    Yes, I agree on that. I don't want to believe they really ending the novel line for good. I hope they won't! But everything points to that, the authors' more or less said that and they ending well-running series with a lot of fans. Evans had to fight to be able to end the Brimstone Angels! All...

    Same here. I might have some problems with 5e's system and design choices (like how abilities are more important than proficiency, or the scarcity of skills and how everyone could use everything), but overall, it's a good one. Not necessarily a better one than PF, but definitely a...

    Who's Playing What on Fantasy Grounds?

    I was thinking about the same. Obviously, the whole mess around past WW/CCP didn't help it and a lot of people don't even heard about Onyx Path/By Night Studios outside the WoD community. They still think WW/WoD is dead. They don't know that both WoDs are running and healthy with a lot of new...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    So, if a shop doesn't explicitely say "We welcome guys in boots and metalband hoodies!" I shouldn't go there, or I should feel unwanted? Ok, that was deliberately sarcastic. I think it could act as an impediment, but it's more in the head of person who feel it and in most cases not on the part...

    I think it left out deliberately, therefore it is political. It's a statement. A statement I agree with the intention of (to some extent), but not with the implementation. [/COLOR][/LEFT] Yes, yes, you could do your own, so you doesn't have the right to criticize. I expressed my opinion on the...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    Not including just that, but every other descriptor in the character sheet. Yes, the official multi-page ones features columns of weight, height, age, skin, hair and eye color and a big box you could draw or wrote your appearance. So, a column about skin color is okay, but one about gender...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    Honestly, I think it is a bit far-fetched. So every external recognizance of the character matters (skin, eye, height, weight, age), and gets a distinct place in the character sheet but gender isn't? Sorry that seems overtly political to me. You could be any gender, or non-gender, or...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    Indeed it is. But lately the topic tends to coming up at some point in every discussion and situation*. Watch the recent WW Grand Masquerade 2016 Q&A video. *Ok, maybe not in the ranger-topics. Or yes, I don't know after a while I lost interest in those.

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    Also, let's take a look at other editions: 3e PHB: the iconic monk is a black woman, the paladin is also a woman (I'm not sure which ethnicity she could be but she's not caucasian white), the sorcerer is an Asian-esque man (and in very fetish-like gear), the druid is an half-elf woman, rogue is...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    Well, the article is full of agression and derogative terms toward males and roleplayers, thank you. "Hey, did you know that D&D isn't played just by unattractive women? Fair-looking girls with plenty of social life play it too! Even celebrities, like XY metal diva!" Does it sound good? No? I...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    Sure, we're agreeing here, there are a lot of filler arts in them. I just like the overall graphical style better than 5e's, especially Reynolds. And the full page/half page spreads in the books, or APs re generally very good IMO. What's your problem was my biggest problem with SCAG. It's a...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    Assuming you reacted to me, at least in part. You get it wrong IMO. I never said D&D isn't well designed. It's very well designed! But it has certain goals and presumptions in it's design and among the most important ones is simplicity. Not stupidity, but simplicity as a non-derogative word...

    D&D 5E (2014) Bruenor in Out of the Abyss?

    There's no such thing as too much Minsc and Boo! :D As WotC realized "hey, we could bring back old characters", the resurrection of the goody-good butt-kicking team was hands down my favorite decision.

    D&D 5E (2014) Bruenor in Out of the Abyss?

    Was it ever? Anyway, I'm okay with the bringing back of the old team, especially most of them gained new depth with it, especially Bruenor and Regis. I don't like Cattie-Brie very much (I'd like to see more about her studiesas a wizard and less piety) and Wulfgar isn't really adding much to the...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    I want to add that I'm happy about the success of 5e, because, while I found it's not my favorite edition if we count PF and far from my favorite RPG, it's a good game, I play it happily when I get the opportunity. The best part of it that it is a very good game for beginners, easy to learn...

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    Naturally it's very much depending on personal taste, although, for me, 5e's artworks are... often bland, or should I say, too generic? It has very good ones, the MM is fairly good but there's some I don't like in the corebooks. Yes, it's full color (although it's not a sign of quality on...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd: Barovia needs about 10x more people

    Yeah, that's another thing I didn't like about CoS. For me, it's making the thrill of waiting for the sun to came up and other horror troupes basically nonexistent. At the end, 5e's Barovia is functioning only as pocket-realm and as the part of the main setting. It isn't it's own functioning...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd: Barovia needs about 10x more people

    Agree and congratulations, you just reinvented the 2e/3e Ravenloft setting instead of the 5e "even dharkher and bhleakher than thou" take on the old module, which basically lacks every element of a functioning setting. It's a good adventure but it's basically a horror-ride with 5e, not an even...
