I think it's a meaningful issue, and when I DM I've tried to address it through setting choices if the players are wanting to run a lot of different species. If you're running a Planescape campaign based on Sigil, nobody will blink twice that the party is composed of a radical array of species...

I don't think the Control spells are ruining the game, primarily because I don't think most players focus on them as much as they could to have that sort of impact on the game. Yes, it's technically more optimal if you crunch the numbers involved with the impact on combat in, for example, the...

That's some excellent art. Love it. That the new Eberron books?

It's unfortunate WOTC reclassified their 2024 books as Toys and Games, rather than Books, as we will now never get bookscan data from most of their sales for 2024 books. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, Walmart, they're all not reporting data to bookscan for 2024, though they did for 2014, due...

Agree completely. EB is the "I hit it with my sword" option. It's fine, but uninteresting and isn't likely to change the dynamic of the battle or do much to combine with what the other PCs are doing.

His view is not well shared. People who review D&D for a living in general disagree with his view. D&D designers tend to disagree with his view. Most hardcore players disagree with his view. That doesn't mean he's necessarily wrong, but his view is not well shared is my point. Most people think...

I don't think this is related but did see this a few days ago

Ptolus was great. I'd love a 5.5e version of that setting.

I agree. That, or develop something in Greyhawk. Their introduction to Greyhawk in the DMG is pretty darn good. Develop one of those nations.

We are in session 6 of an ankheg mini adventure, and they're terrifying, complex and tough. Their acid spray is really nasty for a CR 2 creature, making AC useless against the spray. The burrowing usually leads to us being surprised. The tremorsense makes a lot of PC abilities nullified or a...

D4 Deep Dive had a good Paladin dual-wielding hand crossbow build today (The Sheriff / Bowslinger). Seemed pretty good. Very cowboy themed. Apparently he's never heard of the show Have Gun Will Travel though, or likely would have referenced that Paladin character.

Those are pretty cool

Castle Amber. I'd enjoy that. I do want a good series of planar adventures which takes you to different planes.

Honestly they already did a great Isle of Dread with Tomb of Annihilation. Which is a better version of Isle of Dread than the original. Yeah I agree this is a good one. Have we had a good Underdark adventure for 5e? Was that Out of the Abyss (which I missed)? [Edit - yes, it seems it is. Too...

I don't kid - I think they are going there.

No, it's not. Those Hong Kong films were very popular here. It's not racist and colonial to bring them to a class themed on those movies. It's respectful and directly in line with the theme of what those movies did with those themes to bring them to the class. What is disrespectful is an...

I know you've said that repeatedly, but that's not quite correct. It includes some Amazon, but not 100%. It appears WOTC intentionally submitted the 2024 books in the "Toys and Games" category (or something similar) instead of the "Book" category for rankings, to match up with the broader Magic...

I mean, people hate it so much it became the standard for almost everything and almost nobody complains about it or even notices it anymore. After countless years of it's use, I've never seen them once rip anyone's intellectual property off. It's there for the opposite - to prevent people from...

That part is from a Chinese language film in the 1970s. Again, not colonial, or racist. You can not like it of course, but you seem to think this is some western mockery of the ancient tradition when it's not. So blame Yuen Woo-ping and Ng See-yuen. You calling them racist or colonizers?
