    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Offers A Free Baldur's Gate Gazetteer

    I'd be 100% behind this. I kinda dislike Spelljamming and the NEO soundtracks since most of the songs have lyrics, which doesn't make them good background music for games. I wish Wizards would produce something like the original D&D soundtrack made by Midnight Syndicate... That soundtrack formed...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Offers A Free Baldur's Gate Gazetteer

    To be fair, they did create a soundtrack for Spelljammer, and it was pretty nice. The Magic side of WotC also does this from time to time, since they made a special soundtrack for the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Offers A Free Baldur's Gate Gazetteer

    This is the post you were talking about, yes? I see no mention of DiA here. Though some people seem to be bringing up the Pinkertons lol The D&D Beyond claim page may mention DiA, I'm not sure. But even then, if DiA is a tie-in product, why aren't you bringing it up in your social media post...

    D&D 5E (2014) Poll: Which Official Adventures Have You Run or Played in To Completion?

    Do we count anthology books as completed if you only played through every single adventure in the book? In any case, I sadly only experience LMoP and PotA all the way to the end (both times as players). The first time I ever DM'd 5E was for Out of the Abyss, and I had read the book from start...

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    You know who has been a great disappointment to me in combat? (Spoilers for the second half of Act 2)

    D&D General BG3 Massive Spoiler Thread

    Sir, this is Cleric slander. A full caster that can plop down not only Spiritual Weapon (a Bonus Action summon whose damage output is too high for its spell level because "it's an iconic spell"), but also Guiding Bolt (another busted spell for iconological reasons), Spirit Guardians (which is...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Offers A Free Baldur's Gate Gazetteer

    Except that's for the free gazetteer they released, and it doesn't mention DiA in the slightest. And we all knew about the gazetteer, since... We're discussing this in the thread about it. But this is precisely the problem. It's clear that they're half-arseing tie-ins, because it's only digital...

    D&D 5E (2024) Baldur's Gate 3: List of Mechanical Differences from 5e (need assistance to fill the list)

    To add on this, high/low ground does not give dis/advantage but a flat bonus/penalty (I think it gave dis/advantage in EA so that's why the OP might have thought so). You can tell that's the case because attacking from high ground is not enough to trigger Sneak Attack for Rogues.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Offers A Free Baldur's Gate Gazetteer

    I mean, nobody's questioning whether you enjoyed the starter set or DiA. But it's a simple fact from a business standpoint that these products are not utilising the brand synergy to their fullest potential. And they could without relative difficulty. Admitting this does not mean that your...

    Honestly, it was dumb that a spell called DAYLIGHT did not count as sunlight. It always counted as sunlight in my tables.

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 will now be releasing August 3rd on PC and September 6th on PS5, increased level cap, race & class details and more

    It seems that my graphics card doesn't support DLSS (GTX 1650), I'll mess around with the settings I guess. Funny thing is, I had bought this laptop in 2020 because my old one couldn't run BG3 EA properly. Then on EA, this machine was a beast. Sadly it looks like time caught up with it...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 will now be releasing August 3rd on PC and September 6th on PS5, increased level cap, race & class details and more

    Finally descended from the hill at the start of Act 3 towards Rivington and my framerate immediately dropped like a potato. Are there any specific settings that I should lower? I enjoyed how pretty the game looked on my mid-range PC, so I don't want to lower everything. But I also don't know...

    I'm considering doing this after what happened with her personal quest in Act 2. I'll see where things will go.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Offers A Free Baldur's Gate Gazetteer

    Yeah, I think this is a simple solution. WotC was saying that they have multiple books being developed simultaneously at any given moment, and they could simply make sure the tie-in books are slotted in to the relevant release dates, and release other stuff in the menatime.

    Sex at the Table

    I run most of my (non-convention) games with the assumption that the game has a PG13 rating. Not the current, sexless Marvel-era PG13 but the 80s and 90s stuff that wasn't afraid of alluding to more risqué content, but didn't go for on-screen titillation. My players have spent some nights going...
