@Umbran The art really does look like Harris though. I don't think it's political to notice that?

Glad your table is having fun with this. I'd recommend not using Critical Success/Fumble tables with skill rolls. That's one of the most baffling inclusions in A5E. I take it you've only got one session in the can so far, so I'm interested in seeing how it progresses. Is Player C using the 5E...

Not to mention some Combat Traditions are heavy on reaction maneuvers and if anything could use more ways of getting extra reactions.

Strongly depends on the caster.

Pulling has been dead for almost 30 years, stop living in the past.

My limited experience with Fantasy Grounds was not positive (the program felt obtuse and the o5E game we used it for ended with a TPK at level 1) so I can't speak to how well it works with A5E compared to other VTTs. But in general previously mentioned ideas are solid. Eliminating dice...

Honestly moving the game to Foundry might be helpful? It has expertise dice built into the system and the system download comes with a huge chunk of what's on A5E tools and also a bunch of 3PP stuff built in.

Yuan-Ti have always been specifically called out as Product Identity under the OGL and don't appear in the 5E SRD. Of course, WOTC doesn't own the idea of serpentfolk so you can have snake people and just call them anything you wish.

The best thing about the 2025 Monster Manual from a gameplay standpoint is that some of the new and revised monsters are legitimately cool. The Archhag, the Blob of Annihlation, the Haunting Revenant. I'm hit or miss on some of the redesigns. The Arcanaloth's entire damage budget is in a basic...

Ten years!? Damn. Congrats.

Oh, that's good at least. But, haha, I was always getting the PDF regardless. No way I can afford to drop $60 to $100 on a POD.

Well, thanks regardless. I'm sorry that clashing egos have resulted in so much frustration for everyone involved but I suppose that's the danger of big collaborations like this.

Question, If I purchase the currently-available version, are the older versions available for download?

I've not used home field advantage but Monster Manual Expanded series is just more monsters, it's not a replacement for the Monster Manual.

I think there's two different factors here. On the one hand, yes, Chris Cocks wants to integrate GenAI into D&D somehow so that he can either charge people for a service or pay fewer people to make stuff, perhaps both. On the other hand, he is clearly spewing nonsense about how he runs his...

Chris Cocks sure is living up to his surname, huh?

To be fair it seems that what a pit fiend looks like has been radically different every edition. Honestly I'm pretty partial to the one in the Tales of the Valiant Monster Vault though I don't have a link for it handy.

Oddly the pit fiend in the book doesn't use that style.

Really like the Balor and the Goblinoids.

The image of the Tarrasque in the Monster Manual (2025) would indicate that it would be impossible to even attack the Tarrasque with a melee weapon unless you were basically in one of the squares it occupies. The reason it's reach isn't longer is that it would basically have to double over like...
