    D&D 5E Was Tempest an odd choice for PC-centric domain?

    Yeah we were pretty amused that the trickery domain maps to cinematic Loki's powers pretty much 1:1

    D&D 5E I can haz WILD MAGE and the first DRAGONBORN art?

    Just posting this for some historical perspective From Tome of Magic, 1991 Finally, not even the randomness of wild surges should be allowed to ruin the story of an adventure. As ultimate storyteller and arbiter of the game, the DM can overrule any wild surge he deems too destructive to the...

    D&D 5E Why does the "criminal" background start with low wealth?

    One adventure and they're all criminals anyway, if they're doing it right.

    D&D 5E I can haz WILD MAGE and the first DRAGONBORN art?

    I'll be honest, I had no idea how much I missed Wild Magic until today. I mean, it's been over twenty years since I last saw it at a table and it really was a lot of fun.

    D&D 5E Knowledge: Nobility and Local?

    I agree. I also don't think it's a coincidence that the 2e term 'proficiency' has been repurposed in 5e, but that's neither here not there.

    D&D 5E Knowledge: Nobility and Local?

    I thought you said "Init" roll . . . then I realized Initiative is probably the best roll to discover what a monster's abilities are.

    D&D 5E Barbarian preview!

    I *love* that the PHB Barbarian looks much more like Jeremiah Johnson than he does Conan, Thrud, or Gringr. Just because you are an antisocial murder machine doesn't mean you are more comfortable in a posing pouch than a nice pair of breeches and a leather coat.

    D&D 5E Have you played 5E yet?

    Ran one session of the starter adventure (and had a great time) then decided that 14 years of being the DM was enough so I passed the screen to another and am now playing through it.

    D&D 5E Played our first D&D Next Session - Questions and Impression

    Thanks---I completely missed that. (and I'm starting to see why at-wills don't really work in an old-school game).

    D&D 5E Played our first D&D Next Session - Questions and Impression

    Unless I've misread the rules, how did he move/attack/move? I thought you could only move once with an action.

    D&D 1E Should 5e adopt 1e style arcane magic?

    *points to sorcerers, reserve feats, warlocks, player-crafted wands/scrolls and just about every other FRPG on the market* Yep. Nobody ever wanted more than a couple spells per day.
