    D&D 5E CoS: Full of child peril and death, but lacking...

    I look forward to reading it. You are one of my favorite posters here and find your stuff lucid and entertaining. I'm considering wrapping these two notions together; I think Gertruda -- pulled to the Castle with its romantic, otherworldly presence -- becomes smitten with the Count. He...

    D&D 5E CoS: Full of child peril and death, but lacking...

    RIGHT! My question is what do we do with them? What most of the posters on the thread think is we could use them to seduce PCs... That's too overt, in fact I don't think they should be sexualized to the PCs at all. Perhaps they should attempt to seduce townsfolk, an NPC close to the characters...

    D&D 5E CoS: Full of child peril and death, but lacking...

    ...the thing all good Gothic Horror films and novels are chock full of: SEX! Well sensuality, mostly. I find it kind of a 'softball' move to go to the 'child ghost' and 'child sacrifice' shtick to create peril and mood but - as far as my reading indicates - completely gloss over the inherent...

    D&D 5E Future format of books that mimic SCAG: Will you buy them?

    I went with the 'if its really cheap' option. Even at $24 I'm still feeling a little sticker shock. Honestly, fluff wise I feel like I've read 75% of it already and crunch wise the options all seem kinda lack luster.

    D&D 5E pitch an idea

    This is what I'd want, also new crunch, in depth info on adapting existing crunch into your homebrew, and a quantified method to create new races and sub classes of your own. Probably sell as DMG2, but whatevs.

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    Awesome, thanks for that. I can see this archetype getting very popular indeed.

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    True, my meaning is that the Invocations are thematically tied to either Infernal, Fey or Far Realm types, none of the current ones really fit with the Positive Energy Plane theme, whether they are require for a specific Pact or not. Its disconcerting, as the idea has merit but the chassis of...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    Okay, after thinking about it some more I'm a little miffed. Where are the additional Warlock Invocations specific to the Undying Light archetype? Just perusing the choices you get, few fit the thematic changes that the new archetype creates. Kinda dropped the ball on that Mearls and Co.... Also...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    Would have loved to see a Lantern Archon tied into the Undying Light Warlock, other than that, looks like fun.

    D&D 5E Along the lines of another post: What player RACES would you like to see added to 5e?

    All of these please?! Also Anthropomorphic humans, either the ones from 3E Unearthed Arcana or statted up Kenku, Vanara and Kitsune.

    D&D 5E D&D-ish novels?

    Some I'd like to point out from others: Ambercrombie's First Law. AWESOME and funny. Egil and Nix. Just south of true D&D, no surprise considering the author. Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. A must read. Elric of Melnibone. This is the best of the best of Sword and Sorcery, hands down. Some...

    D&D 5E With the reintroduction of PrCs which are on your 'must see' list?

    Sorry, this issue is a non starter for me. EVERY game I've played to the high levels has had some balancing problems. Its our job as GMs to mitigate these problems as best we can. Your comparison to WoW doesn't stand as my raid leader doesn't have the ability to create and adjust on the fly end...

    D&D 5E With the reintroduction of PrCs which are on your 'must see' list?

    That's not fair. Its not WotCs job to hold all of our hands past their adventure paths... unless I'm missing any additional points beyond 'all published adventures end at lvl 17.'

    D&D 5E With the reintroduction of PrCs which are on your 'must see' list?

    Heya all, So with this last installment of UA we see the basics of what a 5E prC is and the first example of them in the Rune Scribe. I'll stand by my cautious bellyache of 'here comes the bloat' and my wish that they wrote up some toolbox for creating our own instead of the shadowbox we...

    Here Come The PRESTIGE CLASSES! Plus Rune Magic!

    Would have liked more - or any really - 'how to' on creation of 5E Prestige classes... Getting one out of the blue makes me worry about bloat.

    D&D 5E What classes do you want added to 5e?

    There is a conceptual home for the Psion/Mystic in D&D and I for one really am looking forward to its inclusion. The Artificer I could get behind, as there are certainly character concepts that fit the D&D ouvre (Eberron in particular but also Lantanese inventors in FR). Additionally there are...

    D&D 5E [Class] Tactician (warlord replacement)

    The original meaning of 'Herald' is also a worthwhile contender. Beyond getting bogged down on names I will say I like the base class, Bravada and (mechanically) the Medic. The Captain needs more, IMO, as those weinies aren't going to help much past - what - level 3? Also its MAD, too much so?
