Arcadia Issue 22 Breakdown

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 14:00:10 +0000

All art belongs to MCDM Will Doyle comes back from tabletop designing retirement to impress us with his ways of soloing a D&D adventure. In this article, he offers three new classes, made for games with one GM and one player. Attempting to use these classes with other PCs in your party will result in this heroic champion being way too overpowered. Consider that these classes are made to be as powerful as 4 PCs. These are the heroic warrior, […]

Monsters of the Multiverse Breakdown, Part Two

Brandes Stoddard — Mon, 14 Feb 2022 21:52:34 +0000

In the first article in this series, I covered about a third of the races in MotM. Today I’m hoping to repeat that trick, because it’s a lot of races. As a reminder, I’m doing as much line-by-line comparison to their earlier versions as I can, but I’m going to miss stuff. It’s okay to let me know. Part One: Aarakocra – Genasi | Part Two Githyanki The gith are a specific case of a race that might not need […]

Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse Breakdown, Part 1

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 04 Feb 2022 17:57:20 +0000

With that mouthful of a title, I’m kicking off a deep dive into the newest book from WotC, which I received as a review copy in the recent gift set. In this case, I’m well aware that more readers than usual won’t have first-hand access to the text, so while I won’t be copying rules into the review, I’ll be going for explaining a little more than usual. For many book lovers who adore WotC merchandise, this new book may […]

UA 2021: Travelers of the Multiverse Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 14:19:18 +0000

Hey, ICYMI, the miniature giant space hamster special cover they teased in the Future of D&D panel? It’s Spelljimmy. Spelljamster Confirmed. Also, here’s some Hamsjammer races for public playtesting! Six, to be specific. Someone pour some spell slots into this here helm and let’s go. New Developments First up, there’s some text that is going to become boilerplate to us, but it’s dealing with WotC’s evolving approach to races in D&D. We’re already familiar with their “do whatever you want […]

Arcadia Issue 3 Breakdown

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 18:02:47 +0000

All art belongs to MCDM Right before March finishes James Introcaso surprised me with another early copy of Arcadia. This is a big one! Again, we have 4 different contents as we had in the first issue. As James specifies in his Letter from the Editor this is the third and last issue from the three they planned to test the waters. They wanted to release just three issues at first to know if people were interested in a magazine […]

Unearthed Arcana 2021: Folk of the Feywild Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 18:06:04 +0000

There’s a new collection of Feywild (not all of them fey) races in the new Unearthed Arcana document, continuing the vein of new player races we last saw in Gothic Lineages. There are four new player races here, and every one of them came as a surprise to me in one way or other. I want to establish up front, though, that me making jokes about the fourth of those races won’t be a rare bit. The byline for this […]

Unearthed Arcana 2021: Gothic Lineages Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 26 Jan 2021 22:39:12 +0000

Oh hey, there’s a new Unearthed Arcana release today, the first of 2021! It’s giving us three new races lineages and signaling the future of lineage design for 5e, with the dhampir, hexblood, and reborn. There’s also a substantive lead-in and sidebar discussing the new ways we’ll see lineages presented, which I’ll cover first. The byline here names F. Wesley Schneider, Ben Petrisor, and Jeremy Crawford, with input from the rest of the design team. First Things First The intro […]

Brief description of Theros’ Races & Subraces (Ideal to Show to your Players)

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 13:00:49 +0000

Thumbnail art by Wizards of the Coast With the release of Mythic Odysseys of Theros we got both new races and subclasses. From those races implemented in the book, only two of them are entirely new. Thus, both of these may not be allowed in all campaign settings to be played. Make sure to talk with your DM before choosing. They carry greatly that theme of Greek mythology Theros is all about. PS: Note that not all races are allowed […]

Mythic Odysseys of Theros Breakdown, Part One

Brandes Stoddard — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 13:00:47 +0000

Okay, yes, I could have written this way back when its text dropped on D&D Beyond, but as it turns out, my brain just does not want to work through the DDB text for breakdowns. DDB is great – I like it for literally everything but this. Anyway, it’s a MOoT point now. …nailed it. Part One | Part Two Welcome to Theros As usual, I’m going pretty quick through the setting material. I’ve seen some great commentary on how Theros’s […]

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 14:00:33 +0000

Thumbnail art by Wizards of the Coast So… We finally got the Eberron official release we long waited for. With it, several new player choices arrived. It’s time to put these articles up to date by adding in the new content. Thus, I present to you the Eberron races and variant races. The races and subraces I am about to list were made to be played in the Eberron campaign setting, due to how the lore works in that world. […]
