... so. Are people waiting for others to end it, or are people waiting for their local midnight? (90 minutes for me)

Yes, and we - that is, the online D&D community in general - are well known for our singularity of purpose and ability to agree on anything at all :-D

BECMI Dungeons and Dragons 17 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, 2nd Edition 9-2 = 7 Dungeons & Dragons, 5th Edition 18+1 = 19 I did love the feel of AD&D. I'm in the camp of people who considered the "AD&D 3e" tag that some people applied to 5e back when it was released to be a very good thing :-D

But not, I believe, here and in this thread.

It's interesting (not surprising so much, but still interesting) that we have ended up with a final three which represent the three big branches of d&d - od&d, ad&d and wotc. I wonder - do people think that these are the "best" (in at least some sense) of each of those lineages? (Somehow, I...

BECMI Dungeons and Dragons 27 Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, 2nd Edition 24 Dungeons & Dragons, Rules Cyclopedia Edition 11-2 = 9 Dungeons & Dragons, 5th Edition 19 + 1 = 20 I honestly thought 5e would be gone by now. I guess it's picking up a lot of people who would have voted for something...

I still think that the "worst" thing about 4e was that it wasn't just unexpected - it was unexpected and good. You don't get division like we saw from a flop. There wouldn't have been the passionate community if it hadn't been a really excellent game. It was just too polarising, so you had...

There was a missing +1 to 5e, yes (Check the post after mine). It's easily done (especially since the posts were only a few minutes apart). Anyway, more important things: 4e stands out for the bravery of its design, the soundness of its mechanics and for really innovating on the game. I will...

I am also waiting for my physical book. It's good to see someone else's opinion on the book. (I love the concept, and there are a few things I will be mining from it. I probably won't run it, but I know a number of people who this is a perfect fit for; I already know the first group I'm going to...

Right. But you aren't necessarily the market they have targeted for DM screens - and that market is clearly large enough for them to make around a dozen variants. Products don't have to be interesting to every single member of the playerbase. They just have to interest enough people for WotC to...

The thing is, the DM screen is one of the best items in d&d for serial re-creation: They're easy to manufacture (compared to, say, miniatures) They're far more likely to be used by a gaming group than most of the obvious things they could re-create a lot (miniatures, etc) The groups that use...

I will absolutely target downed PCs during a fight, but only when it feels like a reasonable response to the situation. Generally, that means when the PCs are fighting an intelligent enemy who is feeling hard-pressed, wants the party dead and when the PCs have displayed that they can bring a...

Because nobody (Including Copper dragons) was really any good at telling the difference between Tin and Zinc dragons.

I am annoyed with just how much the spelling is getting to me. It's just a name, damnit. Hell, it's a translated name, and I can see that other people have used that spelling. But every time I see it... wince.

That would fit really well a character I rolled up on Friday, actually. It's a concept I've wanted to try for a long while - a Wizard school dropout (who failed at school due to an uncontrollable "gift" for fey magic, not from a lack of study). So, applying the concept to those stats, you'd...
