How many spells can fit into a Ring of Spell Storing?
@JeremyECrawford How many spells can fit into a Ring of Spell Storing? Should it be just 1 spell that's 1st-5th level, or multiple spells? — The Grifhinx (@grifhinx) May 3, 2017 Ring of spell storing: "The ring can store up to 5 levels worth of spells at a time" (DMG, 192). That's "spells," plural. #DnD https://t.co/JKFIHxUjPf — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 4, 2017

Would it be over balanced to allow deep gnome the use of svirfneblin magic feat?
@JeremyECrawfordWould it be over balanced to allow deep gnome the use of svirf magic feat as part of the race itself instead of a feat? Sorry, would it be too powerful for the deep gnome to have the svirf magic feat by default? — Tim Hatcher (@Tim_H_Hatcher) April 12, 2017 @Tim_H_Hatcher The race isn't designed to work that way, but as DM, you're welcome to give it a try. — Jeremy Crawford…

So a darkvision party, who refuse to bring torches or use Light, should still be getting disadvantage in dim light?

I cast Dimension Door can I take the ally with me? — Stephen Black (@Stephen82542166) May 9, 2017 Dimension door lets you bring a willing creature with you.
