    BTW, I believe that is a clay pipe the halfling stuck behind his ear.

    D&D 5E What's coming out for D&D in 2017?

    They already released a new version of the Icons of the Realms Starter Set without Drizzt. He was replaced by a new figure (bottom center), the others in the set are the same sculpts as the first set, with new paints. These came out about 2 months ago.

    D&D 5E Do you use the flanking rule?

    While I have been using flanking, I am now reconsidering. I had not thought about how it devalued certain abilities.

    D&D 5E Do you want a Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide?

    I voted yes, but what I would prefer to see would be a boxed set with maps of the whole world, including Kara-Tur, Al Qadim, Maztica, and everything else. Then the same treatment each for worlds of Greyhawk, Mystara, Eberron, and Athas. Full world treatment has never been done on any of these...

    D&D 5E Do you use the flanking rule?

    We use minis and grid, so flanking is a natural. It works for and against the PCs, and seems to not slow our combats.

    D&D 5E Isle of Dread

    Playtest version was done before the monsters had been playtested, so you will need to replace with MM versions. Watch the CR of the monsters, as some changed.

    D&D 5E Death and Dying in 5e

    Good point. So much for that idea.

    D&D 5E Death and Dying in 5e

    I'm thinking of trying out a new twist. For each failed death save, pick up a level of exhaustion.

    Minis or Theatre of the Mind? (Survey)

    Minis for marching order and most combats. ToM for most exploration and social encounters. Though I often put a mini on the table that is a good representation in social encounters just for a focus.

    D&D 5E Monster Menagerie II Clue for Next Adventure?

    I have to agree, probably not Ravenloft again. The text over on the WotC site mentions Mind Flayer, Androsphinx, and Iron Golem. Edit: removed comment about beholder. Side of package shows beholder figure.

    D&D 5E Monster Menagerie II Clue for Next Adventure?

    The Case Incentive for Monster Menagerie I (release date Jan 30) includes Ezmerelda's Wagon. http://wizkids.com/dd-icons-of-the-realms-monster-menagerie-ii/ Does this mean hint that the next adventure returns us to Ravenloft?

    Houserule Analysis: More HP

    The monsters gain a little more than the characters do, by half 1 hit die minus 1 point, as the PC's first hit die is already maxed, but the monster's is not.

    Why there won't be a "Player's Handbook II"

    He wasn't talking about RPG veterans, he was talking about potential new customers to RPGs. He was talking about Mom or Dad or Gramma who is picking up something off a Christmas list. Those people familiar with getting the newest, most advanced system or game. Johnny wants a Players Handbook...

    Why there won't be a "Player's Handbook II"

    I was at the Dungeons & Dragons panel at Gamehole Con this past weekend. One thing that was brought up by Jeremy Crawford (if I remember correctly) was the reason for not wanting to use a name like Player's Handbook II. It seems that in our electronic games dominated world, people see a title...
