    Dragon Delves to Return to Godsbreath, a Journey Through the Radiant Citadel Setting

    I think the connection here is between copper dragons and songs/stories/bards. That setting was big on this idea that there was an oral tradition that preserved their history in song. Isn't that the copper dragon thing? (Trading in stories)

    D&D (2024) Take A Deeper Look At The New D&D Starter Set's Card-Based Characters

    It's early for them to be promoting this right now, and they really want to promote other, higher-margin products to their core audience. The only reason they announced it online the other day is because they knew news like this would be our there once Toy Fair happened, and the reason they...

    Level Up (A5E) Horde Monster basic question

    The Horde Monster section is basically just explaining how you can simplify a typical monster stat block (of CR 1 and higher) so that it's still participating in the fight, but so that you can run many of them at once, and so that they each die quickly. And then it gives some changes to the...

    D&D (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    THis is the point I was trying to make. That's not what the word means. Someone is an "influencer" from the perspective of a professional marketer. They are not an "influencer" from the perspective of their audience (save for the fact that we're all savvy now and recognize how many forms of...

    D&D (2024) D&D 2024 Player's Handbook Reviews

    An "influencer" is someone that a marketing department at a company that's selling a product thinks they can get to speak positively about their product by talking with them, providing them free product, inviting them to events, giving them access and exposure, etc. It usually refers to people...

    D&D 5E What comes after the 2025 Monster Manual?

    Three things are true: 1. The new PHB has guidance for how to smooth out the rough edges of compatibility with older subclasses, so theoretically, ANY 2014-2023 subclass can be compatible with a 2024 class, with some small adjustments (i.e. moving a subclass feature to a new level, or dealing...

    D&D 5E What comes after the 2025 Monster Manual?

    I expect them to do a book in the style of Mordenkainen Presents, where they condense mechanics from Xanathar's and Tasha's will stripping out some extras, i.e. putting some playable species, feats, and magic items together in one book. It will be mostly reprints that have been updated, with a...

    Level Up (A5E) "Easy Mode" Pregens?

    I respect the dedication to playing an indie version of 5e, but I have to agree. A5E (for better or worse) is not an ideal way to introduce players to 5e. For what it's worth, 5e is in the Creative Commons now. You can make pregens using the SRD rules without supporting WotC in any way, and you...

    Level Up (A5E) Adding A5e to other campaigns

    I'm using A5E monsters in my Eberron campaign as much as possible. Re: Epic Paths: I haven't looked at Odyssey of the Dragonlords in a while, so maybe I'm wrong about this - maybe the power scales are way different or something - but isn't the Epic Path Boon in OotD basically the equivalent of...

    Level Up (A5E) My 4 level 9 PCs took out the CR 17 Emerald Dragon!

    I think your interpretation is reasonable and simple, so it's good. One other approach is to copy the rules found in the "Sleep" spell: By that rule, you'd roll initiative the moment the player went to attack, you'd use the A5E rules for letting the attacking player get ahead of the enemy...

    Level Up (A5E) Which electronic version of character storage/sheet do you use for A5E characters?

    In Roll20, I have set up some pre-gens using the default 5E character sheet. I created a baseline blank character that I copy for each new character, which has a few features pre-added, to make it easier for my players to figure out where to put their A5E-specific features (and to learn the A5E...

    a5e.tools Errata & A5E.tools

    I coincidentally just reread this rule in the book yesterday and thought, "That seems wrong, it should be like this..." and it turns out my edit is more or less exactly what's in the extra paragraph on a5e.tools. Seems like errata that got applied incorrectly?
