Putting in another plot hint in the next issue of the in-universe newspaper and I couldn't resist a blatant Edgar Allen Poe reference.
Madame Talisveri is actually all of her "family members" using various disguises. She was turned invisible by a curse and uses elaborate stage craft to pretend to be different people.
The fact that I mentioned Talisveri first is supposed to be a huge clue that it's all bullshit.
I finished reading the 5e D&D Oz book last night. Quite frankly, I kind of struggled to finish it. Don't get me wrong, it's clearly written and the art/layout is beautiful, but it's dull, especially when describing the city state's neighborhoods.
#Echsenmenschen gehören mit ihrer Reptiliennatur zu den fremdartigsten Völkern der #Fantasy. Was könnte so ein Volk für Bräuche haben, die ihrer Natur entsprechen? Ein paar Möglichkeiten bietet die heutige #Zufallstabelle!
I don't understand Adversarial DMing. I'm not trying to kill the PCs every encounter. The more often they succeed the longer the campaign lasts and the cooler stuff I can create. It's a win-win.
CHALLENGING the PCs is different & integral to the game being fun long term #dnd5e
Listen, I'm as over 5e as the next person, but my local LEGO store asked me to DM a game night in conjunction with the new D&D LEGO set, and well, I can't exactly say no to that, can I?
This part of the ICV2 analysis of the hobby game channel falling off in sales is strange to me. Were there people saying "I wanted to get the most recent release but they just can't pull box office?" If movie box office negates sales, why doesn't video game sales increase them?
Just to clarify, I'm not saying sales AREN'T down, just that this felt like some strange speculation.
Me: I hope throwing a vampire spawn at the level 4 party won't be too much for them.
Said vampire spawn: gets shatter cast on him, rolls a 1 on his Con save and not only takes full damage but gets blown off the roof and into a pile of crates that we decided were full of rotten eggs
If you play @dnd_advleague, I’m running an open table west marches campaign—every AL legal Underdark adventure seeded into one big map. Drop in when you can, unlock new locations, quests, and use your renown to shape the Underdark as a dynamic setting! #dnd#dnd5e
Guten Morgen, meine lieben Mitmenschen! Gestern war der #Gratisrollenspieltag und heute gehts mit #DnD5e weiter. Meine Stimme hat zwar ein wenig gelitten, aber ich freue mich schon auf die #pnpde Session.
Habt einen angenehmen Sonntag und lasst euch nicht ärgern. ☕🌞☘️
More from the in-universe newspaper from my #DnD5e#Darkon campaign. It's a single image but image descriptions have a character limit so I split it in two.
Grade ist das Goodie-Paket zum 50ten Jubiläum von #DnD angekommen! Inklusive Flugticket zur #50thCelebration im #WotC-HQ in Renton! 🤩 Es wird eine Führung durch die Büros geben und wohl auch Gelegenheit Perkins, Crawford et al zu treffen. Die Feier wird von einem fünftägigen Streamingprogramm begleitet bei dem #DnD50e (!!!) gefeiert wird. Ich winke dann mal in die Kamera! 😎
Wie was, ich bin eingeschlafen?! Es gibt gar keine Feier zum 50ten Jubiläum?!
Hasbro schaffen es halt einfach nicht sympathisch zu werden. Chris Cocks. (CEO) im Interview zum Thema AI:
„First off, we’re doing R&D efforts around AI.
[…]
D&D has 50 years of content that we can mine. Literally thousands of adventures that we’ve created, probably tens of millions of words we own and can leverage. Magic: The Gathering has been around for 35 years, more than 15,000 cards we can use in something like that.“
I wonder if the board game aspect of the Dragonlance adventure hurt sales. I don't mean, if the game iteself didn't sell, or even if the bundles with the game didn't sell, but if the book itself would have sold better if the board game never existed.
I can't help but think, even if boardgame wasn't required for the adventure, people felt like it would be incomplete without it, and they weren't interested in the boardgame, so they even skipped the "book only" option.
