    D&D 5E Are hardback AP's a waste?

    Wow, what a lot of deep analysis; clearly individual preference and perception is key to what people prefer here ... Hard covers have their place, primarily for the 'core' books that get a lot of use. Also for the large adventure compilations like 'Rise of the Runelords' they seem to make...

    Update on Mobile Apps

    I love the idea, but seems to be a lot of messing about to install it on the iPhone. Any other apps you can just go through the app store, simples. Your user base might suffer as most will just think, "nah, I can't be bothered with all that shenanigans"

    Recharging Magic Items

    This question has probably been brought up before, so sorry in advance for being a numpty and not spotting it in the forum, (is there a search facility btw?). BUT How do you recharge magic items in 3.5e ? I know there used to be a specific spell for it at one time when all the munchkin books...

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    LOL, caught me! (but I call it artistic licence). The point is still the same though, computers are now commonplace, and you aren't a geek if you have/own/use one.

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    Why can't playing online people challenge sitting round a table with people? Ok, so it's not what I prefer, but the topic was about crossover between the two. All I'm saying is that the gap between computers and P&P has closed significantly with NWN, and there will be others to follow judging...

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    WARNING: There are, (IMHO), good reasons that until now the crossover is small: 1) For a long time to come computer AI will not be able to replace the challenge of playing the game with "real" people. The only way to get this experience is to go online which until quite recently was not...

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    Even if there was no Open Gaming Licence you would STILL get products that suck. Well, we did in the 90's didn't we? I stopped buying D&D stuff because it was so bad, expensive with little content. I'm sure there were some good things but I became quite negative after seeing some dreadful...

    ETools - Customablility

    Hi, Does anyone know how the customised part of e-tools will work? I'm hoping that if you get a new supplement with say, a new prestiege class or new feats thet can be easily typed in? If so I am then really hoping that the "custom" section is a separate file that could be distributed? Any...

    Dragon/Dungeon sold, Chainmail axed

    I wouldn't want Dragon as general RPG mag; it should stay D&D. I have no need for general RPG mag, because I'll get all the info on non D&D games from the web. Crunchy bits for D&D I don't get from the web, so I'll buy the mag. No gerneral as in other systems, but general as in a wider range of...

    Dragon/Dungeon sold, Chainmail axed

    Hmmmm, hold on let me get my soap box. I've read most of the posts on this so far and want to summarise a few thoughts on what has been said. 1) Chainmail was always going to be a tough game to get going mainly I think due to the competition, (Games Workshop as the prime example). I don't...

    The lovely stupidity of some players...

    Stupidity or inexperience? At University I DM'd for a mixed group of experienced and newbie players. I ran - X2 Castle Amber ("Chateau d'Amberville"). At one point he PC's set up a secret meeting with one of the bad guys in a place of his choosing, (a barn, which is in fact an illusion). A...

    MM Errata - Error or wierd rule?

    Hi All, I just read the MM Errata and am confused by two entries on the last page: "p198 - The Lizard's bite damage should be 1d4-4" "p199 - The Owl's damage entry should be: claws 1d4-2" Two issues: With the lizard is this saying that it can't actually do any damage? Or that you disregard...
