Surface Pro is also a PC so I can just use a mouse.

Here's a video I did for 4E combat. It should be less blurry. http://youtu.be/6QAJzGKMEZA

Man another thing I love about FG is the Party Sheet. I can set a stealth DC or whatever and with one button have the entire party roll a perception check and see who made it without anyone even knowing I did it! So awesome. Also, the language addon is so cool. I can format text in Draconic and...

I was really, really happy when WotC canceled Morningstar because I'd been beta testing it and I found it typical of tabletop companies efforts into the iOS App ecology. Like Privateer Press' War Room, Morningstar didn't obey any of the normal iOS standards. They created their own UI with their...

I've been running FG for years now. Depending on how you run D&D, it can be incredibly useful. But a lot of that usefulness is just the sum of many many little conveniences. At the table, I have to call out which player is next. Which I sometimes forget to do because I'm taking notes or...

Sure, but it would be easier and faster to do it by hand. For 4E, there was a tool that imported your characters from the DDI xml, that was aces! Alas, no DDI for 5E.

Great news! Fantasy Grounds is pretty cool, though not without its own weirdness. Having all the D&D5 data parsed for me, with tokens and everything is a huge win.

Ran Castle Whiterock over the weekend. The heroes snuck into the courtyard at night and surprised the slavers, dividing and conquering them before killing Ikenvar. Some bandits survived, one of the PC's died, and the two groups agreed to a truce. The heroes withdrawing with their unconscious...

Lots of companies have a license to make both Trek and Star Wars merch. The issue between WotC and Decipher when it came to the Trek license was just that Decipher knew people higher up at Paramount than WotC or LUG did. So when the license came up for renewal, Decipher convinced Paramount...

Ok, so let's presume a good-aligned church as our stronghold. Apart from the meat-and-potatoes followers that populate the lower end of the chart, what might be up at the sharp end? Unicorns are LG, might a unicorn show up and help the Cleric defend the place? Yeah I think so, though not with...

TL;DR: I'm interested in building a D&D campaign that's more focused around the principle of Lordship presented in AD&D and OD&D. I'm looking for help specifically with charts for followers. Starting with, why not, the Cleric. You got any ideas, post them here! I'll curate the results and create...

John GM'ed my first game of CHILL. I had a blast, I told him so, and I looked forward to playing again next week. "Well, I don't know how long this will last," he said with some chagrin. "Oh, how come?" He shrugged. "Because eventually you'll learn the rules." That was over 10 years ago...

I think the plan for 5E is to make PDFs of the core books, along with everything else, available inside the morning star app

So far, we haven't seen PDFs of any of the core rulebooks under DriveThru RPG. With the exception of the Basic rules. It seems their strategy is "All Editions, Premium Reprints, No PDFs." Which is fine as long as those premium rulebooks are selling. Are people still buying the deluxe 2nd Ed...

The dungeon seems cool, but the setup is bunk. "There's this dwarf NPC you guys all know and he's got this cool map and you have to go find him!" I sort of feel like, my players should be the cool ones, and starting off your entire experience with 5E by talking about someone else does not feel...

Are you seriously suggesting I spend $65 on an adventure?

My party is about to enter the Feywild and I'm looking for encounters/adventures that have classic fey creatures in them. Dryads or Centaurs, etc... Not, like, gnomes and werewolves. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to search the Dungeon archive for this stuff.

I was looking at a thread from 2009 on Scales of War and the opinion seemed to be the adventures were disconnected and often missing key plot elements. Has anyone taken a stab at cleaning this up?

GF9's plastics are really good, by the way. Very high detail.

That is a nice piece of art. Who did it?
