    Monarch of the Monsters: Kobold Press' 5E Monster Design Contest

    Yes, to to the contest, certainly, but the prize includes: I presume that's not designing monsters for Pathfinder.

    Age of Worms Adventure Path

    4 out of 5 rating for Age of Worms Adventure Path This AP has an excellent start in the small town of Diamond Lake. A connection they ought to have done more with. The later scenarios are generally very good, but some are boring dungeon crawls.Brilliant Greyhawk stuff.

    Monarch of the Monsters: Kobold Press' 5E Monster Design Contest

    May we surmise that the kobolds have some inside information about the licensing system?

    What's the most anticipated RPG of 2015?

    Unknown Armies, now on this side of 2000. Burning Empires - new edition, hopefully. HeroQuest Glorantha And I'll have to mention Moseguard again, just because its Mouseguard.

    WHAT'S IN THE BOX? A Look Inside The ELEMENTAL EVIL Board Game!

    I have some vague memory about that, now that you mention it. A new game in their, frankly, rather popular and selling series of boardgames based. I'm very interested to see how this will differ from the earlier. Will the rules have changed to reflect 5e more? I presume Wizards would want...

    D&D 5E Warlocks and there patrons

    For a more interesting story to develop as the campaign rolls on, let the patron be a moderately powerful being. The top brass are only interesting in commanding, but the gals and guys in between are more interested in talking and wheeling and dealing. And of course the demoniacal/devilish...

    D&D 5E 5e Fonts?

    The main text is Scala Sans. If you open the pdfs and look in the properties you can see what fonts are used.

    D&D 5E Rethinking Attributes

    But, ah, uh... What a weird thing to do, I always thought that was one of the good parts of the game. That means that Hero System probably leads in number of base stats today.

    D&D 5E Rethinking Attributes

    It is interesting to see this discussion taken up once again, now for this edition. It has a long tradition - the first time I saw it was for AD&D1 (in Dragon or Possibly White Dwarf), but I have since seen even older articles discussing it for OD&D. Unearthed Arcana tried to implement...

    D&D 5E Blindsight Discussion: What Crawford tweeted

    You go by the odd notion that rules are what decides the descriptions, and not the reverse. I know what a shark is, and a bat, and the description of the grell describes its senses. The rules attempt to codify that. We are creating a sort of fiction when we play RPGs. It's a very special...

    D&D 5E Blindsight Discussion: What Crawford tweeted

    You are assuming that blindsight is a single thing. A shark, a bat, and a grell use different senses as their blindsight. Smell, echolocation and sensitivity to electrical fields have different subtle advantages and drawbacks - blocking one does not necessarily block the others. They would...

    D&D 5E I believe the Greyhawk Campaign setting was a missed opportunity for Wizards of the Coast.

    Well then, we started at the same time, but for me Mystara was never anything I took notice of. My first DM was an OD&D player converted to AD&D, and had a lot of old magazines and such. The release of the new Basic, Isle of Dread, and consequently Mystara, passed me by almost entirely, being...

    D&D 5E Adding Cantrips for Wizards

    I'm all for allowing wizards to learn more cantrips, at the same cost as 1st level spells, but only prepare as many as the chart says. It isn't exactly powerful, but good for utility and variety. You could also allow wizards to learn them as spells, and use spell slots to cast them...

    D&D 5E I believe the Greyhawk Campaign setting was a missed opportunity for Wizards of the Coast.

    Of course they have to go with FR. They have to get it going again to sell their books. It used to be an important part but hs plummeted with all the change they've brought. I don't think they're going about it the right way, though. But concentrating all fans to like the books, as well as...

    DRAGON & DUNGEON Magazine PDFs Coming To An Online Store Near You!

    Very nice, I hope to see more - in particular older issues. But USD 5 is a bit steep.

    CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR - Is This The End, Or Is There More To Come?

    Morrus is actually doing them a bit of a disservice posting their updates - it had been better for them to wither silently, or put down roots before they were heard of again.

    CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR - Is This The End, Or Is There More To Come?

    Their communication skills are awful. What they say clearly is self aggrandizing hyperbole, and that all who do not back them are stupid. And this without showing a half decent product nor have a record of making such. Nor do they write a good story. But not trying to say something is a step...

    D&D Attack Wing Starter Set

    5 out of 5 rating for D&D Attack Wing Starter Set Dragons dog fighting in the skies. What could go wrong?Seriously, this is a nice game. Taking the Flightpath basic system (Wings of war, X-Wing, and the immediate predecessor Star Trek: Attack Wing) and making it more interesting by adding a...

    D&D 5E Katana in 5th edition - finesse?

    The distinctions between one, two and one-and-a-half handed swords is basically academic. Apart from occasional weird weapons most were used the way the situation required, not dictated by the weapon. The katana is one example, but so are most mediaeval swords. Lindybeige has some good points...

    D&D 5E Most common saving throws?

    Yeah, getting proficiency in Cha or Int saves for your class basically means you only get one good save. :/
