My take on the monk is that it is a rogue that trades sneakattack for speed - a scout without the bite.

I am worried this might be the case.

Hm, I never bought the old Kingmaker books from Paizo (I bought them used from a friend). So it was not them I was looking at... Seems this is an artifact from when I was subscribing to their adventure path. Still very confusing. It does say in the shopping cart that I ordered it, and I have a...

A yes, spraying black and drybrushing is a very easy, effective way of speed painting.

I use color set from Foundry - a UK based miniatures maker more focused on historical than fantasy but otherwise similar to Citadel - some designers work for both manufacturers. The paints themselves are very similar to what Citadel colors used to be - they are in the soft plastic pots Citadel...

Its the crowdfunding thing. Yes, it took that long.

A fun note here is that the 5E weapon table (PH p 149) has sickle as a weapon separate from the scimitar.

Finding the pre-orders at Paizo.com, they say this: "Note: You purchased this product Apr 3, 2016." Seems I DID buy it. And they kept track of it too, when I did not. :)

I thought I had ordered it on Kickstarter, but now it seems I never did. :( I do hope they sell the PDF version separately - I find I read those more than the book version. But then I just got myself new glasses... How much 5E adaption is there? I have a Kingamker campaign on hold waiting for...

Monster Manual p 6 defines creature types. Humanoids are on p 7. "Humanoids are the main peoples of the D&D world, both civilized and savage, including humans and a tremendous variety of other species. They have language and culture, few if any innate magical abilities (though most humanoids...

That of course depends on the game, but its good to see you think so as it makes elf balance more reasonable. I find one odd resistance not so valuable, while Perception and charm resistance are both very good and trance is good. But then, my game features more fey and thieves than dungeons and...

My comment on the 6E elf is that it, like the 5E elf, seems overpowered. Compare it to the 6E teifling,l which is very smiliar except that it lacks some of the elf's abilities.

I hate how darkvision is basically a prerequisite for scouting in dungeons. Since monsters have darkvision they won't use lights, and a scout carrying light can't sneak. This makes halflings useless as scouts. No job for you, Mr. Bilbo Baggins, the dwarves make better dungeon scouts than you...

Funny thing: When I googled to find the feedback, Google landed me here. :)

Nice to see Age of Worms mentioned so much and so positively. Saldy Age of Worms was published in Dungeon Magazine, which was at that time run by Paizo - who at this time was much smaller than it is today. This means that is caught in lawyer hell and likely cannot be republished.

What I did for my homebrew was mash all the small races (except kobolds) into one race, the Hobs. Goblins, halflings, gnomes - all hobs. Hobs tend to fall into different archetypes depending on life experiences, so a hob born in a "goblin" tribe thinks of itself as a goblin.

Refreshing. Grimdark is SO over-used. Stillmight not bemy bag, 'cause I am not a fan of dungeonlands. But yes, no Grimdark!

My view on the long lives of elves is that they never mature. They look like and act like human teenagers. Attractive, impulsive, will try anything. So quite the opposite of your idea. Have fun with whatever you decide to use.

I play in the Greyhawk setting. I like it becasue it feels more coherent than kitchen sink settings like the Forgotten Realms, and still has a very great variety. In the Forgotten Realms, civilization exists in separate islands with little contact. Each genre has its own area: if you want...

Simulationism and gamism are not absolutes. Are there games that are more gamist than DnD? Yes, Monopoly is an example. Are there games that are less gamist? Yes Harnmaster is an example. And so on. If you want to call a particular game gamist or not depends on your own preferences, your own...
