Interview with WoTC CEO: http://icv2.com/articles/games/view/21062/interview-wotc-ceo-greg-leeds-part-1 Over-all our business is up significantly. I think anyone you talk to about what’s going on with Magic and D&D will tell you that we are having very, very strong sales. We are having very...

**SPOILERS** Two key points to make in response to the original poster. As a point of background, I'm the DM of a 5e campaign, and we completed the scenario in discussion, and have been an alpha playtester throughout. I also played 1e, 2e, 3e, 4e, extensively. First point - your primary...

Thank you, Ed! Love your idea and look forward to seeing and hearing more.

Fantastic! What a great start. Very similiar playtest approach to what they did the last two years. Just the basics, but plenty to work with and chew through to test and provide feedback. Things I LOVE: *Skirmisher vs Regiment battle unit - brilliant! *Tying highest "DEX" in Skirmishers to...

Keep on the Borderlands Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth White Plume Mountain GDQ1-7 These were, and continue to be, amazing. I modify each to "fit" the campaign world (FR), location, and character backgrounds.

What kind of game would you like to see? 4 hours and 3rd level is perfect for a dungeon like Lost Mines of Phandelver's (beginner/basic) which has really easy pre-made 3rd level characters. If you'd like a social/exploration intensive challenge - you could pit them against a Doppleganger (CR3)...

4 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual Should this be rated separately by players and DM's? I'm guessing most DM's will be 4 or 5 stars, and most players will be 1 or 2 stars! Brilliant!

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook Everything I would have hoped for from an extensive playtest and worthy of the Dungeons and Dragons brand. Bravo to Rodney, Mike, Greg, and team.

4 out of 5 rating for Hoard of the Dragon Queen Like it! Using it! Some REALLY great nuggets (ala the PF adventure paths) but certainly requires a healthy amount of tweaks to run and customize to campaign.

Here they are in order: 1) Kingmaker 2) Council of Thieves 3) Skulls and Shackles 4) Rise of the Runelords 5) Jade Regent For me I considered, most inspiring, most interested in running, and most interesting to read/steal from

It doesn't feel right to give experience on monsters alone. I loved it in 1e/2e when players fought over the kill shot and knew each time they used their class abilities it would be worth a little bump. That said, it was accounting craziness. It's easier to break down all those fun little...

DMMike I'm not sure I'll encapsulate an entire rule system in a thread post, however, I can attempt to unpack the connection I made between what you're doing and FATE. In Fate, your character gets an aspect, similar to how you describe your Perk in the prior post. Aspects are related to one of...

Ok, DMMike it seems you're going for any challenge to be relatively of equal weight in resources, complexity, and reward. If that is the case, then these aren't so balanced. I'd defer you to a system like Numenera or FATE that plays very well in that space. The game you're describing strikes...

To answer the question, it helps to understand another aspect of how your gameplay is developed. What are the types of challenges these characters will face? (For example 5e has said it's three pillars are interaction, exploration, and combat) What is an appropriate ratio among those...

Awesomeness Epic end of campaign uber-battles are amazingly fun and what a great opportunity for your players to enjoy their final battles! I just completed a multi-year campaign playing through GDQ1-7 using a 4e baseline, and enjoyed it tremendously. For the final battle, the epic fight with...

We relied heavily on our interpretation of the "other weapon factor determinants" paragraph at the bottom of p66 and top of p67 of the 1e DMG, and this is what we did: We checked for surprise, if it was won by either side they got to act first (taken from initiative for creatures with multiple...

Origins 2014 Well met, friends! Mike - congrats on the "new edition" of Mearls to your family. Rodney - you look amazing, did you like "lose a Bilsand's" worth of weight??? My question - what's happening next week in Columbus????? I can't wait to see you guys and share/learn more. I WISH I...
