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

    I think your "take" here is your own. And definitely does not speak for the general populace. Unless you'd care to back it up with some kind of gathered statistical evidence? Because it certainly doesn't match what I know of the countless people I've shared a gaming table with in my multiple...

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

    You don't just have my (close enough to) same name, you have my memories too?!?

    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for unique suggestions on making player resurrections punishing.

    To riff off of this awesome idea a bit, and since it seems to me the OP is looking for things the living friend(s) need to do to pull it off... What if the spell requires a living person to step forward and formally petition Death as part of the ceremony. So the service being asked of Death...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Warlock broken?

    Of course it does. Are you trying for "Unnecessary statement of the year"? Here is where I disagree. I see very little in 5e that falls outside of acceptable variance. And since I've seen (and/or played) beastmaster rangers, warlocks, and even a frenzied barbarian (sticking to the three being...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rolled character stats higher than point buy?

    Whew. I made the cut. What a relief. I'll be sorry to see a lot of you go though. You will be missed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Warlock broken?

    Three whole people? That's amazing. Clearly if three people agree on something it must be a fact...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Warlock broken?

    Yeah. I've found I use the combo much less often than I originally thought I would when I started playing. Its fun once in a great while when circumstances happen to line up. But its nowhere near my go-to.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Warlock broken?

    Yeah. I think preconceived expectations and previous edition baggage get in the way of a lot of people enjoying 5e for what it is in its own right.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Warlock broken?

    Wow. Warlocks suck... Rangers suck... Barbarians suck... Anyone taken a moment to step back and consider maybe its their perception, or perhaps expectations, that suck?

    All Change At WotC: New President Arrives From Microsoft As Greg Leeds Resigns

    So you think this thread is about what is bugging me about the new hire? Interesting. **Edit: Because that's how what you said can be parsed...**

    All Change At WotC: New President Arrives From Microsoft As Greg Leeds Resigns

    Interesting. Show me. You cited an opinion about a perceive bit of "semantic gymnastics", you mean... I believe that was addressed immediately following by at least one other. Are you still tying to establish some kind of fact that any "semantic gymnastics" ever occurred in the first place? You...

    All Change At WotC: New President Arrives From Microsoft As Greg Leeds Resigns

    Did you give your educated negative opinion the extra weight its due? Because, of the 30 individuals who have thus far posted, I count only a small handful who have made negative comments about the change. Were you hoping you could drive the narrative? Talk about railing on...

    All Change At WotC: New President Arrives From Microsoft As Greg Leeds Resigns

    Does it? I would've thought something like a business degree would make more sense. Or even law. But okay. I just hope you weren't attempting to declare superior authority or something. That could get awkward. Especially give how little you know of the educational accomplishments of the rest of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Warlock broken?

    I think it would be hard to sell any kind of consensus here as anything substantive. Even if every member of ENWorld were to chime in on the subject it would have little real meaning.

    D&D 5E (2014) Battlemaster Maneuvers - only 3-4 good ones?

    I agree with your assessment. And by that I mean, that I agree people like win-buttons. The bigger the win-button, the more attractive and desirable it is.

    D&D 5E (2014) Glabagool mount

    When we recently encountered Glabagool it reminded me of an encounter I wrote for a 4e RPGA MYRE adventure at our local conventions. It involved a trio of unique oozassins: sentient oozes dispatched by Ghaunadaur to ambush and kill the PCs. (Yes, I came up with the word 'oozassins'. No, you...
