Hey folks, A slot is available over on rpol.net for any who wish to join a stalwart party in exploring the Realms of Aventuria! Its still accepting players, so if you have been hankering for a play by post TDE fix, here is your chance: Currently the group of heroes consisting of an...

AD&D2e had spheres to differentiate priests, while 3e/Pathfinder have domains. 5e has subclasses. My problem is there is no way to differentiate clerics in swords and wizardry. I don't need anything as detailed as specific spell lists, as the spells available are already so few. But special...

So, the wand of CLW was in many games a necessary evil. I managed to avoid the problem in 3e with it by allowing auto heal for every 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep and keeping super hard encounters to a minimum. How has 5e dealt with that problem aside from full heal after long rest (sleeping)...

It's challenge 10 I think (away from book atm) which means a party of 4-5 level 10 pcs can beat it. Right?

I am planning an adventure/mini campaign with an aboleth as the big bad and the final climatic battle. I was wondering if anyone has played it or played against it as a PC, and how it went. Any tips/advice would be appreciated. What is the minimum level PCs can take on an Aboleth and hope to...

It will be Wheel of Time folks, and it will be HUGE news to many people, due to the richness of the setting and the vast character and background types as well as the type of games that can be run in that setting. You can have games with tons of intriuge where no sword is ever raised, or you...

So will we be seeing new character options in the Adventurers Handbook? Who is it being written by, WOTC or a 3rd party?

Starting at a higher level can net you a magic item as per the DMG if you follow the guidelines, especially for high magic campaigns, but you get the magic items along with money. You don't have to deduct the cost of the items from your gold. Also, again, does anyone have an idea how much...

How exactly? Can you provide concrete examples? If yo mean save or die spells or the fact that only 1 spell can be concentrated on at a time, these are good things. No more spending rounds and slots on buffs and buffs; that was utterly ridiculous. Have you ever read a fantasy novel or seen a...

I have a friend whose 3rd cousin on his mother's side works in the building just a few squares away from WOTC head office. He says they have begun work on D&D 6e. It will be totally digital and has been designed to work best on the occulus rift.

Now that folks have the DMG, are there any guidelines on what PCs can spend gold on, aside from Keeps and Followers? I am starting a game with the PCs at a higher level, so they have plenty of extra gold as per the preview page of the DMG. They also have an uncommon magic item each which I...

So, does the DMG have any boons for DMs to grant to pcs as rewards? If not are there any tips on what to reward PCs for something extraordinary, instead of just magic items?

Get 'Sex, Dice and Gamer Chicks' by Mongoose. It will teach you how to game when you are alone with your girl. Take a free tip from me, make sure she sees you reading the book. You're welcome.

So the review of the DMG by Neuroglyph confirms NPC creation rules are in. While i was a big fan of D&D4e's unique monsters approach, something which has been kept to a large extent in 5e, one thing I really do miss from 3e was the simple NPC classes, for making humanoid enemies and NPCs, like...

Same day the Star Wars trailer comes out.... OMG! Disney is going to buy D&D!!
