    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Well, that is a matter of public record, that was actually one of the rules of the Setting contest: each entry had to include everything in 3.5 explicitly. So for Eberron, it's assumptions are built around stuff like 3.5 magic item rules. Still works in 5E fine.

    No, but they are explicitly uncommon: but they are present.

    Shawn Levy Provides Update on Netflix D&D Show

    Not necessarily: Netflix tried to sell the Tolkien estate on doing an MCU style approach to Lord of the Rings shows, like "Young aragorn" and "Cozy Hobbit Regency Shenanigans" that all tie together over multiple seasons of multiple shows (Dimon Tolkien preferred the ToP pitch, because it was do...

    Shawn Levy Provides Update on Netflix D&D Show

    Honestly, the intense popularity of BG3 is a great argument for the approach Levy and company are taking: nobody had heard of any of those major characters 6 years ago, Larien wrote them all from scratch.

    Still, all the convention Battle of Emidry Meadows appearances, and the DMG actually recommending using Temple of Elemental Evil in the Greyhawk section...woukdsurprise me if that came long soon.

    D&D 5E (2024) PAX WotC Dungeons and Dragons speculation thread.

    @darjr I haven't found anything about a WotC presentation at PAX Unplugged this weekend, and their social media posts recently seem like innocuous ads for either the FR books or Tasha's Cauldron. Have you heard or seen anything in particular, and what is your take on the WF image? I know that WF...

    They announced Vecna and Quests from the Infinite Staircase at Pax in December 2023, along wifh some core book previews. So it has precedent.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Nexus at Demiplane with WotC core books.

    Which would fit for the service becoming untenable as service wound down.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Nexus at Demiplane with WotC core books.

    That juat means somebody did not like or enjoy Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, or simply nostalgiac for the pre-COVID world.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Nexus at Demiplane with WotC core books.

    I bounced off of 4E pretty hard personally, but it is quite clear that most other companies would kill for 4E levels of engagement in 2019...fully 7 years after the line ended.

    First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

    Yeah, they are adding in a ton to provide framing and context. In the actual campaign, each player had built an elaborate backsfory and there was an elaborate game of "backstory reveal chicken" where eberyody wanted to be the last one who revealed their dramatic secrets. This is rolling out the...
