    D&D 5E (2014) What can a 20th level wizard do in a day?

    Cast Gate to bring forth a higher being or archmage to accomplish much, much more in a day than a single wizard can. Wish is great for quick stuff on the go, but Gate beats it for other things. EDIT: They don't have be friends, the supporting players rule doesn't rule out use of spells to...

    RPG Evolution: Who Invented the Ice Dragon?

    The Zhulong/Zhuyin from ancient Chinese mythology apparently breathes "seasonal winds", which include the winds of winter. Zhulong (mythology) - Wikipedia

    D&D 5E (2014) The challenges of high level adventure design.

    The fun twist of high level adventures is that the same mindset for low level adventures won't work due to all the more complex options the players AND monsters have at their disposal. IMO, the focus should not be challenging the PCs but to make the adventure give opportunities for their...

    D&D 5E (2014) What I want from a more monetized D&D

    They just have to TOS ban use of copyrighted materials without permission/license, and make sure that imported material has to be specifically compatible with the VTT (possibly having to be made and confirmed with the in-engine builder) so that random stuff on the internet won't be flooding the...

    D&D 5E (2014) What I want from a more monetized D&D

    VTT also means being able to sell virtual minis, landscapes, premade dungeons, etc. There's a gold mine in VTT when it comes to potential microtransactions, which people probably won't mind as long as they can also build or import their own stuff to a degree. They can even build a player-driven...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Very Real Possibility and Impact of Microtransactions in One D&D

    With VTT, WotC can sell virtual minis as microtransactions, selling packs and individual pieces, using existing templates as well as new ones, avoiding the costs of physical production. Character builders can emulate to some extent how the character creators in RPG Maker engines work, with...

    D&D General Fantasy Equivalent of the Nuke

    Realmslore has Elven High Magic, which has groups of elven/drow mages collectively casting in a method that is allowed to surpass 9th level spells under the rules of Mystra's Ban. Elven high magic

    WotC What MTG/D&D crossover material would you want to see?

    I might end up writing such a product since I've been compiling planar lore for my series of deity lore pamphlets on DMsGuild. That said, I think Kamigawa Neon Dynasty would be an interesting crossover as cyber-mage-punk is one of the areas yet to be explored in official DnD settings (Eberron...

    D&D 5E (2014) Need help with a High level Wizard Simulacrum Concept

    The wizard will need Scrying (5th level divination) so that they know where to Teleport and whether they're about to Teleport into a death trap.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which D&D books currently scheduled for 2023 are you interested in?

    Planescape is going to be the most important one imo, as it may address the cosmology of the multiverse, and could fill in a huge gap that has been kept empty on DMsGuild, at least for lore projects. I've had to do a lot of research and gap-bridging for the planar lore in my deity lore...

    D&D General [CC SRD and OGL] Good OGL Product Full of 5e Spells?

    (Assuming this is for a campaign being prepared for the OP's group) There is also DMsGuild. I wrote a few books of magic spells with balance against the PHB spells in mind. THE GRIM: Spells of Necromancy (5e) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild THE PRESTIGE: Spells of Illusion...

    WotC Backs Down: Original OGL To Be Left Untouched; Whole 5E Rules Released as Creative Commons

    This is a big drastic move, which they absolutely needed to salvage the situation. Some will probably say this was a publicity stunt, but if the OGL is left untouched and the SRD becomes future-proofed from future regimes with a CC license, the tabletop gaming industry will be able to breathe a...

    WotC Unveils Draft of New Open Gaming License

    An immortal can still die if slain with a magic blade. That might be how they are trying to frame the difference between [perpetual] and [irrevocable]. Eternal life versus invincibility.

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    If I'm not mistaken, this looks like somebody at WotC has been keeping up with the discussions on forums and social media. Although game mechanics can't be copyrighted, the expression of them CAN be copyrighted. If I'm not mistaken, the CC for WotC's expression of DND core mechanics is to make...

    Looking For Research Recommendations In Tabletop RPG Crowdfunding

    As a small time community creator on DMsGuild, I'm having to prepare for the worst in case WotC offends the tabletop RPG community even more. I still have a couple of big projects in the works that I can't transfer to a different system due to being setting-related, so I'm possibly going to take...

    WotC Talks OGL... Again! Draft Coming Jan 20th With Feedback Survey; v1 De-Auth Still On

    I got over-excited and tried to start a new thread on this without checking the news feed (sorry Morrus). I'll post here what I wrote as a suggestion though. Personally, I'd recommend that everyone taking the survey, if possible, demand the term "irrevocable" applied to the final draft (which...
