Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 18:29:36 +0000

We’re getting close to the end of this packet, folks. It’s only been one (1) life-age of the Earth since I started! This time out, we’re doing rangers. PH Playtest 6: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Paladin, Ranger Ranger If you’re aware enough of D&D fandom to read this site – like even 1% aware of what’s up in D&D – you already know that the 5e.14 ranger is an incredibly controversial class. Slightly fewer of you know about the substantial changes offered in Tasha’s […]

Arcadia Issue 30 Breakdown

All art belongs to MCDM And so, after 30 whole issues of Arcadia, we finally reached the end. It was a pleasure to have you readers with me along the whole journey. I may have skipped one or two for one or other reason, but almost all Arcadia issues have been reviewed, and I can’t begin to comprehend how it is that they maintained such level of quality. Big props to all the people that work at MCDM and those […]

UA 2023 – Player’s Handbook Playtest 6 Breakdown, Part Five

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 25 Aug 2023 20:21:31 +0000

Illness and wanting to get that Glory of the Giants review posted have delayed my progress through this UA packet, but I’m back today, baby. Paladins, it’s your turn. PH Playtest 6: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Paladin Paladin The previous version of the paladin was just two packets ago, and in a way it’s amazing that much has changed. I was generally positive on that earlier version. No changes to the Hit Die, weapon, armor, skill, or saving throw baselines. Lay on Hands is […]

Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants Review

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 22:04:15 +0000

My review copy of Bigby’s Big Book of Big Bois is here, and for the first time in a long time, I’ve actually got a little time to write about a new release! (Okay, I’m still working my way through the last UA packet, whatever.) As you undoubtedly know, this book is intended to do for giants what Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons did for the scaly bois. The Elephant in the Room Just to get this out of the way: I […]

UA 2023 – Player’s Handbook 6 Playtest Breakdown, Part Four

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 00:32:48 +0000

Okay, we’re on to talking about Monks. As you undoubtedly know, this is the first draft of a new Monk we’ve seen in One D&D playtesting; other than the Artificer, which won’t be in the 2024 Player’s Handbook, it’s the only class still on its first round. Weird, Monks are usually better at Initiative than that! PH Playtest 6: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk Monk The 5e.14 Monk has always been a tough class for content design. On one hand, new moves for Monk […]

UA 2023 – Player’s Handbook Playtest 6 Breakdown, Part Three

Brandes Stoddard — Sat, 15 Jul 2023 01:24:32 +0000

This time around, it’s druids, along with a new Circle of the Moon and our first look at the Circles of Land and Sea. I had… not much good to say about the previous UA Druid. PH Playtest 6: Bard, Cleric, Druid Druid There’s a lot of change going on here, down to the fundamental playstyle options. Druidic, the feature name, teaches you the Druidic language, makes Speak with Animals always prepared (I like that quite a lot), and lets […]

UA 2023 – Player’s Handbook Playtest 6 Breakdown, Part Two

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 20:03:13 +0000

Onward to the cleric! You can find my article on the UA Bard here. As we go on, keep in mind that this is UA’s second shot at all of its classes except the Monk. Cleric For my comments on the previous iteration of the cleric, clicky clicky. Divine Order has dropped down to 1st level, as I suggested that the Holy Order feature (its predecessor) absolutely had to. They also trimmed out Scholar and shoved the most important piece […]

Arcadia Issue 29 Breakdown

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 13:00:44 +0000

All art belongs to MCDM A tiefling or demon with a shining red sword summoning a dark dragon…. EPIC! I am loving this cover, and easily inspires me to create some sort of general of this sort as a villain. We are rapidly coming to an end with Arcadia so let’s enjoy the few articles we still have left before the company decides to offer other monthly products. I know they will be just as rad as the ones from […]
