In my opinion, next chapter already looks mid
I'd like to see the general consensus.

Don´t know D&D… i hope it is something good.
Maybe we get a castle map?
1 -
We have no idea what it even entails. DND could be anything at all.
23 -
There's only one thing that can save this chapter for me, and that would be if the killer is a displacer beast or has a displacer beast pet (high mobility high killrate high potential S tier killer)

They should have gone for SpringTrap. Would have been much better.🏃💨

My brother in Christ, we know nothing about the chapter.
It seems, to me at least, that it could be Vecna. I doubt it's a Beholder, they'd want to hit it off with a big swing with DND.
22 -
Yeah it doesn't look very exciting.
Then again, all of the additions since Forged in the Fog have been flops to me and I don't see that changing until they get a gameplay design team which isn't happening atm.
1 -
there is nothing revealed except for the license that doesn’t even tell you who the killer is or what the power might be?!
you can’t be real with that?
You meant including Forged in Fog, right? … RIGHT?
also.. you think they don’t have a gameplay design team? Just because you don’t like their decisions they must not exist??8 -
There isn't even a chapter to look mid yet.
5 -
I meant to include 'a new gameplay team' my bad.
And yeah that chapter wasn't very good either gameplay-wise but I liked the map and aesthetics.
Unknown was amazing, but the survivor is whatever and the gameplay was awful on both sides.

Not pleased with WotC currently, but this is just mindless hate.

I'll wait for the ptb to say anything although it seems highly probable to me we may be getting another AI power which historically hasn't been very good.

Man discovers that he is not going to like every chapter. More at 11.
8 -
I'm not sure I agree with that, primarily because I'm not sure what "mid" is.

We know that it's DnD themed, that's it.
Do you know how much cool ######### exists within DnD??

This.
D&D has some really dark and gruesome stuff in it. Man sized insects with venom that dissolves your bones into jelly, creatures that magically eat your brain and possess your body, invisible stalkers that envelope you with torrents of wind that makes it impossible to breathe while using the very air to slice you to ribbons, foul smelling pig like giants that will crush your bones and eat you alive Attack on Titan style, poisons and spells that can petrify, ignite your blood or straight disintegrate a hole through your body.
I doubt it would be a beholder, but since one was shown in the teaser, a Beholder is an extremely intelligent, arrogant and evil entity, with a massive superiority complex, and a belief you exist solely to serve it, or die at its behest, either to remove you as an obstacle, or just for its own amusement. They are a large and genuinely horrific monster that has the power to subjugate the minds of, enslave, or brutally murder you and a whole towns worth of people with spells causing a large variety of slow and painful deaths.
Everything in D&D mostly exists as a still image in a book, so won't resonate with people not in the know... but if you've ever actually imagined how a real Beholder would look/behave, they are genuinely horrifying Beasts.... imagine a ball of flesh the size of van, with a mouth the size of the doors sporting rows of long dagger like teeth, a single massive eye that disables all magic within its feuld of vision, including attacks, healing or shields. It has a whole bunch of thick and power tendrils coming out of it, with each one ending in its own eye and capable of casting spells that can blow a hole straight through you, cut you in half, freeze your limbs, burn you to ash, turn you to stone, melt your skin, hypnotise you to do anything it asks (even murder your friends and family), and many others. It can fire any one or all of these spells at you at any time, aimed by simply looking at you, and near impossible to dodge. It hovers silently, sleeps with an number of its eyes open at all times, can see in all directions at the same time. There is no sneaking up on it or sneaking past it unseen...
Beholders are no joke... any person who plays D&D hopes they don't encounter even an infant or lesser Beholder... they are that dangerous. There is a reason that they are such a very well known monster, even by people who have never played D&D.
...and that is just 1 possible creature they could call on... and compared to Vecna, fighting a Beholder is like taking on a slightly annoyed field mouse.

as I said in another discussion. do not like that it's WotC at all. don't wanna give them money, don't want them here. hate that money that I gave to dbd was potentialy used to get this deal.
to me this chapter is already a failure and can not become good.

We don't really know anything yet lol besides it being a D&D collab
0 -
I'm excited for this one - Yes it could be mid but there are so many many possibilities for the map, survivor and killer.
I'm not too into tabletop stuff - I've dabbled here and there but I know there's enough options that the only thing really preventing this chapter from being a homerun is whether BHVR can deliver on this one or not.
1 -
a 3 headed dragon would be cool….
3 -
Looking forward to it. I'd love The Beholder to be a part of the power, but I'm guessing it may not be.
Either way, I'm really excited, especially as DBD is branching out further into different styles of games, media and style.
I'm even starting to think - in the upcoming years - The Magnus Archives may even be a thing in DBD!

