    D&D 5E (2014) Why I Think D&DN is In Trouble

    To be fair, Paizo has freelancers on pretty much everything. You would be surprised at the number of even hardcover book authors who are freelancers. I remember meeting people who I thought were Paizo employees (Paizo shirts and all), and finding out they were all freelancers who just worked...

    Well, if they mean Seattle summer, then that's from July 4th till like the end of September. :D

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Release Date Set -- Summer 2014

    I don't see this on their website...I'm starting to question the accuracy of this, to be honest.

    D&D 5E (2014) Next D&D Next Adventure Scourge of Sword Coast will be PDF Only

    Are we sure there will be no D&D Next items for sale by the time this rolls around?

    D&D 5E (2014) Next D&D Next Adventure Scourge of Sword Coast will be PDF Only

    I run Encounters at a fairly large LGS; I'm curious as to whether they've been told that they will be given free copies. I know we got free copies of the last two encounters seasons. As for access to the rules - my understanding is that the rules will be included within the encounters seasons...

    D&D 5E (2014) Next D&D Next Adventure Scourge of Sword Coast will be PDF Only

    Folks are aware this is exactly how Pathfinder Society (Pathfinder Organized Play) works - right? The products are purely digital, and bought by those who want to run it. What I bet will happen is that stores that consistently run Encounters might be sent free codes to redeem. All they're...

    Pathfinder 1E Sell me on an Adventure Path (to adapt to/mine for 5E)

    I'd look into Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle actually - it's a pretty good adventure, easily on par with most of the APs Paizo publishes (and those have generally been some of my favorite adventures). Out of existing APs - Kingmaker would be the hardest to adapt, but probably the best one to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Playtest Packet soon to be removed: ooohhhh!

    Based on what I've been told; the newer products will have updated rules from the closed playtest. The closed playtest has some pretty good differences between the public playtest, so I agree with the decision to pull the public rules; there's easily enough differences that it will confuse...

    And in 2014?

    I would be surprised they are close to releasing - we're still getting a ton of big things to test (I think I can say I'm in the closed playtest? Read through the NDA, nothing about saying whether you're in it or not...) Honestly, some of the classes have changed enough to the point it might...

    And in 2014?

    Where is everyone getting that from? I've seen hints of it on twitter, but nothing official from anywhere?

    Would Paizo Make a Better Steward for Our Hobby?

    #5 was done by WotC with the original miniatures lines for D&D IIRC - they moved away from it at some point though. If Paizo made electronic tools to the level of character builder / adventure tools; they would have a much better chance of getting newer players IMO. Younger players are just...

    Looking for a Crystal Shard Launch Event...

    Um, is that on Wizards or the shipping company?

    Would Paizo Make a Better Steward for Our Hobby?

    Anyone noticed we're pretty much stumbling along the same lines of reasoning that probably prompted the creation of the OGL?

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    Aye, I mean, I'm fine with it being gamist enough to be functional, and having enough cognitive dissonance for the game to feel "real" to me. Everyone's levels are sort of different in that respect. (Cheekily speaking, 3E Darkvision, btw, annihilates any and all credence to the idea of 3E...

    Would Paizo Make a Better Steward for Our Hobby?

    I'm not sure he's saying the people who play PF are causing damage - I think he's saying the splintering of the player base is causing damage. While 4E most certainly did its' part in this by being such a divergent game from 3E, and created an opening, the splintering of a player base is easily...

    Pathfinder 1E What happened to "Basic Pathfinder"?

    Been doing monster creation for 5E & DM'ing; it's very similar to 4E in that respect. The slowing down of bonuses makes designing monsters fast and simple.

    D&D 5E (2014) I just don't buy the reasoning behind "damage on a miss".

    A) That would mean any fireball fired into a small hallway with no cover should not allow any saves :-p (Be careful about how "realistic" one gets, as D&D Magic is a far, FAR greater violator of common sense. Don't even get me started on how 3.5E dwarves & orcs shoot lasers out of their eyes.)...

    Portcullis? I feel like I missed something....I am fairly sure that you cannot make melee attacks through a portcullis?
