    D&D 5E The Blight Available for 5E in Hardback and PDF for the next 34 hours

    Woo-hoo! All applicable add-on are also in 5e print including the "Tome of Blighted Horrors". The 5e bestiary will include all monsters in the Pf and S&W version as well as monsters in the Tome of Horrors Complete like N'Gathau. So, 5e fans, come and get it!

    What's an OGL? An SRD? What's OGC? A Quick Primer!

    +1, this is absolutely correct. You just can't copy the wood elf directly out of the 5e PH to put in your product like you can with SRD text for the high elf. Edit: You will also need to include the SRD3 in the Section 15. Copyright Notice section.

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    Yep, there is nothing here that I disagree with. It is just so extremely unlikely that Hasbro/WoTC would have ever put out an 5e OGL if the plan wasn't to keep "core" forever. Especially, considering how they got burned the last time they abandoned their ruleset. Yeah, archetypes are going to...

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    I think the omissions are the point that it is for adventures, NPC templates, monsters, etc not for someone to try and create 5e clone. However, I am of the opinion that this is last of the "reboot" editions like what happen between 2e and 3e or 4e and 5e. The definition of what an edition is...

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    That is correct. In an adventure, the spell description is rarely included. Since SRD allows modification of existing text, I could define some mage template somewhere in between mage and archmage and include "fire bolt" in the cantrip list.

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    As far a "Fire Bolt" being missing, this may also be an oversight. This spell can still used in a cantrip list because it is also present in both mage and archmage NPC templates that are included in the SRD.

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    I think this SRD approach shows us the WoTC wants to discourage the use of "class levels" for monsters which is the example given in the adventures. By limiting to a single archetype, there may be that rare NPC that has class levels. The given examples also form a template for publishers to...

    200 Pages of NPCs For 5E, Pathfinder, or S&W

    This is a excellent preview with great flavor. However, I have a few nitpicks that should be considered: 1) Use "passive Perception 13" instead of "Passive Perception +13" 2) With a Great Weapon fighting style, the versatile weapon longsword should note a two-handed damage of 1d10. She is...

    D&D 5E FGG Kickstarter The Blight Richard Pett's Crooked City

    The 5e pdf of The Blight lives upon KS funding. From Greg Vaughan on the Pathfinder thread: We've been listening to the cries of the masses--crushed and beaten beneath the tyranny of The Blight's so-called "beloved" monarch--and we have heard you. Just announced: We are adding a 5e version of...

    Remember RAPPAN ATHUK? Own The Campaign Setting!

    Last day! We have hit 15 stretch goals, and the $95 Complete GM package is hugely discounted from retail, so you need to get it while it's cheap and while it comes with lots of free stuff. Don't miss out on what's going to be a popular and classic adventuring area for 3 editions simultaneously.

    Remember RAPPAN ATHUK? Own The Campaign Setting!

    Let me second this as an excellent option for running Rappan Athuk with 5e. As a sandbox, it is much easier to make this work than you may think.

    Comparing WotC's D&D Conversion Guides With Fan Created Alternatives

    Also, I am confused by "To Hit" column (as well the point of the Dex mod one since it doesn't seem applicable) under WoTC method. Using the WoTC method regardless of ability scores since they are none in 1e, the attack modifier is 2 + HD/2 (assuming always rounding down) up to +12. That's it...

    Comparing WotC's D&D Conversion Guides With Fan Created Alternatives

    I thought the idea behind WoTC's 1e to 5e conversion tool was NOT to make an individual monster equal to their 5e counterpart. The 1e adventures had greater numbers of monsters in an encounter than is expected for 5e. The WOTC method assumes the module can be run nearly as written. If you use...

    I second this question. Edit: Sure enough, the Unity engine is compatible with Mac OS X.

    Here's That Official Conversion Document You've Been Waiting For!

    There is no adjustment for classes and races that are actually in the 5e Player's Handbook. These are guidelines for character and race concepts that color outside those lines. So, no there isn't anything for exceptional strength or specialty wizards, you just use the appropriate class from 5e...
