    D&D 5E DMG release date pushed back

    Judging by the number of errors in the Player's Handbook, I think this is a good move.

    D&D 5E [Merged] D&D Next/5E Release Schedule Threads

    I'm going to buy this at my FLGS, you should all do the same. Keep it local.

    D&D 5E Joke Material Components

    I love them, they add a little spice and tongue in cheek that helps with the levity at the table for those who are observant.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Dragotha Lair 3e

    I actually ran it just recently. I did a map of the lair up in Dunjinni, it wasn't too bad. I adjusted some of the monsters a bit and added a bit more of a maze in the beginning, but it was pretty close to the original. It ran pretty smooth and the players were very frightened by Dragotha when...

    1st Edition PH Excerpts: Bard

    Bards were the best characters in the game. Basically epic in scope and power. I remember them having D6 hp all the way through 23rd level though, I will have to check my old copy.

    Yet another houserule for overnight healing

    The only problem with this is that it's still no better than a short rest where you decide to use all your HD at once. And at 1st level it's almost no help at all, since you start with a much larger HP pool than your HD can catch up with. One quick fix would be to change it to HD plus CON. So...

    D&D 5E How should combat maneuvers be handled in Next?

    This is what I am loving about the direction of Next, people are thinking and being creative. The core mechanics are solid enough to build any kind of combat system the DM wants to have at his table. They don't need to write a rule for every possible maneuver, a player can invent one at the spur...

    Covers for the AD&D 1E Reprints

    I was hoping for some new art in the old style. They look nice, just not what I was hoping for.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Can anyone suggest a D&D 3/3.5 'tutorial adventure' to run newbie players through?

    You should try The Caves of Shadow, it is an introduction to 3.0 and pretty basic, but it should introduce the product in an easy to digest manner

    Gambling Games

    I like the dice slots and slot variant(d8's) in the back of the old First edition DM's Guide. There are a few others in there too, I think In-Between is one of them.

    What do you think of Star Trek Online?

    I played it for about 6 weeks and it got boring fast. The ship combat was better than the land stuff, but there wasn't enough variety and a lot of glitches. I would suggest trying it for a month, and see if you can deal with it.

    How do you pronounce 'melee?'

    Personally I say ME LEE. Although a large fight may be referenced as a May Lay, and it wouldn't sound dumb. Lich = Litch Mana = Man a my 2cp

    RE: Reveille

    Wow! I just found this thread today. Reveille, I think you were in my WoW guild a few years back. Well, we had a Reveille, if you played it could have been you. Anyway, I was totally shocked to see you had slipped away from us. Reading all the posts I was truly frightened for Mandy and your...

    Forked Thread: Old PC games you wish you could play again

    I've been wanting to play Freedom force lately. SP2 killed it, and they never patched it :( There is also an old Skyrealms of Jorune RPG, Alien Logic, that was a blast (of dysho) :p Edit: Freedom Force has patch 1.3 that fixes the SP2 problem. I have been paying it the past couple days. Great...

    How severe would you rule the damage done?

    I would second the ruling that a Restoration spell would fix the damage. I have presented similar injuries to players and said they needed a full restoration to fix it. Considerably easier to obtain and cheaper than a regeneration spell. I they have access to a regeneration or a Heal spell of...
