    D&D 5E Primeval Thule - looking for maps

    I'm busy preparing to run a Primeval Thule campaign (from the latest Kickstarter, using D&D 5e rules). I've downloaded artwork from the Sasquatch gallery - to help players visualise monsters, places, NPCs - but I'd really like a map that I could give to the players. The PDF map from the...

    Yeah, the index is a running joke in my group. Sorry, but I don't have time to contribute right now, but I'll be interested to see how this thread goes.

    4e-style Star Wars stat blocks

    One of the things I like about D&D4e is the monster design statblocks, and one of the things I don't like about SWSE is having to remember what each Feat or Talent does for my NPCs. So, I decided to try and combine the best of both worlds, and 4e-ify some Imperial Stormtroopers. I've attached a...

    MARS: Savage Worlds?

    Anyone played MARS original or Savage Worlds edition? I'm always on the lookout for something a little different than our usual games (D&D, Cthulhu, Star Wars), and thought this looked fun. I can't find any reviews, though.

    Belsay Castle

    A couple of weekends ago, I visited Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens in Northumberland. The horse is "Lucky Spot" by Stella McCartney. It is composed of thousands of crystals suspended on wires and looks pretty spectacular in the Great Hall of Belsay Castle.

    ENW's filter doesn't like town in North Lincolnshire

    ENW's swear filter is exhibiting the same behaviour as AOL's did in 1996 when it wouldn't allow people from S:):):):)horpe, North Lincolnshire to subscribe. I can't name the place, without it getting censored, so here's a picture to help...

    Horizontal scroll bars on the news page?

    Michael - is it possible to remove the horizontal scroll bars under each article on the news page? I've viewing the page at 1600 x 1200 and I'm sure I don't need them! Thanks :)

    Mechanical effects of alignment

    So, do we actually know any mechanical effects that alignment will have? I assume the 5 alignments are effectively keywords that can be referenced by powers. Have we seen any previews, or quick reads through the core books that describe any of them?

    Winterhaven is the new Keep on the Borderlands?

    Looking at the May preview, it struck me that the map of Winterhaven looked familiar. I checked my copy of B2: Keep on the Borderlands and, sure enough, it bears an uncanny resemblance to the map of the Keep. H1 Winterhaven B2 Keep on the Borderlands Looking at the scale, the Keep is about...

    Criticals can do triple damage?

    Looking at the Cleric of Bahamut from the Desert of Desolation DDM 2.0 cards has this special power listed - "Heavy pick: triple damage on critical hits". I'm not sure if I've seen this confirmed anywhere for the D&D 4E RPG rules before. Of course, since these are DDM 2.0 cards, it may not be...

    D&D 4E "Mook" rules for 4E monsters?

    I was listening to the October D&D podcast last night, and something stood out that I hadn't heard before. A quick search here didn't reveal any discussions about it. Do you thing I'm mis-interpreting, or do you think it sounds like 4e is getting mook rules? The quote I'm talking about was...
