    TTRPG Setting Books

    Lalato.com is keeping a running list of the third-party 5E campaign setting books that have been released thus far that they have found. Right now they have calculated we are currently at 469 different settings. Campaign Settings – 5e D&D – Lalato.com

    D&D General Why does the Hunter subclass for the 2014 & 2024 Ranger not have bonus spells?

    It's also a larger and more complex design scheme as well... not something the WotC designers have really cared to give to the playerbase. Not when most players who play D&D are casual and thus unconcerned with having dozens of fiddly mechanical bits to think about every single turn. They let...

    D&D General D&D Dungeon Map Design: Good and Bad

    This is one of the things I really liked about the WotC Star Wars RPG that came out quite a while ago... in that I believe each square was identified as a meter long, rather than 5 feet. I would presume that is also how it's done in European printings too? By identifying the distances in that...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Hey, you might be right. We won't know until the book happens. But I personally think there's no way in hell that our vocal DS fans will enjoy whatever amended setting book for Dark Sun that WotC puts out because all the edgy stuff those folks think has to remain in the setting will instead...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    There was no buzz online when the original Spelljammer and Dark Sun were released either. ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    But you're not going to get it. That's the point. As is the case with every updated setting, some things will get changed, they won't match what came before, and it'll piss (general) you off. It's not that hard. If (general) you love the setting in its original setting glory... there is...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Right. So you don't want the 5E version. Thus just not worry about it if it's getting written and don't bother reading it when it comes out. It isn't necessary and you already own the material you want and need. :)

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    No? Heh heh... not exactly sure where you were trying to go with that dig, but it doesn't make no sense to me!

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    If you complain about X on boards like this and other people's responses are "Do Y instead"... you just have to deal with that. If that annoys you... don't complain about X here on the boards. Being on a message board does not grant you the ability to rant without responses from other people...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Yeah, except that if that sort of reasonable response was going to be the norm, we wouldn't have so many people freaking out about how WotC is going to "screw it up" already. ;)

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Which is exactly why no one else (most especially WotC) should waste their own time taking their complaints seriously. ;)

    D&D General Your Core Classes if The Core 4 Aren't Allowed

    Using this restrictions, I would probably go with a full-on "exploration adventuring party" vibe a la the Fellowship, and create a game that was more geared toward long-range hiking, exploration and such. Meaning that there wouldn't be any heavily armored classes (because long-range hiking in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    There is not a single person who wants and prefers 2E Dark Sun that should be following or concerning themselves with any information regarding a Dark Sun book for 5E24. If you are... you are basically repeatedly slamming your face into a wall right now for absolutely no reason. You KNOW how...

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    I voted 'Gift', but it's really halfway between 'Gift' and 'Comic Potential' because it doesn't particularly actually matter to me all that much. Cause here's the thing... a '3' doesn't mean anything to me. What actually has meaning is '-4', which is the modifier for the stat. And honestly...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    You're right, I'm sorry. I forgot that part. Wait... how do you play again? ;)

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    If the dude doesn't want to play 5E24 and wants to remain with 5E14, that's fine. No skin off of anyone else's nose. Same way no one cares if someone wants to keep playing 4E or 3.5 or PF, or switch over to TotV, A5E, Shadowdark, Draw Steel! or the like. Everyone can play what they want...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    Just went back and looked at the first couple pages of that thread, and saw really only a couple people actually seemingly all that excited about the loss of that one single ability due to "wizard fandom", as the other few people who commented on its removal just thought it was a bad rule in and...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    So the six of you who do this? ;) My guess is the designers are not going to modify all their designs just to make sure your players are adequately compensated for their characters work. Not when the six of you could just take a few moments to throw a couple shekels to the players who are...

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    No PC can do everything. And the game is never going to be made such that every PC can do everything, because then what's the point of making PCs distinct? Which means yes... occasionally a player just might have to be a grown-up and merely think up the cool idea and then have their PC tell...
