    D&D 5E Looking at getting my kids started on DnD. Need advice

    I have three boys: 5, 8, 10. All are very advanced readers. My five yo can read at the 3rd grade level but lacks comprehension. They all have an interest in fantasy stuff like LOtR movies, two oldest have read Harry Potter, etc. We play Zombicide Black Plague so I think miniatures will help...

    Has anyone tried gaming via webcam?

    After having moved away from my two previous groups, starting a new job, and an expanding family, I really don't have time to go out and find a new group. Given the DDI game table release is about as eminent as the apocalypse I have to find an alternative to itch where I scratch. I had the...

    Rituals take too long and creative casting is dead

    First let me start by saying I like the idea of rituals. Some spells are perfect for them...divination, resurrection, scrying, etc. The seem to fit into the feel of rituals and appear appropriate. Why does the "quickest" ritual take 10 minutes? Take something like discern lies which is level...

    D&D 4E Are 4E powers mimicking poor playability of Dodge?

    I want to love 4E, but I am a skeptic by nature. I will preference my post with the knowledge that I am excited by 4E coming and will definitely wait until I buy the 3 core books prior to making too many judgements......but one thing stands out. After reading the news page on Enworld the 4E...

    DnD Game Table- Why doesn't WotC get it?

    If you check out todays news article there are some interesting tidbits on the virtual game table. I have sensationalized my title a bit but there are a few things caught me a completely off guard. 1. First, is this a marketable product or a service? To me it clearly seems to be a product...

    Should they release the DNDXP material?

    So my question is from a marketing standpoint would it be good for WotC to release the DnDXP material to the public as a big downloadable file? That would allow those of us who didn't make it to sample the material in play. I think it would be an ingenious marketing ploy. Just wondering what...

    D&D 4E The internet: 4E can't have it both ways

    So there are two opposing viewpoints I see coming up on the boards which seem to be in direct conflict with one another: Option 1. The internet message boards are a small fraction of the DnD players as a whole. As a result the wishes/complaints from this minority should be minimized and have...

    D&D 4E Is 4E the designers homebrew coming to my gaming table?

    I can't wait until May when the new books come out. The mechanics of 4E will hopefully fix many of the problems associated with 3.5 without generating too many new problems. My latest reservation is some of the fluff changes they are making: Elemental planes more hospitable, demons/devil...

    D&D 4E Are the 4E previews like turning it up to 11?

    Mike Mearls: This edition goes to four. Look, right across the book, four, four, four and... Bruce Cordell: Oh, I see. And most editions go up to 3.5? Mike Mearls: Exactly. Bruce Cordell: Does that mean it's better? Is it any better? Mike Mearls: Well, it's a half better, isn't it? It's not...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Will 4E combat actually run slowly...slower than 3E?

    I have two major concerns about 4E design. I realize this is all speculation but here goes 1. With the addition of all the new time segments....will the game actually run smoothly? We have quick, immediate, free, standard, etc. This seems to be a more complicating and reminds me of the old...

    Will the electronic table top affect miniature sales?

    I am not a huge fan of DND miniatures due to the random packs. I do use minis in my game frequently to represent the players and opponents. Ideally I would have a troll mini to represent the trolls, orc minis for the orcs, etc. Does the new electronic tabletop decrease you desire for minis...

    Does Loss of Dragon/Dungeon Hurt Future Game Designers?

    Not to add yet another Dragon/Dungeon thread, but after reading many of them I came to an interesting conclusion that I don't believe anyone commented upon. The loss of these two magizines may actually hurt the future availability of game designers. Look at WOTC public statement and see how...

    The Psychics Handbook in Vanilla DnD, Help?

    I was wondering if anyone has used The Psychic's Handbook from Green Ronin in vanilla DND? I am specifically thinking of creating a 10th level character for an Age of Worms game. My main fear is that he will be underpowered compared to the rest of the group at the same level. He is going to...
