    I think people want to be on their phones. And if that fails, a computer as a very distant second.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Essentials Kit Offers a New Place to Start

    Every one of these you buy (at least in these first few weeks) is one some 10yr old likely won’t—and our titular enworld member buying scalped eBay editions probably belongs back in that alignment thread from last week...

    Chaotic Good Is The Most Popular Alignment!

    I resonate with your assessment. There’s a lot more to alignment than the 9 box. And since everyone ends up seeing each category differently—or at least so widely within the category—that someone’s chaotic neutral is someone else’s lawful good...it should make us wonder if there’s anything in...

    Chaotic Good Is The Most Popular Alignment!

    That chart says two alignments make up half of all selected. And they’re chaotic good/neutral. And 5x more popular than lawful good. Or we could look at the leading line only. What’s the ratio of unselected? AKA, those that don’t find value in the system? It may be that there’s simply a...

    Worlds of Design: RPGs in Just Six Words

    I mean, you have to put SOME poetry in there or it’s just; 5 long books, more coming maybe. Westeros, and some other places too. Dragons return unexpectedly, :):):):) goes down. Lions vs wolves vs other people.

    Those are kind of dry... Game of Thrones; Be ready to applaud evil people Who’s good? It gets pretty complicated... Choose your death, zombies or Cersei. Or a little critical jibe—Maximum gratuitousness, loses focus over time.

    Young Jim Ward and the Dice Monster

    Those were some pretty shady business moves man! My funny story about Dragon Dice. Been working off/on with ways to make a stand-alone RPG with them. Dusted off the 50pg of the most recent (2012) work just yesterday. What a cool game. What a neat object. So, why a mini resurrection at my...

    Eat This, It's Good for You!

    That’s a neat Easter egg in 5th edition—telling characters to eat every 5th day! “A character can go without food for a number of days equal to 3 + his or her Constitution modifier (minimum 1). A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food to zero.”

    D&D 5E (2014) Strongholds & Followers: A Review

    Real quick - Beth, you weren’t digging the dragons because they’re organic instead of crystalline beings? The word you used was “normal”, and for me a normal red colored dragon has big jaws, frills, and two horns—likely of contrasting color. Heck, Pathfinder trying to find a look for their Red...

    One Page Adventure: The Business of Emotion

    The rumors section paints a picture that people are having so much sex they can’t do anything. So who is standing around delivering this information to the party? And how does #4 work? This is one weird love potion!

    What's the Best Holiday to Game?

    It’s really hard for me to tell how serious this article is—playing war games you wouldn’t normally to celebrate someone’s military service? Did I maybe misread the part that I’ll be out of town and gathering with people of widely mixed ages and interests—who I see but rarely? Because that’s...

    D&D 4E Mike Mearls on how 4E could have looked

    The sentence about skill checks and errata cuts off mid. Yup, don’t need hundreds of comments to tell me this whole post is a bad idea. What would’ve been better if wizards unlocked words of power? Warriors would’ve unlocked what - moves of power? Appreciate it as a great miniatures game. Geez.

    Art & Arcana Review: A Sumptuous Feast for the Eyes

    How much cooler would that red dragon have been without those fangs cluttering up the sword area. This actually looks way cool.

    Ravnica Update: Focus on Five Guilds

    Kinda beating a dead horse here—but at least the first major typo was a ways in? When I read that Golgari recyclers collected refuge [sic], I thought; “hey maybe it’s ‘refuse’, no...they extract valuables from THEM...it must be refugees’”. Welp, the editing must’ve stopped about there...
