Mythic Odysseys of Theros is the newest setting for 5e Dungeons and Dragons. We really enjoyed their last foray into MTG setting material, with Ravnica. Here's our unvarnished thoughts of this new ancient greek-inspired D&D setting.

@ashercortez3237
@ashercortez3237 3 года назад
The funny thing is that it already exists, but no in this level. They were doing Magic settings -> DnD adaptable as little supplements called 'plane shift'. It just happen to be the wizars decided to put money into the Ravnica and Theros ones to make them into complete books. They did these for Amonkhet, Dominaria, Ixalan, Kaladesh, Zendikar, and Innistrad. They only have very few pages and are varely and introduccion to these planes. The one for Innistrad is probably the coolest, because it gives you suggestions to make 'curse of strad' compatible to the lore, and turn it into the launching point for a full campaign. I really wish it was full book.

That second section on the gods and ways you might weave them into your campaign is... It's just my very favourite thing. The section on nautical adventures is just... Well, it's just my least favourite. "How to run nautical adventures: buy another book." I'm all for integration, but give SOME mechanical clues to people who don't own both. The section alludes to all the things you could do in the Dakra Isles while the map puts exactly nothing of interest there to capture the players' attention - not to mention that it specifically calls out trying to get home as a common reason to set out across dangerous seas... but any character from anywhere in Theros would have an easier time just travelling by land since all the settled regions are huddled together. Fixing the map might make a big difference, but even then... I'm underwhelmed. Island hopping was a perfect fit for this setting and as far as I'm concerned they totally fumbled it. It's vague without the evocative and I CANNOT abide it! Wizards. Please. Let me at it. Let me hand you some interesting Mediterranean lit inspired seafaring, I beg of you.
@Willothemask
@Willothemask 3 года назад
SERIOUSLY! Every other part of this book is between good and utterly amazing and then they give a map of an ancient Greek inspired setting... and everything is on the mainland. With just a few islands and a name stuck in the bottom corner. Well away from the cast lest any of the few ships sailing the coast might get lost in them heaven forbid. If I wanted to play a game in Theros, I'd make my own damn map. Also "Here's the Leonin a cool new race never before seen in D&D! They're almost exclusive to this one place and are actively isolationist so you don't find them anywhere else in Theros" So.... you gave us a new race... and told us we shouldn't play it? What?!

I'm excited to read it when it comes :D Ghosts of Saltmarsh was specifically brought BC my homebrew campaign will feature ships, and it will be great to have access to the rules and adventured, but I'll probably end up trying to include rules from Theros too bc who doesn't love Greek Mythology.

WoTC actually released pdfs of other MtG planes a few years back. I believe the ones they have out currently is Ahmonket, Dominaria, Zendikar, Innistrad, Kaladesh and Ixilan. I like Ahmonket the best because not only does it add a few new races, but also adds 4 new cleric subclasses. I like zeal domain best because of it's 17th level ability where if you drop to 0 hit points you can move up to your speed towards a creature and deal an extra 5d10 extra weapon damage and 5d10 fire damage (then you make death saves or die if the damage would've killed you outright).

You two are the most thoughtful, professional, interesting, and useful students of RPGing that I have ever imagined, let alone seen. You are the philosophers this genre needs amid a sea of false prophets. And you do it all with style, dignity, and without pretension. Thank you for being the adults in the room. You have identified and dissected each of my "pet peeves" about RPGing, and really put the "master" in DMing as far as I can tell. Tougher to realize some of those master level understandings of the situtation in practice, but actually understanding what is going on at the gaming table is the first step in correcting (my) mistakes. I'm very sure J.R.R Tolkien would approve of you two and would subscribe if he were alive today.

