    That is the risk, the possible power-breaker combo by munchkins. Path of the bloodsucker and therian in the future? What is the difference between vrylokas (PC specie from 4e "Heroes of the Shadow" and dhampirs? * "Survivor" classes weren't designed for power balance but a faster creation and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's Talk About Guns in 5E

    And what if any spellcaster or artificer created a motor or artificial muscles to reload crossbows? Usually we imagine PCs with guns shooting against animals, gladiators and some archer but nobody stops to think what happens when the campaing is about PCs from lower-tech-level civilitation...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's Talk About Guns in 5E

    And we can't forget some factions don't want firearms can break the power balance: war deities, lord feys, giants, dragons, rival kings.. Some powers could sell relatively cheap "anti-ballistic magic defenses" not to earn money but to "sabotage" the fireams in the battlefield, avoiding these...

    D&D General There's a 4-part Ravenloft comic book series coming

    I knew Ravenloft as subfranchise has got a lot of potential brand power. * I had forgotten Dark Horse publishing has got some experience with the manga genre. * Off-topic: Doese anybody remember the "Misty", the female soft horror comic serie?

    AI/LLMs Plagiarism vs. Inspiration

    Plagiarism as crime is when you try to earn money. If you use AI for some homebrew idea, for example a PC specie inspired some famous IP you can publish it as amateur art or fan-fiction. When it is showed in the right way it is not plagiarism but homage. It may be plagiarism when you don't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Let's Talk About Guns in 5E

    My fear is if firearms are added then players wouldn't want to play with barbarians, monks or other classes too focused into hand-to-hand combat. A possible solution could be to add bulletproof enemies what had to be killed "in the old way". Other point is when the enemies are the shooters and...

    Ravenloft: The Horrors Within Announced, Release Date Scheduled for June 2026

    Ravenloft can be very grimm or soft horror according DMs preferences. There is even space for the horror+dark comedy hybrid. Sometimes it's even more terrifying to mix it with cruel humor.

    Druid circle of titan sounds like a good idea to sell toys. I suggest to show some picture of kaiju-like monsters inspired in the forgotten Inhumanoids franchise. Could we watch an artificer subclass inspired into Robotix? I also suspect about a future updated book of vile Darkness. I don't...

    D&D 5E (2024) Building A Contemporary Fantasy Setting For 5.5E

    Some times when I see some characters from videogames I wonder how would be the D&D version but shooters could break the balance. And some players and DMs could create homemade low-level antiballistic magic against gunpowders. For example illusory magic working like smoking grenades or...

    D&D 5E (2024) DnD 5e designer [Mike Mearls] explains how INDIE RPGs are taking over

    You shouldn't forget the international market. D&D has been like a icebreaker ship opening a new path. Only a smaller number of TTRPGs have been translated into other languages. Indie developers bring fresh and new ideas but don't have the same level of brand power

    D&D 5E (2024) Building A Contemporary Fantasy Setting For 5.5E

    I suspect the stats of vehicles from "d20 Modern" shouldn't be difficult to be updated to 5.5e but in some campaigns, fuel supply could be a serious problem. Other point could be possible secret ultratech like James Bond's gadgets created by Q division. And the level of challenge varies...

    I have looked for more information and we have got the example of the artwork "A Single Piece of American Cheese" but we have got also the cases Zarya of the Dawn (2023) (Graphic novelist Kristina Kashtanova used Midjourney to generate images. USCO protected the text, selection, coordination...
