RUXVIANS Ruxvians are an intelligent, highly social, naturally-empathic race native to a number of heavily forested home worlds. Their diminutive stature, furry coats, and canine ancestry makes them look like a stuffed toy (humans have described them as looking like a border terrier mixed...

Honestly? Some of this behavior is expressly intended to scare women out of participating. I have zero problem with calling someone using fear to modify somebody else's behavior "terrorism", because that's what it is. If the use of that term errs, it's in that it also includes conduct that's...

Nobody is saying that. Not even a little. But at the end of the day, you don't experience being gay, in life or in RPGs. So when you tell us how it "really" is for us, it comes across a bit condescending. We're speaking about our experiences. You're speaking about how you don't see the things...

See, the thing is, literally nobody in this thread has said a single thing about wanting to incorporate sexual content. But somehow if you're GLBT, your very existence is treated as explicit.

The "I don't care if anybody is gay, black, etc." viewpoint is one that I most often encounter from well-meaning people. It is said with the best of intentions: why can't we all just get along? Unfortunately, what it really tends to stem from is a failure to account for other people's...

What Jester said. Everybody has a sexual orientation. Straight people talk about theirs all the time, usually without even realizing they are doing it, because it's perfectly normal to talk about your loved ones and family. Besides, "I don't want to have to know somebody is gay" is basically...

The most delightful part of being gay: your very existence is somehow considered "politics". *Eyeroll* Interesting panel. Thanks for posting this.

In all fairness, I guess the velocipede repairmen made the cycle faster as well.

I've so far bought everything for 5e at my local game store, but it's almost entirely because of the two-week prerelease. The minute Wizards starts selling PDFs and/or releasing everywhere on the same day, I'm off to Amazon or drivethrurpg… y'know, where I already buy everything else because...

The developer has never said. However, he's one guy with six different apps he maintains in his free time, and porting them over is non-trivial. There's certainly plenty of interest, but he may not have the time or resources to do it anytime soon.

4 out of 5 rating for Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide The first real sourcebook for 5e doesn't disappoint. At around 150 pages for $40, it seems a bit short for the price, but what's there really packs a punch. About two-thirds of the book is setting material, including a wondrously detailed...

Exactly this. The Hero Lab iOS app may not be all that pretty to look at, but they've implemented every nuance of every feature from everything Paizo's ever released. It's there and it actually works… class features are activatable and modify your character as they should. It's certainly not...

It's pretty, but the character module at least seems… kinda useless. It takes all your information, spreads it out over ten different pages, and doesn't really do anything with it. You can collapse sections to half size, but without the ability to rearrange them (which I couldn't find), there's...

Yeah, I'm going back and forth. The craft point limit is low enough that I don't think scrolls and potions are likely to be too overpowering (though the potentially unlimited spell list makes me wonder if they will be). The stronger at-wills still feel wrong, but realistically, Magic Weapon...

I absolutely agree re: Reboot needing to work properly with what happens to constructs (unless the intent is that it only apply to Warforged, maybe?). I was just replying to this bit: They seem to be modeled off Warlock invocations, which work the same way.
