    DriveThruRPG Hacked

    Luckily (after checking my order history) I was not affected by this as all of my purchases on the site over the time period were for 0.00, not requiring a payment method. However, I'm surprised that is all the company did after losing the information of X customers. Typically companies provide...

    I Did Something I've Never Done Before in 38 Years of Gaming...

    Congratulations and Holy Cow!!! What a fantastic story and achievement! You basically have described and accomplished what I would love to do with my children (4 total - Mom plays too) in the campaign. It makes for fantastic memories and passing on (with any hope) the game to a new generation...

    D&D 5E Character Options

    In my home group none of the PCs have expressed any interest in either multiclassing or feats (all PCs are currently 6th level so it's still early). Strangely enough this group consists of three serious min/max'ers from 3e forward; if I had to speculate why it is that they haven't really started...

    D&D 5E 1 Year later: D&D still strong on amazon

    I can tell you that in my neck of the woods (southeast Texas - aka the home of "D&D is evil demon-worship" camp) that more people, especially those 18-25, seem to be interested in D&D specifically. I personally have met 20+ folks that were walking into the FLGS (which just had to rent a space...

    D&D 5E Are you happy with how WOTC's D&D department interacts with the fans (Frequency/ Transparency/Methods)?

    I can't wait for this poll to go for about two weeks and see where the numbers end up. I personally am satisfied with the communication from WotC, seeing as they are not really required to interact with their customers at all. As numerous people have already stated previously, between Facebook...

    D&D 5E [post-Sword Coast announcement] Speculation about WotC's product release schedule

    I'll cast my vote for Option A, as it seems more easily achievable with a light headcount and (seemingly) more emphasis around partnerships with other publishers in order to create adventures. Without going back and rereading the announcement about the Sword Coast setting book if WotC is doing...

    D&D 5E D&D Success Story

    Congratulations! It's always fun to read about a successful effort to bring new players to the hobby. While you may not feel that it had anything to do with your GM'ing skills, someone has to be able to walk the new players through the maze of rules and be able to make a decision regarding...

    Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide: The First Official D&D 5E Setting

    For the price point of $39.99 I really, REALLY hope that there's a lot of good information regarding the current state of the Realms included. I know this may be peanuts for some in the hobby but seeing that this used to be the going price for entire campaign settings (yes, I know like 10 years...

    Gay Rights

    Not...exactly one event a year. Based upon a quick google search (http://www.gaypridecalendar.com if you're interested) I found quite a list of events, some with entire months of the year. To be clear I don't realistically believe that an entire city would be brought to bear for an entire month...

    Gay Rights

    My only response would be to care out of common courtesy/decency and mutual respect. If that's not enough, well then it's a lost cause.

    Gay Rights

    While I admit that I have not read the entire thread, I must say that reading your post almost seems like because Bullgrit's stance and mine are similar that I should not bother responding to the thread. Is this how you meant it to come across? As we all know, written communication is...

    D&D 5E Podcast on the current state of 5e

    I'm looking forward to more content for 5e but I'm not in a huge hurry for it as some seem to be. To be sure, everyone likes more options and hates radio silence from the creators, but I believe their explanation of why things are the way they are was acceptable as well (despite my own personal...

    D&D 5E If the characters are super optimized should the monsters be boosted too?

    Since the party has 1-2 "extra" players I would recommend bumping the CR by 1-3 levels, depending on your playstyle. If these are all experienced players (at that level I assume they have played their characters from level 1) then they have a solid grasp of tactics. Additionally, with the...

    Gay Rights

    Thank you for the compliment. Courtesy has become far too rare in this world so it becomes more noticeable...white hats in a black world and so on... Also, I was under the mistaken impression that pride events were akin to the civil rights marches of the 1960s rather than a spring break event...

    Gay Rights

    Regarding gay rights, same-sex marriage, etc. If you want to get married (you're more foolish than I thought - why on earth anyone would really want to get married is beyond me) then more power to you. I've worked in extremely close proximity with homosexuals (being in the military in the...

    D&D 5E How do you prepare/build encounters in 5e? (Poll)

    When preparing encounters that are not already part of an adventure path (right now my group is playing through HotDQ so segregating those encounters) I typically will go through the appropriate CR list for the PCs level, then build according to storyline rather than guidelines in the DMG...

    D&D 5E Is One Year Old!

    Happy birthday to the preferred system for my group. We used to be all 3.5 and PF - and then there was 5th. I really would like to see the sales records for this edition when compared side by side to previous editions. I can't help but be curious to see where it is.

    D&D 5E Tyranny of Dragons: Integrating the Bonds

    With specific interest to the background where Talis the White needs a tie-in...if you're in Episode 3 and the characters have not made it to Mondath's chamber then you could have correspondence between the two (Talis and Mondath) that is discovered upon the party searching Mondath's quarters...

    New D&D Survey: What Do you Want From Older Editions?

    I chose FR, Eberron, Greyhawk and Dark Sun for my preferred campaign settings. Artificers were my #1 choice in the way of additional classes for future UA. I like that WotC is providing surveys now instead of just throwing darts - that actually gives me a good amount of hope for the future of...
