I would place the MM main and alternate on equal footing, but I like the alternates better of the other 2. Especially the DMG, as I'm not really a fan of how the DMG cover is composed.

You know if you're going to put one villain from BG3 on a Monster Manual cover, the Emperor is a good choice.

Oh did Llama's take on the class do that? I was aware it existed but hadn't read it.

@Dire Bare They kind of tore down any walls that were left when they put the SRD into creative commons, other than particular setting IP.

I have both written and seen someone else make a version of a Swordmage/Magus that uses it. I think it's a good idea that could be applied to more archetypes to vary class design a bit. It's strange to have multiple martial/caster/half-caster progression classes but only one Warlock-esque. For...

The fact that this competing against yourself has worked in other industries isn't relevant because TTRPGs aren't other industries. A small niche hobbiest industry isn't luxury cars or sodas or Madden, and even though D&D is more popular than it has ever been it's still small potatoes compared...

Honestly I think the most 'support' we're going to get for the past editions, besides selling them on DMs Guild, is releasing SRDs for them into creative commons, assuming they make good on that promise from last year. Fourth Edition in particular would benefit a lot from the tools that could...

There's a difference. Those markets are enormous compared to TTRPGs, and those items are consumed constantly and quickly. A TTRPG product can take months or even years to full 'consume'.

I don't think there's a 'right' number of classes in general but for the core game and supportable by WOTC I can't see consistent support for more than 20 or so without some getting seriously short-changed. Even 5E with just 13 core classes tends to favor some over the others.

The problem in the short term is that corporations are always looking for ways to pay less to produce the same amount of product or more, regardless of quality, and screw people in the field out of pay. When people like Zazlav and Strauss Zelnick are running corporations I really cannot blame...

I like it. It takes into account the passage of time since 2E, gives us stakes and villains to face, centers a dragon at the head of the villain hierarchy, but doesn't erase everything that came before.

Structurally speaking the inciting incident of the first Star Wars is... well, Rogue One. It opens on the rising action that is the pursuit of the stolen data.

Awesome, give the artist my regards. Also looking forward to the book. I had no idea you were planning something like this.

Considering my homebrew setting's core conceit is the planet exploded that is startlingly accurate.

Liam, Tal, and Sam are almost 50! They're tail end Gen X!

The fact that there are about 6 different things my brain went to trying to figure out what the red great wyrm is before I realized it was is both depressing and hilarious. Deprarious, as Mr. Popo might say.

I mean we are talking about a cosmology where an infinitely tall mountain or spire is a thing that can apparently exist. It doesn't have to make sense by real world logical standards.

I mean 2d6 still averages 7 damage which is enough to drop the average person.

That's a good way of looking at it. In that case, I think the solution is to narrate fall damage just as you would anything else. If you roll low, then maybe the falling creature caught an updraft that slowed them just enough, or snagged on a branch, or hit a slope that redirected some of the force.

I keep asking how old you lot think we are because people keep applying Gen Z stereotypes to Millenials. Everyone knows that Millenials are the most murderous generation: we kill every type of industry and small business imaginable because we don't have any friggin money to spend on them.
