I couldn't agree more with this. It has really surprised me. It's a really fun quick game and the fact that you can change classes, means that it has great replay value. I'm certainly going to get the expansion pack.

I've played a game based on the French Revolution and the Enlightenment, where 'science and logic' were the discovery of magic as a science. It was awesome.

I like the rules of 3.5 the best, but flavor/fluw-wise, I really like 4e.

I welcome his change. NPC stat blocks take up a lot of space for stuff that aren't really necessary and can mostly be improvised on the spot, especially if there are some small guidelines about how strong the NPCs and whether he is more strong/intelligent/social etc. You don't need the entire...

I've been trying to get into the Age of Sigmar universe. This might be what I need.

I'd be interested in that as well. It would certainly fit my play style and would allow me to place some location/region right into my game world. And I also completely agree with you about Ravnica. It's a really amazing book if you give it a chance. The factions are really flavourful and easy...

I think you’d have diffiiculty balancing some classes, as some get more cantrips than others. How are you going to compensate the sorcerer, for example. That class gets more cantrips than a wizard, but now they only need an item and can cast such a cantrip? Having said that balance concern, I...

You are not. I think their goofyness is great to watch and read, but doesn't fit other lore of the FR well.

Maybe you mean mangrove forests? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangrove

I think the aim should most likely be to make them stand apart and give them unique magical abilities that fit with the creatures you mention and maybe have all the different magical artifacts also similar in a certain way. For example, what if the wielder of such an artifact takes on certain...

Riddles are a good part of fantasy stories, but I don't think riddles make good 'challenges' in a roleplaying game. In a combat encounter, there are enough opportunities to progress, to fall behind, and respond to succes or failure. If one combat round didn't go well, you have to suffer the...

I'm interested in hearing your experiences! I've received the book as a gift and have already made 2 groups of magic players interested in playing D&D next month. Going to give DM'ing it a try. I'm currently reading through the book and making notes. I'm really focussing on the different...

Yeah, maybe something similar to Volo's guide to monsters? Primarily aimed at DM's, with also some cool options for players.

Thanks, I had missed that. This does change my opinion on the sub-class in a more favorable direction.

I agree. Even with the mistake corrected, I dislike the way the sub-class is executed, precisely because you get so few arcane shots. It's even worse if you miss, because than you've used one of your very limited uses. Personally, I would have given the arcane archer a kind of Eldritch blast...
