Also check out Standard E-books, while they don't have as much, their work tends to be nicer formatted for reading with ebook readers and programs: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/lord-dunsany (Just passing through, I'm trans and such but I'm not active here so, uh, yeah! Mods are doing good...

Evard's Slack Tentacles Hem Druidgraft Mordenkainen's Private Danctum (say it aloud) Misread Sleet Darkskin Sallow Glyph of Barding I'm cheating with this one, but Hold Monte

This is how I would word it: 1. ...[on a hit,] the target takes 10 damage. This damage cannot reduce the target's current HP below 1. 2. Roll to hit against up to three targets. Choose one target that was hit in this way, they are slowed... [by X speed].

I love the Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity. I don't think of it as an annoying cursed item, I think of it as a fun way to toy with gender norms and stereotypes. I hate all of the cursed items in the AD&D DMG that more or less read: "this looks exactly like a really cool magic item and you...

None in my games, and not even the PCs: they should be more than hobo-murderers. They should be citizens, militia-men, members of shadowy organizations, merchants, clergy, and more. An identity as an adventurer is silly: "I'm an adventurer because I adventure!"

Are the 5e creature assets you've included in your Github repo also free as in freedom? I'm no lawyer, but I'm concerned that you (and anybody forking it) might end up in hot water because of their inclusion. I know WOTC has been permissive with the usage of material from the "Basic" version...

When I'm running, I tend to make a setting using re-skinned bits and pieces from other settings and modules. I might have a city that is inspired by Baldur's Gate here, then a port town inspired by this or that (I'm a shameless thief!). Outside of this, though, there are two settings I'd...

Could you elaborate on this, please? I've done a read-through of the rules and I'm not sure where this comes from -- not that I doubt that it works this way for you! Which pieces of the design bring this out in your game?

IMO, the word being sought for is "depth." While 5e is my preferred system, I too think some depth was lost in the process to make it more streamlined. Some of the optional rules in the DMG are cool are cool and put some back in without much added complexity, but that's a different matter. I am...

There's a fan conversion of I6 Ravenloft: http://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/2fxgh3/i6_ravenloft_converted_to_5e_in_time_for_halloween/

This looks like it's the new UA: http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/modifying-classes

I answered yes, but only the DM uses them at the table. I use a netbook to pull up stat blocks for foes and as well as an initiative tracker. Players are permitted to use electronics, but I try to ensure that they have access to print materials at the table (especially spells). I run 5e, so...

I voted for more rules, as that was the closest thing to what I wanted: modules that were promised but didn't seem to make the cut for the DMG or weren't ready. I'm still hopeful for the mass combat rules, kingdom management, etc. so I can more easily run a game with those elements. Also...

Spoilers(!) for Hoard of the Dragon Queen follow. Sunday, my party just got out of the roadhouse tunnel in HotDQ, and started making their way towards the castle. As they start canoeing towards it, will-o-wisps lead them into a cave. Littered in the cave are skulls partially eaten away by acid...

Don't forget, too, that they can drop prone and grant ranged attackers disadvantage. Also, three-quarters cover grants +5 to AC and Dex saves. You can have your nasty little goblins fire, hide, and drop prone for the next attack, and even if they don't hide on the same turn, are still going to...

I've a player that is playing one, and I made a few house rules for the sub-class. No idea if this is going to break my game later, but we really enjoy that d100 table. Here they are: I ask for the d20 check after every spell using a slot the Wild Mage has cast. If the Wild Mage is out of...

Is there anything RAW that says only casters can use wands? I've not run into it. My understanding of the rules is that anyone can pick up a wand and use it.

A thought: why allow long rests to be done at any time without penalty? I like 13th Age's approach. It's not the most consistent thing, but why not simply let the party earn a long rest after six to eight encounters? If you're dungeon crawling, you might happen upon those encounters in a single...

Make sure you guys have a grasp of the death and dying rules before play, they're a bit different than Pathfinder's: Hit points no longer go below zero. When a character hits zero HP, the character becomes unconscious and dying. On a dying character's turn, they make a death saving throw. This...

Mine has some faded text in a few places, and purple lines (that do not seem intentional) going down the side of a page in the spells section, opposite one with some art with purple in it. I'll take a picture when I get home this afternoon. I love the contents of the book, but not how it was...
