    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 2: Settings

    Doh! Frankly, I forgot about it. Sometimes its hard to keep track of how many different worlds there are. Well, 3E started with Greyhawk being the "core" world, so until they got to FR a little later it was a bit light. As I recall, when WotC went to 3.5E, they started to swing a lot more...

    D&D General Wild Shape: Inefficient or Useless?

    Wildshape is one of the most useful abilities in the whole game. As above, couple it with casting some spells before shifting and it can be especially potent. Couple it with Animal Friendship, Conjure Animals or doubling up with the spellcaster's familiar or the Ranger's animal companion and...

    D&D General Weapons should break left and right

    Sooo, a Warlock with Eldritch Blast?

    D&D General Weapons should break left and right

    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?

    Dungeons & Dragons to Release Lorwyn: First Light, a New Digital Expansion Based on Magic: The Gathering World

    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.

    D&D General Do you want a Ravenloft Duskmourn Domain of Dread

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

    D&D General Weapons should break left and right

    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.

    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 2: Settings

    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 -...

    D&D General Radiation & nuclear waste

    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...

    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 2: Settings

    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).

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 D&D Starter Set - Your turn to design

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

    D&D General Radiation & nuclear waste

    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...

    D&D General Advice for a new DM

    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...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 D&D Starter Set - Your turn to design

    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...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 D&D Starter Set - Your turn to design

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

    D&D 5E (2024) House Rule: Con mod HD Recovery instead of Full

    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...
