    Are We Looking At A New RPG Kickstarter Record?

    No I mean I understand how taxes work, my question is at what point do you get a bill apart from ours, and from who? What do you mean when you say EU friendly? What’s the difference between us shipping to the EU, and being EU friendly?

    Are We Looking At A New RPG Kickstarter Record?

    Wait who is charging you besides us? This is my first kick starter obviously, and we’ve already learned a lot and will do a lot better the next one, but my understanding is that if you pledge, you get a little drop-down that you pick your country, it tells you how much it costs to ship it to...

    Are We Looking At A New RPG Kickstarter Record?

    I should point out, the total on the KS page is the total including shipping. So if you pledge $30 and it's $12 shipping you count as $42. Which means I don't think it's anywhere near being the best or fastest or whatever in the category. I think most folks ask you to pledge now, then come back...

    Are We Looking At A New RPG Kickstarter Record?

    Seems a reasonable observation. But we put out literally dozens of books when I was full time at Last Unicorn, then WotC, then Decipher so to me, that is low-risk. And we've already streamed, we have all the gear, we literally just don't have a space anymore. So...folks may not like the stream...

    Find An Adventure Wth Adventure Lookup

    We're probably going to hit 1,000 adventures today or tomorrow! I wonder how many there are out there?

    Find An Adventure Wth Adventure Lookup

    We've got plans for lots of new features. Simple stuff like paginating the front page so you're not loading every single adventure thumbnail. >.< But also stuff like better tags, making your own lists. We'll have Adventure of the Week, all sorts of good stuff. I just want to make it easier for...

    Watch Chris Perkins' First Episode of DICE, CAMERA, ACTION

    The thing about Critical Role is that they're not playing for an audience. That's really what they're like when the cameras are off. I mean, there's less tabletalk? They're more conscious of the audience? But apart from pacing (and there have been episodes where they spent 90 minutes arguing...

    Watch Chris Perkins' First Episode of DICE, CAMERA, ACTION

    I think Critical Role has done more to sell D&D books that literally anything WotC has done, prior to Curse of Strahd. They are promoting WotC's product, better than WotC ever could, for free. Furthermore, I think WotC knows this! I think they're probably perfectly happy with CriticalRole...

    D&D 5E ForgedAnvil D&D 5E Character Generator

    I've relied on this sheet now for over a year, across more than 12 players, and I've never had any complaint. It's amazing! I post now only because I have a request, and that's just a note that shows what the published source of a spell is. It's ok if it's just in the spell-lookup area, but...

    D&D 5E How might one monk grab and steal another monk's staff in combat?

    Specifically the PC in question is The Master of Locusts. At one point at (I think) 1st level, the players were supposed to fight 4 monks and I thought "This is boring, I should make one of these monks cooler" and I invented the idea of the Masters. Well, not "invented" I took it from the old...

    D&D 5E How might one monk grab and steal another monk's staff in combat?

    Man I gave you XP for it! You're participating in a great and noble tradition where you assume the folks on the other side of the screen are hapless. What's the alternative? Assume people know their business? I think we can agree, this is not what the internet is for. Astonishingly, I got an...

    D&D 5E How might one monk grab and steal another monk's staff in combat?

    Good lord, an answer! Thank you very much! I don't know why I didn't look in the DMG for combat actions, I foolishly presumed they'd be in the combat section of the PHB.

    D&D 5E How might one monk grab and steal another monk's staff in combat?

    So the player in question read the DMG and came up to me and said "I think I shouldn't have this, it's way too much." I said "No man, you earned it fair and square," and he suggested maybe there was a dramatic way we could balance things. I appreciated that, I like it when the players are...

    D&D 5E How might one monk grab and steal another monk's staff in combat?

    I've got a monk PC with a staff of striking, we both agree it's a bit too much for a lower-level character and I'm going to throw a higher-level Monk against him in the next encounter. I want to give this Evil Monk an opportunity to grab and steal the Staff of Striking. I can't find a mechanism...

    Fantasy Grounds

    5 out of 5 rating for Fantasy Grounds I use Fantasy Grounds for Dungeons and Dragons, I've run several games using it, I've used it as a player, it's a lot of fun. The new 5E products make it incredibly easy to use! It's much EASIER to make a new character in Fantasy Grounds than it is in real...

    D&D 5E Question for those who have read Out of the Abyss

    I think what I want to do is run Night Below using the Out of the Abyss Underdark. This seems doable, but a hefty amount of work.

    D&D 5E Question for those who have read Out of the Abyss

    I know you begin the adventure as slaves in the Underdark. Do the heroes ever escape to the surface before the end of the adventure? Do they have any interaction with the surface world over the course of adventure? I'd like to use the module's Underdark content, but I want my heroes to have...

    RAGE OF DEMONS Has A Trailer!

    Is that supposed to be English dialog throughout or meaningless whispers and chanting, 'cause I couldn't understand any of it.
