    Tales From The Yawning Portal - 7 Classic Dungeons Updated To 5E!

    Yeah, it can probably sell well, especially with a show like Stranger Things basically being a promotion for it. ;)

    Tales From The Yawning Portal - 7 Classic Dungeons Updated To 5E!

    I am one of those who wanted smaller adventures. But yeah, I was not hoping for a re-hash of old ideas. It makes reading the adventures more work than pleasure, and it's less likely that I will buy them. I was hoping for something more modern, like Reavers of Harkenworld, which I think is the...

    D&D 5E Refusing To Heal Party Members?

    The title really doesn't say much, neither does your post. Is there a question there?

    D&D 5E Rogue Stealth in Battle

    That's a really good errata in my opinion. They only clarified what they ment by the initial text, but didn't state explicitly. Personally, I am treating the last seen location as a unhideable location. This makes the PC's in my game usually move around a little and makes a whole lot more...

    D&D 5E Current take on GWM/SS

    So, you think that 7 options of variants of "yes, it's a problem" and 1 "not a big problem" options is a balanced poll? It would be completely logical to have a another "Not a problem" option as well. It wouldn't coincide with your opinion on the matter, but that's not the point of a poll is it...

    D&D 5E Paladin Smite Damage Cap

    My interpretation of this: "the extra damage is 2d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5d8." Is that the maximum relates to the extra for spending higher level spell slots. In other words 2d8+5d8 maxiumum (from a 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th level...

    April's D&D Feedback Survey Results

    The clue here is "sandboxy", not a sandbox adventure, which is a bit of an oxymoron. 5e should be really good at is, with the much larger range that monsters are useable as opponents. Adventures I liked that I found sandboxy are Red Hand of Doom and Reavers of Harkenworld. They are not...

    April's D&D Feedback Survey Results

    "There is a preference for more open, sandboxy adventures" Time to start delivering then! :)

    D&D 5E Useful Mobile Apps For 5e?

    This app really needs a better spell book, or even better, a way to import spells so you only need to write the spells once.

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    It isn't about milking your customers, that wasn't my words. That was what I found condecending. If you look at what I write, I write that it's common practise to sell as much as possible, to as high a price as possible. If you look at what they say themselves, they do say that they have...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Virtual Tabletop's D&D License!

    A condenscendig tone, but probably true. It's pretty much standard practise to sell your digital stuff expensive to begin with, and then after a while, cut down the price to reach a larger market. Nothing wrong with that.

    D&D 5E Perception vs Investigation

    I would say that if you are occupied doing something that requires a skill check, you are at a disadvantage (or possibly, your opponents are at an advantage). Giving someone no chance to detect an incoming attack is something I would reserve for flying, invisible, silenced opponents. ;) The PC...

    D&D 5E The 5E Art is Awesome

    A good point. A complete scene instead of a character in a white room. Helps a lot when it comes to trigger the imagination.
