    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    Not yet, no. I am aware that Draw Steel does things fairly differently from 4e, such as dropping binary to-hit rolls in favor of a tiers-of-success check. I'm presently running 13th Age 2e, which also doesn't do it quite like 4e did, but does work better for a shorter two-hour timeslot that...

    We All Won – The OGL Three Years Later

    Even with WotC moving the 5e SRDs to a CC-BY 4.0 license, I don't think that undoes the harm done by WotC. Any time a hobbyist or independent designer who wants to do their own remix on F20 games but doesn't because they are afraid of screwing up the licensing between multiple, maybe...

    Where do we stand on Harry Potter?

    Also check out Standard E-books, while they don't have as much, their work tends to be nicer formatted for reading with ebook readers and programs: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/lord-dunsany (Just passing through, I'm trans and such but I'm not active here so, uh, yeah! Mods are doing good...

    A text question

    This is how I would word it: 1. ...[on a hit,] the target takes 10 damage. This damage cannot reduce the target's current HP below 1. 2. Roll to hit against up to three targets. Choose one target that was hit in this way, they are slowed... [by X speed].

    D&D 5E (2014) Most annoying / awesome magic items

    I love the Girdle of Femininity/Masculinity. I don't think of it as an annoying cursed item, I think of it as a fun way to toy with gender norms and stereotypes. I hate all of the cursed items in the AD&D DMG that more or less read: "this looks exactly like a really cool magic item and you...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many adventurers are in your world?

    None in my games, and not even the PCs: they should be more than hobo-murderers. They should be citizens, militia-men, members of shadowy organizations, merchants, clergy, and more. An identity as an adventurer is silly: "I'm an adventurer because I adventure!"

    D&D 5E (2014) MoFlow Initiative Tracker v2 Now on Google Play Store

    Are the 5e creature assets you've included in your Github repo also free as in freedom? I'm no lawyer, but I'm concerned that you (and anybody forking it) might end up in hot water because of their inclusion. I know WOTC has been permissive with the usage of material from the "Basic" version...

    For those who don't generally like to use Campaign Settings, what's your favorite one?

    When I'm running, I tend to make a setting using re-skinned bits and pieces from other settings and modules. I might have a city that is inspired by Baldur's Gate here, then a port town inspired by this or that (I'm a shameless thief!). Outside of this, though, there are two settings I'd...

    How many people do you know who haven't switched to 5e, and why haven't they?

    Could you elaborate on this, please? I've done a read-through of the rules and I'm not sure where this comes from -- not that I doubt that it works this way for you! Which pieces of the design bring this out in your game?

    How many people do you know who haven't switched to 5e, and why haven't they?

    IMO, the word being sought for is "depth." While 5e is my preferred system, I too think some depth was lost in the process to make it more streamlined. Some of the optional rules in the DMG are cool are cool and put some back in without much added complexity, but that's a different matter. I am...

    Do you allow electronics at your gaming table?

    I answered yes, but only the DM uses them at the table. I use a netbook to pull up stat blocks for foes and as well as an initiative tracker. Players are permitted to use electronics, but I try to ensure that they have access to print materials at the table (especially spells). I run 5e, so...

    Which of these would you like to see in 2015 from WotC?

    I voted for more rules, as that was the closest thing to what I wanted: modules that were promised but didn't seem to make the cut for the DMG or weren't ready. I'm still hopeful for the mass combat rules, kingdom management, etc. so I can more easily run a game with those elements. Also...
