    D&D General People make amazing D&D Art

    Updated the Tiefling Bard's token following some events, and added a Goblin Artificer to the game. The goblin player requested the character's appearance be based on Fumbus from Pathfinder rather than a D&D goblin. An emoji for a guest player's character in a different game.

    Dungeons & Dragons releases Villainous Options playtest

    Sign me up for the "I become my choice of King Kong, Godzilla (actually I guess this is more of a kraken), or Mothra every time I Wild Shape" druid. I wonder if the Soth art shown on the timeline is actually for the Death Knight path?

    D&D 5E (2024) War Priest bonus action without War Caster Feat

    Yeah I think I'm going with this, thanks lol. Also you and @Zardnaar will be delighted to know my party has both a War Cleric and a Dance Bard! It's a very powerful party, I'm sure. Thank you for explaining. I think I have some disagreement with the Sage Advice, but I'm just going to make it...

    D&D 5E (2024) War Priest bonus action without War Caster Feat

    I wasn't really thinking about Material and Somatic together, just that the Somatic component seemingly requires a free hand, except if the user takes War Caster. Somatic Component: A Somatic component is a forceful gesticulation or an intricate set of gestures. A spellcaster must use at least...

    D&D 5E (2024) War Priest bonus action without War Caster Feat

    My War Cleric asked me how his domain bonus action War Priest interacts with casting of spells. He did not pick the War Caster feat, so I'm trying to work out what this means for him. I feel I have gone down a rabbit hole. I want to check if I know what I'm talking about before I go back to him...

    Dragonlance [Let's Read] The Test of High Sorcery, a CYOA Dragonlance Adventure

    The OP alerted me to this module existing and is very thorough, so I thought I'd follow up with my experience going through this module with my Bard player. Short version: Buy this and run it for your arcane caster if you are using Dragonlance! Bard's Test results She chose the Red Robes of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    That is the actual playtime. I record the sessions so I just added up the recording times. I do include the players' recap of the previous session in the recording, but I would say that's 1-5 minutes. I also checked how much time they spent on each floor. Pardon my rounding. 7% - Floor 1 9% -...

    D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

    Finished The Lost City yesterday. My players really enjoyed the Zargon social encounter. Instead of having to give any treasure to him, they outwitted him and evaded a couple attacks to make their escape. I also had a pinch-hitter for the final floor because of some scheduling uncertainties...

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons Encyclopedia - new product

    Shadow of the Dragon Queen had a kinda weird summary of Soth's story. I guess I can give this book points for relaying as many gory details as possible. Great story for the kids. 😂

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

    I think they should be brave and add a Solamnic Knight mustache to that gooey Soth head. The Nosferatu remake was in 2024, crazy undead mustaches are back in!* *Though I actually recall a large number of people hating the mustache in Nosferatu...

    Why do so many campaigns never finish? Genuinely curious what others think

    It was a second Session Zero so we could discuss expectations as the campaign resumed.

    Why do so many campaigns never finish? Genuinely curious what others think

    The DM did burn out in 2021 so there was a ~1.5-year break. Then we picked back up and, well, this is our progress. We just added a new player. He will be introducing his character on Saturday. The "2-" is because this is Arc 2 of the campaign. There was also an Arc 1. The DM believes we will...

    D&D 5E (2024) So What Is Winter's Mysterious D&D "Season of Champions"?

    I figured Lord Soth was there because of his brief stint as a Dark Lord, meaning he will have a section in the Ravenloft book. But he is also positioned at the intersection of MORE TO COME and TO BE ANNOUNCED which is very unfair to my predictive ability. He is also cropped from a larger...

    Check Out This Early Arcana Unleashed Artwork

    The staff made me laugh because yesterday I was looking up some Common magic items to put in a shop for my players and this is one that I found. I decided to not put that one in the shop because it was too silly. The Dread Helm however is definitely not silly, and will be very available for...
