And the survey is also supported in practice. Anytime D&D and/or DnDBeyond shared character creation data the Fighter was always number one.

Did Justice Arman have something to do with this?

Oh, for sure! The mainstreaming of D&D is wonderful for nerds like us. I don't look down on it at all. In fact I reference moments like this in my event because I want to show people that the world has more understanding of D&D and RPGs now than ever before.

The next one is at Seattle area gaming convention OrcaCon. OrcaCon 2026 At security events I've spoken to 120, 90 and 80 or so. I'm usually in smaller rooms, but the feedback is strong. The mainstreaming of D&D opens up a lot of possibilities that aren't merely "neat its KC Chiefs doing...

The event is called Seat at the Tabletop and it's about using RPGs as a replacement for boring simulations and tabletop exercises. It's D&D heavy in the approach because the tropes with that game are part of the general zeitgeist. I've had requests to run D&D games in evenings at conferences...

I used to do that, but my former director was one of my players in an early 5e campaign. I now use D&D in work, getting us on stage at the second largest conference in our industry.

In 1990s MLS (us pro soccer) the teams stayed at bad hotels and most players couldn't afford gaming systems. One group, including someone who is now a Chief Soccer Officer and another who is Director of Development, would skip the bar at Applebee's and Chili's instead playing 1e/2e together in...

The Cleveland Browns had a regular campaign going. It featured in Sports Illustrated (prior to their recent PE downfall). The organizer retired from the NFL and is now a full time D&D creator.

I take a closer to classical approach. Newer players join at the lowest level of the average participating tier. Right now that means first level. If a non-gaming player does away from table play by advancing towards their goals and plot points via downtime or written play I'll catch them up to...

Both had posts within the last week, including one that generated an entire thread of speculation on ENWorld where you commented -- the holiday image of Strahd.

Wasn't there a golem stitching subclass?

I might think that a Warlock would work because the simple version is cantrip and a big spell once in a while

I still think you'd want your teleport as a reaction. Making it a bonus action takes away so much of what the Rogue can do

My suggestion earlier with the homebrew needs clarity. The Quick Step is a shorter Misty Step early in the game that then grows to longer distances

Except @FitzTheRuke points out that it has nothing to do with the Amazon classification. It's all about the convoluted and irrational tariff war being nearly impossible for people doing the actual processing work to figure out what things mean. While it's possible a few people are checking...

I'm also unconvinced that the classification within Amazon impacts the classification for tariffs. It's still a physical book when Customs looks at it.

The reclassification happened well before anyone thought that the tariff war would be a reality. It's not Hasbro's fault that they didn't read the future.

I think I'd build a custom subclass around a Rogue 3rd level You could use a Quick Step that's 10' per Sneak Attack dice PB per day as Reaction (therefore allowing most Roguey stuff on Bonus). You can use this reaction immediately after initiative is rolled. Toss in a cantrip like Starry Wisp...

I can't remember a marketing snafu. I don't think the department had a major failure this year. WotC had a production problem with Eberron, but that's NEVER a marketing problem.

Yes. Heroes of the Borderlands, Stranger Things, the Monster Manual and Forgotten Realms all reviewed quite well, and received a lot of attention from normies/media. Beyond integrated more 3rd party stuff, and WotC is supporting more VTTs than ever before. They announced a new video game that...
