Hi all! So skycoaches are a common sight in Sharn. They’re like flying boats that work thanks to the magic of the Syranian manifest zone in which the city is situated. And yet, no Eberron book has ever provided any game mechanics for them as vehicles. All I can find is a “map” of one as part...

Hey all, The first three episodes of Star Wars: Andor season 2 are now available on Disney+! Starting a spoiler-filled discussion thread for the show. Haven't watched yet myself, though. Will update this post with my own once I have. Episode 1: Jumps right in with Cassian stealing a prototype...

Disney has announced a new Star Wars movie called Starfighter. Starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine), it’s set to release in May 2027. It will take place about five years after Ep IX and will be a standalone story...

Just saw this on Facebook: A new Disney+ series coming in 2026. Don’t know if it will be animated or live action. Presumably it takes place around the same time as Solo, so maybe Qi’ra will be in it. EDIT: OK, it’s animated. https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-maul-shadow-lord

Looks like we're getting another six-episode entry in the "Tales of" animated series, this one focused on bounty hunters Cad Bane and Asajj Ventress.

Hi all, I am currently running "Vidorant's Vault" from the Keys from the Golden Vault anthology. SPOILERS AHEAD! If you're unfamiliar with that adventure, it involves two former partners-in-crime, a dwarf named Goldenbeard and an elf named Vidorant, who have had a falling out. Goldenbeard...

Class tags were a thing WotC introduced partway through the 2014 era of 5e. They've continued with it for the 2024 iteration. The reason for them, according to the new MM's intro, is still to alert the DM that such a creature is eligible to attune to magic items that have that class as an...

Hi all, The new MM has unlocked for me on D&D Beyond, so I've been looking through it. I thought lycanthropes might warrant their own thread. Art by Slawomir Maniak. I was expecting them to get the regeneration trait that late-stage OG 5e lycanthropes have had, but no! They've got nothing...

‘Tis the season to give and to receive! One thing I received was the Ambush on Mandalore Star Wars Lego set, so now I can recreate the meeting of Bo-Katan’s Nite Owls and the Children of the Watch! I gave my wife the official Stardew Valley cookbook, and Santa gave each of us a D&D Lego mini...

Got this email from D&D Beyond: Our 12 Days of D&D celebration is here, and we’ve got a delightful surprise in store for you! Claim today's FREE gift and check back daily through December 15th for new drops each day. Clicked on the "Claim Now" link and it took me to the marketplace, where it...

Hi all, The 2024 PHB divides languages into standard and rare categories. By default, every PC knows Common plus two other standard languages. None of the 2024 backgrounds or species grant bonus languages, which is fine, but as far as I can tell, there's no way for a PC to learn a rare...

The final Eberron book by Keith Baker is now available as a pdf and print-on-demand on DMs Guild: Frontiers of Eberron: Quickstone - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild @Morrus

Hi all, You might know that while I DM for several groups, I also play in one. I’ve been playing with this group for about 14 years, though it’s gone through a lot of changes. When I first joined, the DM was very focused on the game with minimal socializing and good time management. Over the...

Hi all, As part of my ongoing episodic Eberron campaign, I ran "Prisoner 13" from Keys from the Golden Vault. Warning: Spoilers for "Prisoner 13" and also the Oracle of War adventure, "The Last Word", follow. Continue reading at your own peril! During the adventure, the PCs met with...

Hi all, I recently got the Quests from the Infinite Staircase book, and I've been reading through the adventures. I was not impressed by The Lost City. I've heard it's been reimagined rather than merely updated, but it's still got too much of that old school random dungeon placement for my...

Because the other thread got derailed so badly by the Stealth discussion, here is a new thread that compiles all the known errata (read: differences in text between the print version of the 2024 PHB and the digital version available on D&D Beyond). If people find any more, I will update this...

"Well, we knocked the bastard off." - Sir Edmund Hillary (1919–2008) We did it! It only took us three years, but we managed to complete Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage! Session 0: 1 August 2021 Session 72:* 31 August 2024 Backstory At the start of 2020, we were all excited to play...

Hi all, I suspect that I will not adopt the 2024 revised rules in full as a DM until sometime next year when all three core books have been published. (The DM for the group I play in, however, intends to start a 2024 rules-only game in about a month.) Nevertheless, the temptation to start...

Hi all, The group I play in will be switching to the 2024 rules sometime in September. Like @Charlaquin, I want to make my first 2024 character a rogue named Nikki Vexx. We'll be starting at 1st level, and we're playing Dragon Heist, so we should make it to 5th level at least. I like the look...

Everyone's got their own pet peeves with respect to the D&D rules. Some people will find that theirs have been addressed in the 2024 revision, others will find that theirs have not. Looking through the various reviews, I came across two that still kinda irk me. 1) First Aid: I know we're...
