Hi! We all know one that the old MM had underperforming monsters based on their CR (if used badly), and the new keep those CR expection giving the DM less choices. Questions: is this MM usable with the old rules, old encounter building rules and old characters? There will be interesting fights...

Hi everyone. Recentely I've seen the Pointy Hat DMG review, and he raises the concern about missing worldbuilding tables. Also I think he also said there are no random dungeon tables (don't quote on me on this, I've seen it yesterday) and no random encounters. This morning I had a doubt and...

Hi! Recentely I was thinking about the three adventures I'm/I have mastered, their scope and their levels. And I'm thinking: are the tier scope respected in them? You know, 1-4 being local hero, 5-10 kingdom hero, 11-16 world hero, 17-20 planar hero. So, in Curse of Strahd all your adventures...

So, PHB 2024 revision is on its way, and will be the other book. So this means that 2014 will not be updated anymore. Sometimes, videogames start getting updates patches from the community... Would not be nice to have something similar for 5e 2014? My idea would be like having a nice printable...

I've noticed, in the preview, that there were a lot of improvements on many things, but some spells have still errors and some "bad" combo seems to exists. Knowing the modus operandi of WotC, do you think they will release an errata, or they wait a little before doing it? Do you think, based on...

I was thinking that until last year, Xanathar, Tasha and Mordenkainen were considered a "rule expansion", getting their nice case and so on. We know that Mordenkainen will be almost all usable (the "races" will have some rules to convert them, I think it will be easy), but the other two? For...

Hi! After the announcement of the FoundryVTT official module, I noticed this in the TODO list of the Github code: I don't think it was in the playtest: maybe it is the idea that an interrupterd long rest can be a short one after an hour ingame? Or they are reworking the rest system to fix...

Hi all! I received via D&D Beyond the link for this year's digital advent calendar. https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1620-d-d-adventure-calendar-2023-celebrate-the-holidays First day was useless (a coffee discount code), but the rules (at the bottom of the calendar) for a different way of using...

Recently, the release of Chains of Asmodeus bring a sequel to Descent to Avernus, making it a full campain to 20. How would you see "official" DMsGuild by Wotc sequels to campaign sold like these? Think, a sequel to 20 for Curse of Strahd, Tomb of Annihilation, Storm King's Thunder and so on...

Hi! Everytime a new OneD&D playtest packet is out, I first check the rest rules... I know the DMG suggests the XP budget for the adventuring day, one can mix different encounters and battles of different difficulty if one master wants to create some adventuring days with resource attrition. The...

Hi everyone. Recentely I've seen the D&D HAT movie, and (for people who jumped the spoiler: a movie plot point could be easily resolved by a high level spell, but no one of the characters tought or speaked about that) In metagaming, you know that doing enough adventures, you'll get to level...

Hi all! First of all, notice that this thread is crossposted from reddit. I had one nice response about the Alexandrian blog. Recentely I had an letdown experience DMing that would have been avoidable if I was a more experienced DM. Nothing serious, but started in me a tought. Till now, I've...

Everyone knows: Wizards will never been able to recover from this massive damage. No faith in OGL 1.0(a) can ever be restored. A lot of competition will rise in small time. A lot of people hate the company behind the game, not the game. So... it's time for Hasbro to sell everything? The brand...

Hi everyone! After a while toying with the idea, I generated a random dungeon using the tables on the DMG. I know there are online generators with a lot of options... but just tried to do it old style, for once. Map resulting was pretty nice, I have to admit! It's an old school one, and you...

Hi there! In these days I had the pleasure to check the original grey box of the Forgotten Realms. I know the setting got a lot of events since its inception, like games, novels, adventures, entire campain books... But at first I was a little surprised to notice that the Cyclopedia part of the...

Hi! I'm writing this thread because in this forum I'm noticing several thread speaking on the role of the DMG: For some people it's a good reference book but not a starter book. For others the Starters and Essential Kits should be the real "starting" DM guide, for other the PHB, except for the...

Hi all! Yesterday my party had the fight of a lifetime against the Tomb of Annihilation mastermind. At some point, he sawed of one of my hand (I'm a wizard with a wand as a spellcasting focus), and next turn the other one. So I was pratically without hand, but I noticed that Mage Hand cantrip...

Hi! I was just thinking of the 5e tiers, and how they should match with the old basic D&D set. Tier 1 is about dungeon delving (Basic) and Tier 2 is about wilderness (Expert). So Tiers 3 should be about dominion (Companion) and Tier 4 extraplanar adventures (Master). Dungeon delving and...

Hi all! I was reading the new Mordenkainen's book. The Wastrilith lore text speak about the corruption it give to people drinking poisoned waters. To gave a table of the effect, they tell us to use the Abyssal Corruption table in chapter 2 of the DMG. Because this book is written with the 2024...

After hearing the idea that the mass combat rules will be in the Dragonlance adventure book, it come to my mind that there are a lot of D&D subsystem across the adventure and settings book. May you help me to have an index of everything, if I'm missing something? Hexcrawl: Tomb of Annihilation...
