    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    Another thing that annoys me about 24 backgrounds is how much they are framed as DM tools for world building and not PC tools for character building. Even when it talks about meeting a player's concept of their character it is framed as an optional DM thing to do. From the 24 SRD in the DM...

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    It helps but I'd say it was addressed better with Tasha's. :) A number of games are PH only for options, and it will not help those who play in such games. Adding in stuff in specific settings adds stuff for those using those settings or for those DMs willing to allow use of stuff from there.

    D&D Stranger Things Gets a Sequel – Welcome to the Hellfire Club

    I had missed that if it was in the last season. Cute.

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    I think it is more about balance of options versus deliberately making certain specific concepts work well or poorly for specific archetypes. Should there be specific ones that synergize well mechanically (3e half orc barbarian with bonus strength) and ones that are mechanically detrimented (3e...

    D&D General List good 3e adventures for a starting Forgotten Realms campaign?

    I really enjoy about half of the 2e Ravenloft modules. About half are terrible with things like railroads designed for one shots with cheap shocks (The PC dies off screen to be replaced with a doppelganger or they inescapably lose their body and are stuck in a different one) or completely off...

    D&D General List good 3e adventures for a starting Forgotten Realms campaign?

    There is not a lot of full on print 3e FR modules, they did more sourcebook type things than modules in 3e. You mentioned the big three hardcover trilogy adventures and Sons of Gruumsh has already been mentioned. City of the Spider Queen takes characters from 10-18 or so. The Twilight Tomb is a...

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    I can only say I preferred the removal of ASI from species in Tashas and I complain about background-tied ASIs in 24.

    D&D General How often do you use or encounter Dungeons and/or Dragons in your games?

    Dragons I often find hard to conceptualize how they actually fit into most D&D worlds on a species level since they can be so long lived, so powerful, and often so smart (not to mention so varied in type). A bunch of worlds have separate dragon lands where they rule, Eberron, Council of Wyrms...

    D&D General How often do you use or encounter Dungeons and/or Dragons in your games?

    Dungeons of one sort or another are pretty frequent in my campaigns. Dragons are more rare, sometimes one to a couple in a campaign. Sometimes dragons are something small like a Tatzylwyrm fought at low level like any other ambush predator animal, sometimes they are background or setting...

    GURPS settings appreciation thread

    I really like Fantasy II for GURPS 3e. Very unique. PCs are a type of indigenous culture caught in a nightmare land. Once human monsters who are defined by how they are warped, the headless, the heightless, the skinless, etc. are all fairly horrific. There is a decadent super mage culture...

    D&D General Orcs are misplaced

    Orc have gone around in their identity a lot. In OD&D they were Neutral and Chaotic. In AD&D they were LE. In Basic they were Chaotic. In 3-5e they were Chaotic Evil. In the 1e MM they were very pig faced, in Jim Holloway 1e and 2e art they were not. In 2e they got another new look in art. In...
