    Wizards Hires Erin Roberts as Game Designer for D&D

    Luckily, Gene Roddenberry circa 1987 doesn't work at WOTC so interpersonal conflicts are fine.

    Wizards Hires Erin Roberts as Game Designer for D&D

    I feel a lot better about Chris and Jeremy's departure seeing that they're hiring a lot of new blood that's done good work. Still don't trust Hasbro not to find someway to screw it up, but fingers crossed!

    D&D 5E (2024) How Many HP Should 5E 2024 Minions Have

    Dungeons & Dragons Playtests Four New Mystic-Themed Subclasses

    A god doesn't die like a mortal creature dies. A god dies like a fire dies. It can be rekindled even after aeons.

    Dungeons & Dragons Playtests Four New Mystic-Themed Subclasses

    Is it? It's just a copy-paste of the Eldritch Knight 18th level feature with 'wizard' changed to 'sorcerer', and that feature does exactly what it sounds like: Replace 2 of the Fighter's 3 or 4 attacks with a spell. The problem is that Monks don't get more than 2 attacks with their attack...

    I thought you were being hyperbolic but holy crap.

    Penguin Random House Announces New D&D Romantasy Book

    I notice the blurb only uses 'they' pronouns for the main character. It's cool to see nonbinary rep, but I'm not actually sure how much crossover appeal this will have with the romantasy fanbase, which seems largely interested in cookie-cutter hetero romances between small women and large men.

    D&D General Unprofessional spoilers: it's not like it was hard to figure out but still...

    Yeah. There's a sliding scale of tension vs apathy. If the players feel like they're one mistake away from death, you're golden. But if they feel like failure is the only possible outcome then you risk tension being replaced by boredom and disinterest.

    D&D General Unprofessional spoilers: it's not like it was hard to figure out but still...

    I mean, it kind of sucks but it's not like Strahd being a vampire is a secret. Divine Sense having that spoiler isn't true in the 2024 PHB, incidentally. The 2014 Player's Handbook wasn't written with new players in mind, not really. It was a Hail Mary designed to draw back people who had...

    D&D 5E (2024) Where Would You Place A Bastion?

    Maybe on the coast between Juniril and Hultail. No particular reason, I just like lakes.

    D&D General Should I leave my friend's Spelljammer game?

    Yeah. You have good reasons to use your time elsewise and you're uncomfortable with the lewd content. Those are reason enough, but if the combat is such a slog you're not even having fun then you have even less incentive to stay.

    D&D General When did Kwalish go from Human to Gnome?

    Bigby is the one who was canonically human but reincarnated as a gnome. Kwalish's heritage was never established until LLK.

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Neat. Though talorien did say they wanted monsters and this doesn't have any.

    D&D 5E (2024) A fix for advantage/disadvantage stacking

    I think my core concern with this idea is that the d20 is already a very swingy die and priviliging the bigger diversion from the median makes the game even more unpredictible. If you're okay with that, then by all means give it a try.
