    Trapdoor Tech's Official Pathfinder Mobile Application

    Ya, I wonder where DungeonScape or Codename Morningstar or whatever it's current title is at now? Is there still a place for something like what they had in mind after the DM's Guild?

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM questions on dishing out treasure

    Thanks for the clear answers. I know it's sort of a dumb list of questions, but I just wanted to be sure. One thing I want to do, is to make this a campaign where the PCs feel like they're barely scrapping by; literally have to worry about where they will stay the night or how they'll be able...

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM questions on dishing out treasure

    OK, sorry, now I have to give a warning about SPOILERS in order to give examples. There are places where treasure is specified, like a camp that has a specific "Treasure Wagon" among all the wagons in the caravan. And, I think I saw certain NPCs may have treasure specified; but many don't...

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM questions on dishing out treasure

    Dutifully preparing for my first DM session... Was wanting some advice, and also a couple questions I just can't figure out. I'll be running Curse of Strahd. Take any run of the mill encounter, as a general rule, if my PCs kill any NPCs, should I use the Individual Treasure tables (by CR) on...

    What Will Become of the FLGS?

    This is not really a problem only with local gaming stores; it really applies to most all "local" "small" business. At least, any that sell goods which can also be purchased online easily. Local gaming stores will be a very niche business. I don't see them surviving (let alone thriving) unless...

    Hey, there's nowhere but "up", right?

    Sword Coast Legends Developer n-Space Closes Down After 21 Years

    I'm not at home to measure it, but it's definitely as tall as my Colossal Red Dragon. It's heavy too..

    Sword Coast Legends Developer n-Space Closes Down After 21 Years

    I did buy into it. I bought the Limited Edition Collector's version. I very much wanted these guys to succeed. However, I hate to say it, but this is what happens to a game studio that releases a complete crap product and does everything possible to let down an entire generation of D&D fans...

    D&D 5E (2014) Any good (free) character builders now that SRD is out?

    Yes, maybe I should preface with: a standalone builder? that you can print from? The Roll20 one looks like it just works within Roll20? I can't tell...

    D&D 5E (2014) Any good (free) character builders now that SRD is out?

    As the title asks.. Excuse me if this is already a known thing. I've ignored this for months since last I checked that nothing was being done due to "No OGL" to allow one to do so. But now that I see this is available, surely someone has already got something up? I did find this one via...

    [UPDATED] The Archmage (aka Ed Greenwood) Returns to the Forgotten Realms

    Sword Coast Legends - Changes to Head Start access

    Wow, really? Am I to feel privileged to only play a weekend of a half built game, with no single player mode, that is starting to look like it will be reluctantly released months late only to be a full priced, after release Beta? And, this hasn't turned out to be anything like what was hoped...

    Pathfinder Online Layoffs; Ryan Dancey Leaves Company

    I might be the oddball. I don't like pathfinder at all, I actually backed the (second) KS cause I had hoped it'd live up to it's hype. That being said, I'm not surprised at all that it failed. Within 20 seconds of playing the game after it finally came out was an enormous disappointment. In my...

    New D&D Movie To Go Ahead - Produced By Lego Movie's Roy Lee

    What Sweatpea actually released ought to be considered "criminal" in it's own right, and deserves it's own prosecution.

    Gen Con Has Doubled In Size Since 2010

    There are TONS of hotels in and around Indy; TONS. My guess is that people are only using some abbreviated list based on what gencon.com lists and of course if you're looking for something within 1 square mile (in any city) it's gonna be limited no matter where you're at..

    Sword Coast Legends: Campaign Creation Tools

    I'm feelin ya. As someone who has ardently been defending this game and is still really looking forward to it, it's getting harder and harder. I'm afraid that the release on consoles is more revealing than we were led to believe. This is looking more and more like a very dumbed down version of...
