    What's up with international shipping on Kickstarter?!?

    That's a shame, because I really liked participating in your Interface Zero 2.0 kickstarter (and can't wait for my book to arrive).

    D&D 5E (2014) No price reduction on Amazon UK?

    It dropped to £25.40 sometime after I preordered it on 22nd May.

    Funny - I was thinking exactly the same thing today...

    D&D 5E (2014) What Campaign Setting Do You Plan On Using?

    Probably Pelinore, from the old TSR UK magazine Imagine.

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew Campaigns in 5e

    I'm thinking of dusting off my campaign from the 80's set in Pelinore. Been re-reading my notes and the Imagine articles.

    Looking for recommendations for a new TV!

    No they don't, and no they don't. They do use a lot more power than LCD/LED, aren't as bright, and not many manufacturers make them any more. Which is a real shame if you are into home theatre and want to watch the best picture quality in a room that isn't brightly lit, but don't want a projector.

    D&D 5E (2014) So when do you think the PDFs will go on sale? (Speculation)

    I believe that the colonials refer to them as rotaries.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lets Rank the 5e Skills!

    I think that there's a fine line here, and I think you're standing on the side that I'm comfortable with :) Similarly, a player doesn't declare "I'm a fifth level fighter, I attack the orcs <rattle, rattle 17> Did I defeat them?" There's a mini game where he may describe trying to get...

    D&D 5E (2014) Lost Mine of Phandelver - comments and complaints after read-through (spoilers)

    Ask them "Are you really sure your character wants to do that?" . "Really?" "OK - do your characters have wills?"

    D&D 5E (2014) “Stealing tapestries doesn’t make you a better person, except…” - Yet Another D&D 5e Starter Set Unboxing Video

    Although it can be fun at Gencon, where the place is full of foreigners with strange accents ;)

    British Telecom blocking access to EN World

    I think the key point is that EN World (and other forums) is not blocked because it contains adult content, it's blocked because it is social networking. So, EN World and gaming forums are being lumped in with Facebook, Twitter, etc. As soon as a child persuades a parent to let them access...

    British Telecom blocking access to EN World

    Unfortunately, as you say, ENW and the other forums are categorised as "social networking", which is a category blocked by the default level of Parental Control. Parents that wanted to allow their children to access social networking sites have a number of options, including using the "light"...

    British Telecom blocking access to EN World

    BT is my ISP. I don't have any problems getting to ENW (or The Piazza), but then I don't have any parental controls enabled. From the email Russ posted, it sounds like you can override the default settings with your own personal blocked or allowed lists, so you should be OK once you've done...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC will not allow translation of D&D NEXT.

    Or, as I like to call it, English ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) Where (and when) are you getting the Starter Set?

    Very similar for me - except that I've pre-ordered the Big 3 in hardback from Amazon, using vouchers from trading in my 4e books.

    D&D 5E (2014) Where (and when) are you getting the Starter Set?

    If you've been on this forum every day, then I'm surprised that you haven't seen the link on every page called "Breaking News! CLICK HERE for full details on the D&D NEXT RELEASE SCHEDULE!", the discussions about the release dates, or the infographic Russ posted on the front page. Obviously...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wounds and Vitality module, what default mechanics don't fit?

    I used the rules from Roger Musson's "How to Lose Hit Points and Survive" article 30 years ago when I played AD&D in the 80's. It worked great for us.
