Hey quick question since we seem to have a lot of cantrips to play with in the party.
Minor Illusion - You can, for 1 minute - and without breaking concentration since it requires none - create multiple discrete sounds within a 30 foot range. The text doesn't say you can't create multiple images in a similar manner... Just wondering if, with a little practice and co-operation, if more than one of us has Minor Illusion can we create the impression of a certain degree of animation in an illusion by taking turns to show individual frames of animation, which in combination with the thunder and fog and maybe some dancing lights would work like a zoetrope to imply movement? Also, can you switch from sound to image in the same casting (the wording suggests no).

By the way, speaking of cantrips, I went looking for that Thunderclap that someone did the other day to silence the bells for a minute, it turns out there are tonnes of ones that aren't in the PHB/SRD - If you're new 5e and took something like Friends (Charm person with a hangover) because you didn't know what else to do, take a look at Green-Flame Blade, Booming Blade, Create Bonfire, Mold Earth, Primal Savagery - there's some great stuff with strong thematic options out there. Also, if everyone else already knew this, thanks a bunch!

Also can I just say I'm loving the value for money OG is getting out of Mage Hand

Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, Elemental Evil Player's Companion*, and Xanathar's Guide to Everything all have extra spells and cantrips. Xanathar's Guide is almost like a Player's Handbook 1.5 with loads of extra subclasses. Volo's Guide to Monster has a few extra player races too.

Yeah, and if you don't have $300 to spend on books, most of the info is available through a bunch of websites (gl393-dnd5th.wikia.com/ and https://donjon.bin.sh/ have been very helpful) if you're willing to piece the info together 'cause no one wants to get sued by putting it all up in one place too conveniently. It's still relevant for the current characters, as anyone with spellcasting capability will be earning more cantrips as we go, so the options are there. I've a google doc with them all in there (i think - ignoring any racial perk cantrips except my own).

There's a few references to a new book coming soon (It's not Mordercai and Rigby, but it sounds a lot like it. OOOOO-ooooooooh!) which I'm sure will shake it all up again in a couple of months, and at the rate we're moving that will be in about 2 long rest's time

Here, what's the story with Clerics? They seem to have a really, REALLY narrow spell list - 2 options per spell level in each domain. Is there a general pool they can all choose from too? Or have they been deliberately shifted from walking first aid kit to half-way between Caster and Engine of Death? It's not immediately obvious from the PHB, or I'm just not reading it right.

There's an Android app called 5th edition spell book that can have all the spells once you update it.

Cleric domain spells are extra spells, they have a pretty big list of general spells too.

Druids and Rangers are the walking first aid kit now thanks to the wording of a second level spell that's supposed to be used in combat but can be used outside of it and heal the whole party for 10d6 each.

yeah, but depending on your domain you get a list of 2 spells per level.
So, if you choose Life as your domain, one of those spells is Cure Wounds, which scales up as you cast it in higher slots (think of it as the lovechild emerging from an orgy of Cure Light Wounds, Cure Critical Wounds and a slide whistle).
That's on the general Cleric list. But it's a life domain spell, so presumably you have to be life domain to learn it?
PHB - "Your choice grants you domain spells and other features when you choose it at 1st level"
I mean this isn't important now. But if/when my warlock falls into a lava pit that doesn't conveniently get out of the way, my Thunderlizard will want to know.

Clerics are prepared casters. They get to pick a limited number, level + wisdom mod, of their spells every end of long rest to use that day. Domain spells are always prepared and don't count as one of that limited number.

Sorry can't do tonight
