    Firbolgs - A PC Race From VOLO'S GUIDE TO MONSTERS

    I actually like it quite a bit. Always loved fey themes and the Moonshaes is one of my favorite areas of Faerun... they're perfect for that!

    Am I the only one who can't see a link to the character sheet...?

    D&D 5E Future 5th Edition books you'd *like* to see?

    I want more options for characters: more feats, more domains, more archetypes... I want a splatbook about magic: more spells, more magic items, more wizard/sorcerer/warlock options, and even different magic (blood magic, rune magic, demonology, ...) I want Dark Sun, more Ravenloft and maybe...

    Orc Priesthoods

    Today I was looking for some info on Yurtrus (because I'm looking into making a half-orc cleric of Yurtrus, or maybe a necromancer, for Out of the Abyss) and I found a link to a page that has the specialty priest classes I made for orcs waaaaaaay back in 2001 (I was using the beta version of D&D...

    D&D 5E Best FR novels of all time?

    The Moonshae Trilogy was my introduction to the Realms more than 25 years ago (and it was my second fantasy trilogy after the Chronicles of the Dragonlance) so it has a very warm spot in my heart. Haven't read it again in more than a 15 years so I'm not sure how well it aged but I remember it...

    SCL: Stumbled coming out of the gate or simply fallen on it's face?

    What most people are complaining about is not that the game itself is not D&D 5e but that the developers (and Wizards) advertised it as being a very close adaptation to the actual rules. And that is just not true. My complaints are with companies that make misleading marketing and give...

    SCL: Stumbled coming out of the gate or simply fallen on it's face?

    I'm sorry to say so (honestly, I really am), but they've reaped what they've sown.

    D&D 5E Future format of books that mimic SCAG: Will you buy them?

    Totally yes. Honestly, I find the crunch section somewhat lacking in number of options, but overall I think it is a really good player's guide. I hope they release more regions of the Realms and a DragonLance or Dark Sun book would be sweet too.

    SCL: Stumbled coming out of the gate or simply fallen on it's face?

    If you buy a game and find it is not of your liking, a refund shouldn't be requested, so I agree with you in many points there, but I disagree with others. Specially considering that the game it is *NOT* as advertised. That alone deserves a refund for misleading marketing. Which exactly what...

    SCL: Stumbled coming out of the gate or simply fallen on it's face?

    Cheated and lied to. They lied to us, as plain and simple as that. The game itself is bad (*very bad*) but the way they lied to us all is what's really driving me mad about all this fiasco of a game. The reviews are destroying the game but they're still way too kind.

    Sword Coast Legends

    2 out of 5 rating for Sword Coast Legends Under average graphics. Poor performance. Limited DM. Clunky UI. Not D&D *at all*. But the worst of all is that it is being advertised as the best D&D experience ever and that is just false. I'm sorry to say so, but this game has little to like about...

    My Sword Coast Legends First Impressions

    Those are my thoughts EXACTLY. My problem with the game is not with the game itself but with the way it was (and it is being) advertised. Because SCL it is NOT D&D (not even remotely).

    My Sword Coast Legends First Impressions

    I honestly believe that this game began its life as an independent action RPG and later, in the middle of development, it was somehow decided that it was going to be a D&D game. Even Mike Mearls didn't know of the game until GDC 2014. So all the developers did was to disguise their custom rules...

    Sword coast legend questions.

    But that's the thing... It is not a D&D computer game. If instead of advertising it as a D&D based game they'd done it as a game based on the Forgotten Realms (but with it own rules) there wouldn't be such uproar. It all boils down to misleading advertising, and thus wrong expectations. I'm...

    Head Start thoughts

    OK, didn't know about the WASD. Thank you for pointing it out. I always go for the arrow keys instinctively (I'm left-handed but use the mouse with my right hand). The graphics are always a subjective matter but I found them lacking for a 2015 game. Pillars of Eternity is a better looking game...

    SWORD COAST LEGENDS Trailer

    It doesn't follow the 5e ruleset even if it is being advertised as such. No spell system, no skills, no attacks of opportunity, no class features. Everything is based on a skill tree and cool-down abilities. Which is fine, but it is not D&D. It is a custom ruleset with a D&D coat of paint...
