanks, unless this is for some nihilistic campaign, like Call of Cthulhu or Mork Borg (If I understand the premise of that game - I've never even cracked the cover of it).

General, not all. There's one or two pieces I do like (p. 6 of the 2024 PHB, for example), but it's only a small fraction. Certainly, none of the recent covers.

Seems like it would make 1st level characters invincible and ensure you never reach 20th. I don't see it working on any level of play.

@Stalker0 On Fabricate, a few things... 1) "You also can’t use it to create items that ordinarily require a high degree of craftsmanship, such as jewelry, weapons, glass, or armor, unless you have proficiency with the type of artisan’s tools used to craft such objects" - Unless the wizard has...

I just really don't like the general art direction the D&D books are going in. Curls my lips in the negative way Wayne Reynolds art does.

Same, I use the old "star metal" for adamantium, and getting enough together to make even the likes of a shield would on the order of an epic-level quest...

That does greatly depend on the style of play. A lot of times, if the game is just a constant dungeon raid, I'd expect that sort of behavior to be common. In other games, where characters can put the money to use - carousing, structures, henchmen/followers, titles, positions and whatnot - and...

As an aside, I can't carve up pumpkins myself. Pulling the "guts" out makes me want to hurl every time. So I have to settle for a little plastic one to put in the window every year.
