I would just like to point out that for a certain segment of the community, including myself, this post is highly offensive. I won't go into why for the sake of civility.

FWIW the dice are pretty hefty - at least in the Laeral Silverhand set. They're a notch above your typical Q Workshop set.

The principal argument for adjusting the representation of race in D&D is that negative representations influence your thought about and/or actions towards real-world individuals. If I understand the argument correctly.

This rabbit hole is very deep. The foundational premises of D&D can easily be labelled toxic. Where is the line between race and monster? Why can you home invade, kill and steal consequence-free from monsters for personal gain but not races? Can we steal from races too if we, the conquering...

I'm of mixed feelings about this but I thought the press release was exceptionally well put together. There was nothing offensive about their intent or actions to me personally. I just worry about where this train could bring us because if we're honest there are a lot of 'problematic' elements...

Is it just me or are the Swedes playing an unusually prominent role in RPGs these days? It's great!

Hah that is just so cool. The Roman Numerals help to explain why it is called Armor Class. Armor Class I, Armor Class V

Thank you Egg! On a very loosely related to the subject of Teacher-Gaming note, my son who is currently in Grade 3 had a virtual class today. The teacher asked what everyone had been doing at home and out of ten students two unrelated girls each said they had been playing D&D with their dads.

I'd be interested to see a deeper analysis of 3.5e vs 5e. Many third-party companies sprang up and thrived in the early 2000s during 3E and later 3.5E. A bunch of those companies are still here and in many cases are making 5e content - but it doesn't seem to be at the same level of output...

Yes, I think you're right. What irritates me is why are they waiting until after the print book has been released to release the official errata. And my guess there would be they decided to hold off the release until they had some certain amount of changes. I think it is poor optics having a...

I'm glad you found a friend but you're not making yourself look any better.

And you even celebrate and publicly declare your underperformance. The book wasn't finished yesterday the errata has been in place for months at this point. Please continue agitating for under-delivery its quite amusing.

You're also fired. I spent 20 years as a software engineer in the defense industry. Sit down son. The spell descriptions are text btw.

You're just continuing the same line of thinking. Let's just agree not to work together :LOL:

"You realize" that a simple email could solve that problem. I love people that conjure excuses for underperformance. Makes firing easy.

I think it is irritating and amusing that a print book has more up to date rules than DnD Beyond

The point I've been trying to make is that if you choose to redefine Necromancy or anything else nominally identified as evil as good, which is totally within your right - and say that the culture of your world supports it, then if and only if you are roleplaying focused or perhaps writing a...

Isn't the Theros book going to bring some radical new stuff - not exactly in the spirit of the OP (these would be additions more than alterations I think). Maybe that's their model for editioning - keep the core as sacrosanct but loose - then adapt or flesh out with setting books with new...

Casting spells with the Necromancy attribute is not evil - I think we all agree on that. You and Flamestrike are arguing from different perspectives. On the one hand you have the lived experiences of those who are victims of the repellent kind of Necromancy, specifically animating the dead -...

I have all the business in the world suggesting it seems to me like they haven't experienced personal loss. Are you ok?
