    D&D 5E (2014) Good Path for a Shadar-Kai Barbarian?

    D&D General WotC: Novels & Non-5E Lore Are Officially Not Canon

    The fact that this seems to be the approach they've been taking is why I find the reaction to be so over-the-top. They've already been treating new books coming out as mostly self-contained, with references to older material people might recognize but aren't required to know to run an adventure...

    D&D 5E (2014) What of the already done settings do you think WotC is revisiting for a Setting Book?

    Of the options I think revisiting the Realms for a different region setting books seems the most plausible. I think Exandria has a chance at a second book, but not until the third campaign is underway. However, I think the fact that Greyhawk got an adventure, but not a setting book is why it...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Merged] Candlekeep Mysteries Author Speaks Out On WotC's Cuts To Adventure

    Are people responding like this not bothering to read Panzer's blog post where he explains the process from his perspective? The first paragraph is: He's not complaining that they edited his draft. His concern is that he feels WOTC made fundamental changes to the concept after they accepted...

    Looking for a Sci-Fi RPG

    The Ashen Stars book using the Gumshoe system might be worth looking at. Characters have roles for both ship-based encounters and ground adventures that can be more or less independent. Settingwise it's a bit different but could be adapted to your scenario pretty easily - basically it assumes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Terrain Toolbox comes to 5e
