    Sean's Picks of the Week (0515-0519) 5e Wizarding School, FATE Supers & Wuxia, 7th Sea, and O.L.D.!

    I joined a FATE session at DragonCon a few years back. It was fun, but I don't see it as something I'd want to use for a home campaign. Although that didn't stop me from buying Atomic Robo RPG.

    D&D 5E Going for 3d6 instead of d20

    We basically tried the 4d6-4 method (we simply counted 6 as zero). This was before 5th, so advantage wasn't part of the experiment. Also, bonuses greater than +2 were reduced to additional d6's. It started off as fun, but anything mildly difficult on a d20 was nearly impossible. If it came up...

    D&D 5E Moving diagonally between enemies on a grid

    That's interesting. With 1" diameter base, I'd say no.

    D&D 5E Moving diagonally between enemies on a grid

    Do other people have an issue with this? This was initiated by a player. Two PCs were diagonally adjacent, and an enemy moved up and tried to pass between them. The player declared the creature couldn't pass them diagonally. I didn't mind the the idea (and didn't want to look it up), so I let is...

    Werewolf and WoD

    I have never been able to figure out how to run a WoD game. We tried Hunter. Once. Not knowing what werewolves were like, I flipped through the antagonists section, and threw one down on a party of 5 PCs. I think it was a TPK in 3 turns. While I was staring at the book trying to figure out...

    Starfinder Starfinder's Spaceships Are Pretty!

    Raises the question, it does not beg it. "To beg a question means to assume the conclusion of an argument—a type of circular reasoning. This is an informal fallacy, in which an arguer includes the conclusion to be proven within a premise of the argument, often in an indirect way such that its...

    Which official 5E adventures have you played through?

    In general - they are all garbage. First off, these are poorly edited. There are a lot of names on the credits page. Didn't anyone sit down and try to read this thing? The errata tells you exactly how bad it is. How does one keep track of the errata anyway? I don't have them in reach, so here...

    Who's Playing What On Fantasy Grounds? Final Stats For 2016!

    Just say NO to pie charts. Bars may be boring - but they're readable. Can you post the data file? I'm obviously a data junkie.

    Is TOMB OF HORRORS the Worst Adventure Of All Time?

    The best part is playing Joust against the Lich. The trick is to be Player Two.

    I love Scarred Lands, but Onyx isn't getting anymore money from me until Exalted is finished (Estimated delivery: Oct 2013).

    Sword Coast Legends Survey; Plus Ranger Feedback Results!

    Strider - original "Ranger from the North" had no animal companion, didn't dual-wield, or was much of an archer (when Legolas was around). I think the Ranger class should be done away with. Like Ninja, everyone has their own idea what they want the ranger to be. Anyone wanting to play "ranger"...

    Where Has the Magic Gone?

    "the Fox-based writer-producer who is also helping shepherd the X-Men and Fantastic Four universes at the studio" ... because those have turned out so well. How about you call the brain child behind Avengers instead.

    D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide

    4 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide I hate the treasure tables. They are better than none (like 4th), but not as good as 3x.
