    Are Table Top RPGs Dying?

    I don't think they are dying at all. I think players just now have access to different outlets and are probably getting in more gaming because of it. I know a lot of people, myself included who game face to face and then get in a web based game via Google +, Skype, on and on and on. I think...

    D&D 5E My Barbarian Ninja

    I like seeing that the versatility to combine options so far is working well in this edition. This is not the typical build and has some advantages but also leaves a few things on the table because of the mechanics, Rage and Deflect for example. If you are okay with it than I say game on...

    D&D 5E Dragon's Eye View: Halflings, Part 2

    D&D 5E Q&A February 14th: Lines, Finding Spells & Fighter Identity

    You definitely have a point there about read magic for free since it is an integral part of what they do. I guess that if you receive magic weapons that you aren't proficient with it is a bit of the same thing although a feat or multiclass to gain proficiency is a bit more of a commitment than...

    Mike Mearls: A Paladin, Ranger, and Wizard With Arcane Tradition Walk Into A Tavern

    By Crom! That slays me. Fear not because this is exactly the sort of thing I suspect we will see handled with modules. If paladins don't have spells then perhaps there are a few things for the player to choose from such as a lower Stunt Die, Lay on Hands, Paladin's Mount, Cure Disease...
