Things do generally get more complex, but 5th edition was a much needed culling of that complexity. 5th edition is much simpler than 3rd edition. I can't speak to 4th edition.

I am very fond of a mixed level party. It is one of the things I like about Adventurers League.

The Crimson Oubliette. This is an unique dungeon set in vast pit filled to the brim with caustic ooze. It can be played in two hours easily. I always have it in my back pocket ready to go. Warlock’s Apprentice: The Crimson Oubliette - Kobold Press Warlock’s Apprentice: The Crimson Oubliette

As the Dungeon Master I like to sit on the long side of the table. I'm sure this table is configurable for such a thing.

My influence before Dungeons and Dragons was definitely Conan the Barbarian (Robert Jordan, et al.) I still haven't finished the Lord of the Rings, and it's Treebeard's fault. I don't like Tolkien's outsized influence on Dungeons and Dragons and, through D&D, upon the whole fantasy world.

The Prince of Darkness died today.

Malocchio was my warlock character for the Curse of Strahd campaign. The warlock class drives characters toward high charisma, and this did not fit the character who was a mumbling idiot mentally scarred by what he had witnessed. So, I split the characters abilities into three different...

When did dragons acquire the four legs and two wings depiction? At least for the Dungeons and Dragons boffery. This may have occured rather recently. I usually defer to Saint George when I imagine dragons...but in art the dragon has however many legs the artist thought to give it. Four, two...

I think most tables do not have discussions like this. They don't analyze the existence of mudmen societies in the world in order to justify their presence in an encounter.* I for one like to allow for mystery and the unknown within the game, so I don't question this stuff. If, as the Dungeon...

That's a good point. Now it sounds pretty cool to have four arms. The upper two can be wielding two-handed ax but the lower two could be wielding a one-handed sword and a shield. That way you can choose each round what your attack will be and whether you have plus two bonus from your shield or...

My fellow Player's Character was transformed into a narloth once. But his extra arms just hung by his sides uselessly.

Oh, well that explains it.

Sorry Elmo, I'm a biologist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_spur I was very alarmed by draconic hexapod anatomy when I was young. I felt like I felt the day I first heard about Microraptor the four-winged dinosaur. I felt much better when I learned that it wasn't a hexapod. But...

How about this? they have two tiny vestigial legs on either side of their genitals that are only used during mating.

Agreed! There are some things we should just not mess with. Player's Characters should... ... not have flying wings. ... not be larger than medium. ... not have more than two functional arms. ... require air, food, water, and sleep.* ... not be dead. ... not have darkvision.* Learn from...

How many stars are possible?

4.5?

That is not a reference to Honor Among Thieves.

Occam's beard is growing pretty long these days.

Of course she's a big fan. She just took a job with them. Yeah, that's why Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins "changed positions" to another company after 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons, and then again after 5th edition.
