    Level Up (A5E) Help me understand the point of the Garoul gift Lupine Ascension

    I don't care to go into specifics because it is intentionally open-ended. A wolf can do different things than a person. If you want to look at a wolf's statblock, you can find it here: Wolf | Level Up I notice it has Pack Tactics, higher speed, keen senses, and its bite drags people prone. As...

    D&D General D&D AI Fail

    I regret to inform you that you'll be waiting for Alan Turing for a long time. He ate a poison apple in 1954 and died.

    Level Up (A5E) Help me understand the point of the Garoul gift Lupine Ascension

    And as the designer, let me say that I'm fine with that. It is a utility that clever players will use well even at high level. It is not intended to be a primary attack.

    Voidrunner Introducing the Voidrunner’s Codex!

    Nature, according to the AG, also includes specialties we would consider Earth Science and astronomy.

    D&D General D&D AI Fail

    D&D General D&D AI Fail

    X markets Grok as a "humorous assistant." About X Premium I wonder what the punch line is supposed to be exactly.

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    Re: Cynthia Willam's departure, I always wondered whether she wrote that infamous line: I guess we'll never know.

    RPG Evolution: The AI DM in Action

    I feel like this is a good moment to say that there are a lot of high quality pro DMs on startplaying.games, including myself. If you want to fight the AI takeover of our hobby AND play more, it might be worth looking into.

    Into The Wyrd And Wild Makes The Woods Weird

    I picked this up without even finishing the review---no regrets! This is a fabulous resource. I only wish I could get a physical print version!

    D&D (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

    TY, and I agree. Still, at what level does a wizard learn to wield their gear telekinetically? A power this cool, useful, and represented by the art shouldn't just be flavor. (WotC, you can send me my designer fee later! :D )

    D&D (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

    I love the design and the art is wonderful. But it strikes me as very "Overwatch." I would enjoy it as a MTG planeswalker card.

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    That's pretty telling.

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    I like the idea of 32 distinct dungeons! I wonder, just from a math perspective, how they will be able to keep these dungeons challenging while both prevent the players from over-leveling and keeping the XP rules as they are.
