    D&D General What Even Is The Deal With DnD Dragons?

    I'm actually running a whole campaign centered around slaying dragons at the moment. Some reasons I like the multiple colors of dragons: Adds some variety to multiple different adventures featuring dragons. Easy to delineate different factions of dragons scheming against each other. Dragon...

    D&D 5E (2014) Setting a game in the Astral Plane

    Things not aging on the plane would put a real damper on any flora and fauna. Things might stow away, but only the original be in the city without any reproduction. Though I could see the githyanki growing flowers on the material plane and then transporting them to the Tu'narath and creating...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wounds - when would you give them?

    My house rule is that when a character drops to 0, they make a Con save with a DC equal to half the damage from the hit that dropped them, and if they fail they roll on the lingering injury table. In the first adventure of the campaign, the breath weapon from a red dragon dropped 4 out of 6...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ways to reduce an enemy saving throw?

    A bunch of conditions will hamper Dex and possible Str saves. Paralyzed, restrained, stunned, etc. So anything that can cause those.

    Have you ever written a standalone set of RPG rules?

    I've designed a couple and self-published. The first, Abstract Dungeon, was very much because I had an idea that I didn't see existing anywhere else. I wanted something that could handle conflicts fast to keep fights from bogging down the story, and I ended up using a resource spending...

    Kickstarter, RPG Zine Quest, and Luke "Burning Wheel" Crane

    If you want to commission art then yes black and white is cheaper, but if I were starting a zine, I wouldn't do that. There are plenty of ways you can get free or inexpensive art that you can legally use in your publication. Sites like Wikimedia Commons have a ton of public domain art...

    Kickstarter, RPG Zine Quest, and Luke "Burning Wheel" Crane

    I agree with AriochQ, that this seems to really be about nostalgia, and unfortunately some of the requirements makes me feel like it looks it confuses the trappings of zines for the spirit of zines. I don't zine makers of old chose to use only one color ink or make their books 5.5 x 8.5 because...

    RPG Crowdfunding News 098: The Runewild, Interbellum, World of Alessia, The Steel Road, SuperAge, Vi

    Yeah, I went ahead and asked my current backers and the majority of them prefer the current scheme, so we'll stick with that. Hopefully we'll hit those stretch goals and get the color art.

    RPG Crowdfunding News 098: The Runewild, Interbellum, World of Alessia, The Steel Road, SuperAge, Vi

    HI jerryrice4949, I'm the Runewild publisher. I am trying to keep the cost of the initial goal as low as possible, and thought people would prefer more art even if it was black and white. Let me ask you about an alternative though: What if the base goal had color art, but fewer pieces, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Runwild Previews - Fey-themed sandbox adventure

    Beyond the kingdom of Aruanda, there is an untamed land. It is a place where witches walk, where goblins cavort, where the borders between the realms of mortal and fey grow thin. For some, it is a place of unspeakable wonder; for others, only madness and death lie within its trackless depths...
