Thanks for making that effort for me. I appreciate it.

Can I jump in here to ask a question? Does Foundry allow for rule mods or customization? Fer instance, if I wanted to use the 'proficiency without level' rule, would it automatically adjust the ACs and bonuses for everything, or could I go in and do it myself?

Some friends and I are finally giving into the curiosity and will be trying out D&D 5e. I've heard good things about the Starter Set, so will grab that and run the gang through Lost Mines of Phandelver. I'm not new to gaming, having played quite a bit of 3rd Ed back in the day. My question...

It's not that my location is wrong, just that my profile page doesn't have the little map square on the left side any more. I'm thinking I might've just turned it off somehow when I updated my profile.

I was dabbling with the Find A Game! tab and noticed my profile still showed me as living in Virginia and when I clicked a 'quick search', it showed a bunch of people around where I used to live. Now that I'm in California, though, I put my current location in my profile and BAM! No more...

I know it's anecdotal, but there was really no problem with my group at the time. It might have worked better because it was done in conjunction with all the other adventuring they did. After exploring and adventuring and blasting things (and even some speculative trade which didn't catch on...

I don't have any actual play experience with FASA's Star Trek, but the starship simulator game seemed sound to me. What I do have some experience with, though, is the very enjoyable starship battle system from Star Frontiers: Knight Hawks. Like the systems already described, it features...

I've a healthy amount of old mods from all editions I'd like to see used in 5e. When adapting older adventures, do you recalculate treasure?

From 2nd Ed., I'm a big fan of 'Under Illefarn,' 'Night Below,' and 'Return to the Keep on the Borderlands.' From 3rd, I'm thinking 'Crucible of Freya' or 'Hollow's Last Hope.' All favorite dungeon delves from past editions.

I confess, this is the answer I was expecting, but I'm honestly glad to hear that it also plays well with 3e. On the one hand, it doesn't help me choose which adventure from my library to choose for adapting, but on the other it sounds like I don't have to stress the work too much. If nothing...

My gaming library has a lot of good adventures from older editions I'd like to play with 5e. I've no experience playing 5th Edition, though, so from those of you who do, which edition do you think is easiest to adapt to 5e rules? A perfect scenario would be to crack open "Night Below" or "Tomb...

Ultimately, back in the day, getting gold WAS the objective, so you were basically getting XP for completing your objective. Personally, I think granting XP for gold rewards characters who have a purpose other than killing things. Sure you can give experience for disarming traps or...

See, this is something I'd be keen on. I think 3e's shift to granting majority XP to killing monsters is what lead to all classes being weighted by how well they killed things, and removed the premise that different classes were good at different things. I suspect that giving an XP option...

In addition to having the coolest forum name, Rod has the right of it here. I'm completely capable of using all the books I already have or can get as a pdf that I don't see any reason to buy a setting re-write just to have the 5e logo on the front. Where I DO want a setting revisit, though...

Wish I'd thought of this. I loved the Nerath setting and mythology. Trying to map 4e's Kord and the Raven Queen to the cleric's domains was, like, the first thing I did when I opened the Basic D&D pdf.
