    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Survivor - Deities (Part X: Dawn War Deities)

    Avandra 11 Bahamut 13 Corellon 13-2=11 Erathis 11 Moradin 8 Raven Queen 13+1=14 Sehanine 11 Corellon is a cool god, but he is not unique to the Dawn War. Raven Queen is the best.

    Who could argue with the stunning brilliance of Gleemax?

    WotC WotC blacklist. Discussion

    RPG design and production is a small incestuous pool. A blacklist doesn't have to be anything formal just people who have worked together asking for opinions. I doubt there is a list that is disseminated but almost everyone existing in RPGs has worked or knows of others in the biz.

    WotC WotC blacklist. Discussion

    I am not surprised there is a blacklist for WotC. I am sure it is unspoken or at least, 'unwritten', but there are definitely people WotC, a division of Hasbro, would not want to be associated with in any context. Unfortunately, there are also people who have spoken out about WotC practices that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which common monsters/creature types do you exclude from your campaigns?

    But do you use Roman monsters in your campaigns or exclude them? :ROFLMAO:

    D&D 5E (2014) Which common monsters/creature types do you exclude from your campaigns?

    I was thinking about orcs and their evolution throughout D&D. We went from pig faced to neanderthalesque. From this: To this: Why didn't we go to this: I know Warhammer greenskins and Warcraft pushed D&D along the bestial man path, but boar men are just so much more fun and are not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which common monsters/creature types do you exclude from your campaigns?

    No, no I like grell, particularly intelligent space pirate grell in Spelljammer. I stand by my disdain of the fart powered jellyfish and the 'use dice as a monster of cosmic order'.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which common monsters/creature types do you exclude from your campaigns?

    Savage pack tactic blink dogs would be wonderfully terrifying. Would their baying and howling randomly cut out and emerge while they blink? Even scarier... Gonzo is ok with some things. I don't mind Giff or Space Whales, but modrons leave me cold. I don't mind tentacly weird creatures like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which common monsters/creature types do you exclude from your campaigns?

    I don't exclude much but I heavily modify. I stole the idea of goblinoids all being the same creature just different stages of life.

    D&D 5E (2014) Here's Dragons of Stormwreck Isle's Table of Contents

    This adventure will have big shoes to fill if it is meant to replace The Lost Mines of Phandelver. I am pleased to see that they are shrinking the scope of the adventure, 6 levels is a lot for a starter set, and 3 seem much more reasonable.

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Why We Need Mo' Oerth by 2024

    Yes, grognards always have the originals and 40 years of fan-developed content. Your lawn holds no interest here. It does not reach new audiences and that is the shame of it. Nostalgia is a powerful draw, but it is not enough to breathe new life into Oerth. They should play up that both good...

    D&D General What did you think of the Stranger Things D&D game?

    I had quite a few brilliant players who were LD and unsupported academically if not for BOCES technical classes. Special Education was a lot of throw them in a classroom at the end of the hall out of sight in the 80s in American education or label them behaviors and send them to vocational school.

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Why We Need Mo' Oerth by 2024

    I would love to see Greyhawk for 5E. I love Greyhawk. The WoG boxset was my first purchase with birthday money as a kid. I played a lot to Living Greyhawk in 3E (Kingdom of Keoland represent), so it is near and dear to my heart. That being said, I would like to see Greyhawk updated a bit. I have...

    Spelljammer Spelljammer Miniatures Coming!

    The Tradesman always seemed the odd man out in Spelljammer ship names. All the rest of the human ships have animal names, i.e. squid hammerhead, octopus, dragonfly. The tradesman is a fish shape, I don't know that it particularly looks like a flying fish, but it should have a more elaborate name...

    D&D General What did you think of the Stranger Things D&D game?

    There is a setup for them using critical hits in their D&D campaign. In S3, when Will is in Castle Byers there is a copy of the Best of Dragon V which had an article of critical hits and fumbles tables. I enjoyed the scene. I thought there were a few inaccuracies and anachronisms, but it got...

    D&D General Stranger Things Image of a D&D Game

    The rolling of d10s was for Lady Applejack a 14th level thief and her thief abilities, maybe assassin abilities. I thought the scene of the game was pretty highlight accurate even if a battlemat seems anachronistic. We used miniatures (badly painted) and measured with a tape measure on the...
