    D&D 5E Blog Post by Robert J. Schwalb

    Great point on free speech - it's so the government doesn't stop you from speaking. (Though, there are multiple exceptions to free speech in every country that has a free speech law on the books.) But, if his blog is on his own personal website paid for with his own money, he also has a right...

    GAME OF THRONES #10:The Children ACT 49 Chapter 4-2014 *Season Ending*

    Yes, I believe Varys thinks Tyrion's escape will be blamed on him. I'm guessing Conleth Hill (Varys) will take the place of Magister Illyrio, who was important for Tyrion's next step in his journey.

    World Cup 2014

    US just needs a win against Portugal to make it to the Round of 16. Exciting second half with Ghana & Germany, but a 2-2 tie in the end. Hopefully, Portugal is mentally reeling after being destroyed by Germany last week. Would be weird to see the US on top of the so-called Group of Death.

    yes, Spain did look like chumps. Hopefully, Portugal will follow their example and lose to the US on Sunday.

    Would have been a great season ending surprise. However, I was much more upset about them not giving us

    GAME OF THRONES #9:The Watchers on the Wall ACT 48 Chapter 4-2014

    I thought it was an excellent episode. Glad to see Jon Snow finally emerge as a real leader. Next week should be huge, with events at the Wall and in King's Landing. Not to mention Arya & The Hound

    Song of Ice and Fire may end up being 2,000,000 books

    There is but one God, and His name is Death...and what do we say to the God of Death?

    Song of Ice and Fire may end up being 2,000,000 books

    Agreed that his editor needs to be tougher on him. The Dorne & Iron Islands storylines could have been compacted, as could Sam's journey and Dany in Meereen. Jon's story at least had some memorable highlights to it in Dance, but was still overly long.

    Song of Ice and Fire may end up being 2,000,000 books

    He doesn't seem like a bad guy? Sure, he doesn't write as quickly as he should, but I've never heard anything about him being arrested or beating his wife or abusing children or animals? Sure, the characters in his books are often miserable people...

    GAME OF THRONES #8:The Mountain and the Viper ACT 47 Chapter 4-2014

    Pretty simple - he was extremely focused during the actual combat, as he'd been waiting over a decade and a half for his chance. However, once The Mountain was on his back & dying (in the books, the spear went all the way through Clegane and pinned him to the ground...), Oberyn lost his...

    GAME OF THRONES #8:The Mountain and the Viper ACT 47 Chapter 4-2014

    Not to mention that he'd been pierced by a crossbow bolt... might have been a bit hard to act.

    Best campaign for 1-6? Looking for a prelude to Red Hand of Doom

    Not sure how old school it is, but it was first published back in 2E days. The original version is called "Tragedy in the House of Brodeln" and the 3E version is called "Aldriv's Revenge" It has a murder mystery, some dungeon crawls, some interesting monsters, some excellent NPCs and a good...

    D&D 5E So, 5e OGL

    That's what I liked about the OGL - you had a lot of 3PP material out there that you could pick & choose to use. And, it was easy for a DM to say he or she wanted to limit things just to WotC books, plus these other 2/3/4 books.

    GAME OF THRONES #7: Mockingbird ACT 46 Chapter 4-2014

    another good episode. Tyrion gets his champion and we have something interesting with Sansa happening.

    GAME OF THRONES #6:The Laws of God and Men ACT 45 Chapter 4-2014

    It depends on how quickly Martin can get book 6 out. If he can get it out by maybe the end of this year, or by the end of season 5, then D&D can judge whether or not they'll need an extra season or maybe an extended season 7 (a la The Sopranos and Breaking Bad)

    Rumor? D&D movie issues resolved and a TV series in the works?

    Not always true, though. When people complain on the various Game of Thrones websites about the lack of direwolves and dragons on the show, the answer from the producers is that the CGI to have them on screen more often is too expensive. And, there were lengthy articles about how the...

    GAME OF THRONES #6:The Laws of God and Men ACT 45 Chapter 4-2014

    In terms of your spoilers, I think they will all happen this year, though will likely just be starting. The problem is, that a lot of books 4 and 5 are new characters (The Ironborn and The Martells) that some may, or may not, find interesting. Plus, I think the editors kind of let Martin run...

    GAME OF THRONES #6:The Laws of God and Men ACT 45 Chapter 4-2014

    I'm thinking Tyrion thinks that Cersei will pick her lover Jamie to be her champion. Jamie was the greatest knight in Westeros until he lost his hand... she might not realize he's kind of a shell of what he used to be.
