    D&D 5E Unexpected but (mostly) awesome new rules in Basic

    I know this isn't a rule, but it's the closest topic match. I didn't expect to get multiple settings in the fluff of the book. THAT is something I consider to be truly awesome as it means the rules won't be too heavily slanted towards FR, which in turn means that I won't have to use house rules...

    D&D 5E The Basic D&D pdf

    But it will be midnight. Somewhere.

    D&D 5E Opening Page of the PHB

    Goblins that aren't green = win. I'm so looking forward to playing an edition that feels (to me) like DnD again.

    D&D 5E Vote for your favourite 5E cover art!

    Thanks, but that's not the one I was talking about. On http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?1631-Dungeons-Dragons-Starter-Set-Fantasy-Roleplaying-Fundamentals-%28D-D-Boxed-Game%29-Hits-Amazon! There is a nice image of combat with goblins I'd really like to see this full size as it appears...

    D&D 5E Vote for your favourite 5E cover art!

    I love that beholder. I just find the foreground character's pose a little confusing. Easily my favourite image of the set. Beholders suffered from looking goofy for a long time. This one is downright scarey, as it should be! I also like the mock up cover of the basic pdf. Is there a big...

    D&D 5E Signs & Portents (that we can read into) about the ETA of 5E

    I like the idea of that but I don't think it fits the reality of publishing. Feedback from the beginner's set would have very little time to get incorporated.

    8 minutes/turn - is that very slow? slow? average?

    I know this feeling all too well, but I keep forgetting to actually time our games. I'm a player not the DM, so I don't have a lot of influence, but man do I get bored between turns. It probably isn't helping my cause that I'm one of the fastest so I'm getting the least 'active play time' out of...

    Words, Phrases, and Misspellings We Hate

    Dear god. This one makes me seethe with anger every time I see it. Dropping ly from the end of words is another one that annoys me.

    "Warlord" build for D&Dnext

    Just a side note; I'd like to see some of the warlord's inspiring mechanics take effect when they are genuinely being inspiring. e.g. The Warlord gets a critical hit, and allies seeing this regain hit points (or temp HP) or some other boon. The Warlord leaps to protect a fallen comrade, or to...

    D&D 5E New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring

    Re: New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring I should think that it would be covered in the FR supplement. Sent via Tapatalk 2

    D&D 5E New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring

    Re: New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring Downtime works for me. I was already looking at ways to force characters to have a break between adventures and downtime was exactly the word I chose. I was working on the rough assumption that adventuring was energetic and so characters would...

    Just for Fun repeat: The "Stupidest Rule" contest

    To be fair to 1E speed was calculated on the assumption that you we're being cautious because you were in a deadly battle or a dangerous dungeon. Sent via Tapatalk 2

    D&D 5E New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring

    I'm hoping so. If they don't make it, I will. I was already trying to determine how best to divorce skills and ranks from classes and levels.

    D&D 5E New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring

    Re: New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring I have been wishing for something exactly like this. Depending upon your desired story type you can either ignore this whole thing, have it as a sort of side comment between adventures, have it as your training Mechanic or treat it as the entire...

    D&D 5E Attack Cantrips

    I'm inclined to agree, but I can also see where this is coming from. The desire to play a caster who only uses spells is a very strong one in the community, and thus they're catering for it. I can't really blame them for that. It should therefore be balanced against the class's other abilities...

    D&D 5E I need to get over the hump and submit

    Forgive the internet meme, but, "you're doing it wrong". Don't think of 5E as the edition which didn't meet your expectations. Think of 5E as the edition which made building your own personal edition easier to achieve. That's how I'm looking at it. I'm already building my own edition, based on...

    D&D 5E Thoughts on 6-7-13 Playtest Packet

    Actually, that's pretty much how it is in my games. Necromancy is illegal/evil by default. Maybe it depends on what dance you choose. Making someone do the macareena for 10 days is definitely evil. Making someone do, say, Lindy Hop, is less evil because: a) they'd enjoy it b) it's so energetic...

    D&D 5E Wandering Monsters: Living Traps

    I think alphabetical is our only real option here. Having tables at the front or back to organize by power and by locale is a great idea, but ultimately, limiting. Only an e-tool which is updated every time monsters are added can really provide the level of completeness those tables require. It...
