I can't work out where you're coming from on this. There's nothing in the picture to suggest that the protagonist is a vagrant adventurer. EDIT: Or that he's committing murder for hire.

I just had a wow moment looking at that phb p1 art. Dangit all, I'm actually itching to give wotc money again!

Same here. It's like the 90's with a good art budget if chainmail bikinis had been out of fashion.

Not on Amazon japan apparently, since it still isn't being sold there.

Beer fetcher.

A lot of the things I want to see come down to monster design. For example, monsters that are not allowed perception checks to notice sneaking characters unless the GM decides they're on watch, thus leaving sneaking characters with a vital role in taking out these the watchmen so the party can...

I might be wrong, but I think this means they're finally rolling back Skip Williams' influence on D&D. Personally I couldn't be happier about that. Maybe add a sig note to that effect?

I've noticed that too. Several teachers are in to Magic here, which was initially a fair surprise.

There are a good few TTRPGs written by Japanese gamers, for the Japanese market. Whatever holds the market back here, I don't believe it's lack of local culture themed RPGs. TBH, and in response to the original post, if I were in charge of marketing TTRPGs to the Japanese market, I would...

For perspective, I teach at a very conservative private high school in the decaying countryside north of Tokyo. This is my sixth year out here. --Non-traditional board games aren't all that popular over here. So things like Go and Mahjong are considered worth one's time; other board games are...

It looks like they've got their character sheets & reference materials on their iPads. I've been able to do that for several years now, and I will continue to be able to do that whether or not they sell an app for that purpose. I want to know more about the KB format. Can I search it with...

I can imagine some pretty sweet roll20 scripts that would make running hackmaster a lot easier. Assuming I had those set up, and some players that were up for it, I would be willing to give the game a shot. But as far as pure tabletop play goes, I don't think hackmaster is the right game for me.

Nowadays I see messageboard posting as its own hobby, separate from the hobbies which are the objects of messageboard discussion.

Empirically, there's a big difference between a designer who's good turning a funny feeling in his nether parts into a prototype that's ready to market, and a designer who's good at iterating on an existing product. I think Gary's status as being good at the first type of design is at least as...

Nicer than the Paizo BB too, actually.

Ah, the old oil on the floor trick. How I've missed you.

I'm really happy to see Rich Baker still writing D&D adventures. He's not a man I would choose to see put into a premature retirement. Although I don't think Phandelver is going to win big in the "Most Awesome Fantasy Name" column.

Inspired by the feedback from steenan and DMMike , I've rewritten most of the questions--hopefully in a way that will be more appealing to players. I've also attempted to clarify what these skills grant during ordinary gameplay without spending an HD. Naturally, I'd love to hear any and all...

I would need to think about the alternatives. I'd rather play that session than get stuck in a game of Monopoly, sure. But unless there's an actual purpose (like say introducing new players to the game), I think I might be too jaded to get excited about a 2 hour one shot where nothing gets...
