Then I want 6e to be a 3d holodeck created by hyper intelligent AI. Rules for imagination are so 20th century.

Not sure I explained it right, but I'm assuming anything we didn't get a second take at was either strong green OR strong red. We didn't get the psi warper because it was already good, but we also didn't get a second pdk either. So I'm assuming most of the stuff will be green and make it to...

I would've agreed with you a few months ago. But I don't know how far they want to stretch the notion that 14 to 24 only constitutes a half change. Will 34 be 5.75? Will 44 be 5.9666 repeating? How much has to change to qualify as 6e? That's my biggest problem with going back to the .5 moniker.

Its worth considering the UAs that haven't made final products yet (so ignoring the Artificer/Eberron and Forgotten Realms ones) Horror came out May 2025. We can assume most of that UA will go into Ravenloft (June 16th, 2026) Psion also came out in May 2025 and revised in October. The...

I don't imagine we will see any major deviations of the core 5e kernel. We may seen redone classes and species, variations on the spell system, stuff like that. But I think D&D has moved past major redesign era changes. Then again, the fact they resigned to calling the new books a half-edition...

I hope not. I never liked the custody battle his inclusion in Ravenloft created. I'd rather him remain a part of Dragonlance lore and ignore his Ravenloft time. (I especially hate how he left. The Dark Powers just let him go because they couldn't torment him? That is the most ridiculous...

I wager that a lot more people will be interested in the player options than the module. The biggest problem with the Slipcase sets was players wanted the PC info but couldn't get it without buying the module and bestiary.

Nathan Timothy: "Am I a joke to you?"

I think it's a better question to ask what Cthulhu's domain will be like.

Yes. His latest. Quickstone has a Western feel, so there is a definite feel of "protect the town" to it. However, it's a very specific strand of D&D (a Western set in Eberron) so while wonderful, I don't know how much it translates out of it's specific niche.

It's also worth noting that Frontiers of Eberron: Quickstone has a campaign model called Home & Hearth that focuses on the PCs being part of the community. Your PC isn't just a cleric, he's the town preacher. Unfortunately, it doesn't do much with it but give ideas on how PCs can be prominent in...

The Below part suffers from a tonal shift and classic WotC writing issues, but it's an example of an multi-level campaign centered around a single town being viable in 5e. The players come to town, disrupt bandits and cultists, explore local ruins and places, fend off mind goblins (heh) and...

I always answer these questions with "any version of D&D can work if you build to it's strengths." For example: Phandevler and Below has its flaws but it makes a 12 level campaign centered on a single town, from stopping some bandits all the way to stopping a planar incursion happening just...

Certainly A tradition, and one that some people like. And for them I got no problem giving Tiamat or Chthulu stats. Follow your bliss

I do have a character whose final words were "screw you, what's Thor's Armor Class?"

You could make the argument Orcus, Tiamat and Vecna shouldn't either, but here we are.

The only official domain I could argue you could get away with it in is Classic Darkon. It's massive, has dozens of towns and cities, a variety of biomes, and enough stuff to do you could theoretically adventure for a while without worrying about Azalin. However, it's pretty well known and the...

You can. I find that Ravenloft (and really, any campaign setting) works best with player buy in. Horror is something a player has to be comfortable with and they have to be willing to play in a setting like Ravenloft. I'm sure if you pitched the game as a horror game and slowly pulled back the...

My own Ravenloft game used the Dark Powers as Fears setup, but I made many Dark Lords oblivious to the fact they are being used. A few have greater knowledge (like Strahd) but most serve a particular fear in blissful ignorance. The Vestiges of the Amber Temple and other certain actors (like the...
