    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    I guess you never played 3E, Huge and larger Dragons could simply land ON YOU and pin enemies to the ground, damaging them every round and keeping them immobilized? Hard to cast spells when a 10 ton Dragon is sitting on your head. :D Nobody would tell her that. But I also do not think that...

    D&D's The Book of Dragons Comes Out in August

    I still dislike the new 2025 Dragon designs, which the book partially uses... I say partially as it seems they are reusing old art from 3E and other sources too. But one thing does make me happy - the Sapphire Dragon looks exactly like in Fizban's. That gives me hope they will not update the Gem...

    Goodman Games Revives Relationship With Anti-Semitic Publisher For New City State Kickstarter [UPDATED]

    Maybe, just maybe, I know, stupid idea, we should just conduct business without caring what political views the other person has? If I asked every person I sell to on Ebay what he thinks about minorities I'd probably never conduct any business. :P

    D&D 5E 2024 Monster Manual has better lore than 2014 Monster Manual

    Agreed. I wish we were back to lore where a full page was written about all the creatures. I found the lore in the new manual to be ridiculously short for some creatures, and the tables are of little use. Others though have a lot more lore than in 2014. So it is a very mixed bag. Personally, I...

    Evil Drow Statblocks to Return in Forgotten Realms Rulebooks Later This Year

    Good move to add them back. You cannot just put a Priest stat block on a Drow and say that's a Priestess of Lolth. They have pretty specific powers and weapons, like tentacle rods and Yochlol summoning. Hope this is done not just for Drow, but Duergars, Orcs and Derro too.

    WotC 5E Designer Mike Mearls Talks About The OGL Crisis

    I never understood why and how WotC profits from the OSL. To me it feels like they basically let anyone (even giant companies) use everything except the copyrighted stuff from their work, and they are not seeing a dime out of it. I mean, Paizo basically built Pathfinder out of the OSL 3.5E, and...

    Are Orcs in the Monster Manual? No and Yes.

    It makes no sense that Kobolds, Goblins, Hobgoblins, Bugbears, Lizardmen, Gnolls, Githyanki and Githzerai have stat blocks for specific roles and capabilities of their species and any creature that is a humanoid doesn't. Given that a lot of the above creatures are also playeable, this just makes...

    Monsters & More: An In-Depth Review of the 2025 D&D Monster Manual

    As a biologist, this change makes me really happy. :D The annoying bit from this is that they lose anything that made them special, no? Such as Drow Priestesses having tentacle rods, or Duergars having the Enlarge and Invisibility powers. Plus, even more annoying, that would mean they would...

    D&D (2024) Monster Manual 2025 Aberrations & Oozes Video

    Here, I have combined this pan shot already. And a few more. None of that is really new. 3E's Book of Exalted Deeds has a staple for the "redeemed monster" archetype as a Mind Flayer lady who got imprisoned by Drow and tortured, and got saved by adventurers who healed her. This made her...
