D&D (2024) First playtest thread! One D&D Character Origins.

[TwoSix]

Dwarven subraces going away; that's not a huge surprise.

Yes, those sandwich eating competitions were becoming a real health hazard.

 

[Vaalingrade]

Oh my god, he just discussed proper tagging in the context of future-proofing.

And a rules glossary! A D&D Designer is thinking about glossaries. Doctor Strange really did break the multiverse!

 

[Aldarc]

Also that they seemed to design the Rave to appeal to Tumblr fan artists (not a knock at all).

A shame. It seems like other races have earned that spot.

 

[Demetrios1453]

Since we're getting three types of tieflings based on planar origin, are we getting three types of aasimar/ardlings as well? At work and can't watch the stream...

 

[Charlaquin]

Actually gaining Hope for D&D One 360 Box.

Series D.

 

[GMforPowergamers]

Yeah. They can't honestly think two weeks is sufficient time to actually playtest these things. Either that or they've already decided and the "survey" is just PR smoke and mirrors.

that may be a good thing...

I may have missed it, but is this a change? RAW now, a nat 20 is not an automatic success for saving throws or skill checks.

I don't think they were. At least I kept reminding my AL players of that. My home game it is.

 

[Vaalingrade]

Oh god, his discussion on Inspiration.

They're thinking about Inspiration and how the game is actually played.

Could this be the beginning of a terrifying Planet of the Designers? In this reporter's opinion, almost certainly yes.

I mean, classes will almost certainly fail me, but for now I'm seeing good design chops for the first time in almost a decade and I'm a bit weepy, okay?

 

[darjr]

Question? Is any of this a deal breaker if I were to, say, run the Tiamat adventure?
