    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    An updated version of 3e's Urban Arcana for 5e? AFAIK, A5e is a world neutral RPG. And since it's backwards compatible, its' game mechanics can be applied to any 5e setting.

    Gate Pass Gazette Gate Pass Gazette 2025 Annual, will there be one?

    An article on the latest issue of the GPG and what that issue is offering us, players, in terms of new monsters, subclasses, heritages, etc. :) I haven't seen any articles for issues #34 to #45 on EN World or on A5e Tools.

    Gate Pass Gazette Gate Pass Gazette 2025 Annual, will there be one?

    For the last couple of months, I haven't seen any GPG articles here on EN World. What's the story behind that? And will there be a Kickstarter for the GPG 2025 Annual next month? Inquiring minds would like to know. :)

    D&D General Silly Campaign Idea: The All Kobold Party

    I wish there was an emoticon in the Like button for people who want to groan whenever they come across a pun like that. :p "That said, this is a job for the KLF! The Kobold Liberation Front." :D

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    How many fantasy RPGs today still use the word Race when describing beings such as Elves and Dragonborn? Pathfinder 2e- Ancestry A5e- Heritage and Culture ToV- Lineage and Heritage 5.5e D&D- Species These four RPGs AFAIK are the only ones that moved away from using the word Race. What about...

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    This is something I happily agree with. However, it was A5e's splitting of race into heritage and culture that created that additional design space and those meaningful abilities at 1st and 10th level.

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    Which 21st century paradigm? And how is it compatible with racial abilities in A5e?

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    In terms of heritage, a Dwarf born to Dwarf parents is going to have the same innate traits (size, age, speed, Darkvision) as any other Dwarf. But where they will differ is if they are from a Mountain Dwarf, Hill Dwarf or Deep Dwarf culture because each Dwarven culture has a different set of...

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    That's a good Background idea. :) It's also a good example of Bardic Inspiration. ;) I've been musing on and off about a background for a Tymanther Lance Scout. In the Dragonborn nation of Tymanther, all Dragonborn are required to spend two years being a member of the Lance Defenders, who are...

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    It's cool. I can see there being room for more backgrounds in D&D. Right now, I am just wondering how many more and how many of them are actually used or will be used by the players.

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    I think the number of backgrounds in 5e2014 and 5e2024 are just enough for the player to pick and choose what they want for their character.

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    Every species in a D&D setting probably is as culturally diverse as humans are. However, how do you expect WoTC to portray those thousands of Wood Elf cultures? There are an untold number of human cultures in RL, but there is not a single book that covers all of them.

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    Especially when 5e is trying to keep it short and simple. As everyone pretty much knows, RL is anything but simple. That would be my guess too. Which is why Level Up split species into heritage and culture in the first place. Level Up wanted to get away from the Planet of Hats trope.

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    I don't have this particular 2024 book, so I can't offer up my two copper pieces just yet on what I think of it. As for the Dragon Cult, I would probably use Level Up's Dragon Cult culture instead of what's being offered in Heroes of Faerun. ;) FR's Cult of the Dragon deals with Chromatic...

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    And this is one of the reasons why the DM will ask a player for a skill check. ;) Individually, people aren't very knowledgeable about everything that makes up the culture they live in. We know bits and pieces on any given topic and will defer to someone more knowledgeable than ourselves. More...

    According to Wikipedia, Culture is a concept that encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, attitudes, and habits of individuals in these groups. So, your definition of culture is...

    Which background in 5e grants the character a bonus language?

    D&D General 5E species with further choices and differences

    That setting probably would be the Forgotten Realms. It's been around since 1e and has appeared in nearly every edition of D&D. The other settings haven't received the same amount of support as FR has.
