D&D General Dmg previews up

[bedir than]

Bugbear sneaks up, grabs a party member, and runs away whilst repeatedly bonking the grabbed character in the head with a tiny hammer

I call him Maxwell.

Apparently present, but not in the summery and downplayed in the highlights reel.

Those that read the official website know the headline is "What's new"
So repeating things that were in 2014 wouldn't be mentioned there, as variant rules aren't new

Light Hammers are not actually very small going by the PHB.

Well, all of those weapons are implausibly huge, so I’m not going to put any stock in them. More importantly though, it’s much funnier if the hammer is tiny. Bonus points if it squeaks.

A) that art is a-maz-ing
B) I feel like there should be a lot more skeletons there at this point

The Tomb of Horrors has cleaners in it’s lore, Demons that pop up every month or so to clean up corpses and reset traps (they are also summoned when people use magic in certain ways to try and bypass the tomb).

You should read the actual linked article, it’s like a 3 or 4 minute read.

Fair enough. Like I said, I get my gaming news from here.

In my mind, I want to believe that the art director knew this and included it in their art notes for that piece.

 

[dave2008]

out of how many D&D DMs (let’s just assume that the viewers are DMs on top of that…)?

Not sure what your point is, but it is over 35K views now

No he posted a single paragraph that answered his own question.

Probably, the Tomb is supposed to be in pristine condition every time a group visits it cause of the demonic caretakers.

Where are rules?

Sorry, mostly chapters 1-3. That was at the end of the video so didn’t make my post.
