    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Commander is very popular, but "kitchen table" Magic is still going yo be the dominant format. Most Msgic players have never drafted, played Conmander, or done anything else in a formal setting line FNM.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Secret Lair now, and a full Kpop set in a few years

    D&D 5E (2024) Orc lore in the new Forgotten Realms books?

    I mean, it's right there in the MM.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    You know what, I was curious about this, and was fairly surprised as a casual not-plugged in very occasional Magic player...but Magic is actually not a tern oriented game like D&D. With D&D, the average players are Teens, from middle school to college, and then it tapers off. But for Magic, the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Orc lore in the new Forgotten Realms books?

    Nope, by the 2014 PHB and MM Lore the other half was not always Human, but that didn't have any mechanical representation.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Are you certain that was a D&D boxed set? A quick search indicates there was an early leak for the card boxed set (because there is alwaya a big card box set for these tnings), but nothing about a D&D boxed set.

    Oh, interesting, I had not clocked that at all.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Yeah, I don't know if tha tiantrue. WotC made vague indications something D&D was coming with Lorwyn in February or Marxh, and we made all kinds of assumptions based on prior releases. But previous result are not necessarily indicative of future performance, and all that. Not sure theybevwe did...

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

    I see no particular reason that has to be true in terms of game mechanics.

    First Episode of The Mighty Nein Available Now on YouTube

    Watched the second and third episodes last night. Really love how theybare building out the context for these characters and weaving a coherent narrative olwurh excellent foreshadowing (that was obviously not possible in the improvisation of the game)

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

    I'm not sure how to process the proposal of an accurate blending of a Demon of the Abyss with an Elf.

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

    Planar stuff > biology. They would have their Dwarven or Elven culture and other background stuff, but they would be Tieflings. It doesn't need mechanics...though I do think Heritage Backgroundss with requisite Feats could help here.

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

    I don't really see mechanical representation beyond what is in the PHB as necessary.

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    Brotherwise and Drafonsteel have put together a formal axtual play one-shot with a bunch of actors types, "Echoes of the Gatjer". Haven't had the opportunity to check it out, but here it is:

    D&D 5E (2024) Orc lore in the new Forgotten Realms books?

    I think Wotc really missed an opportunity by not having some form of formalized hybrid character rules in 2024 that would work for diverse combos without the weirdness of "half"-races

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

    I mean, they already are that in Monsters of the Multiverse and the new PHB: Genasi, Aasamir and Tiwflongs can be wither Small or Medium and are specifically described as coming from any other Species and depicted in the art diversely (there is an Aasamir in the PHB who is clearly from a Dwarven...

    D&D General XP: How Do You Like To Earn It?

    What we did back in the primeval days of 3.x were XP boosts for plot events, but these days it is just "Everyoke Level up for the next session!"

    Like if The Pinkertons and the Teutonkc Knights had a baby.
