    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls's Tweets

    I am out of the loop. Do we still not have a proper skill system in Next, or have they come to their senses?

    Pathfinder 1E Does Detect Thoughts break Invisibility? When?

    As a DM, this is the interpretation that I would go with. However, I think that it is not in accordance with RAW, which is why I posed the question in the first place - I am a player in this campaign and I want to use the Invisibility/Detect Thoughts combo myself, so I wanted to make sure it is...

    Pathfinder 1E Does Detect Thoughts break Invisibility? When?

    Pathfinder, as I labeled the thread. I am referring to the caster's invisibility. As per the PF rules, for invisibility: "For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe". Detect thoughts is a spell whose area may include a foe, but...

    Pathfinder 1E Does Detect Thoughts break Invisibility? When?

    If an Invisible caster casts Detect Thoughts and then scans an area behind a closed door, would that break the Invisibility spell? Presumably, the caster has no idea what's behind the door - friends, foes, neutrals, etc.

    Playing with a new style [Update - switching to it on 12 Nov]

    I have two issues at this time: 1. The navigation bar is not always in the top right corner for me. It switches between that position and being vertically centered on the right side. Now, it's possible that has something to do with AdBlock, but I am currently still a community supporter (at...

    Playing with a new style [Update - switching to it on 12 Nov]

    I've been a proponent of reducing the page header and integrating the various menus into one, and I love this change.

    Review of Ed Greenwood Presents: Elminster’s Forgotten Realms by Wizards of the Coast

    The only even vaguely 4e thing I've noticed is the name of the unmasked Lord of Waterdeep who will succeed Piergeiron (I guess). The majority of the book is written as if the current year were Year of the Prince (1357 DR). There may be more, though, I've only read something like 20 pages and...

    Review of Ed Greenwood Presents: Elminster’s Forgotten Realms by Wizards of the Coast

    The book is here and looks wonderfully fluffy. I hate the HUMONGOUS 4e font, margins, and white space though.

    Windows 8?

    I'm not going to upgrade my desktop to 8, but I may purchase a Surface Pro tablet once it's out.

    Review of Ed Greenwood Presents: Elminster’s Forgotten Realms by Wizards of the Coast

    I've bought a lot of dead tree books, but this is the first WotC product I've bought since Grand History of the Realms in 2007. Hopefully Amazon will soon deliver.

    Dragon 416

    I just took a Dragon off my shelf at random. It's issue 323, September 2004. Total page count, including the bonus 16-page D&D buyer's guide, is 130 pages. If we take out those 16 pages and all adds, we get a total of 81 and a half pages of magazine content. Even if we remove the TOC, ad...

    Unhappy with new forum setup.

    And, just as I thought, there is no way to filter the new forum in Tapatalk. Until the situation is remedied, I am done with ENW. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Big changes a'coming! Merging the D&D forums

    Yes. It's very simple. It's also very slow and requires people to actually tag their threads correctly (which is a huge presumption) or mods to continually police the threads and change tags as necessary (which requires lots of work). How will the new tagging system work on Tapatalk, BTW?

    Big changes a'coming! Merging the D&D forums

    This will end up being a disaster, with D&D Next threads pushing all other threads away to the oblivion of 2nd page within minutes of their posting. And for what? To increase traffic by 5%? To what end? I do not support this decision and, in fact, will very likely cancel my ENW subscription...

    Obsidian's Project: Eternity

    Wow. I'm from Serbia, the country with what is very likely the lowest GDP in Europe, and I wouldn't call $6.99 "still a lot." It's the price of a movie ticket and a large popcorn, and probably less than half the price of a single movie ticket in Western Europe. AFAIK, they did not manage to do...

    Obsidian's Project: Eternity

    BG: Enhanced is nothing more than a cheap-ass cash grab. You can buy BG for peanuts on GOG.com and download the bazillion mods that enhance its resolution, streamline gameplay, add more companions, toughen up the enemies, etc. This is going to be an actual NEW game inspired by the old IE...
