WHAT WONDERFUL WITCHERY IS THIS?

A magical mixture of rules options for the world's greatest roleplaying game.

The wizard Tasha, whose great works include the spell Tasha’s hideous laughter, has gathered bits and bobs of precious lore during her illustrious career as an adventurer. Her enemies wouldn’t want these treasured secrets scattered across the multiverse, so in defiance, she has collected and codified these tidbits for the enrichment of all.

• EXPANDED SUBCLASSES. Try out subclass options for every Dungeons & Dragons class, including the artificer, which appears in the book.
• MORE CHARACTER OPTIONS. Delve into a collection of new class features and new feats, and customize your character’s origin using straightforward rules for modifying a character’s racial traits.
• INTRODUCING GROUP PATRONS. Whether you're part of the same criminal syndicate or working for an ancient dragon, each group patron option comes with its own perks and types of assignments.
• SPELLS, ARTIFACTS & MAGIC TATTOOS. Discover more spells, as well as magic tattoos, artifacts, and other magic items for your campaign.
• EXPANDED RULES OPTIONS. Try out rules for sidekicks, supernatural environments, natural hazards, and parleying with monsters, and gain guidance on running a session zero.
• A PLETHORA OF PUZZLES. Ready to be dropped into any D&D adventure, puzzles of varied difficulty await your adventurers, complete with traps and guidance on using the puzzles in a campaign.

Full of expanded content for players and Dungeon Masters alike, this book is a great addition to the Player's Handbook and the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Baked in you'll find more rule options for all the character classes in the Player's Handbook, including more subclass options. Thrown in for good measure is the artificer class, a master of magical invention. And this witch's brew wouldn't be complete without a dash of added artifacts, spellbook options, spells for both player characters and monsters, magical tattoos, group patrons, and other tasty goodies.

Here's the alternate cover:

Yep. And that’s ok. There is no one true way to interpret Star Wars.

the problem begins when you start thinking your interpretation is the Correct™ one.

 

[Remathilis]

The sequel trilogy throws a wrench in the whole thing, but VII and VIII work as a continuation of Luke’s story.

The sequel trilogy recontextualizes the whole Saga as the Rise and Fall of the Palpatine Legacy.

 

[Charlaquin]

the problem begins when you start thinking your interpretation is the Correct™ one.

My interpretation is correct for me. IV, V, II, III, VI, VII, VIII is a beautiful story about one man’s involvement in the ongoing struggle against fascism, who inspires the next generation to learn from his mistakes as he learned from the previous generation’s mistakes. For me, that’s a deeply powerful and inspiring story. For others it might not be. Art is subjective and everyone takes their own messages from it, and that’s a good thing.

Well... IX does that. I cut IX out of “my canon” because I think that’s dumb. If you like it though, more power to you.

 

[Cadence]

My interpretation is correct for me.

I did IV, V, VI for what I shared with my now 11yo. Might go with Rogue One at some point. III and VII feel odd for sharing with pre-teen to me :-/ I might change my views in a few years when (if) he decides he wants to see them all. That being said, he has seen the Lego versions of the prequels, so there might not be that many surprises. (I confess to not seeing IX or the Clonewars).

 

[ChaosOS]

Y'all why did you resurrect the Star Wars talk when this is the Tasha's thread?

 

[Remathilis]

Well... IX does that. I cut IX out of “my canon” because I think that’s dumb. If you like it though, more power to you.

My cannon has a simple rule: it only counts if the 20th Century Fox music plays before the main theme. The rest is fanfiction of various levels of quality.

 

[Remathilis]

Y'all why did you resurrect the Star Wars talk when this is the Tasha's thread?

For the laughs.

 

[Guest 6801328]

We have differing opinions on the Star Wars story then.

It seems to me the opinion you expressed wasn’t actually about the story, but about the motives of the the person/people who recommend machete order.

 

[Charlaquin]

Y'all why did you resurrect the Star Wars talk when this is the Tasha's thread?

Man, someone just quoted me out of the blue to say how the way I prefer to enjoy the series “only exists to poop on the prequels,” which I object to because the prequels are an essential part of the narrative as I read it. I’m just responding to what’s being said to me.
