    D&D 5E What's the origin of the Nightmare?

    Unlikely. Similar to the English word "mare", there's "Mähre" in German (i.e. an old, weak, female horse), but there isn't any conotation of Albtraum regarding horses. Alb/ Mahr rather means "evil fey".

    D&D 5E What's the origin of the Nightmare?

    In German the literal translation "Nachtmahr" is rather unusual. The more common name is "Albtraum" (Alb = elf/ fey, Traum = dream). The image associated with this creature is a fey creature sitting on one's chest during sleep and causing bad dreams. Similar as in the other languages mentioned...

    D&D 5E Conversion to the metric system - how do YOU do it?

    Yep, for that reason tactical map scale is 5 ft. = 1.5 m. On the other hand travelling distances are usually converted according to real world conversion factors.

    D&D 5E Conversion to the metric system - how do YOU do it?

    The German translation of both D&D and Pathfinder always use the approximation of 5 feet = 1.5 m. That's as official as possible. ;)

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo making a decision

    Paizo certainly wouldn't show interest for such an offer. They seem to do quite well on their own (apart from the GSL issue...). WotC could be quite interested in getting them back. But do they have the means for doing so?

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo making a decision

    I am probably as dumbfounded as everyone else here. But reading the above postings in order to catch a glimpse of what might have befallen Paizo didn't really help me. If anything I just wondered about some really wild guesses which are really unlikely/ impossible. I am not in the know about...

    [Green Ronin] Let's Make That Free RPG Week!

    How does it work? Great idea of yours! I am just wondering how to get the free pdf of Bleeding Edge Adventure #5. If I follow the link, I read that the pdf costs 2.95 $$. Wasn't it supposed to be for free? ("We have decided therefore to take Free RPG Day and turn it into Free RPG Week...

    D&D 4E 4E is to be announced at GenCon?

    A foreign word called tolerance? Hi everyone, I understand both sides, but obvioiusly too many people here are too narrow minded to understand the other one's position: If you already spent hundreds or thousands of $$ on 3.0/ 3.5 books, you aren't too keen on seeing them outdated ouf of a...

    E-Tools vs. PCGen

    Thanks again! Hi, thanks for your new input. I will install the new PCgen release today. :) I know that there are speed issues with Java, but on the other hand I also use Linux as a second OS on my pc and am glad that PCgen works on both OS. I will eagerly await anyway what the successor of...

    E-Tools vs. PCGen

    Hi again! Thank you both for your replies! :) Actually I think that I got a better impression about which programme could help me (and my DM needs). e-Tools sounds like the programme of choice (due to its feat and skills content), on the other hand I am unwilling to spend money on a...

    E-Tools vs. PCGen

    Another reader with the choice: eTool or PCGen? Hi everyone, I read the answers so far, but I am still not feeling informed enough for choosing between both programmes. I did some research of my own before: Yes, Code Monkey Publishing (CMP) announces that they will publish a new programme...

    What books should I buy?

    The question is: 1) Do you want to start something new, or (considering the number of different settings you already play in) 2) rather concentrate on one subject? Do you want to flesh out a setting (i.e. alternative 2 from above), or add new rules to the game? (i.e. alternative 1 from...
