If a fumble could break the attacker's weapon, perhaps a critical could damage the defender's armor? As for unarmored, perhaps a DEX modifier reduction (or for Monk/Barbarian the ability associated with unarmored defense as a sort of fatigue that can be recovered with a Short/Long rest)?

Time to pull out the Rolemaster crit/fumble charts?

I don't follow MTG, but after reading the lore page for this, it could make an interesting D&D world all unto itself. Extra points if they did a hardback with half being Lorwyn, flip the book over (and upside down) covers Shadowmoor.

* Takes notes *

D&D already has Ravenloft, it doesn't need Duskmourn.

After many hours of having played Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I would not inflict weapon breakage on my players unless we were doing something like Dark Sun.

My Guess (from the 2E era): Horde* (box set + 3 adventures) Maztica* (box set + 2 adventures + Gold & Glory) Jakandor (3 books) Council of Wyrms (boxed set/hardback) I'm not sure Mahasarpa counts, it was only a web supplement for 3E Oriental Adventures) There's also the MTG settings for 5E -...

Also, $666 for Planescape somehow seems appropriate...

In Gamma World, only those creatures borne of mutation can further mutate. Pure Strain Humans (or just about any D&D character) would take 8d6 damage instead. Gamma World and other games that feature Rads usually have some sort of method/device/tech for enduring or reversing the effects of...

Amazing analysis! Interesting Kara-Tur didn't make the cut for its own setting (it only has 11 products, by my count, so under the 15 minimum?). Also surprising that with the Gazetteers for Mystara that it didn't rank higher in setting material supplements (vs. modules).

@Jacob Lewis - sounds like BECMI all over again - which isn't a bad thing.

It was surprising difficult to find the Radiation rules in the old Gamma World game (2E, which uses modified D&D rules). This was the radiation exposure chart from that game: Intensity level was either a fixed number or randomly rolled on 3d4. Could change using the PC's CON score to...

Welcome to the forums! Sorry to dogpile, but as everyone has been saying eight is a lot of folks to start out with, and I would encourage splitting the group if you have the time to run two games. You can use plot to even encourage splitting up (half the group needs to go here, the other half...

I can see the appeal of a cheaper starter set, but I do remember using my old '81 Moldvay B/X set for years. While I'm not the audience for a starter set nowadays, I would to see the next generation get something they can keep and enjoy for years as well, rather than toss it out within a week...

Acrylic standees for the PCs would have been a great compromise between cardboard and plastic minis, I think.

I suppose the question is - what are you trying to fix? If I were to implement this, I'd be more inclined to go with Proficiency Bonus myself instead of Con Mod. It will slow recovery and still scale with level. It also keeps people from unduly seeking to puff up Constitution for accelerated...

Inspired by another thread. No set is ever perfect. If you had been in charge of the 2024 D&D Start Set (Heroes of the Borderlands), what would you have done differently? What would you keep?

Maybe it's the Mikey experience ("Mikey doesn't like anything - let's let him try it!") or the "He doth protest too much" feeling. A negative opinion without an associated attempt to try/learn about an item is something I expect most people will dismiss as obviously biased. I find people tend...

I suspect this was designed to appeal to both old hands and new. Specifically, to encourage the old hands to introduce new players to D&D. I've seen several comments about long-time players buying these boxes to onboard people they wanted to get into D&D, and I think that was something WotC...
