I never said ALL viewers - you're taking my statement out of context. The viewer (singular) was not a typo for viewers (plural). I'm saying once you DO notice it, it'll take you out of immersion.

There are some questionable direction decisions that kind of take the viewer out of immersion. One example is when a soldier flies backwards from an impact that should have made them fall downwards instead of sideways. Another example is when somebody shows up by essentially teleporting a...

This brings to mind a possible tactic for an enemy of the PCs if they have been observed using Tiny Hut a lot --- poisoning the food they eat somehow. Sets the PCs ripe for an ambush if their bowel movements have been compromised by a powerful laxative. Oooooooohhh my.

Here's a scenario for thought consumption. Leomund's Tiny Hut has been cast, and the party decides to take a rest from adventuring in it. The party has entered a dangerous area filled with all sorts of wandering monsters and unseen hazards, but they are safe as long as they stay inside. Just...

My prediction for the not-so-far future related to this UA: Draconomicon as a hardcover book. Dragonlance as a DMsGuild PDF (for starters like they did Eberron, to test the waters) Maybe they'll double down and make them both release in the same month, since they're so thematically related...

The cast for the DnD movie seems fine, but no actor can do well if given a terrible script and direction. I'm neither joyed nor disappointed with the announced director/writer team since they've worked on some decent projects, but it's hard to say how their previous experience will mesh with...

Water and its ingredients may be common on habitable planets, but a space empire can't just set up strategic outposts on habitable planets, otherwise there would be gaps in its border security. Transportation of large quantities of water might very well be necessary during space wars, which can...

Water is one of the most vital resources for maintaining a civilization, and doesn't necessarily appear in large enough quantities to be cheap everywhere one goes. Transportation of water can be a hassle, so space empires might fight over natural water reservoirs as prime strategic locations...

Wasn't it announced that a setting book or two would be coming this year? Perhaps Ravenloft will have a new guide by December. Not necessarily a hardcover - they might go the waters-testing route of pdf like they did for Eberron.

Since Ed Greenwood and other authors have had to keep mum about certain subjects due to NDAs, there would have to be a lore bible of sorts compiling all the legally sealed information, at least in the hands of the legal department at WotC.

Since it's a fighter, one particular spell that makes sense is Heroism. A level 8 Heroism would temporarily protect the whole party against being frightened as well as shore up everyone's hit points with temporary hit points gained per round. The fighter, not knowing much about magic, prays for...

If there's no contract, and no submittable evidence of commissioning work, then this could be as simple as an amateur getting pranked on the internet by a third party, or a person with mental health issues making up things.

Component requirements and spell limitations are not the same thing. As Resurrection is a 7th level spell, it wouldn't be beyond the limits of an 8th level spell to extend the duration limit of death on the corpse. Too far though and you might end up going beyond the limits of an 8th level...

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned [CHAOS BEASTS] up to now. Aberrantly organic as opposed to the cold, mechanical nature of Modrons. No definable form or shape as opposed to the highly purposed structures of the Modrons. A mess of primitive instincts as opposed to the programmed...

I would like to see the timeline advanced while connecting the history of the setting with the greater multiverse. Perhaps a tidbit about Takhisis being an aspect of Tiamat, and Paladine being an aspect of Bahamut. Some lore about how the gods of Krynn participated in the ancient Dawn War and...

The videogame Final Fantasy VI has a high fantasy setting that is arguably experiencing an Industrial Revolution. Magic has been militarized and enhanced with machines that can store magical energy as well as utilize magic weapons of great destructive capability. Mechanical vehicles that run on...

Big Muppet Energy in the trailer.

They are siblings and they have a third sibling named Planko. One day Planko fell ill with a magical chronic disease that is historically immune to clerical magic. The two had a falling out over how to raise the money needed for the medicine to treat Planko. As such, they argue over each other's...

There could also be rules and restrictions around spells with potentially dangerous effects such as fireball or lightning bolt, based on local laws. One could compare such controls to background checks for firearms. Invisibility type spells might also be restricted, due to a past incident...

There's a current story arc in the Fairy Tail sequel manga series that is involving a massive dragon upon which towns have been constructed. That might be useful for people trying to figure out how to approach a dragon as a dungeon. Many dungeons after all started out as something other than a...
