    D&D 5E ALL ABOARD!!! Should rules for climbing big opponents be a part of the Core rules of D&D Next?

    When the big creatures join the combat, how often have you been disappointed by the lack of rules for climbing the beast for a bonus, a distraction or to just look cool? The closest thing for this are often grapple rules, but generally those are for overpowering the target and rarely or flat...

    Slimes, Burburs and Digesters article at Bogleech.com

    I remember back when 3E was gestating and it was mentioned a few of the new critters were evolution of older critters, like the darkmantle, but I never made the connection where the Digester came from. This guy did. http://www.bogleech.com/dnd/burbur.html 1996 burbur art even looks like the...

    Anyone interested a 16" tall Cthulhu miniature?

    JIC any fellow cultists didn't hear about this one, I'll mention this beast. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mythosfoundry/cthulhu-mythos-foundry-style $150 is a modest chunk of cash for some folks, but i think the price is very fair overall.

    The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim: Dragonborn expansion.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsROQUWaHnQ I hear the visuals have echos of Morrowind. I'm interested since a bit more information on the whole dragonborn thing would be nice. That and I'm happy to see some more creature designs since games are so often stingy with new creature models.

    Weapon damage dice on pregen characters / weapon chart wrong?

    The fighter, Moradin cleric and rogue have weapons that deal a die higher damage than the equipment charts. Did I miss something that grants the combat characters a die bump, or are the pregens or charts from differing playtest incarnations? The increased damage might not be an error, since...

    G.I. Joe Retaliation delayed until spring to add 3D.

    'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Release Date -- Moving To March 2013 To Add 3D :rant: While I avoid 3D like the plague, what annoys me more is the studio just screwed over plenty of retailers who have stocked up on the toy brand anticipating the movie's release.

    D&D 3E/3.5 OD&D, 1E, Basic, 2E & 3E: Which monster had the worst XP to danger ratio?

    So what are some of the candidates for the most danger for the least payoff? I've always felt the 6XP for the Basic D&D 1/2HD giant bee was really paltry since its sting was save or die, no onset delay. Sure it died after delivering the sting, but the sting also got to do auto damage per round...

    Warhammer 40k RPG: Only War, the Imperial Guard RPG.

    Fantasy Flight Games [Only War] While the announcement is interesting, I'm disappointed that this is coming out after the Space Marines rules. Now that the space marine rules are already out, I can imaging getting some people to play Imperial Guards will be like pulling teeth. Plus I loved the...

    Who else wants damage tracked separately per hit ?

    I'm a big fan of tracking damage per hit if it lets mundane healing skills repair a small amount of damage per hit. Sure it takes a bit more room on the sheet, but by keeping them separate, non magical healing can be made to matter by allowing each wound to be healed a few HP, with magical...

    D&D 1E 1E & Basic: Balance repercussions of changing infravision to low light vision

    I've been considering changing the infravision on monsters and races to something closer to 3E Low Light vision* for Basic and 1E and wanted to see if anyone could think of game balance pitfalls of doing so. Infravision is difficult for players to make use of unless the whole party has it, and...

    Who else hates seeing enemies Raised / Resurrected / Wished Back?

    One of the big reasons I loathe revivification magic is because of how much it sucks away the joy of a hard won victory to see a previously dead foe strolling out of a Temple. :rant: I'd rather play in a game with no raising than have the possibility of a confirmed dead foe showing back up...
