    D&D 5E (2024) Poll: How many species should OneD&D include in its PHB?

    13-15 sounds about right to me. That's enough to cover all the big concepts without overloading the PHB. My line up would be: Human - classic, has to be there Elf - classic, has to be there Dwarf - classic, has to be there Halfling - classic, has to be there Gnome - classic, has to be there...

    D&D 5E (2024) Pulse check on 1D&D excitement level

    None of the options in the poll describe me so I'll just post my thoughts instead. I'm not interested in actually playing 5E, or a moderately revised 5.5, but I still think most of the revisions are in the right direction. So I'm meh, or low, in the sense of actually playing it, but mostly...

    Beholders, Mind Flayers, and Strahd von Zarovich Released Into Creative Commons (Kinda)

    God I hope so. I've got every finger crossed with that one. Public domain has been pushed back way too far already.

    WotC Backs Down: Original OGL To Be Left Untouched; Whole 5E Rules Released as Creative Commons

    Holy crap, they actually caved. OGL 1.0a left intact and 5.1 SRD put under creative commons, which is not in Hasbro's control. This is probably the best possible outcome and I'm shocked it's apparently happening.

    Read the actual OGL document and take the survey when it comes out

    Yeah, that's the important part to emphasize. Go ahead and fill out the survey if you want, but don't let that be the only engagement you have on the matter. It's very questionable whether Wizards actually care about the survey, so let them hear your dissatisfaction in as many different places...

    Posting these from the main thread because they seem very relevant to the discussion. Credit to MockingBird for bringing this to our attention. an excerpt from the video.

    D&D 5E (2014) Disney builds

    Recreating a character isn't something I do myself, but I do enjoy seeing other people theorycraft them. There's one guy on Youtube I sometimes watch that does this, I figure I'd share his video on Elsa. It's a very interesting build that I don't think many would actually play, but it's very...

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    I sometimes wish that FF6 got the same love and attention that 7 gets. Then I think about how much they've ridden that horse into the ground and go back to being happy that 6 remains relatively untouched. No extremely unnecessary expansions to the story that just dilutes what that game...

    D&D 5E (2024) How should multiclassing be implemented for ODnD?

    While I do have some criticisms for this idea, it does improve the even split multi without needing any additional design work. So on a work vs. result basis, it's a solid idea. My largest problem with the idea is that it wouldn't fix the big underlining issue with 5.0's multi-classing. That...

    D&D 5E (2024) How should multiclassing be implemented for ODnD?

    This comes down to the inherent strengths and weaknesses of class based systems vs. a classless one. A classless system has unmatched ability to express the most character concepts, while the class based one makes it easier for new players by constraining choice down to the bare essentials and...

    D&D General One Piece of Art IX (Wildcard)- What NON-D&D Art Inspired You to Love D&D?

    Now you got me thinking about video games influence on me. There are so many to chose from, but for inspiring the spirit of adventure nothing beats the Legend of Zelda. The First game in the series I played was A Link to the Past. My love of exploration probably started here. Exploring every...

    D&D 5E (2024) How should multiclassing be implemented for ODnD?

    It would definitely not be an easy task, but the concept of a half-class is pretty straight forward. Like I said it would just need a decent amount of playtesting to get it right. You'd have to go through each class abilities one by one and figure out if they need to be delayed, limited...

    D&D 5E (2024) How should multiclassing be implemented for ODnD?

    This kind of came up in another thread, I'll repost some of my thoughts. I really liked how it worked in 4th, so adapting those concepts to 5th is a good place to start. First how it works in 4e: The first option is feat multi-classing. Using this method you pick a class as normal and then...

    D&D General One Piece of Art IX (Wildcard)- What NON-D&D Art Inspired You to Love D&D?

    I'm not familiar with this particular picture, but I'm guessing that's Smaug? That's a good pick. The Hobbit was the first fantasy anything I can remember interacting with. I think I was in the 4th or 5th grade? It was a long time ago, my memory is really hazy. The Hobbit definately had a...

    D&D General One Piece of Art IX (Wildcard)- What NON-D&D Art Inspired You to Love D&D?

    I still haven't gotten to actually play yet, but when I think about playing this painting is what always comes to mind. A Bad Roll by Kadrion on Furaffinity I love the mixing of the game and the fictional universe in it, and the atmosphere of fun and comradery at the table is how I hope my...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC is right to avoid the word "edition."

    Yeah, people who dislike the 3rd and 5th edition style multiclassing should probably take a second look at 4th's implementations. 4th's multiclassing options protect niches really well and make more balanced and useful multi-class characters on average. The first option is feat multi-classing...
