    What Happens If CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR Doesn't Fund?

    Well, we as gamers have lived up to the higher and towards the lower ends of stereotypes in these comments: we overthink everything, we have opinions about everything (some of them even based in facts!), and we get fired up about anything that lies within terrain we claim as ours. I'm okay with...

    D&D 5E What Campaign Setting(s) Do You Want To See in 5E?

    Eberron, Greyhawk, in that order.

    D&D 5E Common Magic Item Prices?

    Okay, probably a dumb question, but how much would scrolls and potions - from common spells - cost? I see the item creation cost for them, but I don't see anywhere a price list. Yeah, probably overlooking it but....

    [UPDATED] CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR: Watch the UI Overview

    Well said - if they've got a great product, it's incumbent on them to show it. That's what the market demands, and that's what companies must deliver if they hope to convince consumers that their product is worth more to folks than the money in the folks' pockets. I prefer that things work out...

    [UPDATED] CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR: Watch the UI Overview

    I wish them all the luck in the world. However, doesn't it seem a little odd that a web technology company would produce a silent movie of their supposedly awesome product-to-be? Look, if they want that much money then their potential customers need to have a lot of confidence in their skills...

    Gygax Memorial Statue Concept Proposal

    I think that'd be a great monument! And he'd be running Tomb of Horros, of course. Seriously, Thunderfoot, that's really a brilliant idea. Hey people reading this: perhaps we ought to push this as a grassroots idea? Consider how cool that'd be: a few iconic books and whatnot on the table, Gary...

    Gygax Memorial Statue Concept Proposal

    Hate to say it, but that's one ugly design. It reminds me of something that a kid would draw as his "most awesomest ever" cover of his own RPG...we all did that at some point, did we not? It reminds me of someting like this.

    Pathfinder Strategy Guide Delayed Until February

    I bet this will be a really attractive, well-organized, interesting book, and very useful to PF players we are extra fiddly with their characters. But does it seem a little odd that Pathfinder needs another rulebook....to better explain and help players manage the rules? That just sounds...

    Reign of Winter Adventure Path

    4 out of 5 rating for Reign of Winter Adventure Path Disclaimer: I've only run Book 1 of this AP and don't know if I'll run any of the rest of it. I like the idea of a winter-based campaign - different feel, look, and foundational challenges - and Baba Yaga is an interesting character, as well...

    New News Page Layout

    I like it, since it'll enable you to add blocks of news at the top throughout a day without creating an entirely new section. I was okay with the previous layout; however, I like this one better. And I actually don't think it looks a great deal like other sites.

    Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path

    1 out of 5 rating for Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path I played into Book 3 as a player - my first paladin, actually - and it was like being on a railroad with no windows. It's Paizo's typical execution: a great story idea detailed & sequenced by a rigid plot itself made up of encounters...

    Skull & Shackles Adventure Path

    2 out of 5 rating for Skull & Shackles Adventure Path I'll keep this short. Book 1 promised a seagoing sandbox - a great idea! In fact, it's a brilliant idea, and perfectly suited for a sandbox: PCs have their own ship, and a broad range of places to go and things to experience and do. And yet...

    Kingmaker Adventure Path

    5 out of 5 rating for Kingmaker Adventure Path When PF first came out I bought the first book in this AP and our group ran it up through book 5, lasting for over a year of weekly gaming sessions spread out over two years due to breaks. We loved books 1 and 2, given that they really established...

    Carrion Crown Adventure Path

    2 out of 5 rating for Carrion Crown Adventure Path I played through all of books 1 and 2, and we made it about halfway through the 3rd volume before our group gave up on it. The Haunting of Harrowstone had enough flexbility in the plot, interesting NPCs and locales, and still pressure to move...

    D&D 5E Dungeonscape Lives!

    Seaweed - my guess is that's their way of saying the project was sent offshore to a cheaper (and maybe better) design firm overseas. That's my guess.

    The D&D Next Playtest Begins...

    How typical! How typical of WOTC to screw the pooch with crappy downloads! Wait..how many promises did they make about DDI & Gametable? Wait, are we sensing a trend of "WOTC is using steam-powered technology"? I think I'll go play read the Inner Sea World Guide that I dloaded from...
