@kevetoileCan we use Dispel Magic to counter the use of a Rod of Rulership, and if we can, which spell slot must we spend ? only if the rod is used to cast a spell, iirc – level is then spell level #wotcstaff

If a character was to snort 4 pinches of dust of Dryness…
@ChrisPerkinsDnD if a character was to snort(long story) 4 pinches of dust of Dryness, would that be an insta-death? #RulesQuery

Let's say yes. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/NkCo8CukqC

How much of the old D&D Ravenloft novels are actually considered canon?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD How much of the old D&D Ravenloft novels are actually considered canon?
— J (@If_I_fell_) December 10, 2016
I've been involved with D&D long enough to realize that what is "canonical" and what isn't changes on a whim and, ultimately, harms nothing. https://t.co/LR8jcLS4M5
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) December 10, 2016
@ChrisPerkinsDnD thats what is great about D&D, as a DM we can use anything or nothing that has been "official". My game is my world 😀
— Aj mai (@allanmai3) December 10, 2016
Yep. When it comes to D&D lore, we embrace things we like and discard things we don't. I can't unwrite something, but I can ignore it. https://t.co/xJsl9Somwy

What is your favorite miniature?
@mikemearls What is your favorite miniature that you've painted?
— Ryan Hagan (@SalmonSquire) December 8, 2016
Here's the image on the other side of that link, in all its glory. I love painting minis. By no means an expert, but it's relaxing. pic.twitter.com/WkhK08NuhW

@FredDaigle I loved those sets – you can still buy the individual miniatures from Iron Wind Metals

Tales from the Yawning Portal – Question & Answers!
CHAMPIONs!
Our Masters answer a lot of questions about the Tales from the Yawning Portal, I’ve collected all of them, let’s begin!
@Sands_TavaresDoes the size of this book indicate a smaller window between it and the next? nope
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
@bldaggerhart Is Tales from the Yawning Portal taking the place of a storied adventure path this spring, or will we see both?it’s our spring release #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
@Loaf187 Will Tales from the Yawing Portal have a limited cover like Volo’s guide? no
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
@mahewa_jtIs Tales from the Yawning Portal the next story line, or more of a supplement? it’s meant to supplement all our other story lines – drop in adventures to extend or bridge content #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
@mikemearls Will the Tamoachan section of the new book be set in Maztica? The tabaxi references in Volo’s and Dragon+ make me hope… thanks
— Nicolás Carrillo-S. (@NicolasCS) January 5, 2017
will those guidelines include #Dragonlance as well? The adventures include guidelines for setting each in multiple worlds. Including Eberron! #wotcstaff https://t.co/hwJ02Z3qAm
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 5, 2017
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@Sam_Urfer @ChrisPerkinsDnDSo, no storyline for the first half of this year? What’s the value to TftYP if one has all the adventures? 5e staff, full color art #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@Sam_Urfer @ChrisPerkinsDnD Staff = stats? No further material, perhaps? stats
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@mikemearls safe to assume from now on, WOTC will Announce in Jan for a Mar/Apr Adventure, Then May for Sep Adventure and Nov DM book?
— baloney_ninja (@baloney_ninja) January 5, 2017
I’d be leery of taking anything as a set pattern – we’ll vary our plans based on what we think will work best. #wotcstaff https://t.co/yPEREpNKET
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@Barantordoes “Tales from the Yawning Portal” also include “Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane” or just G1-3 “Against the Giants” g 1 – 3
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@mikemearls Yawning Portal looks awesome, but no story campaign this time around? Have loved all the campaigns and was hoping for more
— Ryan Conway (@VonFunkenstein) January 5, 2017
Tales is a little bit of a pause, a resource you can use with any campaigns. Rate people use stuff is something we keep in mind. #wotcstaff https://t.co/y24ccvH6x8
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@Inxanity1 @Wizards_DnD @ChrisPerkinsDnD So, Yawning Portal is Season 6, but is it “Labyrinth?” yes and yes
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@mikemearls was a little grumpy about Tale from the Yawning Portal till you mentioned inter-planar travellers. Thanks for not moving ToHtoFR
— Barantor (@Barantor) January 5, 2017
Part of the concept was to make the adventures usable with any setting – even Dead in Thay is easy to use elsewhere. #wotcstaff https://t.co/FrFMJHhnQE
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@eastmablwhere are the adventures from yawning portal located? Here’s to hoping that we’re getting other settings opened for DMsG. no set locations – picked ones that are easy to adapt to any setting #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD Just curious how far in the future did you plan your 5e roadmap go? #dnd
— Simon Oberbrinkmann (@Dummyurd) January 6, 2017
I have plans out to 10 years, but know that plans change as we learn and things change. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/k1P2fbb5ad
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@Lord_Sicariousan important question for Tales: is the Tomb of Horrors port just as harsh and deadly as the original? yes
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@jephlewisAre we getting TftYP 2 weeks early at FLGSs like we have with previous books, @mikemearls? Running a charity stream 3/35 and want to use SC. yes
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
@chriswachal @mahewa_jtdoes that mean there is a different adventure book coming out for the spring? no, taking a break from big adventures for the spring #WOTCstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 6, 2017
A thing I dig in Tales from the Yawning Portal: tips for setting the adventures in various worlds—particularly FR, GH, DL & EB. #WOTCstaff
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 6, 2017
@mikemearls @ChrisPerkinsDnD @jeremyecrawford @Wizards_DnD Which of the seven adventures in Tales is your favourite? #dnd
— Merric Blackman (@MerricB) January 6, 2017
The player in me says AGAINST THE GIANTS. The DM in me says HIDDEN SHRINE OF TAMOACHAN. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/a3njSybUjt
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 6, 2017
@ChrisPerkinsDnD they didn’t happen to sneak your “Warrens of the Stone Giant Thane” into “Tales from the Yawning Portal” did they?
— Barantor (@Barantor) January 5, 2017
Nope. Just the three original G-series modules. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/71hOENccq0
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 6, 2017

Lost Mine of Phandelver promised 10% of profits. How much would that net them a month?
@ChrisPerkinsDnD Wave Echo Cave. PCs promised 10% of profits. How much would that net them a month?
— Garrett Phillips (@GarrettKP) December 9, 2016
That's up to the DM, but 2d8 gp per month per character seems reasonable. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/N7CQSlvhtx

Easily the best question I've gotten all year. Let me get back to you. I want to milk this for all it's worth. #nipplepuns https://t.co/27qK2uQJHc

Are Kenku aware they are unable to be creative or form original spoken words?
@JeremyECrawford @mikemearls Are Kenku aware they are unable to be creative or form original spoken words? Are they able to try it all?
— Sean Ritner (@seanritner) December 2, 2016
Yes – part of the curse is that they know what they lost. #wotcstaff https://t.co/cR61OSxW4m
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 4, 2016
@LonremHow common would it be that Kenku have heard enough words to be able to speak with a mixture of voices? very – I viewed that as common for ones who are willing to "speak" #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) December 4, 2016
@Knoll68028721A player Kenku says whatever he want and claims “I have heard this message 10 years ago”. How would you deal with this? it's kind of lame, but some players pick race just for stats. i wouldn't twist arms over it #WOTCstaff
