So, I’m hearing, “ask at your LGS just in case”?

Same, I’ve never gotten the alternate art covers despite liking a lot of them because they wouldn’t match with the standard ones I already had in my collection. But, now that the revised core books are coming out, it’s a good opportunity to not need to worry about them matching. For those of...

Arguably, the only classes that are truly necessary are fighter and magic user. The question one has to answer is why have more classes? In D&D, the answer is mostly “because a previous edition had it,” and if you follow that chain back far enough, you hit the bedrock of “because someone in Gary...

It’s a special edition printing that’s exclusive to LGSs. That’s not going to be how most new players get exposed to the game for the first time. It might happen to someone, somewhere, but it should be infrequent enough and the consequences minor enough not to be something I think WotC needs to...

Well, sure, but I’m not someone who saw the book cover and bought it because that’s the kind of fantasy I want to play. I’m someone who is very familiar with 5th edition D&D, and has a pretty good idea of what changes the 5e revisions are going to bring to it, and intends to buy the book for...

🤷‍♀️ I’m of the “run the game you would want to play in, and the audience who wants that kind of game will find you” school of thought. I would enjoy a mellow campaign, and I think I could pull it off in D&D. Again, it’s certainly not what I typically expect from D&D. But, unexpected can be fun...

I’m not sure such a tone necessarily requires rules support. It’s definitely not the tone I would typically expect from D&D, but I don’t think it’s outside the scope of what could be done within D&D’s framework.

Understandable. But, I don’t know, D&D doesn’t necessarily need to be full of bombast. This image could be a nice tone-setter for a more mellow, intimate campaign.

Yeah, it’s not exactly melancholy (which is why I said “almost,”) but… maybe “wistful” would be a better term for it? “Contemplative?” I dunno, there’s a quiet calmness to it that appeals to me a great deal.

It is? Wow, the hands are remarkably un-nightmarish.

Psst, @Reynard that’s a snazzy new look you’ve got there 😉

I don’t claim they aren’t similar to hobbits, only that they are distinct in a number of ways. No, I’m pretty sure it’s an internal resource. But you can see it in the halfling art direction - large heads, small feet, slightly shortened limbs, generally higher body fat percentage than is...

One person’s “drab” is another person’s “tastefully understated.”

The new core books are supposed to be packed with a bunch more art than the old ones too, which I’m very excited for.

I don’t see the resemblance…

EDIT: Ok, I misunderstood what you were saying, nevermind.

I say you can use any of the three methods in the PHB: array, point buy, or 4d6 drop lowest, arrange as desired. If you choose to roll, you must keep the results of your rolls.

I mean, multiple checks works fine. But it’s weird that the two boxes I’ll be checking are mutually exclusive with each other.

I mean, I know that, but that doesn’t stop it from being weird that there is usually not an option for mixed white and latina, which is what I consider myself. Claiming either not latina or not white feels wrong. Sometimes you can check multiple boxes, in which case I’ll just check both and let...

In my experience there are usually options for “White (not Hispanic/Latino)” and “Hispanic/Latino (not white)”, which has always left me uncertain how to respond, being white and 1/4 Puerto-Rican.
