    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Giving Away Acquisitions Inc and Phandelver For Free!

    Unrelated to any issues present on the web version, is anyone having trouble accessing these products on the app? They don't show up at all, marketplace or library, at least on my end (admittedly I'm using an Amazon Fire that I forcibly downloaded Google Play onto, but it still keeps things...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Cartoon Character Miniatures Are Coming!

    If you wanna get technical, Presto's hat is more akin to a regular material component pouch these days, so that spell he's casting just might not have a material to go along with it. The magic item component really only makes it a better Hat of Wizardry, which I'm sure he wouldn't need if he...

    D&D General Check Out This Demogorgon Mini!

    Well duh, but the finished one is still guaranteed to look better than the Lootcrate Demogorgon. Say what you will about the 25 and 50mm minis they make, but WizKids usually delivers with the 75mm+ ones in terms of quality.

    D&D General Check Out This Demogorgon Mini!

    I'm surprised that there's only been one mention of the Lootcrate exclusive Demogorgon (and that it's the post above mine!). Legitimately the last time Lootcrate was ever able to deliver on its promises, and even then only half-heartedly, and it's a pretty specimen. Admittedly it doesn't have...

    Does TSR3 Have Nazi Connections?

    I see I'm just a liiiittle too late for the violent vs. nonviolent response conversation, so I'll just say this; The reason violent protest is "less" effective is, while not baseless, also not the entire truth. A truly evil force would always build up the notion that nonviolent protest is the...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Will Delist Two Books On May 17th

    Just to be clear; I could not care less if they take the lore out back and send it the way of Ol Yeller. I wholeheartedly support efforts to strip the oftentimes harmful presuppositions from individual races as a tool of agency with regards to making each fantasy world meaningfully distinct in...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Will Delist Two Books On May 17th

    That's especially bizarre because Volo's has content that doesn't show back up in Monsters of the Multiverse. What are they gonna do with all of those orcs they didn't bring over?

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    Because they just put out a UA that more or less gave them that as a feature and apparently enough people hated it that they decided to gib it entirely in this release.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    They already got rid of that is the issue. They had a perfectly playable race that wasn't even problematic in any of those ways, that just had the ability to borrow things from hammerspace a few times a day. They just made it completely vanilla and meaninglessly unique for basically no reason, I...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    God, that's so smart. I'm just gonna rip those background pages out and re-bind the book with a homebrew renown chart for each order. I don't know how I didn't think of that, especially as someone who shills hard for Ravnica and Theros.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    The amount of knowledge I have on Dragonlance could fill a thimble, but didn't Raistlin bounce around robe colors on occasion? I'd argue that someone who can turn one way and then redeem themselves another fits the mold of "good black robe and evil white robe". I have no strong feelings of...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    That breaks my heart in two. I've never hated a UA feature more than that Moon Sorcerer. The tables were too thick, the paragraphs were overwhelmingly populous, it was a nightmare before they even added formatting and visual polish to it! And that poor pre-revision Kender, I don't know how...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Heroes of Krynn Revisited

    Still not a big fan of free feats from backgrounds, for the simple reason that most of the feats they offer here are incredibly bloated with little benefits all over. I'm also surprised that it seems they took incredibly little input from the survey, besides the Kender being fey-adjacent (but...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE is coming this year!

    I would like to think that these people knew what they were getting themselves into when they sold their rights. Besides, Ed is incredibly laissez-faire with the Realms, otherwise he probably would've piped up 8 years ago when they decided to make his world the main setting for the game to be...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE is coming this year!

    In prior D&D crossovers, Planeswalkers are just used to signify particular creatures or characters of note that have the ability to transcned their plane or whose reach extends well beyond their home plane (such as Mordenkainen, Bahamut, Lolth, and Zariel). It's a much lower bar to clear than...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE is coming this year!

    In anime that's called an isekai, they're very popular. I prefer the faux-intellectual ones where people just stand around and muse on the blurring of reality and fantasy using the game as digital escapist medium (like .hack). Most of the other ones out there either lean into the concept without...

    Dragonlance DRAGONLANCE is coming this year!

    Demonstrably false. They just released an art deco 1920's mafia set, and I have such a mighty need for it to be turned into a D&D book.

    WotC WotC to power other IPs with D&D and M:TG

    That won't be an issue, the Power Rangers one in particular was incredibly rough and didn't read well. I hear the G.I. Joe one fares a bit better, but the PR one didn't even have stats for NPCs! Plus it only really covered the first few seasons lore-wise, which isn't surprising since those are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragons of Stormwreck Isle: New D&D Starter Set Is Coming This Year

    I'm the only person at the table who's done it twice, and I did it on opposite sides of the screen both times. Everyone else had a single go-around. This is purely from the standpoint of people who played through it once, and thus far are enjoying our romp through the area with a fresh set of...
