Thank you for the review! As the sole designer on the project, it can be difficult to solicit feedback, and I appreciate all the suggestions and comments! I’ll review all of the cold spells soon to make them more distinct (they were developed to some support the cryomancer wizard subclass). Thanks again!
Hi Dave! I am new to D&D and bought the PDF. I was wondering how I can add the subclasses to my options on D&D Beyond? Do I need to create them as homebrew or can I import them for character creation? I'm confused :). I love the Windrunner Ranger!
If you have almost no prep time at all draw resource paths to your NPCs. Your baker burns wood from the woods woodland monsters would interfere with the blacksmith at the same time. Lack of metal means no pans for cooks farm tools proper lumberjacking tools hitches for traders... It seems like everyone kinda needs someone to clear the mine huh.
Every time I see dm guild stuff, it always makes me want to finish my project of reimagining the 5e classes, subclasses, races and spells (and minor mechanical changes)
@@NerdImmersion I'll remember that when I'm ready to publish my book on DMsGuild. I might be needing a little bit of help getting people to notice its existence. ;)
A little hint from a long time DM, every thing is a reskin of something else. But depending on how well you can reskin it, you can make it look like anything.
@@francisdoherty5580 Yes, but it's the way they are obvious reskins that is my issue. They need to beef up their flavor text. Flavor text is the reason so many people don't realize that Mordenkainen's Sword is a really bad spell. Lol
@@francisdoherty5580 Yeah. They don't have massive teams to proofread for flavor text. I said in my original comment that it wasn't a big deal, just a little sad that they couldn't do more to hide the reskins.
Thanks for the kind words! As the designer, I added the reskinned spells to support the cryomancer wizard subclass. I cringe at how simple the reskin is for a lot of them, so I’m going to go through and update them in the next few weeks to make them more distinct. Thanks for the feedback!
“All about player options” is the mantra of WOTC, and apparently many of the players, and third party publishers. Hence DMs like myself and players that have had enough of the bloat are moving over to OSE and other origin rules. And yes I do agree with Runehammer on this particular topic.
Well, good for you. I myself play 5e (with whole slew of crazy homebrew player options) as well as more streamlined OSR stuff like Black Hack and Mörk Borg (fantastic game, that). And I immensely enjoy both styles. There is no one correct way to have fun. Variety is awesome!
@@TonyCrenshawsLatte I absolutely agree that variety is awesome, it is the bloat and expected power creep for players that creeps in with every official release and little additional support fo DM resources that many of us are shying away from. Not to mention the flowery writing and poor layout in the books.
Adding this to my wishlist. I'm working on my own player and DM resource pack at the moment and something like this gives me a lot of inspiration to work on it. I wanna know how they make their modules and stuff look so nice and professional
I agree on the idea of changing damage type for spells with similar effect but icicle spears are just cold damage scorching rays. Nothing else different which is imo a bit boring. Torrent of slime is much better example but still needs work. I think changing dmg slightly and less aoe would make it great. In icewind dale rofm they added frost fingers which is just burning hands with cold damage but instead of igniting objects it freezes liquids and does 2d8 dmg instead of 3d6 which also means that it scales slightly better with higher level spell slots.
As the designer I definitely wish I had more play test resources! Many of the subclasses saw actual play, and I have a College of Storms bard in my home planar campaign that’s doing very well level 1 to 10 so far). Most of them I leaned toward flavor and tried to balance against the PHB options. But balance can be very subjective, and the design of some subclasses doesn’t lend itself to a lot of meaningful options. For example, I found the sorcerer subclasses to be the most difficult, and feedback is always welcome!
@@davecoulson1455 After I buy the thing and try something from it out, I won't know. Anyway, I didn't say they seemed unplayable, in fact they seem very fun. Not that there aren't things I would change(As any "enthusiast" would). But hey who am I to complain about your work(lots of the work)? I don't have any content on DM's guild, I'm just a keyboard warrior, heh. Very delighted to have received a response from THE designer. Much respect.
Hey, Ted. Could you also do a review of the “Codex of the Infinite planes”. I’m looking to buy it for a planar space campaign I’m writing, but I’m not sure if I want it or not
The author has barely any understanding of the action economy as well as balancing in general. I read through it and was baffled how someone could entertain some of these ideas. The worst is the Glittertouched Sorcerer. As a 1st level feature to cast Faerie Fire with some slightly altered properties (only 10-ft cube, no dim light, but disadvantage on Stealth), without save and concentration...and up to proficiency uses...on 6th level blinding an affected creature as a bonus action - without a save....on 14th you regain 2 Sorcery Points on use of the 1st lvl feature...and on 18th it becomes an 30-feet cube...

This is my favorite series. I love the DM guild but with so much stuff on there I don't have a lot of time to dig and cross review what is worth it.

Really cool that you do DMsGuild reviews!
87 videos and counting!
It is cool but also it's a gig.
@@basementmadetapes true but I've done less than 10 as gigs the other 70+ were all just cause
@@NerdImmersion that's true. I ain't mad. U should get paid

Wow, i wasn't this early even when i rolled a nat 20 on initiative.
This seems really awesome. Kinda sucks that it seems several spells are just reskins of existing ones, but that isn't too big an issue.

70k!!!! Gratz!!! Great vid like always!! ^^
Nice one! Bought it, gotta try soon.
Those sound like really decent options. Although the balance doesn't seem to be that much on point, but hey, who has the time to play test all that.
I was thinking they seem unbalanced as well but you're right that is a lot of play testing
The storm bard seemed meh, the fey fighter is nuts.

Is this adventure league legal? Or is it just up to the DM to add to their world?
it's up to the DM, but it's still good nonethe less.
Is there even homebrew stuff that is AL legal?
@@TheSuperskidz i don't think so, at least as far as i know.
It is not AL legal. And that's usually a good thing. You don't want homebrew stuff in AL games.
Howdy
