    D&D (2024) Hobby Store Exclusive (Special Cover) PHB Pre-Orders Cancelled

    There is a delay and shortage of the alternate cover in Hungary as well. I hope the normal one arrives soon.

    D&D (2024) How many combats do you have on average adventuring day.

    I never understood why not assume 1 per long rest and design the system around that assumption.

    2d20 Heroes of Might and Magic RPG from Ubisoft and Modiphius

    I like the 2d20 system and whatever came from Modiphius is top quality (sor far). I'm definitely looking forward to it.

    D&D General D&D without Resource Management

    I would be OK with that. I think damage should be dealt by the fighter types and magic is there for all the other things (no, magic is there to counter magic). Based on what you describe, you have seen some really f*up groups (excuse my language). While I have seen some - to me - strange...

    D&D General D&D without Resource Management

    We had a full campaign and in most if not all fight we started totally rested. Combat was just not the focus of the story. Urgency and danger can be conveyed without battering players down to single digit hp. In most if not all group I have played so far, none enjoyed the wargame aspect of D&D...

    D&D (2024) The Cleric should be retired

    I said that is has a role, but the adenturing cleric has not literary backup. Friar Tuck is a monk (in a D&D class way too) Saints come from various background. Two of the Hungarian kings are saints, and none would fit the cleric role (one could fit a paladin though). The miracle working hermit...

    D&D General D&D without Resource Management

    I admit I hate the strategic resource management part of D&D. We never ever do 6-8 encounters a day. 1-2 most likely. My grievance with the system is the meta thinking on the behalf of the players: they want to foresee when to use their resources. (we only play level 1-5, so resources are always...

    D&D (2024) Should shields, like Simple weapons be available to all characters?

    But then are wizards fighting men who can sometimes cast fireball? I imagine them as the bookish type who were for some reason dragged around but still does not like close combat. Raistlin was not with a shield. Dandelion in the Witcher books did not much fight (ok, he was a bard/rogue, but...

    D&D (2024) The Cleric should be retired

    Paladin was this narrowly defined class, but clerics were also narrowly the mace swinging Templar/Hispitaler type of christian holy man. In 5e with oaths paladin is more of a champion of a cause. Arcana Unearthed / Arcana Evolved (from Monte Cook) has a champion class which is actually a much...

    D&D (2024) Should shields, like Simple weapons be available to all characters?

    I'm also against most characters having weapon proficiencies. Anyone can take up an axe and a shield. That does not make anyone a warrior. Ask yourself the question, how many of you actually had any weapon training in his/her life? (and we are the subsection of society that are actually...

    D&D (2024) The Cleric should be retired

    I think this topic is important! Not that anyone would like the cleric as a class to go (I certainly don't), but I would prefer a bit more focus. There is a dearth of clerics as @Chaosmancer wrote in the literature. Even D&D literature is not very keen on clerics. Goldmoon comes to my mind...

    Worlds of Design: Searching for Mechanics

    Wasnt somethig like attuning used in Earthdawn? It was actually a long process to unlock the full potential of a magic item. I do search for mechanisms. I'm still searching for a magic system with spells and mama point to replace the Vancian system of D&D

    D&D 5E World Building: Tech, Magic, and Society

    most talks focus on arcane magic, but IMHO the biggest change is divine magic. Divine magic is more accessible as there are more people willing to devote itself to a deity than to decades of mind twisting study. And this devotion has a very tangible feedback: divine spells. Now, there is no...

    Can you be more specific on what aspect is not for you? I just want to understand the downside of it amids the cheering.

    D&D (2024) Kickstarter is live for Tales of the Valiant from Kobold Press - this 5.5e

    For me, EnWorld is the only international D&D/RPG forum that I read, so I like if a diverse array of RPGs/ D&D variants are discussed. I have Level Up, and for me they are not in competition (will have both)

    D&D (2024) Kickstarter is live for Tales of the Valiant from Kobold Press - this 5.5e

    Is it? I kind of expected many more topic on it here. This is all about the next edition of 5e, so ToV included.

    Paizo Posts New Draft of ORC License

    It was always about the creators. As creators lost faith in the OGL as a safe harbour, there is a niche for a safe one. I mostly just read gaming stuff, but I keep tab on the development of this license as I might need it in the future.

    New Werewolf: The Apocalypse Coming This Summer

    Werewolf is about horror stories for adults. It parallels their (our) life. You play a superhuman who could take on anything 1:1 but the larger world conspires against them. They fight a loosing war, even if they win all their battles. So while one can play Werewolf as a straight territory...

    D&D (2024) What the 1e-2e Transition Can Tell Us About 5.5e

    I came to AD&D in 89/90 so it was 2e in full swing. Hungary being former Soviet Block, anything from the USA was hard to get. There were some 1e books around thus we could glimpse some of the changes. We always thought that the main reason for the edition change was option (d): catering to the...
