For meta questions specifically about Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. This tag should ideally be used only when the question concerns D&D 5e as a whole, not simply on any meta question related to a specific mainsite question about D&D 5e. This tag covers questions about both the 2014 and 2024 rulesets. (See also: the [dungeons-and-dragons] tag on Meta.)

Is it OK to use Meta for announcements?

No, not really. Ideally you'd post it to the relevant existing question. Failing that, announce in chat. In fact, looks like you already did post it to a relevant existing question. That's enough. …

Are tweets an official rule source?

Should we consider tweets when answering questions about rules? Or are they only recommendations? That's a false dichotomy. Refusing to take the actual designer's thoughts into account when tryi …

Where to post hacks?

No, sorry. This is a Q&A site, we don't have a blog or other places to post work or statements. May I suggest one of the forum sites, see I've been told my question is better suited to a forum, but …

Should the DMG be an assumed resource?

If you're asking a question about DMing 5e, you should have the DMG. Also, answers should not significantly reprint copyrighted material, so the right answer to any question of "but how does X work" …

Why Are Our 5e Questions Terrible?

I have to say, I am not a fan of most of our 5e questions that are basically along the lines of "sum up the rules for me." Many don't appear to even be real questions, just information seeding. I und …

Revisiting whether D&D Next needs its own separate tag

No. Unless someone is really trying to run a game using playtest rules only, these questions are basically dead. There are very few dnd-next questions and the rate of people doing something with them …

Is formatting more important than content on StackExchange answers for initial votes?

Well, of course upvotes are at anyone's discretion, they can upvote because they like your clever use of headers. However, you are making a false dichotomy between "format" and "content." If someone …

Now that the 5e DMG is released, what is the best approach to revisit existing questions?

Do not duplicate. Go post new answers, those question will rise to the front page, and good new answers will be upvoted. Ideally the OPs will be around to accept new answers, but if not, the highest …

Are habits from D&D 3e making answers to 5e questions more prone to overly rigid answers?

No Here's the deal. Everyone (most people at least) know they can do whatever they want in their games. But they are asking a question not because they need someone to tell them "sure you can! make …

Can we rename [dnd-next] to [dnd-next-playtest] before it's released?

I'd really rather not, I don't understand the value in doing so. That seems way to deep down into the sub-sub-versions. We don't have a pathfinder-beta tag, or a dnd-4e-essentials tag. I think their …
