    ORCUS! EXCLUSIVE! ESCAPIST!

    Wow. PWK at-will while on his lair? The Tarrasque really is feeble compared to THIS...

    AMA with Monte Cook (Numenera, D&D, Monte Cook Games, Malhavoc Press)

    Okay, straight to what really puzzled me on the thoughts of a top pro designer; What do you think of the so-called "Linear Fighters Quadratic Wizards" problem, that has been ravaging the Internet for at most around 4 decades?

    D&D 5E (2014) The Mutliverse and Time

    Time is relative. :) No, seriously.

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell Preparation: Leaving Slots Open

    Heh, I was going to say "Would personally rule as okay to leave a few spells unprepared, with later preparations taking 1 minute per spell level prepared", but looks like a lot of others already proposed the same idea...

    D&D 5E (2014) Still no OGL (or other license) for 5e? Why not clone 5e with the OGL?

    I just wish that I'm no longer scared of getting sued for just putting up a darned stat block with numbers on a personal webpage to brag to others... For example, TRS under that Lorr..Whatever's tyranny did so; MCG just disallows it openly with their Fan Policy, if I'm not mistaken. Which is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Still no OGL (or other license) for 5e? Why not clone 5e with the OGL?

    Probably because most people don't like to fuss with Ha$bro's lawyers? No, seriously, while I'd squee at the first news of an Open Game 5E, the Big H most likely wouldn't...

    Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Occult Adventures

    5 out of 5 rating for Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Occult Adventures While there are some minor flaws with math stuff, overall it's a good psionics book for Pathfinder. At the least, it's OFFICIALLY supported now by Paizo themselves, starting with this book. The concept of "psychic magic"...

    D&D 5E (2014) So what's exactly wrong with the fighter?

    To the OP: Hard coded class features that help with the non-combat "pillars" of adventure. The Battlemaster's 7th level feature, while quite shaky, is a good start for inspirations, or so I believe.

    D&D 5E (2014) Some things I don't care for in the D&D culture

    Well, while it is quite abstract compared to the 3.X ones, 5th Edition does have its own share of accurate simulations, like letting a highly trained fighter march 30 feet and kill 4 mooks in line with one blow each, per any six seconds. I'm still frustrated by those people who believe this is...

    Should NPCs Have to Follow the Same Rules as PCs?

    Yes, EXACTLY! ...I remember you, Sir Oakley...

    Should NPCs Have to Follow the Same Rules as PCs?

    This certainly is a casting of Thread Necromancy, but I had to cast it... for I couldn't resist the urge to proudly announce that I am on the PC-NPC Equal Rules camp, that is. As a simulationist who abandoned his personal first D&D edition (4E Essentials, that is) after learning about the...

    D&D 5th Edition Basic Rules

    5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Basic Rules All in all, just put this in your tablet computer or whatever and enjoy. You'll love this. ...if only we had a OGL or something similar for at least this so we could tinker away without hinders...

    Build Your Own Terrain with BATTLEHEX!

    Great idea, but isn't the price a little too steep? Oh well, we have 2 weeks left to decide for support...

    D&D 5E (2014) Multiclass saving throws?

    As far as I know, they don't get new ST proficiencies when multiclassing. Unless you take the Resilient feat or get a certain number of levels in Monk, Rouge, etc., you're stuck with your first class' STs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragons and Resistances

    Well, apart from resistances, I believe that they should have at least be given magical weapon attacks. Frankly it's quite disturbing to see them get slaughtered by iron golems that easily...

    D&D 5E (2014) I Am One of the Few Who Plays D&D in Japan

    If I'm correct, they have their own RPG rules like Sword World (2.0?) dominating the market. Am I right, to any extent?

    Dungeon World

    5 out of 5 rating for Dungeon World If you're not a gritty simulationist, this should take you through a great old school dungeon adventure without much trouble. While I'm personally obsessed with RPG universe physics and numbers to a certain degree, works like this one that says outright from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Creation

    Quite likely, yes. And probably more closer to a true CR 30 monster, I'd say. Oh, don't forget to add a debris throwing ranged weapon attack! :)
