... Dude. Manners.

Some of us old codgers abhor the thought of downloading and printing their own anything - character sheets included. I'm not ready to surrender my dead tree products to phantom photons. Heck, I've been on this tablet for less than 5 minutes, and my eyes are giving me fits. You younin's be...

Say what!? When did 5e release? What century are we living in? Is there a high-level management position vacant at WotC/Hasbro I could just walk into? I apologize to the non-English speaking world on behalf of this bewildered English speaker.

Print the Legend I'd like to point out an RPG on Kickstarter that is fully-funded, but about to end: Print the Legend RPG. It's a game set in America's Southwest in the mid- to late- 1800s (but from what I can tell can be manipulated very easily). Of particular interest to folks here is that...

You may be on to something there...

It's no odder than the example NPC apprentice wizard in the new Volo's guide: a mere boy who could incinerate every poor sod in a village at will with his fire bolt cantrip. Never in D&D could that possibly happen until 5e. I've read the argument that "5e cantrip = light crossbow". Fine. I...

I've recently given up on 5e exactly because I prefer lower magic. The unlimited, damage-causing cantrips are the reason. They have made the spellcasters so bland, IMO. I love 5e otherwise.

So the article describes "Astonishing...Hyperborea" has derived from D&D '74, yet I just read an article describing it as more AD&D 1e-ish. Whic is it? I'd love some "every weapon does d6 damage" goodness!

The most memorable combat encounters over the years for me have been with Theater of the Mind. Those with miniatures, while visually appealing at the time, are somewhat forgettable. The focus tends to me on the minis, and not the narrative. Don't mind minis at all for marching order.

Has anyone compared Chick to Hitler or Pol Pot yet? I'm sure I've just missed it. I mean, ol' Jack did round up all the folks he was "anti" about, and put them in camps, right? Southern Poverty Law Center? Really? Give me a break. The man felt a sincere burden to express his beliefs, and...

I don't "get" the cover art for S&W 3rd. Could someone explain what I'm looking at? The interior art and layout on Kickstarter is phenomenal.

I actually shuddered, too. Maybe it is because I pin blame on those devices for a lot of society's ills today. I'm proud to be a Luddite.

How can one truly understand what is supposed to be a game one can do with pen and paper if a computer is necessary to figure part of it out?

Same here. After a certain company bragged that they had been on the forefront of including "social agendas du jour" in their products before it was cool, I sold every last item I owned of theirs. I wasn't upset the material was in the books (I'm not that oblivious), I was utterly disgusted that...

"...there are serious issues within our community..." i don't consider myself a part of some collective, gaming community any more than I would consider myself a member of a Budweiser community if I drank beer. I come to Enworld for game news, but lately I get lectures instead. I'm an...

Well, I don't know if marketing is the right word, but... I've always liked the "succinct neatness" of the 3.0 materials, especially the 96 page softbacks like "Tome and Blood", "Song and Silence", and "Hero Builder's Guide" (or whatever the title is). They expanded the game, giving players...

Gold stars, all of you!! These are the best explanations I've read yet. Thanks so much for your time. BTW I'm a big fan of this concept!

I've read the comments of designers, reviewers, and fellow players, and I think I understand bounded accuracy...but I'm not sure. I don't think the meaning is actually in the name; the concept could be called "square cabbage" for that matter. Would anyone care to help this poor sod with a...

Are you serious!? Waaa, Waaa! :.-( Reread that and tell me that complaint doesn't sound pretty silly! You just described what every gamer has done for the last 40 years! It hasn't been a grindstone 'round the neck. Cry me a river... After you've walked 10 miles one way to school in the snow...
