the official 27'x33' vinyl Dungeons & Dragons Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide Faerun Map. That's bigger than my house.

All-new off-Broadway musical is my guess.

In the design space of "Very Dangerous - More Storytelling" part of the chart, I would suggest that New School games like Polaris and My Life With Master -- among others -- fit the bill, as they make it either very likely or entirely-assured that everyone is going to die at the end.

I don't have any data to back this up, but I would suspect Salvatore's novels alone have far outgrossed all the "real" RPG D&D products. But I'm happy to be proven wrong!

It's not really a big enough issue for me to get too excited either way. If a dwarf-into-half-orc wants to swap languages, or not, that's fine. It's not like the good old days when your wizard came back as a badger. Cheers, Roger

The CR 1/2 warhorse can stomp someone into a fine paste in pretty short order.

This sort of information can be useful, if it's presented the right way. An additional character background or two goes a long way in conveying this sort of information, but it's not always the right answer for every adventure. Rumour tables are really great for this sort of thing. A clever...

You gotta cook up that intellect devourer and feed it to him, which I guess would make him an intellect devourer devourerer. It might not work but it's not like he's going to complain.

The art. (which might not be my final answer, but I think it would garner some votes.)

My sense is that 5E tends to be more of a 'yeah but how well does it work in practice' sort of edition, so I'd tend to suggest your time is best spent in more playtesting rather than anything else. But your mileage may vary on that.

I kinda dislike the conceptual creep here, which is just my subjective preference. I like my backgrounds to be strictly in the background -- it's stuff that you used to do, then stopped doing, all before you became the full-time adventurer you are today. Dog, Urban Bounty Hunter, for me hints...

I mostly like this. Seems like an okay way to handle The Last Airbender, and also characters who are pretty normal folk until they discover The Sword of Greyskull or whatever. Also someone can (and almost surely will) give us the old AD&D bard, which I can't complain about. As a minor...

Yeah, those are good points. I'm not sure I really agree with them, but it's pretty clear I'm in the minority, so that's fine.

I think the article failed to blame one very blame-worthy party: the backers. Specifically, backers who think Kickstarter is some sort of complicated pre-order system. Kickstarter is not a pre-order system. A few companies have used it as a pre-order system, which has introduced its own...

It's alright, but I'm not sure it does anything the Acolyte doesn't.

If it's not too much work for you, mutate the spells a bit. Sleep causes the targets to snore as loudly as shriekers; detect magic gives magical items a distinctive odour, etc. Cheers, Roger

A ghoul could grapple the business end of the tiller; that wouldn't do anything good to its manoueverability.

You could say... they really put the 'anger' back in 'ranger'.

Hmmm, interesting line of thought. It seems to me that the way in which Aragorn and Jon Snow are 'connected to the land' is not really mystical at all: it's essentially political. We've seen a bit of that in this edition, mostly in backgrounds and such, but maybe that's a useful direction to...

All I really want to do is see a party of rangers in action, when they all Hide in the new 2016 Chevrolet Ambuscade. The orcs will be confused. "Thogg hear battle music, feel self roll initiative. But why?"
