    D&D (2024) The Unrealized Barbarian Nerf.

    So the D&D 2024/1D&D/5.5e/Anniversary playtest Barbarian is here, and it is, so far, the least talked about changes of its packet. Arguably the biggest change to the Barbarian lies in the Weapon tables changes, granting weapons extra riders when you attack. Which says a lot about the rest of...

    D&D (2024) The Build a Beast Workshop.

    There has been much discussion about the D&D playtest Druid as of late. Mostly regarding the new Wildshape. To explain why it's being changed, Wildshape, in its current 5e form, has some big problems. Firstly, it’s a lot of bookkeeping. There are over 200 stat blocks that Druid players and...

    D&D (2024) -5/+10 feats and their future.

    We all now about Sharpshooter and Great Weapon Master by this point. We also know that because they are not currently "half feats" (feats that grant a +1 ASI) that they could count as level 1 feats for 1D&D. I honestly think they should just remove the feats and give all Martials the ability...

    D&D (2024) The problem with weapon damage resistances.

    While reading up on all the changes to monsters for the 5.5 edition, or whatever they are going to call it, it occurred to me that the default way that 5e handles monsters who have a weakness to special material weapons, like devils and their aversion to silver, isn't handled to the best of the...

A set of 3 books intended to be used as supplementary materials to the core trio of 5th edition rulebooks (the Player’s Handbook, Monster Manual, and Dungeon Master's Guide, for...

    D&D 5E What level do you like to start at?

    Well the latest season of Critical Role just started started today and they started at And though I know this question gets asked on the regular, with the impending "5.5e", I feel it's a good time to ask again: What level you you like to start at? Or perhaps more accurately, which level do...

    Unearthed Arcana Why UA Psionics are never going to work in 5e.

    To start off with, I will remind everyone about Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Unearthed Arcana: It's a series of articles that provide the internet at large playtest material for 5e. After a publishing a PDF and waiting for a irregular period of time, the 5e Game Devs at Wizards of the Coast...

    Cats: A review by someone who knew nothing before seeing it.

    Warning: I'm spoiling the heck out of this movie. Disclaimer: I'm not big into musicals. I find it harder than it should be to figure out what people are saying when they are singing. Possibly due to slight hearing loss. There are a number of people online who say that the movie has no...

    D&D 5E Which UA subclasses do you think will make it this time?

    The approval rate needed for UA material to become official is 70% or so. Meaning 70% of the playertester base has to like it before it can potentially see a book. Otherwise the idea is scrapped, though individual abilities or parts of ideas that test well might be cannibalized for future UAs...

    D&D 5E The Consolidated List of Psionic UA Subclass Options.

    Because of the most recent UA, people are worried about the Mystic/Psion being dropped in favor of it becoming a Wizard Subclass. Any truth to this would be a half truth. Yes there would be a Wizard subclass, but there are also a bunch of other subclasses that would also be psionic too, and I...

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond: Updated Character Popularity

    In the latest D&D Beyond broadcast, they updated the lists for the most popular character classes and races on the platform. Out of 8.8 Million characters(!), and apparently "'Paid VS non-Paid' doesn't alter this dramatically, at all."