While I like dnd, the chapter might just give us dull merchant 2, so while I love the theme, I'll wait for the PTB before I start celebrating. That being said, the potential for cool and unique cosmetics is really high with dnd.
0 -
Im really excited because we could get non human survivors with plenty of cool cosmetics + the killer could have some pretty interesting powers coming from a fantasy world.
Cant wait to see the map also :D
I like Stranger things but Im not a fan of having more than one chapter per franchise, RE was enough for me. I'm ok with more legendary cosmetics tho.
1 -
Honestly, I don't…I never played DnD since I never had any to play it with and never really got into it. I know almost nothing about dnd. I dont think it surprising a good chuck of ppl are unfamiliar with dnd in the dbd community since both games kinda in two different genres. Dbd is more or less based around horror while DnD is more or less based around fantasy.
0 -
The most critically acclaimed game of 2023 was based around DnD (BG3), I'd expect at least a passing knowledge of something given that fact.
2 -
Perhaps the giant Oni thing was a test to see how a seriously big character could play? That thing might pop upnas the killers power.
1 -
For me specifically, this will probably be really funny. I've been doing the "adapting killers into d&d" thread here, so it'll be kinda funny for the latest chapter to just have me go "Yeah, I don't need to adapt this one into D&D cause it literally already exists"
1 -
We have not seen gameplay.
3 -
the thing is i like dnd and dnd has infinit possibilitys for cool stuff both for killer and survivor but i cant be happy since bhvr lets go of THE chance to give us a giant spider.
- 8th anniversary
- the 8 is made of spider like ligs/claws
- a spider has 8 legs
everything would fit perfectly. they could even make jokes about how they spin a net to hold us as a community tight and what not.
dont get me wrong i REALY like dnd but when if not now?
6 -
That doesn't mean every single person have knowledge about DND. Is it really that surprising? Lord of Rings was super popular as well and I have met ppl who knew hardly anything about the series. Yeah they knew so well known names but that it. Take me for example, I know BG3 and even own it but I haven't got the time to fully play it and if I based this chapter on that knowledge then all I would know is the killer would be a mindflail since the only thing I know from BG3 xD
As I said just because something super popular doesn't mean every single person knows what it's about.
0 -
Would be neat but keep in mind My Little Oni required tons of map changes to work. If this is the killer power we'll either see entirely new variants of most maps, or some will just outright be disabled for the killer, the easiest example I can think of being Indoor maps
0 -
and lets not forget yes bg3 was a brilliant game and i think we will not see such a masterpiece in our lifetime but that is irrelevant cause this is dbd x dnd not dbd x bg3.
sure bg3 is based on dnd and has the monsters and classes from there but there is like a million things in dnd that wasnt in bg3 and that could be part of that crossover so even knowing dnd through bg3 isnt really helping cause i gues if its a dnd killer it will be some big character of one of the campains like vecna or straht
0 -
See I don't know anything about Ben a or straht. Honestly my inexperience about DnD is keeping me from being to excited. Since I know little to nothing about it, I have no clue what killer will be or anything.
0 -
all i want to do is play that Beholder. XD then i will be happy.
1 -
🤬 Beholders. I killed one in some game called dark alliance. His name was Xantham or something like that. Thanks for reminding me to give him his routine beating.
2 -
hagedorn. that's the name.
xanathar is the one with the fish that has a guide to everything
1 -
Drizzt Do'Urden and Guenhwyvar are a part of it and that’s all the cool ######### I need.
2 -
We literally don't know anything besides that it's d&d. tbh I don't expect the killer to be amazing but I'm definitely thinking that the perks are gonna be very unique and fun.

Old DBD and new DBD not even remotely to close to each other. Just amazing the difference
0 -
We don’t have any details on it yet. How could you possibly form an opinion. lol
Jeesh. This community can be critical1 -
I don't like D&D, I don't like WotC, and I don't like Hasbro. I'm very unsatisfied with the game right now and I don't feel like giving BHVR my money. So unless the chapter's new content is really good, I don't intend on buying it, at least not right away.
Map might be cool though, if the D&D chapter is giving us a literal dungeon as a map.

Okay, I have read every single comment, and I must say that my mind hasn't been changed, this chapter is still mid, I will come back to this thread when the next chapter releases to tell everyone that I was the one who predicted it, and I will boast about it until I'm blue on the face (or red on my fingers rather)
0 -
That makes about as much sense as saying Chapter 33 will be mid. We know pretty much nothing at this point.
2 -
That's a pretty good idea, mind if I hop Oni it?
I'm going to claim that sometime, somewhere, a DBD chapter will be mid.
I will make a thread saying this, and when the naysayers come, and a chapter ends up mid, I will come back to that thread when that chapter releases to tell everyone that I was the one who predicted it, and I will boast about it until I'm blue in the face (or red on my fingers rather)
In fact, I'm also going to claim that sometime, somewhere, a DBD chapter will be successful.

Ah, it feels good to game the system.

I agree. If it has no cool monster to play, it may as well have not existed. Such is the law of my brain 🧠.

But I will take the dub on this chapter0 -

yeah WotC stewardship of DnD has been less than stellar. I’m not under whelmed but I’m not over whelmed by the idea either.
Guess I’ll have to settle with being indifferently whelmed.0
