    Exploring Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    You stick that whole book on two pages and I'll believe you. Until then, just more hot air.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Well part of that problem TSR (and later WotC) brought upon themselves by trying to support a half dozen different settings while also keeping at least a veneer of compatibility between them. The other part was players expecting each setting to provide a unique experience compared to other...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Counterpoint: when was the last time a Bond film was culturally relevant? They have stuck stubbornly to the same formula (handsome while male actor, quippy dialogue, gadgets, Bond girl, supervillain with genius plan, title song, etc). The tropes were so well worn even the parodies have parodies...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Nitpick: Melf. Litteraly "Male Elf"

    My brother in Christ, NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO USE THE NEW ARTIFICER! Your Tasha guide is right there! I'm convinced at this point you are either doing shtick or are trolling. Either way, this conversation is going nowhere and nobody is biting on your false crusade against WotC.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer - First Impressions

    This confuses me. Eberron is too text dense. Spelljammer is too light. Is there any Goldilocks 5e settings?

    D&D 5E (2024) New Feats, avenues to diversity?

    Ever since Astarion's dropped, I've been looking at having a dhampir with love bites and treacherous allure and then pick either glamour bard or enchanter wizard and basically use the charmed condition to get advantage constantly. There is probably better ways to do that, but this seems so fun.

    Of course not. Only wizards are allowed to be good.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    You know, as I get older, I find myself less and less tolerant of continuity. In everything. Comics, TV, video games and ttprg settings. I hold that if you are doing something interesting and holding to the spirit, the small details don't matter. I was never a Dragonlance fan, so my knowledge...

    Exploring Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    Yes I care about things that cater to my interests. Why would I care about things that don't interest me? Nobody is forcing you to buy it or use it. Use the Tasha version if you want. Eberron runs just fine with the 2014 PHB and RftLW. Your books didn't crumble to dust. The legacy options still...

    Exploring Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    I mean, AD&D 1e to 2e and D&D 3e to 3.5 both give us some insight on what mixing "editions" can be like. It's not like this is unprecedented.

    Exploring Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    I don't use D&D Beyond. Therefore even if they patched the class on Beyond (which they weren't going to, considering they didn't with the PHB), what were they supposed to do for me? Resell me Rising From the Last War with updated mechanics? Release the update on a PDF for free? Let the...

    Exploring Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

    I'm thankful for that. I already own RftLW. (and Wayfarer's Guide, and the 3e ECS...) I didn't want another Eberron Setting book. If they did go that way, I was hoping they would either slap it onto Xen'drik OR onto an adventure path rather than yet another "here is Khorvaire, here is Sharn"...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Eberron was designed after AD&D with the racial assumptions of 3e (any class, any race). They have racial nations for every race in the 3e PHB. Hell, they have nations for goblinoids, orcs, and the other monstrous types. It lacks a defined nation for aasimar, tieflings, dragonborn and goliaths...
