I just don't want sunrods in 5th to be like they were in 4th. As in dirt cheap, and negating all lighting considerations.

Actually the drow set seems to have been the most popular one so far. Granted my perspective is from a GM of Encounters, and this season actually is promoting them more than usual. The new Drow Set is mainly used for Drow, in that the cards themselves promote your worth in Drow society. And...

Some DM's aren't as open to bribery as others... Also some DM's are more costly than WotC. And it wouldn't be something for all games, but it'd be interesting to know if there'd be enough of a market to keep something like this going. -- I'm half tempted to try and figure out how difficult this...

I like this idea, because I understand where it's coming from. These allow for players to create characters away from the GM. With dice there's no record of them being actual rolls without the GM witnessing it. If these could be dirt cheap no more than 25 cents a piece, or able to buy 100 for...

Level drain is difficult due to rewriting characters. And when you're rolling for hit points its even more of a pain. Permanent loss of stats or effects would be alright as long as the game recognizes it. Our flatter math helps this, loosing a point or two isn't going to put you too far off...

So the wizard save Knock for when he can best show up the ones whose specialty it's supposed to be? But either way, I don't think tossing a trap or a locked door into the mix fully compensates the thieves for fighters and wizards being awesome in combat. Rogue rolls a couple dice while the...

Maybe this isn't the place to put it, but it relates. I dislike the idea of memorizing multiples of the same spell. It pretty much laughs in the face of the whole memorization idea. You cast and forget fireball, but you still remember your OTHER fireball? I'd be fine with leaving slots open to...

Along the same line of 3.5's is more gamist by having such rules for a grid, because you're just approximating distances, when you should pull out the ruler and get it correct. -- Honestly though, I'm on your side here I didn't like how 4e handled squares. But it was a good excuse to get my...

Also of note "Wil Wheaton is Awesome" returned 4,540,000 results... Either way I don't think it really matters. I just find the fact that D&D makes for an excellent spectator sport to be very interesting. Yes its more along the lines of watching wrestling, the more the people cater to the crowd...

I don't suppose anyone put a thought to this (too busy arguing about story)... But they are effectively writing the rules for pre-adventurer characters. With writing multi-class rules as a separate progression (to avoid front loaded problems with multi-classing), you can instead start...

I ignore designer provided fluff. I'm only interested in their mechanics, because frankly we all have imaginations that can handle this. And we all know that once they provide fluff then you run into the complaints of the designers being too restrictive. With minimal fluff CaGI has many...

Dragon slaying is fine.. I think we'd just like to be rid of the default assumption that all items are +x... And item should be able to be magic without being +x.. A +x weapon should be just a +x and that's why its magical. It shouldn't be magical so therefore its +x.

I prefer the flat attacks and defenses. With only a minimal amount of scaling. Put the sliding scale on Hit Points and Damage. Since these are abstract representing dodge/luck/etc... This means that you are better at dodging/hitting in the fact that each hit on you is a smaller portion of your...

Fran the elderly seamstress should be like this... She can sew, she does it very well. Character complete. I don't need combat stats, unless you plan on fighting her. Chances are though, she doesn't fight and you can do whatever you want with her if you choose to go that route. Guess what...

I kind of agree with Ahnehnois here. The goblin chief is strange in wanting it to be a "solo". Why are the hero's so over matched by the goblin that he needs solo status? Dragon, Beholder, Ettin.. These are easily visible. The story should drive the creatures abilities. I could agree to some...

I'd allow the +1 at even levels to be put to another skill, it doesn't make it "Trained" until its at 3, but it would eventually get there. You'd get the bonuses for it, but if some task required you to be trained you wouldn't be able to do it. 6 levels to effectively have another skill at...

We're in the last hour of the kickstarter... Pledge $100 get 240 Miniatures! With lots of options to add more.. Best deal you'll ever see on miniatures.

I like this.. Might have to give it a try using 3d6. It seems more like creating the character, then finding out that they have a hidden talent... I might even do array first, create the rest of the character and last thing is roll.

Now that we've had some first taste of creation, is it up to your expectations, and what were your expectations? Now, I'm not saying does it have every class (or multi-class) you want (because after all not all are ready yet). I'm also not saying is it the exact mechanics you want (still being...
