IMHO, tactics in almost all RPGs still fall back to fundamental factors that translate to real world conflicts even today. - Terrain - Knowledge (intelligence about ones self, ones team mates, and the opposition) - Training/Talent either side of the conflict may have. - Elements of surprise...

Tensers Floating Disk was a mainstay spell in my wizards spell book. It was the pickup truck equivalent of utility for almost every party I adventured with. Perfect for hauling loot and fallen comrades, it was also useful for many other situations and activities. I remember using it...

The Rolemaster Arms Law critical tables and fumble tables were always my favorite part of that system. IMHO, Rolemaster was very crunchy. Many modifiers and calculations came into play with their system, but you only rolled once to determine hit and any damage. The open ended D100 system is...

Had seen this before in an online session I was involved with. We played during the week, so everyone was usually coming off of work and already tuckered out. One of the players would drift off regularly. He would do the classic head bob and next thing you know he would catch himself and wake...

What really made the DDI 4e character creation tool worth subscription was the full inclusion of all character relevant content, updated for errata, in one tool. This included character aspects or skills relevant to specific worlds (Forgotten Realms, Dark Sun, etc) as content for those worlds...

I am very pleased to see D&D riding this new wave of RPG interest. Fifth edition is excellent IMHO. My players really like it and look forward to more content for it. Of course, the D&D brand recognition is so deep that it will likely always have presence in the industry. Kinda like...

Very cool. Good to see Vin at the table. The Critical Role crew are excellent ambassadors for the game. Matt Mercer is an exceptional DM. Watching him play has motivated me to up my game as a DM

Excellent history article. MOAR!!!!!!! This kind of content makes ENWorld just awesome IMHO. Of course, some creature history articles may be rather short on content because the creature is not well represented in past publications. But on the other hand, some creature histories could span...

I want to buy the OotA, but at the moment I am still going through content from the PotA. ;-) I might buy OotA for my Fantasy Grounds app just to get the free Adventurers League module offer that is currently taking place in the FG online store.

Every FLGS should have a wall like that. Inspiring decor.

Just a follow up... The D&D show is excellent!!!! :) The players have great PC voices for their character, and the DM provides excellent NPC voices as well. There are 8 players and the DM... so 9 people total. They are using 5e rules. The PCs are lvl 9. These players have been in a campaign...

Thanks for the props Morrus!! :-) I hope the new D&D show works out. The players are apparently going to be voice over actors, so I believe we will hear many different voices for PCs and NPCs along with wagon loads of creativity. - Al

Excellent article Morrus. Writing... ALL writing... has been one of those "starving artists" industries where only a few really break out into big money. Successful authors will constantly tell interviewers how lucky they feel to have been recognized for their work. The depressing part is...

Rules lawyers around the world both love and hate this flowchart. They love it because it represents the processes they use every day. They hate it because... well... now everyone knows their tricks. Kinda takes the fun out of being a rules lawyer. :-)

I purchased this product in 1983 when it first came out. The bookstore where I obtained it only had the one copy on hand, so I felt was was the fortunate one at the time. As a DM, I usually create my own world settings. This product that Gary created set a new standard for world building that...

Found my copy waiting for me when I got home. Taking a break from reading it while I enjoy some dinner. My progress is to page 65 and I must say I am extremely pleased with the content so far.

I kinda dig this... just hope they add more options for poses and items. I also hope that they can come up with mounted options where you take an avatar you create and then have it where it is mounted on some kind of ride (horse, cycle, flying carpet, dragon, whatever). Obviously a mounted...

Oh trust me... I was in the mix of all of that in the late 70s and early 80s. The days I will always cherish the most where when I would attend early GenCon events in Wisconsin where I would see and experience all of the great ideas that other players had and shared. To enjoy the hobby back...

I just want to say... How I wonder how things would have been if the Internet was around when D&D first came out... so many great ideas... and resources... shared. Some would say that D&D probably would not have had the same success if it were so... but it still sticks with me how awesome...

I was browsing about in the CoolStuffInc.com website and noticed they have added pre-order for the second set of the Icons of the Realms miniatures collection.The site states a release date of March 4, 2015.
