    Must have book per edition

    1E: Dunno 2E: Dunno 3E: Eberron Campaign Setting 4E: If I can't choose DDI, then the Dark Sun Campaign Setting gets my nod. (I wish Eberron had gotten a good 4E book like the DSCS)

    Strongest racial animosity in D&D?

    Elves and Dragons. In Eberron at least.

    D&D 5E There are zero incarnations of swarm rules that I don't hate.

    More than one swarm in an encounter translates to "Do you have a controller/swordmage/dragonborn in the party? If yes -> Free pass to this encounter, if no -> Have fun with the clustergrind!" Minions and swarms together can make for a great balls to the wall henchman mobfest battle, better at...

    D&D 5E There are zero incarnations of swarm rules that I don't hate.

    I agree...I really hate the ways swarms work in older editions but I really don't want to have to roll for every attack roll when the party faces off against 50 rats. There needs to be an option that works out there and it needs to be explored and worked on. As both a long time DM AND player...

    Oops wrong topic, how do I delete?

    D&D 5E What should the skill list look like?

    More intensive and less artificial than 4E but less "omg why would I ever put points in you??" than Pathfinder.

    D&D 5E What should be the 5E default setting?

    I voted Eberron because other than Dark Sun, it's really the only setting specific material I will buy.

    Eladrin Swordmage Advance

    It reads: When you use your fey step racial power to teleport to a square adjacent to an enemy, you can make a melee basic attack against that enemy as a free action. ...Does this seem insane to anyone else? If you fey step adjacent to three enemies you get three basic attacks! Is this how it...

    D&D 5E Dinosaurs in 5E?

    I really hope we go back to the real world naming conventions that early 3.5/before used instead of the "Angrytooth Drake and Trihorn Behemoth" naming convention that took over after MM3 in 3.5 and is still in use in 4E. What's everyone else's feelings on the naming conventions of dinosaurs in...

    D&D 4E Dinosaurs in 4E?

    I just don't know why the stopped at Dinosaurs when it came to name changes. Horses and cows keeping the names they are called on Earth in D&D settings make no sense to me either, why shouldn't they be changed to Beefsteak Behemoth and Four Legged Neighstomper as well?

    How do i deal with an overwhelming Mage?

    I am having similar problems with an enchanter mage in my campaign. Part of the problem is the rest of the party isn't optimized and he is, but that's only part of the problem. Just looking at the at wills he gets they just put all of the rest of the party's at wills to shame. Psychic Strands...

    D&D 5E Monsters taking PC classes: I want it in Next.

    Monster stats and Character stats and the methods of creating each should remain distinctly separate.

    What kind of skills would make up this skill challenge? Negotiations with a Goblin?

    Unfortunately my Player's idea of diplomacy is to invade the keep, demand the Goblin King release the kids...or he dies. So they ended up surrounded by literally dozens of the Goblin King's troops. They fought their way through some of them to the place where the kids were held, fought a boss...

    Making my own gods

    I too am currently in the process of designing my own pantheon. The biggest problem I'm having at the moment is thinking up their names. Naming stuff seems to be a skill that is easy for everyone else but escapes me. What process do you use for thinking up names for your gods / goddesses?

    D&D 5E Fanbase Next

    I think the 4E/Pathfinder fanbase is pretty spot on for a fanbase that I would want. Creative, open minded, and willing to tell the corporations to go suck it if they aren't happy with scummy market practices.

    Settings - Advancing Timelines, Reimagining, Etc.

    Leave Eberron alone damn it! The 4E changes were bad enough!

    Scratch Ticket Stats Revisited

    I feel that it is my duty as a D&D player to shoot this down as hard as possible lest WOTC gets the idea that we want such a thing. Absolutely not. This isn't a good idea and the only entity to get any sort of benefit from this arrangement is WotC. No thanks.

    What is the best way to handle a chase scene?

    So my PC's are now running away from the Goblin King and his forces. They are fleeing the Winterbole Forest at high speed on three caravan carts. How would you suggest I run such an encounter? I don't even know where to begin on the scripting....
