Today, I’ll be bringing you quotes from Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, since it’s sort of an ur-text for the whole concept. It also explains how hard it is to have a new idea in game design: “There’s nothing wise and nothing silly wasn’t thought of long ago.” Barbarian | Fighter | Sorcerer | Warlock Warlock I have a long history of opinions on this class, and I’ve made […]

So, you know, life. Anyway, last time I covered everything up to the Fighter class and Champion subclass, and that brings us to the Sorcerer. It will be absolutely necessary to examine the new Sorcerer-only spells in the first part to get a sense of what this class even means; likewise for the Warlock […]

However, what we received in exchange was content from some of my favorite content creators! This issue definitely won’t disappoint, but let’s examine it in detail, shall we? What about James’ letter though? This one was an interesting one for me! It focuses on telling people to try out other games besides D&D to improve their games. I definitely agree with […]

I was obligated to write this!) to bring you the latest breakdown from Arcadia. This one is quite different from the past ones in a few ways I’ll be detailing. The constant within this and the previous ones is that you won’t want to miss this issue either! As James indicates in his letter from the editor, September’s issue is […]

After surfing the web for a while, I could not find any place in which all the classes and subclasses were briefly explained for a quick read. What I want to create is 4 […]

Anyway, this time I’ll be looking at sorcerers and warlocks; they’re a particularly exciting set in this book because they represent a pivot in WotC’s approach to those classes. I can’t state this strongly enough: if you’re working in freelance subclass design, you need to be studying what’s going on here on a bunch of levels.
