First off, the winner of last week's giveaway: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1wvs7x9

Congratulations, u/DrinkingForTheTwins!

A little while ago, I came out with the Magical Code of Regulations, 500 pages of law governing the use of magic. It started as a fun little project while I was working as an auditor at the IRS, and turned into a whole worldbuilding project I don't think I'll ever truly stop. It has laws governing everything ranging from necromancy, magical conservation easements, and familiars, to dragons, fireballs, and Chosen Ones. Great for D&D players and DMs, lawyers, accountants, worldbuilders, fantasy writers, and people that just want a really cool coffee table book. I promise it is the most in-depth magical law you've ever read.

Here's what some people have had to say about it:

"An unnecessarily comprehensive and deeply inconvenient framework. Several of my longstanding plans now require prior authorization." -Glorgon the Destroyer, Antagonistic Entity of Prophetic Significance #33

"Clear, thorough, and appropriately burdensome. I have no notes, though I will be requesting additional documentation." -Arthur B. Wexler, Senior Auditor, Department of Magical Affairs

Since release, I've officially made over 5k sales, this book is #1 on IngramSpark in fantasy over the last 90 days (for you booksellers looking for a cool book for your store), and will even have an officially licensed Chinese edition on the way (more details to come later)!

As a way to give back a bit, I will be giving away one signed copy of my book with a free digital version, a customizable authorized spellcaster license, a few stickers and a bookmark, and a no-change audit letter. All you have to do to enter is comment below! The winner will be selected randomly on 10/16 using redditraffler, with only caveat being that your account must be at least 3 months old.

I appreciate all the support I've gotten from this community and others over the past couple of years, and if you'd like to support this project independent of this giveaway, you can find the Code at the following links:

Amazon (preferred): https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Code-Regulations-Spellcasting-Regulation/dp/B0GZF9PVQL?maas=maas_adg_47FC0A8EE6B4473FD3BD31EA1AC9CE35_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas

NOTE: If the shipping seems extremely expensive, you may need to go to your country's storefront. If you live in the EU and your country doesn't have one, Germany (amazon.de) is usually best. I'll try my best to find options for anyone that has trouble getting it!

DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com//product/566282/the-magical-code-of-regulations?affiliate_id=5121378

Can also be found on TikTok, but I run out of stock often there (too expensive to always be ordering copies myself).

If you're still not convinced, and wanted a sneak-peek, Questing Beast made a great video on it!

If you're still not convinced, know that the second edition will make ownership of the MCOR compulsory, so you might as well give in now.

On another note, I've finally launched the website for this book! It has a completely searchable Code, a magical law writing guide, all the forms from the book, a radio with some funny little narration from a fellow Redditor, and more! Highly recommend checking it out:

Marilik is a blue slimefolk who passes for human at a glance, her face and hair are made of the same slime as the rest of her body, styled into a goopy undercut. She's wrapped in a large dark overcloak over dark leather armor with a black breastplate, and her clockwork-style gauntlets channel electricity that naturally builds up within her. A small fan-like buckler shield sits over her left gauntlet, one finger left bare to show off a signet ring stamped with a wave emblem. Tucked away with her is a potion bottle holding a tiny red slime with googly eyes.

Hey, new DM here. I have a moon Druid at my table (level 4) who wants the flexibility to wildshape into any creature/monster so long as it abides by the CR constraints. He phrased it as wanting a different flavour/variety of options that fit more with his backstory. So far I’ve said yes but with the caveat that I retain the right to veto any individual creatures that don’t seem balanced. We just had our first session and he chose to wildshape into a quickling (CR1) (I had to look it up - not in the monster manual), which has numerous perks including 120ft move speed, 3 attacks per round (the fighter still only has 1), and enemies get disadvantage on attack rolls against it. This seems…rather busted for CR1, so we laughed at how he wiped the floor with that encounter and banned the quickling for future. All good. My question is: was the quickling an anomaly or are non-beast creatures just generally more powerful than the beasts and therefore this rule is only going to run into more problems? Would the answer change if I were to limit him to creatures found in the core rules (i.e. monster manual)?

Any thoughts and tips appreciated :)

I feel like there will come a point where the 5e formula may have to change a bit to stay fresh and relevant in a quickly changing TTRPG landscape. Given that, how would you as the sole director of the next edition of D&D change things?

Or maybe you wouldn’t change anything, and believe that the 5e system is evergreen and will keep D&D fresh and relevant forever.

Let me know your thoughts

I thought this would be a one-time thing, but it really feels like he is forcing this with me. I (20F) recently found a new dnd group to play with at a local game store. They were all really accepting and first session went fine! But within the second session, one of the players (25m) who I’ll refer to as B, was a little too friendly before we even began.

It didn’t help that when our party stopped at a tavern, his character who is an apparently a “handsome” bard, keeps trying to flirt with my character overs and overs. He was able to find an opportunity to talk with mine alone and even tried to roll to “charm” me. In character I tried to reject his nonsense but he kept on, just more subtly. No one else at the table really stopped him, but I think some of them felt the tension B was creating between me and him.

It feels embarrassing going online to ask, but I’m just not good at confrontation. What do I do? The Dm was one of the few who didn’t care/didn’t acknowledge B’s weird dialogue, so I’m kind of stuck here.

I made myself a Druid Warforged. Wooden shell with a metal core. Formally a worker bot, he escaped from his confines, shed his metal shell and lived a life of solitude in the wilderness. Several decades later, he learned how to attune himself to nature. His wooden shell ended up being his own totem to be able to cast magic and eventually he was found by an adventuring party whom he joined.

My group loved the idea as they had only ever seen Warforged as being just as seen in the books, metal and unfeeling.

It wasn't until about 5 sessions in I admitted that I had rewatched the episode of Futurama where Bender turns himself into wood and goes native with other wooden robots.

So DnD redditors. Ever had a character your group thought was unique but you totally stole it from somewhere else?

Qaseye is a character I got the chance to convert to 5E recently and I had so much fun playing her as a ranger! I forgot how much fun 5E is and UGHHH. She got a revised backstory for the dnd one shot! Which I will post below :3c But I know my dm took the time to use the fairy stats and mix them a bit with the gathlain stats to make it a homebrew race for me QuQ♥

Qaseye was born from a dogwood tree. Traveling around the world, sticking to mainly forested areas and very rarely interacting with humanoid races, she lived alone for centuries. But finally, after awhile, she settled down in the dense forest surrounding the bustling village of Seasons Valley, where she learned more about those who inhabit it.

She spent a long time with orcs and even got adopted by a orc couple that taught her to be a ranger. Now she's off traveling with a band of idiots who are collecting bounties ♥
