My favorite little note from the guidance to 2024 #DnD Backgrounds was tucked into the video preview of the Greyhawks section - connect Backgrounds to the game world.


The 'Spies Goodbye' in season 3 of Agents of SHIELD is one of the best approaches to writing characters out of a superhero/spy series ever.
Bobby and Hunter should have gotten their show.

I made a Xanathar's style chart for what to do with Coffee Gear in #DnD

It includes things like roasting and making a beverage, but also better things like making a beverage so strong it removes a level of exhaustion.

I know this isn't completely new. It leans into Eberron

But broad magic doesn't have to result in noir.

We have broad tech and cyberpunk wasn't the result (or was it?).


Lots of #DnD companies and players are seeking ways to add Feats to Backgrounds, but for me the more interesting space is to add Cantrips to Backgrounds.

That Farmer? They should know Druidcraft.
The Smith? Produce Flame
The Urchin? Prestidigitation

If you want a "broad magic" fantasy world give everyone a non-combat cantrip

Well, the first Kickstarter I'm a writer on has funded and hit stretch goal one.
