Well they are hiring a lot of creatives. So if by ‘messing with’ that’s what you mean. Whether you think that’s a good thing or a bad thing depends on what you think of the designers and there work up to this point. It’s hard because I’m really enjoying what they have put out in the last two...

Don’t use it for anything that’s going to put someone out of a job. Don’t use it for anything where getting it wrong will cause problems Don’t use it for anything you want to publish as your own work. There is a hell of a lot of space in between these mantras for it to be helpful.

Copilot is useful for summarizing large amounts of text. Particularly in preparation for reading it or processing it. I see lots of players making character portraits with AI. Particularly that can change as their character changes. It’s quite useful for D&D rules searches, where the AI search...

If you’re ever in Madrid go to a tapas place called El Minibar and try Heuvos Rotos. Yum yum yum.

Rare in the UK, Medium Rare everywhere else.

Nick works fine. It’s a really straightforward balanced ability that lets you make an extra minor attack. It’s really close to the early edition two weapon fighting. It’s PotC that’s the problem.

This topic always goes so weird. How can a digital product make using a book any harder? Let alone so hard it can’t be an option? Nothing to suggest that any of the physical methods of playing are going anywhere. There are more physical tools and paraphernalia than ever before. Yet people look...

I would love to understand what physical resource is no longer available which would indicate that online play is a requirement? If it’s just the question of online play resources (music, art, maps, accessing rules efc) outcompeting physical play do you not think the benefits of physical play...

As I said in my post I’m referring to the £35 hardback Forgotten Realms book I bought with the full color poster map. A £10 Whiz Kids blister pack or those more flush than me the £300 Beadle and Grimm set. Whatever your price range we’re in a better position than we were before. I don’t see any...

From a more specific RPG point - outside of CRPG, media etc - the way they are engaging with customers through Beyond and VTT partners is heartening. Foundry VTT modules for Faerun and Eberron were available within days of release. That is not something we have ever had before. It means my next...

It’s a tangent and not related to the OP but I can’t agree with you here. There is a huge difference between the - as you say - popular fetch quest and the loathed recover-my-own-hard-earned-stuff quest. They are not the same thing. Not even a subset. They’re fundamentally different. All the...

This isn’t a circumstance where you have two conflicting rules. It is perfectly possible for the Light Weapon rules to exist next to the PotC rules. Neither needs to override the other. They both apply in different circumstances.

Sure. When you make an attack you can do that. But if you do, you aren’t triggering the light benefit. There is nothing in Light, that suggests it applies in any circumstances other than those described. It’s not if you are holding a light weapon, it is very specifically when you you make an...

You have answered your question in your opening post. That’s really specific. Not a cantrip, not a familiar. An attack with a light weapon. If you don’t attack with a light weapon and the use another light weapon you don’t get to make the extra attack.

Yeah Light Weapon clearly says you must make an attack with another light weapon to get the extra attack. It also says you must attack with a light weapon to trigger the whole routine as well. A familiar attacking isn’t using another light weapon. So you can’t use either attack for the familiar...

I think almost stealing the tuning forks probably caused more afront than if you had simply stopped planar travel magic working because of a gods power. Theft is such a personal affront, almost guaranteed to get players backs up. It’s also something most people would want a chance to detect or...

Fighters don’t suck at climbing. They are now probably the best class at climbing. As long as they get a short rest beforehand.

Sorry I should have made it clearer. I don’t think being trapped in the Feywild is a a railroad. Bypassing a players choices and precautions would be though, as in my Leomunds Chest example. I didn’t see anything in your description to make me think your players had taken extra precautions and...

Well that’s not quite right. It’s any ability check not any check. Specifically it’s an improvement in something other than hitting things or resisting things. Which a fighter is already pretty good at, hence the point about non-combat. The challenge with the A5e approach. Giving me the ability...

I didn’t know about the podcast - I will check that out. Two way street. What I would say is that the TV series for both Wheel of Time roughly maps to the story of the books there are so many differences and the TV captures only such a small slice of that is actually there that it doesn’t do it...
