    [Adventure]: The Bane of the Black Dragon (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    I'm torn about if we (actually I) should read Vermitrax's sblock or not for the sake of advancing the thread: I'm supposing that it's the result for his Arcana check and contains info about the swirly golem thingy that he should have no real reason to hold secret, but on the other hand I'm not...

    The defender's masochism

    Well, not exactly. Take the battlemind, for example. He can plant a compulsion that causes excruciating pain on an enemy that attacks anyone... who isn't the battlemind. So it's more like "punish me or I'll punish you", which makes it sadomasochism. Or in other words: How to deal with thieves...

    D&D Blog : Dice Tricks

    I see a poll missing: "Should dice tricks be included, someone among the writing team should have a basic understanding of statistics and probability" * Strongly disagree * Disagree * I like potatoes.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Should Dragons Be Handled In 5e

    I think it's telling that 3e had to turn dragons into wizards in order to make them believable threats.

    Prime nods at Drew and waits for the young monk to jam or disable the plate.

    Adventure: The stolen staff (DM: Someone. Judge: Luinnar)

    ok, sorry for the lack of updates, but I'm thinking on a couple details to add to the adventure to make it much better and I need some inspiration first. Think on it as a rest from the stolen staff trek, and keep an eye on the hanged man thread for news in the coming days.

    D&D Blog. Should Fighters get multiple attacks?

    So they have not figured yet that the best and surest way to slow combat is to increase the number of dice thrown? You may not know, but it takes a lot of skill to type while you're hitting the desk with your face as I'm doing right now.

    Broken NDAs or Elaborate Trolls?

    So what happens when you take a third 10 minute rest? You get a reprimand? you are fired? some pay treasure docked? Also, can you smoke while you get your 10 minute break, or do you have to go outside of the dungeon?

    Measurements for ranges and grids

    Same for me. Feet and inches feel much appropiate for a land where, not too much offense intended, people burn young women because they weight the same as a duck.

    What rules do you feel have been included in any edition with organized play in mind?

    D&D 5E (2014) [Very Long Indeed] Reconciling Combat as War and Combat as Sports in 5ed

    I don't feel you're reconciling CaS and CaW by your suggested class roles rather than making them good at one or the other. I'd like perhpas this approach: Fighter: When in combat he can rely on his good to hit, damage and AC bonuses to go toe to toe with monsters and be victorious. His combat...

    Spoilers: Some guy in Friends & Family playtest apparently violates his NDA

    So, isn't it time yet to tear our hair out and run in circles screaming?

    Wizards In Winter - Low-Level Thread (DM: Son of Meepo, Judge: TwoHeadsBarking)

    No, it doesn't. I added the vulnerability to the damage roll; it's normally 3d8+6, not 3d8+16. I failed the attack roll, so it takes half damage (miss line in power description), which is the last step in calculating damage. So it takes 15, not 25

    Wizards In Winter - Low-Level Thread (DM: Son of Meepo, Judge: TwoHeadsBarking)

    The pixie is a bit annoyed with the tiny tornadoes and swarms of snowflakes. Since his dust it worked so well the first time, maybe repeating it will do the trick again. Wonderful! a pinch of dust on the last dust devil sends it in the blink of an eye to the ceiling, where it disperses. Then...

    Adventure: The stolen staff (DM: Someone. Judge: Luinnar)

    "So, you've dealt with orcs, hm?" says Daav. "Maybe we could talk in a more quiet place? This street isn't very inviting. Do you know any tavern?"

    We'll move eventually to a new thread, but for now we'll continue using this one Eva doesn't exactly find any clue as what the message means, instead look slike someone found her. After spending a few hours looking for information a man approaches Eva and greets her with a brief bow. "I'm...

    Do You Want A D&D That Is "Faster, Better, Smarter"?

    With every new iteration they've (IMHO) looked at what they thought it didn't work and tried to improve it, but by doing that enough babies were thrown along with the bathwater that they may be a bit wiser now and desing a system that's truly better and smarter.

    [Adventure]: The Bane of the Black Dragon (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)

    Since looks like no new adventures are coming for PCs in our level range, I'm all for continuing. If you're worried about people not posting very frequently, having a good tough battle usually makes threads move more vividly
