    It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like RAVENLOFT

    Ravenloft is my first preference for a new, non-FR setting, so I'm hopeful that this is what we've got coming. I don't find it particularly significant or important if they find a little corner of Toril to place it in that can be physically traveled to from elsewhere in the Realms, or if they...

    D&D 5E Best 5E Adventure?

    I have run Lost Mine. I've also run HotDQ & I'm in the midst of running RoT. I'm part way through reading PotA to prep for my next campaign now, but I like it a lot & I'm confident that I'll enjoy running it. I own Out of the Abyss, but I've barely read it, so I'm not going to offer any...

    D&D 5E Tyranny of Dragons & Elemental Evil Miniatures

    I don't normally game with minis, but I was pondering getting a set of the 5 chromatic dragons from the Tyranny & EE series to display in my game room. I'm seeking the wisdom of those of you who have seen these minis in person, as I've only seen them online. In particular, from the Tyranny...

    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    My "main" twice-a-month game is Realms, running through the published stuff. Phandelver, Tyranny of Dragons, Princes of the Apocalypse so far. Truth be told, however, I'd be very likely to still be running in the Realms, even if I weren't doing the published stuff. My occasional side game is...

    When A Game Store Goes Above And Beyond

    Noble Knight seem very worthy of our respect & appreciation. They also support the Tome Show, which is a podcast I know many of us enjoy. In the future, I'll be going out of my way to look at them first when I need to make a purchase.

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    I'm pretty impressed. This is either my favorite or second-favorite UA article since 5E launched. I think the close-quarters shooter is decently close to balanced. I think the +1 rather than +2 is an appropriate balance for its advantages. However, I might suggest that the...

    A Quick Look At EN World's Demographics

    At age 43, I'm also very encouraged to see how big the age demographics younger than myself are. In light of the many technology based forms of entertainment available today, I'd have thought that my age group & older, original D&D players from the 70s & 80s, would be the biggest group by a...

    Last D&D Survey Results In! Plus What's Up With The Ranger?

    Now THAT would be an interesting way to approach it. I'm fine with the current release schedule because it's not too much of a financial strain to have to purchase a 250 page, $50-ish MSRP book twice year. Also, my group only plays every 2-3 weeks, so we're way behind, published...

    Last D&D Survey Results In! Plus What's Up With The Ranger?

    Ok, man. Take it easy. All I said is that I'm pretty comfortable with the current release schedule. My personal, very subjective opinion on the subject isn't an attack against you.

    Last D&D Survey Results In! Plus What's Up With The Ranger?

    I honestly don't see the current 5E Ranger as that bad. We have one in our party & he does great. Doesn't seem all that out of balance. I do agree that I'd like to see the animal companion be able to do a bit more. I'm one of the ones who is pretty comfortable with the current release...

    Gygax Magazine #6 is shipping this week

    I just recently discovered this magazine. I've been over on their website trying to figure out how to get a subscription, & I can't find the info. Does anyone have any tips?

    Would You Get A D&D Tattoo?

    I have one tattoo, & it's unlikely that I'd ever get another one. However, I love this guy's tattoo. The 5e ampersand is my favorite, & he's got it looking sharp here.

    D&D 5E Thoughts on the D&D Starter Set (Spoilers!)

    I loved LMoP. I thought it was an excellent introductory adventure. My group got a dozen session out of it. All my players but one were first-timers. I'd definitely run it again if I ever had opportunity. I was surprised at how into the town & environment the players got. They decided...

    D&D 5E Artist Mike Schley running a sale on all digital artwork (including adventure maps)

    Hm. I genuinely thought I was being helpful to Mike by drawing attention to a promotion he was running. I love Mike's work & I have or will be purchasing everything he produces for D&D 5E, because I want to support him & I think excellent work should be rewarded. I don't see anything in...

    D&D 5E Artist Mike Schley running a sale on all digital artwork (including adventure maps)

    Mike Schley is (in my mind) the best D&D cartographer in the universe. He's contributed to 5E materials such as Lost Mine of Phandelver, Princes of the Apocalypse, & Out of the Abyss (& countless older, pre-5E resources). If you're the type who likes to purchase digital downloads of maps...

    D&D 5E Woohoo!

    Happy for you, man. Hope you enjoy it.

    OUT OF THE ABYSS Hits Game Stores!

    Just got mine today. Happy to finally have it in hand. Haven't gotten to read much in it yet, but I did flip through it & there's lots of fantastic art.

    Psionics Survey Results: Generally Positive But More Work Needed

    The survey makes pretty clear that they won't be including psionics in the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide release. I'm disappointed because I was kind of hoping they'd be in there, but I'd rather see more developing & playtesting than a rushed release of something.
