    D&D 5E (2014) How viable is 5E to play at high levels?

    Oh yes! It actually made for an interesting mega-encounter. They did have a few iffy moments of players going down and if the onslaught continued much longer, they would've been toast. As someone who plays a lot of old-school games, this really appeals to me. I think I'll try it. Thanks. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) How viable is 5E to play at high levels?

    Six. Standard I would not be allowing these in the future. As a whole they don't seem broken but there are one or two things in each class that can negate quite a bit. The latest "encounter" involved them causing a scene in the lower level of the Hill Giant stronghold from Yawning Portal...

    D&D 5E (2014) How viable is 5E to play at high levels?

    Can someone who is obviously a greater DM than I give me an example encounter that works? Say I have a party of 6 ranging from (four 11's, one 13 and one 14). Feats have been allowed (multiclassing is but no one used it). I have a hard time challenging them without bringing down the what seems...

    "Aw snap" error on Wheaton article

    Also, I noticed in Firefox, that the link to "announces the return of Blue Rose" is broken. So there might be some HTML funkiness going on in the post (or it's not related). EDIT: The link in question contains some regular text in the href instead of a URL.

    Is the time right for electronic dice?

    Considering that there is no such thing as a truly random number in electronics or computing, I would say no. Plus tabletopping is one of my ways to get away from technology so I'm biased.

    Using Golarion for 4e

    I like Golarion but would like to run 4e instead of 3.5 or Pathfinder. I'm sure someone has tackled this, is it a daunting task or simply a matter of figuring out where certain races fit in?

    MySQL Help Wanted: Current my.cnf file

    Michael, did you change anything since you posted this? It seems to be not doing so well. I really suggest that you look at your slow query log (turn it on if you haven't) and DESCRIBE on those queries to find some good indexes. "High Performance MySQL" is a good book that has some indexing and...

    Front Page Really slow to load

    Are you on shared hosting? First step in fixing this is moving off that if finances can support it. Have you checked your slow query logs? This looks like the result of some really slow queries causing subsequent queries to wait. Disk access speed could also be a culprit. I suggest moving the...
