Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It doesn't appear that it's really an actual 6E, but rather an "evolving" version of 5E which it will be backwards compatible with. One D&D includes a new virtual tabletop and digital book bundles WWW.POLYGON.COM The first playtest is available now D&D 6th Edition announced (but they're calling it One D&D for now) | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Don't panic: the new One D&D rules will be wholly backwards compatible with D&D 5th Edition.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Also announced today: D&D is reviving Planescape with a three-volume boxed set, coming in 2023 WWW.POLYGON.COM The release schedule includes a book focused on giants and a new Phandelver campaign Quote Dungeons & Dragons used a Tuesday press conference to tease a packed release schedule, which includes the return of the Planescape campaign setting in fall 2023. The beloved setting, first published in 1994, will be getting the same treatment Wizards of the Coast provided with Spelljammer: Adventures in Space: a three-book slipcase including a setting guide, bestiary, and adventure campaign. The setting of the classic PC game Planescape: Torment, Planescape digs into D&D’s deep cosmology by allowing players to hop between different planes. These include other traditional D&D settings on the Material Planes, the Inner Planes, which represent elemental forces, and the Outer Planes ruled by gods, angels and demons. The city of Sigil serves as a hub for interplanar travel and is itself a rich setting with complex factions and a mysterious ruler known as the Lady of Pain. Players are encouraged to join one of the 15 factions which are united by a philosophy on the meaning of life. For instance, the Society of Sensation believes that enlightenment is achieved through experiences. Members use magic to store their memories so that others can experience them. The Harmonium police Sigil because they believe that they should rule all of reality to provide peace and stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty unnecessary. The only thing that I really like from this is expanding backgrounds and making them really matter. I honestly just wanted some nore backgrounds, more feats, and maybe some expansion on weapons/ shields. My hope is they don’t try to over complicate the game like Pathfinder and keep the game simple.

I do not need four different AC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
