    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Wow. Someone's really having a tantrum.

    D&D General Species of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Here's what the four suggestions are in more detail: I, for one, am perfectly fine with all that.

    D&D General Species of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Tone down the hyperbole a notch maybe? Look, I feel similarly about the certain visual aspects of this new book, but I wouldn't say that particular line flies in the face of established lore. I mean, how can your #1 be true if your #2 is also true? That doesn't make sense. "Dragonmarks run...

    D&D General Species of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Here's how they're handling creatures of atypical species having dragonmarks: Centuries of manipulation and consolidation have caused the established dragonmarks to manifest primarily in members of certain family lines. However, exceptions have always existed, and they’ve grown increasingly...

    D&D 5E (2024) So the Armorer still need be Wearing before Don his armor.

    I think the only benefit that really needs to be "while wearing the armor only" is the spellcasting focus one. You shouldn't be able to use your armor as a focus if it's sitting in a heap out of reach. Also, the "no Strength requirement" benefit only comes into play while you're wearing it. It's...

    D&D 5E (2024) So the Armorer still need be Wearing before Don his armor.

    The silliness derives from the mechanic's wording, which states that Quick Don and Doff is a benefit you gain "while wearing your Arcane Armor." With a very literal reading, it's logical to conclude that the feature doesn't work as written because you can't put on armor you're already wearing...

    D&D 5E (2024) What's New with the Artificer in Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    You don't get it for free as a Master tier subscriber. Despite what it says on DDB, I suspect if you were to purchase it now, you would get immediate access to it. I preordered it (months and months ago) and can now read it.

    D&D General Species of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Forge of the Artificer is presented as a supplement to Rising from the Last War. As such, it doesn't appear to touch on Eberron's cosmology beyond the Level 13 Manifest Zone bastion facility, which provides a different charm depending on which plane the zone is linked to. EDIT: That is, it...

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December

    I skipped over 4e Eberron. The only 4e era Eberron adventure I know of is one set in the Mournland. You might be right, though!

    D&D 5E (2024) Eberron: Fated Flight of the Recluse *possible spoilers*

    Yeah, I read that and I was like ... what?! I mean, judging by the Eberron Interactive Map, the distance of 960 miles is more or less correct. 940 miles is probably more accurate, but still ... The Recluse is a Strider Airship, for which Forge of the Artificer gives a speed of 8 mph. Under the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Eberron: Fated Flight of the Recluse *possible spoilers*

    Back when WotC announced they would be delaying the release of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer, they told those of us who had preordered the digital version on DDB that we would get a free adventure in apology for the delay. The main book is now available for Master Tier subscribers on DDB, and...

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December

    3rd edition? Some of their 3.5e softcover adventures take place elsewhere (although they generally still begin in Sharn). As far as I can tell, Fated Flight of the Recluse doesn't go anywhere near Sharn. It takes place on the diagonally opposite side of the continent! EDIT: I have to say...

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December

    On the plus side, this one is not set in Sharn! It involves the PCs escorting a Clan Soldorak dwarf on a journey from the Mror Holds to Korth.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December

    The free "we're sorry for the delay" adventure is now available on DDB as well. It's called "Fated Flight of the Recluse" and is for 3rd-level PCs. Looks like an adventure involving an airship.

    D&D General Red Wavy Lines

    I've not been involved with the actual Adventurers' League myself, but I have played and run many of the DDAL modules (including all of Season 1) privately. There are some real gems in the collection, but the lack of basic editing / proofreading is noticeable even with those. They only cost a...

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December

    Have just had a quick look through on DDB. Bouncing off the art and graphic design pretty hard, so I'm hoping the actual content is good. All those black-and-white illustrations and chapter headings might look good in the physical book, but they don't look good on DDB. I also don't like some of...

    D&D General Red Wavy Lines

    It's an Adventurers' League module. This kind of discrepancy is par for the course. Are you color-blind by any chance? The wavy lines look pinkish-red to me, while the numbers are closer to orange.

    D&D 5E (2024) So the Armorer still need be Wearing before Don his armor.

    Yeah, this. Specifically later Iron Man suits that expand/contract. I think you could make the case that you're still "wearing" the armor even when it's doffed - as in, it's still on your person somewhere, even if it's all shrunk down into a tight little package. LOL. I did that once ... in the...

    D&D General Red Wavy Lines

    I mean, this is an Adventurers' League module we're talking about here. Shoestring budget. Smell of an oily rag. That sort of thing.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Honestly, I’d pick Songbirds and Snakes over The Phantom Menace any day. Lucy Gray is an interesting character, and Sunrise on the Reaping more or less confirms that she’s Katniss’ relative, which adds a whole new dimension to why Snow hates her so much. Sunrise on the Reaping is a quick read...
