On my way to watch Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves for the first time, I remembered that I hadn’t finished reading through Thay: Land of the Red Wizards. The product is a DM’s Guild product written by Alex Kammer, Alan Patrick, and the creator of the Forgotten Realms, Ed Greenwood. One of my favorite AD&D 2e products was the

I wanted to pull together some information on all the different versions of D&D 5e that are currently in production. And by D&D 5e, I mean, obviously, games that use the 5e OGL as their basis, since nobody but WotC gets to put out an “official” version of the game.

Not only is there a lot of playtesting, across multiple games, doing similar things in different ways, but a lot of this design has my head spinning and wanting to do a deeper dive into why some of this design is trending. That means it takes me a little bit

Okay, let’s tackle the next part of the recent Unearthed Arcana 2023 Player’s Handbook: Druid & Paladin. We touched on Druids in the last post, so I swear a sacred Oath that I will now cover the Paladin! Let’s smite this thing. Dead Levels and the Commentators Who Reference Them I received a few comments about the terminology of “dead

Yes, I’m lagging behind with this First Impression of the most recent Unearthed Arcana in the One D&D Playtest. Not only did I get busy breaking down the individual chapters in Keys from the Golden Vault, but it was also a bit of a challenge getting back in the swing of One D&D after the January of Broken Dreams.
