    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2 Core Layout

    Recently picked up the Pathfinder 2e core book, and while I still reserve judgement on my impressions of the system as a whole, one thing that I can't abide is the labyrinthian nature of how the book is written. I'll give an example. Say you want to know what Wild Shape does as you make your...

    D&D 5E Dungeons and Dragons and the RPG Stigma

    A curious thing happened to me today that I'm guessing has happened around a dozen times ove the last year. I work at a hospital essentially as a unit clerk, and as such I have quite a bit of time on my hands. Recently, I've taken to bringing my 5E books to prepare for material for upcoming...

    Unearthed Arcana New Unearthed Arcana: Modifying Classes

    So Wizards just posted an new Unearthed Arcana, and awesomely, there are two new character archetypes, one for the Ranger, and another for the Sorcerer. In addition, the new class creating guidelines seem very useful, and will likely avoide a lot of needless shoehorning of new classes and...

    D&D 5E Princes of the Apocalypse: First Impressions

    Having recently picked up the Princes game from my FLGS, but not having time to play it yet, I thought I would start an open thread for people to post their impressions about it before they truly review it and post in the correct spot on the boards. Ill start off by saying that I've never been...

    D&D 5E High level characters: A one off

    Recently, for my friend's father's birthday, he asked if I could DM for them for a 12 hour stretch all day. Of course I agreed, but my dad wanted to play his 16th level wizard he has been playing on and off for over three decades. Thinking about how everyone says D&D is typically broken at high...

    D&D 5E On Dungeon Design

    Recently, I've been having a problem. I'm currently a grad student working on getting into medical school, and I love D&D. I have been playing for a little over a decade, starting with my dad's old AD&D books and moving onto 3.5 and 4e, but I've never really felt exceptionally passionate about...

    D&D 5E Legendary Item Creation

    Having received the DMs Guide and perused it briefly, something interesting stood out to me. In the item creation rules, a magic item takes a day per 25gp that the item is worth to craft. Legendary items, vorpal swords and the like, cost 500,000 gp. So with rough caculation, it would take 54...

    D&D 5E Amazon or Local?

    At I have a bit of a dilemma that I hope you guys can help me out with. I've already ordered the monster manual from Amazon, but have recently found out that my local game store has it early as a WPN store. So my question is, is it worth paying the extra $20 just to support them? Or should I...

    D&D 5E In Defense of the Beastmaster

    So having recently become fairly active on these boards, I realize that this topic has been talked about a lot. However, it is generally in a disparaging way towards the beastmaster class, rather than a productive way. So with that note, I decided to do a little defense for them, and figure out...

    D&D 5E What will be the maximum bonus on magic weapons?

    So I'm DMing a long term campaign right now and trying to convert from Pathfinder. At 10th level they all have about +2 weapons and armor, which was about par for the course in that campaign, but I'm trying to convert over and I feel like +6 weapons won't be the max. I'm thinking more of a +3...

    D&D 5E Why so much gold?

    Having looked through and played the starter set, I've decided to move my group over to 5E. However, I'm in the middle of a campaign, so a lot of my pathfinder players have magic items and such that are either worthless in this game or don't exist (mostly ability score enhancers). I'm allowing...
