    Watch Chris Perkins' First Episode of DICE, CAMERA, ACTION

    I will be quite blunt and say that I hope Titansgrave isn't the model for anything WotC try and do. I thought it was pretty terrible (and this from the channel that produces Critical Role). That said, I'm also finding D/C/A underwhelming. I don't mind Evelyn at all, and I like Strix a lot. The...

    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss: Hemeth the Duergar

    He's been mentioned, in passing by a duergar trading party the PC's managed to avoid a fight with, but I actually replaced the sacrifice at Sloobludop with Skriss from the Society of Brilliance, so Hemeth stands in reserve for now.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance 5E

    I love Dragonlance, but honestly, I don't want to see yet another rehash of Chronicles. Krynn is a rich roleplaying landscape that deserves more exploration.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance 5E

    Oh do spell it correctly. My post-War of the Lance campaign is in real trouble, then.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Many Classes Have You Tried?

    I mostly DM, but have managed to play so far: Assassin Rogue (mad good fun on a busy battlefield) Circle of Moon Druid (and likewise an amazingly fun class) This is the first edition in some time where I'm getting regular action as a player as well as a DM. It's like the extra course of an...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance 5E

    Not sure if troll, but it sounds to me like you don't get Dragonlance *at all*.

    D&D 5E (2014) what is it about 2nd ed that we miss?

    Once every few weeks, I play in an 2E Ravenloft campaign. When we started, the combat speed felt like cool rain on a hot day after 4E. With 5E, even that one advantage has all-but gone. I can't think of a single thing about those old mechanics that I prefer over the modern editions.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Show From WOTC - Dice, Camera, Action!

    Some channels put previous broadcasts behind a pay-wall but WotC's have always been available after the fact on Twitch, at least for a couple of months.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is this an abuse of the Advantage/Disadvantage system?

    It might depend on the table (for example, I would consider stricter rules adherence if DM'ing an open table for people I'd never met), but with a group of friends, I feel a strong need to make sure everyone that sits at my table is having a good time. In fact it's my over-riding priority as a...

    D&D 5E (2014) things I changed for my game

    Not true, at least in my experience.

    D&D 5E (2014) Barkskin clarification

    Agreed. It's a mainstay of the druids in my circle (Ithangyou).

    Want To See The Castle Ravenloft Poster Map In CURSE OF STRAHD?

    Looks like a photoshop touch-up of the original, but no worse for it. :)

    CURSE OF STRAHD'S Foreword By Tracy Hickman

    Tracy discusses this very thing with the WotC guys in one of the recent podcasts, a great listen.

    D&D 5E (2014) How did you fare against Venomfang the Young Green Dragon Lost Mine of Phandelver?

    After a warning from the druid, my party decided they were going to have at Venomfang (if you knew them, then like me you would have fully expected this). They pooled their money and jewels, and fooled the dragon with a simple plan to offer it the whole lot while disguised as the (soon to be...

    D&D 5E (2014) DMing "Out of the Abyss"

    The Society leapt from the pages for me. They'll be integral to the campaign. I gave Grazilaxx a pet intellect devourer called Crotex and have him tracking maddened purple worms through the Underdark as a means of studying what is happening. The party came upon him just after escaping such a...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Magic: Does it Feel Magical to You?

    I think my preconception of magic *is* D&D. I started roleplaying a little before I began to read significant amounts of fantasy, so this isn't surprising. I would say that yes, perhaps there is too much magic flying around in an average game of 5E, but also yes, D&D magic does feel wondrous...

    New DRAGON+ Delves Into Ravenloft; Includes CURSE OF STRAHD Preview Adventure

    Rothfus! That's timely -- I just finished the second part of Name of the Wind! (Only to find out there isn't yet a third part :(( )

    D&D 5E (2014) Cell Phone and Electronic Etiquette at your 5e Table

    I have my phone with me, and if it rings, I will probably at least look at the caller ID. Otherwise, it stays out of sight, and never comes out.
