    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    There's already a terrific RPG Transformers game via Renegade. It is more based on an Alternity/skill die system, but does use d20 for resolution.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Usually in the past few years, the illustrations in the books often had a hint of books that were upcoming ("Wanted: Kelek" in Tasha's foreshadowing Wytchlight and the Gymnasium picture foreshadowing Planescape). Have we seen anything in the likes of the 2024 books or Dragon Delves that might...

    D&D General The Quantum Ogre Dilemma

    Last night, I had the very same thing happen to me as a player and it upset me. It wasn't an Ogre, but a Werebear. Our group was traveling from the Healer's Hall to the town of Kingshold. As had happened for the past few sessions, our first encounter on the road was with a patrol known as...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    From the things I've read, it wasn't an accident. Gary deliberately wrote B2 to replace B1 primarily because Mike Carr was getting a 2% royalty on every sale of the adventure (rather than being paid a fixed sum for producing the module) and that was cutting into TSR's profits. I'm guessing as...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    Well, B2 - but we know what you mean. ;) It would be interesting to see what B1 - Into the Unknown would look like for 5E (outside of the OAR treatment).

    D&D General Blue on Blue (Goblins)

    Eh, why base an entire race/subrace on a color? /sarcasm I'd just like to see a whole book on psionics itself and a Dark Sun campaign to drop them in, personally. As for blue goblins I don't think they need to be broken out like the half-dozen elf races we've seen in past editions. Just...

    RPG Evolution: You Go First

    When I used to organize party order for my games, my preferred method was to have the rogue ahead of the group (enough that the party's clanking fighters didn't adversely affect stealth). The main group then had a melee fighter in front and in rear. Rear guard had to be on the highest alert as...

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    Eh, don't know why they just didn't go with Caltrops. As for the Ale prices, this place is on the Borderlands, so perhaps its more expensive here. It's not cheap to get this stuff into the Keep safely with all the banditry around or it being "confiscated" by the guards upon arrival!

    D&D General Monster Importance in Homebrews?

    Both. As @Edgar Ironpelt states, there might be some important to the formation of the world (such as in my "Dragons Must Die" campaign), or may come as custom creations borne out of play or just wanting something that fits the world (Like the Maughtley - dwarves who became minotaurs due to...

    D&D General Digital D&D Character Sheet

    Just went and played with it - I definitely like the looks of it. Also, so glad it has a dark mode off the bat! If you don't mind, a few screen shots from a test character (using 2014 rules)...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    I watched an in-depth unboxing that even went over the contents of the module (include differences with the original). You could scrap the premades and character "placemats" and it would still work - it would just then have components that I'd wished I had back in 198X with battlemats and...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    I would be curious on that. HeroQuest made $3,707,249 gross alone on preorders - that's nothing to sneeze at, not counting after sales or add-ons. At the mythic tier, that would have been at least 24,719 copies. Heroes of the Borderlands would have to sell 74,144 copies to match the dollar...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best third party campaign books - recommend me some

    I'm fond of B4 - The Lost City. Goodman Games treatment for 5E is really good as it not only includes the original B/X version, it expands and fills in the unfinished areas as well. From my understanding, it is a mini-campaign based on Robert E. Howard's Red Nails Conan story.

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

    Nah, needs to be Isle of Dread, showing how to do a hexcrawl-style expansion that is exploration driven instead of set-encounter play.
