    D&D 5E Amazon's current ranking of the DMG.

    It's #1 in Fantasy Gaming. Which might be expected.

    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks Realms & Sundering

    I don't think he's advocating doing it again. I think he's suggesting it should have been set on Krynn in the first place. Edit: Err... not to speak for @Giltonio_Santos or anything. (sorry!)

    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks Realms & Sundering

    I agree. With a few tweaks, Tyranny of Dragons could easily have been a re-imagining of the War of the Lance. It shares so many similarities it's kind of astonishing.

    D&D 5E Perception checks, searching a room, listening at a door, etc etc

    Make the others "help" instead of attempting individual checks. That's what I do.

    D&D 5E How well can your players and NPCs maintain concentration for spells?

    And how well does it work for disrupting their concentration?

    D&D 5E Basic Rules Update?

    I'm guessing they'll expand the available magic items, primarily. Maybe add in traps and hazards.

    [UPDATED] CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR: Watch the UI Overview

    I'm disappointed that they just added some music. I really think this would have been better sold if they'd had a voice-over telling us exactly what we're looking at. Sure, I can extrapolate from what's going on on the screen, but sometimes I don't know where I'm supposed to be looking and so...

    D&D 5E How well can your players and NPCs maintain concentration for spells?

    It's one of those rules that I frequently forget until 2 rounds later. I'm still training myself to ask for checks.

    D&D 5E Pixies

    Thanks for the link, Will Doyle. Actually, one of those pregens will work perfectly for an NPC I need next session, so... woohoo!

    D&D 5E Again the Banishment spell ruined my game !

    DMZ2112 Do your combats really run hours? That's what I'm loving more than anything else in 5E -- good or bad, a fight is over in 20 minutes, tops.

    D&D 5E Again the Banishment spell ruined my game !

    The best way to end these shenanigans is to hit the wizard. Hard. Once concentration drops, the spell ends and the banished creature gets right back in the action.

    The DUNGEON MASTER'S GUIDE is out today!

    Yay! Now they can talk about new stuff! (It's never enough. I am insatiable.)

    D&D 5E LMoP Item Reward Question - minor spoiler?

    I think it's just something to marvel over without any real game impact. Maybe introduce players to the idea of creating items out of unusual materials (ironbark, mithril, etc). "Oh, look, a stick." "Hmm. It's lighter than it looks." "Cool! How much can we sell it for?"

    D&D 5E Have you calculated your PC's CR?

    I don't have access to the list of abilities that modify CR, but a thumbnail version of a level 5 ranger in my campaign based solely on the chart('s picture on my phone)... Defensive CR: 1/2, boosted to 2 for his AC. Offensive CR: 3, not boosted. Final CR: 2.5, rounded up to 3. Seems close...

    Fey are easy. Cold iron. I'll let someone else do the other 39.

    D&D 5E Why should I allow Multiclassing ?

    We should absolutely ban fighters. Fighters are OP.

    D&D 5E D&D Expeditions: Scenarion by Scenario game updates

    Any initial impressions from the adventures you've run previously?

    D&D 5E Why should I allow Multiclassing ?

    I'd just like to point out that I think both sides of the argument are feeling equally attacked by supporters on the other side. Just something to keep in mind.

    D&D 5E Why should I allow Multiclassing ?

    I'm actually reminded of a character my girlfriend wanted to play. She was going to be a fighter who had been called to become a paladin, but didn't think she lived up to the code required. Her major arc was going to involve psychologically accepting her fitness to be a paladin (and thus...

    D&D 5E Why should I allow Multiclassing ?

    It does, obviously, at mine. I'm okay with my PCs being unique individuals, not just templates following a recipe in the PHB. I hated it in V:tM, honestly. A Ventrue was a Ventrue was a... If they want to adhere to a trope, great! If they don't, that's great too. It's a playstyle thing...
