    Rraarrr!

    D&D 5E Greyhawk?

    Greyhawk defined the genre. Greyhawk was only partially populated, so we could easily insert our own cities, adventure areas, kingdoms, whatever. We could make it our own. The map (except for the hexes) had the feel of early mapmakers

    D&D 5E 5E Player's Handbook owners: What's the current condition of your book's binding?

    Mine is fine. No problems so far for the other 4 books in our game. Of the roughly copies we have sold, only one has come back with the binding issue. ( I won't give numbers, but that is way under 1%)

    D&D 5E Rise of Tiamat Delayed

    Did they change that for the Rise of Tiamat and the DMG, because the PHB, MM, and HotDQ were all printed in the USA, as stated on the credits page of each.

    D&D 5E How many short rests?

    I just keep the clock ticking. The world and monsters don't stop just because the party takes a break.

    You mean in the only true D&D game. ;)

    D&D 5E "Monster density" and wilderness settlements in D&D campaign worlds

    Have a reason for the town to exist. Is it a particularly fertile area for farming, maybe for a money crop that only grows in special volcanic soil? Is it supporting a local mining operation? Is it a fairly new settlement of refugees? Now, what could have happened to stir up some monster...

    D&D 5E Favorite thing from the Monster Manual so far?

    My favorite thing is the story and inspiration provided with each monster.

    D&D 5E DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    The Alpha on the iPad works much better, but took a while to get there.

    D&D 5E Character sheet: Ability score or modifier in the big box?

    I prefer emphasizing the modifiers, but I believe all at the same table should do it the same way. And neither way is the "Correct" way or the "Wrong" way. (Except when the DM or group decides what is right or wrong at his/their table)

    D&D 5E Monster Manual Disclaimer

    Just noticed the disclaimer in the Monster Manual.

    D&D 5E What do you like to see in the Dungeon Master's Guide?

    It depends on what is meant by bringing back THAC0. If it is reversing the numbers for armor, leave it out. If it is attack bonuses vary depending on class, I'm interested.

    D&D 5E Amazon or Local?

    You need to ask yourself several questions. 1. What does that $20 represent to you? Is it a few drinks at Starbucks? Or is it a couple days groceries? 2. Do you want to be sure you get a copy without the smudged pages (pp140-141? If you buy it in-store you can check it out. 3. Do you want to...

    I didn't speak to them, so no indication right now. I will check on Monday.

    D&D 5E What the Monster Manual is missing

    It is on page 198 as a variant without a full stat block. (added) It is a variant of the Whip.

    D&D 5E Printer Errors in Some Monster Manuals

    We were notified by WotC today that some of the Monster Manuals have a printers error that caused smudging on pages 140 and 141. They seem to show up in batches, so it looks like there will be some shortages as some stores discover they have many books with the problem.

    Thanks! I missed this.

    D&D 5E The 5th edition PHB: Sorry but when it comes to functionality, it deserves a 'one star' rating.

    Contact Wizards Customer Service. We had the same problem with one of the books we sold.
