It's funny, I'm working on something very similar, and calling it the Gauntlet, too, but for exactly the opposite reason -- we have too many players for one table and need good engagement but also high turnover so everyone gets a chance at a seat. Oh, man, D&D4 is made for this style of play...

I don't disagree with you, and I was excited about this development at release, but I think it is important to note that the core books contain a single instance of actual multi-setting crunch, and that's the association of official setting deities with 5th Edition Cleric domains. Everything...

So you don't get it either. Noted. All I'm saying is I'm going to be beyond furious when they rename Dungeons & Dragons "The Neverwinter RPG" at Gen Con 2016. Despite my bile, I actually do have faith that Wizards is going to see their multiverse promises through. I just wish they'd do...

Just for clarity: this is the Temple of Elemental Evil board game, not the Elemental Evil board game, and not a board game titled The Temple of Elemental Evil. Forgive me but I'm irritated by this. I asked for some assurance on Twitter that squeezing everything into the Sword Coast would not...

This is what I mean: Yes. And they all bought a Players Handbook. Actually, they all bought Players Handbooks, too. Which they used to buy Players Handbooks. And buy its Players Handbook. And also D&D5, because they bought the Players Handbook.

But take heart -- their egos could fill the Superdome. :) Clearly not.

I have this problem, too, but I'm also having a different formatting issue with the site in Chrome, and it almost gave me a heart attack today: SIMS. ALWAYS WATCHING. It's not generally this impressive or disruptive, but I felt I should share.

In exchange for a spell? It doesn't seem like a overly good trade to me. 1d6/level, save for half, is not a lot of damage. This was the moment I knew it was working: - NPC targets PC with Lightning Bolt. PC wins contested Arcana check, expends 3rd-level slot. NPC fails Int save and...

Speak for yourself; I'm waiting with bated breath for Four Degrees of Connection starrting Will Smith.

I have to say, I gave this a trial by fire last night and it went over incredibly well. The whole party got into the tense tete-a-tete between the two wizards, and there was a cheer of joy and relief at the table when our candidate won out by the skin of his teeth. I will absolutely be keeping...

Good fortune to Chris and Jennifer! It's a shame but not very surprising. I'm sure their work was exemplary, and I am always sad to hear about a fellow editor being fired (not only for the editor themself but also because it generally means someone thinks writing quality is a safe place to cut...

This is really cool, Cristian. Great job. Am I just not seeing it, or are you missing Ortho, homeworld of the Harmonium?

You want to convert D&D3 DCs to D&D5? Easy, just subtract 50. *rimshot* Seriously, this will work up until a point, but with a maximum skill rank bonus of +23 at 20th level in D&D3 and a maximum proficiency bonus of +6 at 20th level in D&D5 it is going to break down at high levels. Above...

I’m about to run the two wizards in my Dragonlance campaign through their Tests, one of the core requirements of which is defeating a magical opponent more powerful than themselves. I’m kind of dissatisfied with the idea of them just standing in a room and hurling spells at another wizard until...

All the dice are D6s? ...Well, good luck with that.

I feel like we're on the same side of that particular argument. I swear, I'm not against military-minded Knights getting that second attack. Well, that's an interesting question. Is she? That's not really how I see Gunthar Uth Wistan, and we all know how well that worked out for Derek...

Oh, no doubt. But the material /was/ Greyhawk. Anyway, I don't know why that would be a point against the setting. It's why I think it should get some /relevant/ attention now. I have no such feelings about Eberron or Forgotten Realms, the other two D&D3 settings. They both got D&D3 and...

Stacie, it's worth noting that Greyhawk was the core setting of 3rd Edition. Nearly everything released by Wizards for 3rd Edition was set in Greyhawk unless it was specifically labeled Forgotten Realms or Eberron. If your dungeon master used published adventures (and you weren't playing in FR...

A solid outline! I'd like to see this written up. Fast track: Knight of the Crown at 1st, Knight of the Sword at 5th, Knight of the Rose at 9th. Battlemaster Fighter 4/Cleric of War 4/Paladin of Devotion 1. But because of the faction rank requirements, that would be a very upwardly mobile...
