    D&D 5E (2014) How do you think "Epic" play will work (if at all)?

    I'd really love to see something similar to levels 30-36+ of BECMI: "paths" tending toward immortality (and the attainment of it)...though I don't recall the Immortal play being very fun, the questing was much more interesting!

    D&D 5E (2014) Full preview unlocked!

    Well, that's a bunch of stuff :) Seems like they're going on with the idea that the target will be new players as well as old ones...in this case I'm probably with them, after all this hobby needs new levies. I can see you point though. On my part, I'm curious to see how they effectively put...

    You mean the "What Is a DM" and "What Does the DM Do?" parts?

    D&D 5E (2014) Player characters as heirs and eventually rulers

    Being rulers should involve a lot of realm-level play, like law making, politics, and so on, which should impair at least some adventuring. Also, don't forget that a ruler going on adventures steals the scene from other adventurers (e.g.: no more "help save the village from the dragon"-like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mass Combat

    That's really interesting: it's been a while since my last BECMI session, but I really loved the War Machine rules. Since I'm planning a comeback in the DM chair with 5e, could you give me more info? Thank you so much.

    Hehehe...well, it really should! :-)

    D&D 5E (2014) What I want: 17 books or book series (and two boxes) for a Third Golden Age

    Something with a limited access (with a little subscription fee maybe for a more full access), maybe an app that lets you browse content...sadly most of it is copyrighted, so we can only hope in WotC. ...thinking more about it, though, a full-fledged paper encyclopedia would look great! :)

    D&D 5E (2014) So it looks as if the mountain dwarf will still make the best overall wizard.

    Though I'm not yet familiar with 5E, for me this build translates to "Armor-Clad Tank Wizard": not the optimal, but fun nonetheless (and yes, usually I'm attracted to high elves in wizardry...)

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

    Overworld Gaming League maybe? :) Ok, ok, I'm hoping a bit top much...

    D&D 5E (2014) Katana in 5th edition - finesse?

    Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0. probably... It sported that kind of awesomeness ;)

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

    Which language is that? Can't enlarge properly...

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

    That, or rely on community work...or cater only to english speaking people

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

    That's my take as well: hoping for an in-house translation and distribution to give new life to a market which after all WotC itself contributed to kill with M:tG ;-)

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

    As Nikosandros says below, the italian rpg market is quite starving... I can see though that Mystara is a leading setting, since after all is the BECMI one, that was fairly popular here at the time.

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

    While not having myself any problem with reading the rules in english, I can see this choice could potentially harm widespread adoption of 5E, and so WotC as well for sure. I don't have any hopes for an italian version though, but I didn't even before this piece of news came out ;-)

    How do you make demons really scary?

    As I see it, you can use one of two themes. The first is turning upside down what is given: from this stems the "scary child" figure, the innocence turned evil. Use with care though, because the killer baby, the fiendish seminarist (and so on...) can be a bit of a clichè, and lead to a "seen...

    Which adventure from Ryan Nock? [vote]

    That's really a nasty, wonderful idea! :D
