    Was the leaked OGL actually a draft?

    How sure are we that the leaked document was meant to be signed? The statement released yesterday is widely seen as including at least one lie: the claim that the leaked document was a “draft.” Most of the commentary I’ve come across insists that this was an executable document intended to be...

    D&D (2024) Auto-succeed/fail on ability checks

    The 5.5e playtest includes just one change I really hate: a 20 automatically succeeds on an ability check, and a 1 automatically fails. I've seen precisely one rationale for this, stated over and over, that most groups already play that way because this is already a widely misunderstood...

    WotC What is "D&D Direct"?

    Is this a new initiative or something? WotC social media just sent out a teaser about something called "D&D Direct" with a link to this webpage on the WotC D&D site. There will be some sort of announcement event one week from today, apparently.

    D&D 5E New WotC senior game designer: Justice Ramin Arman

    Broke the news on Twitter. Mentions hoping to be a good steward of D&D, so that's definitely what he'll be working on. Edit: I originally said I didn't know his previous work. Turns out I do, and it's great.

    D&D General D&D Trivial Pursuit coming this fall

    Ultimate Trivial Pursuit: Dungeons & Dragons coming August 31. Definitely a legit preorder listing, theough the release date should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm looking forward to filling my pie wheel with wedges representing my superior knowledge in the categories of Procedurally...

    D&D 5E I know *exactly* what "Many Eyes" means

    We've already guessed the upcoming streaming event / campaign book announcement relates to beholders, Xanathar, and Waterdeep/Undermountain. And it's been noted that the tagline "No Stone Unturned," found both in the event announcement and the currently-ongoing "alternate reality game" is a...

    D&D 5E Newbie question re: surprise, initiative and ready action

    Newbie DM here running 5e. Last night my players were moving stealthily through a dungeon and the two characters in the lead both perceived the dim torchlight of an approaching enemy from around a corner. This wasn’t visible to the other party members (who don’t have darkvision), and the two...

    D&D 5E More realistic rules for the net weapon? (5e)

    Noob DM here -- one of my players is playing a Cleric of Eldath (Forgotten Realms goddess of peace and serenity) and really wants to use the net as her favored weapon. Story-wise I think that's excellent, but we're both pretty dissatisfied about the way the net is treated mechanically. In the...

    D&D 5E Official DMs Guild material: print vs. non-print?

    Does anyone know if there's a reason only a small portion of the official material on DMs Guild is available in printed form? I'm talking about TSR/WotC publications. There are hundreds of these available in PDF form, but only a fraction are available as print-on-demand (PoD) books. At first...
