I see my job as a DM mainly as a moderator of a game we play to have fun. If everything runs well, great. If luck or unusual stupidity sets in, I 'moderate' to keep the game fun or to ease players again. Nobody wins, if everybody leaves the table in an angry mood, but you did do everything as...

You don't even need to call out to other people. If you want to push a certain campaign, vote without logging in, clear the cookie, refresh, revote and vote and vote and vote... Such polls should be tied to logged in users.

Eberron isn't much behind Greyhawk but after them is a gap. I would say: Homebrew > Realms > Greyhawk > Eberron > other settings. But as many people name more than one or even more than three, it is hard to say, how useful the poll is anyway.

Interesting point. I play D&D since 1984, but don't even know those monsters. My IP creatures live in Eberron books which I don't expect to see anytime soon in 5E monster books anyway. ;)

We will get an excellent Monster Book from Kobold Press anyway and Wizards knows about it. So perhaps they will go for a different type of book now.

Same here. Two copies of the players handbook, both broken and the shop is not eager to help. :erm: With digital copies even translated pdf would sell well. Come on Wizards, go for it SOON(TM). Don't wait 8 years for it. :yawn:

1. Confront them with some strange people who foretold some draconic prophecy from the past, which couldn't be stopped in time - the results are ruins. Show some parts or the actual prophecy to them by a mumbling hermit, or a not so bright researcher, or a lizard/dragonborn who will tell...

I don't think I like the concept of reaction spells which need material components. Where do they come from the moment you react to something? Is a reaction spell a good choice to get up to five creatures under the effect of the spell in a foreign environment? Do you believe you can see up to 60...

I might create some NPC wizards with a couple of evocation spells doing different types of damage. I will name them, let my player find the info and an old school, where all of those npcs studied once. There he will be able to relearn his spell. Thanks so far.

I don't think, I will ever need it, but it all sounds interesting. Perhaps it is about time for an new D&D setting mixing some sci-fi with hacking and magic...

I wouldn't want to see autohit cantrips in melee situations. It is nice to see the magicuser struggle what to do about meleesituations. Our sorcerer changed a cantrip after a levelup just because of this. A autohit cantrip would be the single most cast cantrip ever, I think. Which might be the...

Hey, no I don't intend to change it. This spell is D&D since its first appearance. I wonder why there is no other spell like Magic Missile. One of my players would like to find/invent one, which does lightning damage instead of force damage. In theory this should be possible, but I wonder what...

1 minute... good point. I did not notice that. Magic Weapon is (imho) only lvl 2 for bonus balancing issues, so the 1 minute Armements should stay 1st level. Convinced ;)

I won't see the book often, but now I will always remember: it is not centered. :erm: Yes, why did they do this? Does look like a mistake...

Nice spell but I would rate it a second level spell. I am just editing you ideas for my campaign, creating tomes for my players to find. If Magic Weapon is a second level spell, Armements of the Forest has to be second level as well, as it does quite the same under different circumstances, even...

I very much appreciate your work. You give me tons of spells to read through and check. I offer new spells to my campaigns by letting the players find some very old tomes in some dungeons or treasure hoards. Its always a good reward. So thanks for the creative or compiling work :)

Though I could see the shaman as a druid subclass, I like the idea. Go for it, really. Show us, what you can do with the 5E class mechanics. :lol: But the artificer (reasearch/crafter and battle focused) and the alchemist(third option) fit well into one class anyway. Go for it. They named...

I can't find it too. Hopefully this is because of a update which went wrong?

I don't believe there is a balance issue with skills and tool sets as long as every character is able to choose any skill/tool set via background options. The rogue shines not by being able to choose a tool set, it's the expertise option where the rogue (and the bard) is able to be better than...

Well that is your take on the artificer. For me an artificer has to have the choice of thieve tools. Keith wrote in his blog: For me the arctificer is exactly that. An engineer working with metal and magic. A tinkerer, combining mechanics and magic. She is interested in every part of working...
