    Are there any red or pink demihuman/humanoid species in the D&D Multiverse?

    There is no reason that yuan-ti can't be red or pink skinned (scaled) and some of them look very human.

    UNITY RPG: The Best of D&D 4E, Pathfinder, & Dungeon World

    I just hope this encourages more people to try 13th Age.

    The Origin of the Fireball

    I wonder what Son Of A Preacher Man thinks about this article. (Sorry for the ancient reference!)

    D&D 5E 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    OK, I think we can just ignore everything this guy says now.

    D&D 5E Fire Bolt vs other Wizzard offensive cantrips

    My group of 1st and 2nd level PCs wrecked an ogre with ray of frost. They slowed it down and were able to keep running it around in circles, hitting it with ranged weapons and keeping out of reach of its attacks.

    D&D 5E 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    An unsurprising source wrote: There is a long history of people who want to stand in the way of political rights trying to argue that other people and organizations should be neutral in their approach. So, yes, these people are a problem--not because they dissent, but because they stand in the...

    D&D 5E Darkness, Magical Darkness, and Heavily Obscured Areas

    Charitably, I think this thread is a great example of people bringing their rich fantasy life to the rules. There is absolutely nothing in the PHB or the errata document to support the interpretation of the original post or in any of the post supporting this interpretation. If someone could...

    D&D 5E D&D 5th Edition Will Fail

    RiiiiIIIIiiiight. As someone who is running a 13th Age game where the bonuses are over 10, I can tell you that I do not find this to be the case. But you keep playing these games in your head without playing them.

    Fantasy Flight Games is Doing Very Well, Thank You!

    It's not a peeve to ask for charts that are more informative than the bare minimum.

    D&D 5E Give Me Three Reasons to Play Mystara/Known World

    If you think one of your PCs will take the Time route, you really have to have them visited early by a future version of themselves.

    D&D 5E Give Me Three Reasons to Play Mystara/Known World

    I almost forgot! 0: All magic is the results of a hidden nuclear reactor. (OK, that's not 100% true.)

    D&D 5E Give Me Three Reasons to Play Mystara/Known World

    1. Some great old adventures. 2. A great meta-story for the world. Get the Almanacs and there is always something going on in the world that your PCs can hear about. 3. The world really feels like D&D.

    D&D 5E Is a dwarf wizard still "playing against type"?

    There are two small problems with this argument. First, we have Gygax' denial of the influence of LOTR on D&D. I suspect that we can all just put that aside. Dwarves as PCs predate Basic D&D. However, the text of the early D&D does support the idea above of the proposed role of dwarves.

    D&D 5E Rethinking Attributes

    I disagree that using these stats will take the game away too far from D&D. One could almost argue that changing the order from SIWDCCh changed the game from being D&D! While I agree that in certain 1st Ed. sources (primarily Greyhawk), there is a strong linking of Int with magic, the proposed...

    D&D 5E Running D&D Modules with 5th Ed

    I suggest that you recreate encounters rather than simply converting. Think about how tough a combat should be, then add 5e monsters that are similar to the original until you get an encounter that is at the difficulty you want. (You can even reskin a monster, e.g., use the stats of a hobgoblin...

    D&D 5E I believe the Greyhawk Campaign setting was a missed opportunity for Wizards of the Coast.

    I'll try to briefly identify what I think are the connections I see: Simplified class design: the classes have a straightforward construction (with a little variation, also straightforward) Stripped down combat (even though one can add in some nice extra bits through the DMG) with the best bits...

    Thanks for doing the work. I always worry I'm giving out too little, so this will at least give me a guideline.

    I wish they would release the poster maps. Mine are in horrible shape.

    D&D 4E Where are all the 4E resources?

    It reminds me of the xkcd comic about home pages for universities. http://xkcd.com/773/ (The university I was at changed their webpage within a week of that cartoon to include a bunch of the stuff people want, so good for them.) There needs to be a similar re-design for the WOTC D&D page...
