    D&D 5E (2024) How quickly should WOTC add new classes?

    I'm also on trim side. D&D have one or two too many classes, and the worst offender is the sorcerer. It's just wizard but worst, and WotC is struggling to find a niche to the sorcerer since they dropped strict Vancian casting. I add that limiting the number of classes improves the "mood" of the...

    Knave 2 from Ben of Questing Beast. Update: Backerkit store is open.

    300k in less than 24h is very promising! I bet it will reach 500k before Sunday

    D&D Movie/TV “Honor Among Thieves” Now Available for Purchase (iTunes + Amazon Prime)

    And if he is indeed Elmister (which I'm almost sure since he uses Elmister's sigil as his belt buckle), we move on the next question: is Elmister dead?

    D&D 5E (2024) Rest Variants (DMG pg. 267)

    I like to use Slow Healing EpiDefault: a short rest is 10 minutes, a long rest is 8 hours, restoring HP in a long rest requires to roll hit dice. Currently a long rest restore all hit dice in my system (you restore your HP, then you regain all hit dice), but with some playtest I'm considering...

    Your Pizza Order

    Ordered an "all'amatriciana" pizza yesterday: tomato sauce, pancetta, red onion, tomato confit, basil and grated grana padano cheese. If it had garlic it would be my new favourite pizza

    D&D General Having your players roll their stats

    Point buy if we're playing 5e campaigns, 4d6 drop lowest if playing 5e one shots, 3d6 down the line if we're playing B/X.

    Alchemy VTT kickstarter over 200,000 in first few hours.

    I wish it had 5e or OSE as options, I would back it instantly. Edit: It has a system agnostic option. Backed!

    D&D 5E (2014) When Did 5E Peak Quality Wise?

    I think Tasha's the peak, followed by a fast decline.

    D&D General Ben Riggs on how to make D&D a $1 billion brand

    This line of thinking can savage some of the worst books. Descent into Avernus, for example, is really bad as an adventure, but have a lot of amazing stuff that can be used to play a homebrew adventure. I played for months using the Baldur's Gate Gazetteer alone, it's on point on information...

    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I think the last PR situation was on brand with D&D. How many times your unaware NPC quest giver hired the party wanting private investigators and got instead barely legal behaviour and unnecessarily violent solutions?

    D&D General Best edition for DnD lore

    Speaking only about Forgotten Realms, 1e is the best edition if you want to start a campaign in a world filled with adventure opportunities and without a huge backlog of "things that happened ten years ago, so everyone would know, but it's nowhere in the books". 2e don't have as many plot hooks...

    Mando season 3

    I heard somewhere else someone suggest that "The Spies" could refer to the scout group who goes ahead to find the Forge first before the entire group lands, in the same sense it's used in "The Twelve Spies".

    Any Roman history nerds here?

    Fun fact, the Reconquista, the military campaigns the Iberic Christian kingdoms waged agains the al-Andalus used a similar tactic: to secure the frontiers they gave titles and lands on the borders of the kingdoms to accomplished military veterans. When the lands on the Iberic Peninsula were all...
