    Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.2 Is Officially Live

    Main draw of DMs Guild is visibility, right? From what I heard there are people who kickstarted their independent rpg careers with generic, but well-done products for DMs Guild, like Second Black Dawn, whose author is now acclaimed for independent products in Itally.

    Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.2 Is Officially Live

    I keep seeing posts and video thumbnails implying as if there is a controversy with the SRD, anyone knows what it may about?

    D&D (2024) D&D 5e 2024 Monk Handbook

    That is going to grow all the way up to 2-12. And considering how many attacks Monk makes, all of which can be unarmed, this is going to add up significantly. Plus a bit of additional control in extra push is also helpful. I agree, Beastmaster is one Ranger subclass that requires you to have...

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    Sorry, I didn't notice when replying that for some reason a WIP of reply in a different thread got added to the top of my post. Didn't knew it can happen, my bad.

    D&D General Matt Colville on the “Forever DM”

    In his video Matt flat out states that this is both normal and healthy. He also states it is normal for a group to begin with one game and only move out to another once they get bored or to become obsessed for a long time with a single game and only play it. What I think is important to note is...

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    That is a deflective stance to wave off responsibility for one's actions and its consequences. Do you not think a non-profit has a moral obligation to weed-out sponsors and do not take sponsorship from those who may have vexed interest in undermining or corrupting the non-profit's mission...

    D&D General Do you transfer characters between campaigns?

    When I run I have no problem letting players pick up character of appriopriate level from previous campaign that is in the same setting or the character has canonically ended in a place where it could make sense for them to got to the campaign's next setting.

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    And I find that, especially in the context of NaNoWriMo being sponsored by a company that is going big on AI, to be a betrayal of the entire writing community. And while the words "poor disabled people" weren't exact words used, they do describe the way many have read the message of this post...

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    What is weird or narrow about official group behind a world-wide phenomeon using disgusting ableist rhetorics to push AI after accepting AI company as one of their sponsors, effectively alienating their entire fanbase by telling them they'll be replaced and that some of them are too stupid to...

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    This was literally how last year NaNoWriMo tried to justify using AI, by claiming "poor disabled people" are just unable to write without it and everyone who dislikes AI is ableist. There was a HUGE backlash from disabled writers who were not happy being infantilized to sell a naughty word toy that...

    Will AI replace Dungeon Masters?

    AI doesn't HELP you do anything, it generates ready, garbage, thing. The idea it is "helping" is currently being pushyed through VERY ableist lenses by AI bros, trying to pass it as a tool for the disabled people, effectively treating every disabled person ans unable to do anything on their own...

    D&D (2024) D&D 5e 2024 Monk Handbook

    Tavern Brawler is very useful for Monk. I did the math and it is in fact ten times more useful. There is a 6% chance any other class using Tavern Brawler will reroll will jsut get 1 again. For Monk that chance is 2% and goes down every time their Martial Arts die improves, down to 0.6%. And...

    D&D General D&D Editions: Anybody Else Feel Like They Don't Fit In?

    Big deal, I never felt like I fit in this or any hobby. My whole life is a history of trying to make myself place in the hobbies full of people that fundamentally despise my existence without knowing me. My disillusionment with comic book fandom and video game fandom and anime fandom can be all...

    D&D (2024) D&D 5e 2024 Monk Handbook

    Yes, this is for a damage dealer perspective. And this effectively scales the damage up on all tiers, it is jsut notable it even outscales the highest tiers. However, if you get Ranger levels first, you could technically grab Epic book at Monk 16, since it will be your effective character level...

    D&D (2024) The Ray Winninger Era of D&D 5e

    I see a lot of daring choices and improvements mechanically, I am even tempted to get 2024 Monster Manual and player's Handbook (but Bastions scare me away from Dungeon Master's Guide due to their "I WIN" button nature). But I see a lot of books that were criticised for dismissive approach to...

    D&D (2024) D&D 5e 2024 Monk Handbook

    I just added the math in opening post and Ranger 3/Monk 17, Hunter, Gloom Staler and especially Fey Wanderer, just outclasses full monk in damage dealing and utilizes Hunter's Mark better than Ranger. I didn't do it for Beastmaster, since that one clashes with Monk for Bonus action and...

    D&D (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    I don't think either contradicts the idea of demon who spawned either way and still is pissed about being born ready to do evil, and thus never having a choice, and thisis why he hates mortals.

    Planescape Rivarlies between Demon Lords, Archdevils and Celestial Paragons

    Yeah, this is an issue I have with this approach. because if a demon lord is wrecking chaos, I want to know which Powers would be interested in helping stop them. Yes, I could say "any devil will lend a hand stopping demon lord....for a right price" or "Any celestial will gladly join the battle...

    Planescape Rivarlies between Demon Lords, Archdevils and Celestial Paragons

    Evil vs evil is fine, as long as it's not rivalry between members of the same side. I know Yeenoghu hates Baphometh and isn't big fan of Graz'tr either, but I would like to know what archdevils he has beef with, for example. I will try to read them, any specifics come to mind that I could look...
