    D&D 5E (2024) Representing afflictions in D&D 5e - which do you think work best/least dislike.

    D&D General 5 Cool Facts About the Inca and How to Use Them in D&D

    If this is true and applies to Valiant Adventures as well, I am on the borderline of demanding a reimbursement of my kickstarter backing, The character samples they posted for the Valiant Adventures Kickstarter updates had both.

    Diamond Comic Distributors Files Bankruptcy, Sells Alliance Game Distributors

    Diamond Comic Distributors Files Bankruptcy, Sells Alliance Game Distributors

    I should have been more accurate. He actually said thousands of books. Could it be 10K? 15K? more? I have no idea how many titles he has had printed or how large his print runs are for each title.
