We're one session into Against the Giants. I reskinned the five backgrounds included in Basic as the five most powerful factions in Geoff, each supplying a hero for the quest to take down the giants. Other than that, the session gave birth to the following details: The Giants used to rule the...

I can't say much about Pundit, as I know very little about him, but I did a double take when I saw Zak S's name in connection with these allegations. The man can be abrasive, no doubt about it, but this is obviously nonsense to anyone who reads any amount of his output.

I like it at first glance, although I'm sure someone will chime in with the obvious drawback that's escaping me. While I don't really miss healing surges that much from 4e, I do miss the "surge value".

I think (suspect/get the feeling) that any electronic 5e material (other than Basic) will be published through Codename: Morningstar. Because, y'know, Trapdoor Tech's previous work.

I missed your previous post, but that's basically the same as 4e--the mechanics are a little different, but the overall effect looks the same. Less worried about readying actions, as my players very, very rarely do. This is a tad more worrying, if it's correct that 5e characters are more fragile.

I do the same, my group much prefers it to cyclical initiative (if only for ease of tracking), and it creates a rather different dynamic to fights that I like. But do you (or anyone) have any idea what effect it might have on 5e? It mostly worked fine in 4e, except it sometimes messed with PC...

There's also a huge difference between scanning something in and converting it, and exporting it straight from InDesign (or whatever layout program they use).

:eek: Aren't you a landlord? How...?

For one, it's not true. The reason the road has been stalled (not cancelled) is because of heavy protest (the area is beautiful and was immortalized by our most famous painter, who painted it dozens of times) and accusations of corruption (that the only reason this road is being built is to...

I believe Feats grew to eat their Specialty umbrellas. And won't be in Basic, so you'll have to wait for the PHB.

We already knew Thanos was going to be in GotG, we just didn't know to what extent. I think the bigger news is that he's going to be in Avengers 2.

I did something like this: I cut out the half-level bonus on both sides, decreased Monster numbers by the expertise bonus (and cut out all expertise feats), incorporated half of inherent bonuses in as a 'tier-bonus' and reduced the range of magic items from +1-6 to +1-3. Worked fine and sped up...

The very first RPG I made was DD&D (or Doddi's D&D) when I was nine years old. It didn't have very robust rules, as much as it was comprised of lists of things I remembered/understood from D&D. I think there were some in between, but when I was twelve I created a cyberpunky game called 2100...

They just kinda look the same to me, the D&D Troll and the D&D Hag. I buy them as the same species. I have a difficulty connecting the hag to germanic-style trolls/ogres, because in my folklore the scary magician trolls are always female, while the males are idiotic thugs. So a female...

I was grabbed by the urge to to read some D&D fiction--I'm going through a stressful period pretty much devoid of gaming and I wanted something relatively light which kept my mind in the realm of RPGs--so I got myself the original Dragonlance trilogy, which I read as a teenager (and is one of...

Hmm. I guess I should cut down on the zapping. (But such pretty code.)

Well, for one, it sidesteps a lot of possible moral quandaries—if we don't stop him, he's gonna destroy the world!

The D&D troll seems like a pretty good fit for the D&D hag.

I love/hate how any incarnation of the X-Men is unable to not become a convoluted mess. And then they try to fix it, only adding layers to the ever growing ball of confusion.

As much as I do enjoy a good trashy slasher flick--the gorier the better--I just cannot sit through torture porn (like the Saw movies).
