    D&D General World Building (needs opinions/suggestions only)

    This is pretty neat. I'd say that Enchantment has other aspects besides control. It can be used to calm people (Calm emotions), or to inspire them (a la Bless or Heroism). And Necromancy is about life, not just death (Revivify, Resurrection, etc.).

    Innsmouth added as new Ravenloft Domain of Dread, bringing Lovecraft to D&D

    Many of those settings are previewed on the page for Beadle and Grimm's product.

    D&D General What do you like about Eberron?

    I like that Eberron explored the logical result of a world with magic, especially with magic that is as controllable and predictable as Vancian magic--it would eventually be subject to the scientific process.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ravenloft: The Horrors Within preorder page lists the book's contents

    VGR was most likely their starting point, the way 2014 PHB was the starting point for the 2024 PHB. But anyway, this is just semantics. If you prefer, I could say "Two Domains of Dread which were fully detailed in VGR, the previous Ravenloft product, may not appear in this new Ravenloft product...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ravenloft: The Horrors Within preorder page lists the book's contents

    So far, it seems that the 5.5 design ethos focuses more on crunch and short adventure content. For instance, the amount of Subclasses, Feats, and other things in the new Faerun and Eberron books were much higher than their predecessors. It seems this book will be the same way--more stat blocks...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ravenloft: The Horrors Within preorder page lists the book's contents

    There's 17 Domains in Van Richten's, which means that, with the Inclusion of Innsmouth, a couple major Domains are either getting cut, or being moved to the "Other Domains" section. Looking at info on the Beadle and Grimm's website, we can see the following ones confirmed: Barovia Borca Darkon...

    Also, with 7 subclasses, I suppose it's a "see you later" for the Hexblade

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    Ancient Greeks respected traveling storytellers. They were the repositories of knowledge and culture, and their ability to recite whole sagas and enrapture and transport an audience were considered magical

    Dungeons & Dragons will announce new products at Gen Con, modules returning to game

    Maybe the "Season of Champions" will have a Dark Sun book and a Martial options book, and "Champions" is the word they thought of to tie them together.

    D&D General The 5e Ninja, would it be a class or a subclass?

    Adventures in Rokugan 5e has a Shinobi class. Focuses on stealth and gadgets. It's pretty neat

    Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

    I also think it'll be Dark Sun. But Dragonlance, in 5e, has been sold as the "Total War" setting. I could see it getting some more martial subclasses that have been tested, like Cavalier, or Oathbreaker (for people who want to play a Soth-like character). And the DnD team has determined that...

    Question: besides being character options being updated to 5.5, what do we think is new in this one?
