    Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path

    4 out of 5 rating for Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path I loved the epic quest to save the world from hordes of oncoming demons, as well as some of the colorful NPCs in the story. However, because you really need the Mythic Adventures book, and all the extra rules involved with it, I can't...

    D&D 5E So, 5e OGL

    agreed on that - there was a lot of crap with 3E, but you could easily exclude it by saying you only played with official WotC material or similar. Or, you could trim it further and say core rules only. Or, what I did was play with just official WotC material, and then take additional stuff on...

    he was an amazing talent, and he made millions smile and laugh. May he rest in peace.

    2014---IN REMEMBRANCE

    wow, much too soon for such a talent. Apparently a suicide. May he rest in peace. :(

    D&D 5E Rolling for Stats

    I'd go with option 1 to help out the 30 point player. Reduces the differences, but the other players can keep their good rolls. You can sell it to the good rolling players saying that the other player won't be as much of an albatross anymore. Is the PHB going to be that different in terms of...

    D&D 5E Rolling for Stats

    Just let it ride. IMHO, PCs should be a cut above the norm, so I don't see a big problem rewarding players for rolling well. Just remember, you might need to tweak the encounters at times to make them challenging. FWIW, the time I rolled better than ever during character creation (I think 14...

    D&D 5E 5th Edition: How to Make My DM Cry

    good story about 5E - XP awarded. I found it really took a huge amount of work for me as a 3.5E DM several years back to keep my large group challenged & involved at the table when some players were semi optimized, and others just took what spells/feats they thought were cool as they leveled up...

    D&D 5E 5th Edition: How to Make My DM Cry

    I didn't realize feats were optional in 3E? I figured everybody took them when they were available. And, what's to stop a DM from creating bad guys who use the same feats? and, if you're a DM whose every encounter can get stopped by one solitary grappler, you needed to re-design your...

    D&D 5E 5th Edition: How to Make My DM Cry

    never saw the show before this episode, but loved it. Chevy Chase plays a mean & crotchety old guy who interrupts a nerdy guy's D&D game, pushing his way into the game and nearly ruining it for everybody. After he has seemingly won the game (ruined it for everybody else, meaning), Chase uses...

    D&D 5E 5th Edition: How to Make My DM Cry

    Why is it breaking the story if werebat's character is more effective than somebody else's character? Are Merry & Pippin as effective as Gandalf and Aragorn? I DM'd a father and son in a 2 year long campaign. It was almost humorous to see that the son would consistently roll 15 or higher to...

    D&D 5E 5th Edition: How to Make My DM Cry

    In looking back at 1e and 2e days - and I've been playing since the late 70s - the phrase "the DM figures out how to roll it" was often accompanied by a lot of back & forth between the players and the DM, and discussions about similar incidents in adventures or campaigns past that may be a...

    New Captain America will be black

    Showing my age here, but I got this when it came out many years ago... What If Jane Foster found the Hammer of Thor? From 1978, She dubbed herself Thordis.

    Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman

    The average fan is going to ask why did Lynda Carter have the bullet-proof bracelets then?

    Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman

    yeah - just "no" to that 1968 costume. Interesting history of the costume.

    Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman

    well, I'm guessing they think it worked for Xena, why not for Wonder Woman? Or, that she's more covered up than Lynda Carter was in the late 70s? Still, why do Superman & Batman need to be completely covered below the neck, but not Wonder Woman? Other than an excuse to show skin? I mean...

    Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman

    She definitely looks better than I thought she would in costume. The costume itself looks a bit like an updated Xena, the Warrior Princess.

    D&D 5E TIAMAT! It's that gargantuan mini we've all been waiting to see!

    That would be my fear as well. I've had several Pathfinder miniatures that broke off at the base despite me very carefully removing them from the packaging. And, it's not me being clumsy, as I probably have a few thousand miniatures - many of them Warhammer or Confrontation plastics - and...