For anyone who don't mind homebrewing non-official dnd content into their campaigns, I wanna recommend looking up the "Player's Guide to Odyssey of the Dragonlords", for some more Greek-Myth-styled subclasses for your pc's. The Barbarian can be a Hercules grappling type character. The Bard can be College of Epic Poetry, writing a new line of poetry every time a Nat 1 (tragedy) or Nat 20 (hubris) happens. The Rogue can be like Odysseus, tricking monsters to gain advantage. The Ranger is an Amazon, basically Wonder Woman. And the Cleric can be an Oracle, getting a kind of Divination portent die for their Channel Divinity. Seems like great fun options imo, if you're into that. Search for it on "the trove" 😉

Even without the specific wording in front of me I can see a lot of room for reputation (the Athlete background) as a measure of a parties (or characters) fame in a region. It might match well with the Folk Hero in an out of the way town, or the Soldier in a military camp or martial society. I dont know if this features anywhere else in a WOTC product for 5e.

With that last comment about chill touch, I think that weakness is actually pretty smart and a reason to pick up that cantrip. If you remove one of chill touch's features then you're indirectly telling the player that only the damage dealing cantrips are useful like eldritch blast or Fire Bolt. If you think your monster is outclassed by a cantrip either use a different monster or give the monster an equally scary offensive or utility ability so that spells like Chill Touch aren't negated but at the same time don't feel like an Achilles Heel. Mayhaps your monster can use a legendary action to thrust it's status effects onto another creature? So that if your monster has minions that can cover up some of it's weaknesses without just saying "no your spell is dumb and doesn't work".

Anyone looking to run a campaign in theros should really read the old small stories from when we first went to theros. They show how gods fight and the feel of the world. And if you can only read one go look at Krufixes. It basically lays out deep lore about the world.

I like how Jim list some MTG settings he would like to see in DND, he mentions Zendikar which is a cool one, but sadly, these books are apparently coming with the release of the MTG expansions and Zendikar has been done recently (recently meaning a few years ago) so in order to get a book for Zendikar we are gonna have to wait a lot, that said, there's a series of PDFs called "Planeshift" which they used to release with each MTG expansion before just making books with Ravnica, they are short, like, 20 pages maybe, but there is one for Zendikar I would like to see Mirrodin / New Phyrexia, that was the current block back when I started playing MTG and the following block was Innistrad, which has also been revisited recently (again, recently means 4 years ago) with the Shadows over Innistrad block (Which is a continuation to both Innistrad AND Zendikar) so if between Innistrad 1 and Innistrad 2 was a 4-5 year gap (And, honestly, I'm 500% sure it was because of Bloodborne) then I think 9 years is enough of a gap to revisit New Phyrexia

Regarding Chill Touch and mythic monsters: an easy homebrew fix would to just let the monster collapse "dead" and ask the party what they're going to do next, then assume 6 seconds have passed while they start to mill about or decide what to do, and have the monster pop back up again since chill touch is only until the start of the caster's next turn. Would probably make the fight even more memorable.

Right now I'm playing a campaign called Odyssey of the Dragonlords which is Greek based and it is awesome. The PCs will become friends with 4 of the 5 god gods as they live among the people one as a king, one as a queen and two just live there lives doing what they do, and one is ascended and not among the people. There is also 4 titan gods 2 of which are assholes and the objective of the game, one is the world itself, and the last one wonders the oceans guarding the last one.

I mean the krakken has about 150hp more than a Tarrasque AND damage resistances in addition to basically the same immunities as one too.You'll also inevitably lose some of your damage against it in the second phase as each heart has 100 individual hitpoints, any damage over that is just ignored. For a CR 26 as opposed to a CR30, that's pretty good. Sure it doesn't hit as hard as a Tarrasque but the longer fight more than likely makes up for that. Also, no. CR24 dragons do not have more HP. The krakken has 809 total hp and they have 546. Only the first phase has less.

So I have been doing bosses with different stages for a while and how I approach it is I will have encounters that are designed to teach the players how to handle the mechanics. As an example, there was an encounter in a dungeon that had a massive locked door. To open it the PCs and to stand on 3 large circular plates and hold their position while they were attacked by mobs of enemies. So after the encounter the players learned "hey so if we stand on these plates, something happens." When they got to the boss. It was invulnerable to all damage, but when the PCs stood on all the plates the boss took damage. Then there was a change in stage as the health of the boss went down and the mechanic for the stage was already learned by the PCs in a previous encounter. This way of making combat encounters turns combat into a puzzle. I think multi-phase fights can work in dnd but need to be planned.
