    Penguin Random House Announces New D&D Romantasy Book

    I've been using it my whole life, mate. "Yeah, them" is like. A common phrase to clarify that's someone you're talking about, regardless of gender Mate. Luis. This is so irrelevant to romantasy I got to wonder why you're bringing these up. Literately never heard of any of them. Regardless...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    I'm talking a post event thing. 'Lizardmen' can be substituted for any non 'four humans, elves, dwarves and gnomes' race that the party helps out. You're not asking beforehand, you've done something to help them out in-game previously. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that one player's...

    Of course I'm aware of the difference. However, you're in an RPG. You're able to, you know, influence the world and get other options to become playable.

    Its hardly the player defining the world if its something that's already happened in game. If your adventures help lizardfolk, which is one of the most stock D&D plotlines to the point they invented Lizard Kings in previous editions to serve purely for that plotline, and it even shows up in...

    I mean, we brought up a suggestion up thread. Let's say, a common, neutral Dungeons and Dragons species that's been playable a long time, such as lizardfolk, is helped out by the party, and this then inspiring them and being able to be used as a backstory in a following campaign, or if one of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Also from memory, while there were rules for becoming a Dragon in Dark Sun.... You weren't realistically going to use them. To say they're player unfriendly is a bit of an understatement. Mind, 'rules that were meant to be read rather than played' was the flavour at the time (hi white wolf)

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Based on the novels, Dark Sun absolutely wants you making heroic characters fighting up against the oppression in the world, toppling the Sorcerer Kings, and making a better world That's a lot of the base Dark Sun stuff

    I am talking about the third group of aquatic elves under the ocean. I get they're an obscure bunch, but I am not talking about some random surface elf I had to go and look up the Dragonlance wiki which, is not a good wiki for this one. They're called the Mahkwahb. They're not the Dargonesti...

    The second one is confirming it. It all has a place in Eberron. There's entire sections of the later Monster Manuals detailing how to put things in there Also like. The idea of excluding goblins or hobgoblins from an Eberron game because their stats were in another book, given the importance of...

    Then why are you running Eberron, the setting that, as written in 3.5e, I could have a party made up of a Desmodu, a Dromite, a Duergar, a Domovoi and a Dracotaur, calling ourselves the D Squad? That is rules as intended for Eberron allow everything, and no race currently in 5E has problems...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    Eberron allows everything from base D&D. If they picked random crap, its because.... Its there in Eberron. Like, the older Eberron book is pretty comprehensive, sure, but the new one doesn't include goblins which are Very Important to Eberron. Heck, there's a reason that semi-official Eberron...

    Canon's canon. If Transformers can use a random occurrence of a blatantly Autobot character showing up as a jet for a Decepticon to later tie into that character having an inferiority complex and later trying to redeem himself for past actions such as joining the Decepticons, then I can easily...

    The abyss elves who want to flood the surface world or whatever? My Dragonlance knowledge is weak outside of 'huh i can use this to justify lead dragons existing' so I may not know the specifics, but if someone's wanting a drow its at least something to gnaw on as an alternative Was posted...

    I mean, there was a half orc in at least one officially published Dragonlance work, and aren't that random third group of aquatic elves basically flat out called dark elves at points? You've certainly got options therein

    See, I think you're coming at this the wrong way because I reckon people would compromise on that. You just haven't even budged an inch at your side though If you told them "Yeah we don't have Tortles and their whole 'you die if you mate so all of them are inevitable orphans' but we do have...

    It fine, it happens I also accept "the crazy dinosaur guy you do not want to put dinosaurs in the jungle with because he will tear apart the ecological implications of them living there" or "the crazy pterosaur guy who will argue pterosaur biomechanics with you if you dare to have a pteranodon...

    That was a Hollyphant. They're long-standing creature, they've been in every edition but 4E. Another Monster Manual 2 lineage I stick by that. If you tell me half orcs are available but not orcs, I'm firstly going to check if I time travelled back in time, and secondly, not join your game...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    No? Genuinely like, around the net, 4E Dark Sun was pretty well received, especially over Prism Pentad stuff, meanwhile I hear basically nothing about the 3E attempts
