    D&D 5E (2024) Player's Handbook 2024 Table of Contents

    Not quite: it's the "Material Realms". These are the Material Plane (singular), Feywild, and Shadowfell. Correct. By the way, the Inner Planes do include the para-elemental planes. It also says the DMG will have more info on these and "other planes, like the Far Realm, Negative Plane, and...

    D&D 5E (2024) I just got a 2024 PHB From Gen Con. AMA!

    Instead of affecting a certain number of HP worth of creatures, Color Spray affects all creatures in the cone, but they get a Con save to avoid being blinded.

    Good alternatives to proper miniatures?

    You say that, but that's exactly how we got iconic D&D monsters like the Bulette, Rust Monster, Owl Bear, and Umber Hulk. Turns out they're knockoff Ultraman monsters!

    You know Aretha Franklin's signature song, "Respect"? It's a cover. The original recording is by Otis Redding.

    D&D General On Early D&D and Problematic Faves: How to Grapple with the Sins of the Past

    I don't deny that some people do get overzealous in going after people they view as having said something problematic, but there is a no less vociferous and even less open "How dare you call foo problematic!" in nearly every case. See, for example, the inciting incident of this thread: Jon...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Nobody is doing any of that. This isn't a competition to be the most offended or get on the highest horse. Nobody is shocked that sexism was to some degree more socially acceptable in the 1970s. This is a thread about a history book. The book reproduces historical documents, and it contains a...

    D&D General On Early D&D and Problematic Faves: How to Grapple with the Sins of the Past

    I would turn this around slightly: when writing a parody, you ought to keep Poe's Law in mind. It may be ambiguous at first, but by the end, you should make darn sure people know you aren't actually advocating for eating babies. You're probably right that achieving understanding by 100% of the...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Monk"

    My notes from the video: Monk and the ranger are "largely new classes". Lv 1 Martial Arts: Monk weapons are Simple Melee Weapons and Martial Melee Weapons with the Light property. Unarmed strike can be used as a bonus action, no longer tied to Attack action. Unarmed strike can do damage...

    D&D 5E (2024) Check Out The New Map Of D&D's Planes!

    Gods, Demi-gods, and Heroes contains nothing of particular relevance to your theory. The gods therein are not assigned alignments, except sometimes by implication: a few are noted to e.g., favor lawful characters, or, in the case of Mictantecuhtli, "Any person that worships this God is...

    D&D General Gnome Paladins

    Even The Complete Paladin's Handbook didn't allow non-human paladins, but it did allow them to be "demipaladins" (LG fighter/clerics who meet the ability score requirements for paladin and follow all of the paladin ethos rules can go on quests to earn a subset of the paladin special abilities.)...

    D&D 5E (2024) Check Out The New Map Of D&D's Planes!

    As much as I agree with you about the wonkiness of the Great Wheel and the fact that some of the planes feel like they're just there to check boxes without being differentiated enough, I think having no structure at all would be far worse.
