Preliminary Sculpts for Upcoming Band of Gnomes Miniatures Game Kickstarter The Kickstarter for Band of Gnomes should start on Monday (7/21/14), at which point I'll add a new reply to the pinned Kickstarter announcements post with all the particulars. In the meantime, the Comments page from ADW...

Gnomes, Gnomes, Everywhere Well, Band of Gnomes is a tactical minis game, but it's part of a larger campaign world called Doggerland that sounds pretty unique- if they don't have an RPG planned, you could surely scrape the lore and use it in the RPG/edition of choice. There was something on...

ADW Games just finished a KS featuring Ice Age Mammals miniatures in 28mm scale (think sabretooth tigers, wooly rhinos, and terror birds), and (I think) are planning to follow up with another Kickstarter sometime next month. These miniatures will also be supported with stats for the upcoming...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1409961192/metamorphosis-alpha-deluxe-hardcover-collectors-ed All the details are on the project page, but basically this: - Goodman Games is working with creator Jim Ward to reprint the very first sci-fi RPG, Metamorphosis Alpha, in a deluxe hardcover...

You (correctly) got that impression because of the damage they did with the 100-year timeline jump. WotC knows it was a mistake to break the world continuity and pick up 100 years later with, "the Spellplague was really, really bad, guys, so the Forgotten Realms is now a Points-of-Light world."...

It's really a shame that I had to miss the keynote because it started late and then the archived version wouldn't play; it sounds like a lot was in there. Thanks for the insights, Pour et alia… It sounds like WotC is talking about doing what LFR has been doing for the past 2-3 years, despite...

That's right; but my point was that Bobby died and then at the end of the season he was suddenly taking a shower, so I just thought Mystra's death was the bigger- oh, never mind. (I tried to XP you, but I didn't have the juice.)

Where did Mearls agree that high-level NPC do this? Because it's the most tired fallacy perpetuated by anyone looking for an excuse to hate on the Realms. All of you who STILL whinge about Elminster keeping you from playing meaningful campaigns sure as heck didn't jump into FR when the 4th...

Actually, the correct Who-Shot-JR reference would be, "And Mystra is in the shower. With Elminster."

Thanks- I hadn't thought of those options. While I wouldn't call it "wanton slaughter," there are plenty of monsters in the 3-11 hp range so I can see TWF as minion-smacking at low levels, then providing more utility for fighters (5th+) with multiple combat superiority dice. But it definitely...

Agree with everyone saying that Survivor and Jack-of-All-Trades are the quick-but-useful specialties for players who don't want to deal with them. Also note that the Toughness and Skill Training feats say "Special: You may select this feat multiple times." This clearly allows for non-Specialty...

I'm assuming that the Level 1 feat is the backbone for any Specialty (I prefer the original term "Theme", even if 4e references are apparently verboten in DDN). So what am I missing the the new versions of Twin Strike? "Rapid Shot" for the Archer and "Two-Weapon Fighting" for the Dual Wielder...

The way these rules work so far, you could probably just use the 8 pages or so out of the original B2 module. Then improvise the rumor gathering with WIS checks to suss out the false ones, the keep locations are just your standard base of operations and don't need a lot of rules. Only the four...
