I am always fooling around with a competitive D&D concept I call "DungeonBall" and one of the things I have considered a couple times in the process is second by second initiative. One square at a time. If you attack, it costs seconds. If you cast, you have to wait seconds. Like that. It is...

Here is a link: The Inside Story of the Making of Warcraft, Part 1 - Kotaku Tl;dr version is that they wanted to get the license, could not secure it, and were better off for it.

There were, they were just GM facing procedures usually tied to some d6 roll or another. It is unsurprising that GMs just started winging it.

There is a lot of red string in this post.

So we can blame Lucas for playable gnomes?

Only time will tell. I do think there will be a X&T replacement sooner rather than later.

Dragonborn are not draconians. Like, not even a little.

I would be very surprised if we do not see updated reprints of most of the catalogue if 5E 2024 remains the current edition for another decade.

What is the one legged orc race called?

New Heroes show up. Suspicious....

Is Daggerheart too bespoke in its class design? That is, would DH work "better" if it was more generic and embraced the domains more as mix-and-match talent trees? I am just thinking about different campaign frame and how ultimately you have to either create new classes or bend the frame to...

1983. Sure, Gammorians are in there somewhere. I find it interesting that for the Lord of the Rings movies, Jackson went with a very traditional goblin look for Moria orcs, but not the "D&D orc" for the rest.

You are talking about a core mechanic. Not quite the same thing, as @dbm articulated.

But they don't. Convincing s shop keeper and disarming a trap maybe, but combat does not look like that. You can't make a skill check to defeat the goblin.

The Astral Plane is the Worst Plane. I treat it like space, except you can breath. You need a ship, or a dreadnaut to ride. I really dislike the whole psychadelic Dr. Strange astral plane thing and lean much more toward the Astral Sea and you navigate it like using spelljammers.

It is my recollection that the looks of Warcraft orcs was a pretty distinct evolution of the Warhammer orc rather than the D&D one. If you look at the FR novel covers of the same time, the D&D orc or goblin does not really look like the Warcraft equivalent. There is, of course, a reciprocal...

I have not experienced what your table seems to have trouble with. I don't find the different categories of actions to be difficult for folks to grasp. But counting them is a pain, especially when what you are counting changes over time or between classes. This is true, and granular can be...

Wasteland is not Fallout.

I don't know. i think 5.5 which will eventually ask you to buy everything again is more of a cash grab.

Were industrious gnomes first popularized in Dragonlance? I don't even know. Did WoW take them from D&D?
