I feel as though the advice of "don't be racist or bigoted when creating adventures" is somewhat self-explanatory. I don't read much Lovecraft, so I think a reader like me who has more modern sensibilities would just be left with more questions at that line. The point about mental illness also...

Well this was my introduction to the Ravenloft beyond CoS, as I have little experience with the older material. As it stands, I was unimpressed (as mentioned earlier), and that might just be because I don't have much particular interest in that lore, but also maybe because elements of horror in...

Outside of the monsters, character options, and maybe the adventure, I found the book quite dull. The domains weren't really described in enough detail for me to scavenge anything from them, and I'm not too enthusiastic of having to use Zaroff von Patronymic's Domain of Universal Pictures Horror...

Yes. It helps give a framework for how a character might act, and is one of the things that makes D&D unique. I think one of my first interactions with the concepts of D&D was through all those alignment chart memes of characters from pop culture, which I could recognize and understand even...

Worthwhile to note that melee attackers while a character is unconscious are particularly deadly, and only really need to get (at most) two hits off after a character gets downed, since: "If damage reduces you to 0 hit points and fails to kill you, you fall unconscious (PHB 197)," where the...

For most physical activity, it is the limit without further exertion. The characters can safely carry a given weight or jump a given height/distance, up to what is determined by their ability scores. Anything further is based on the situation, and would probably require a roll. For movement...

There's a difference between what I'd want and what I feel is needed, but IDK if even I can distinguish between the two, so here are things I feel are good targets: Rework Skills/Proficiencies/Backgrounds. Maybe not change them, but change the approach, from both a DM and Player angle. Make...

Might be. But it's not like me or my friends buy the books. :p

If they reprint the Champion, as is, I will go mad. I can see options pertaining to disabilities being open when in character creation, and maybe also some changes in terms of language/terminology, though there might be a limit to how far WotC can go without fundamentally restructuring things...

I will say that I think that, ultimately, 5e is quite shallow as a result of both the team's design decisions and the slow pace of content release. I'm sure it's good enough for most players (it's good enough for me most of the time), but I am often left wanting for something more. It's sort of...

Perhaps it is the familiarity with the general setting that stifles the ability of escapism. American students are, for the most part, inundated with lecture regarding the history of the country. I believe there was more time dedicated to the history of the American continent in all my years of...

What else would it be emulating, then? Can you provide an alternative? The setting of ATLA is heavily based on Asian cultures, themes, and motifs, much like the monk. Likewise, the bending in ATLA directly references real world martial arts through the movements of the characters, much like how...

I, too, feel as though the whole subclass should simply be completely reworked. In emulating ATLA with the 5e Monk chassis and gameplay restrictions, they ended up with what just became a mess of disparate elements (heh, get it?). I think the addition of spellcasting is mainly uninspired and...
