It seems that (if it is only one person on jury duty) they thought the priority of the UA articles was high enough to shift them to someone else, while that isn't the case for the conversion stuff. Or, as has been suggested by others, the conversion rules needs some special attention, that can't...

It does seem to have been moved a bit. What threw me off with the HotDQ map is, that it isn't actually oriented exactly north/south, but has been turned a bit, making the coast seem almost straight north/south aligned. Before I noticed the compass being slightly off, I thought they had made a...

A lot of grief seems to be the answer...

That all seems to make sense. I would probably allow the shield hand in the cleric example to be used for the somatic component, even if the spell doesn't need the shield as a focus/material component., That would make it a bit simpler in-game, but I can see the point of doing it like suggested...

It really depends on the group. The one I am currently DM'ing is a bunch of friends and I would never presume to invite a new player without talking it over with the group (and getting their acceptance). On the other hand, I am contemplating starting up with a new group of people solely based on...

I prefer four players, but for short campaigns I wouldn't mind going with five. More than that and I don't feel I can give each player the attention they deserve.

Personally I hated 3e when it was released, but fortunately I could just keep playing 2e, as my old books didn't magically disappear from my shelves.

I'm impressed by how people can moan about WotC not being open and letting people know what is (or isn't) coming, and then when they do, people accuse them of lying. They might as well take their time. It is pretty much guaranteed, that when the conversion guide is released, the same people...

Does it matter? It is probably to fit the needed area on one page. The LMoP map for example had 5-mile hexes.

While I don't have a problem with good-aligned patrons, I do think it fits best with those of a chaotic persuasion (either good, neutral, or evil) and only those who aren't powerful enough to grant powers to clerics.

I was just making a mediocre joke and didn't mean any offence. Actually it can be a bit of a problem, that it is implied that the warlock character got his powers by making a deal, while others did a lot of studying for what mechanically is equal power levels. As a DM I have a tendency to want...

That's what I am going to do, except I will let humans get the same bonus (we are not using the variant). I have made a few other modifications to humans to balance it out.

I have absolutely no basis for saying whether the game is better or worse with fewer supplements. I can just say that I am happy with what they have released so far and if nothing more is ever released for 5e, I can live with that. If on the other hand they release more stuff in the future (as...

I wish you and others that feel the same way good luck finding something that fits your needs better. For me and my group none of these five points are a problem, so we are good with 5e.

Just like in real life, when some have to work hard for something, while others get to exactly the same place by cheating and being lazy. That would actually be an interesting character to play. a lazy bastard who makes fun of the wizard every time he starts telling about how difficult it was to...

I'm currently working on races for my homebrew campaign and have decided, that the players gets a +1 and a +2 that they can place on stats of their choice, regardless of their race (we use standard array). I want them to play a dwarf because they want to play a dwarf, not because a dwarf gets...

I would guess that the new #1 has something to do with Valentine's coming up :-)

Ah, yes I would imagine that. As far as I am concerned I also prefer it to move forward, although I am fine with Salvatore and Greenwood making most of the Spellplague seem like it never happened. I don't like retcons, but on the other hand I want Mystra and Lathander around, so whatever...

As far as I have read, Salvatore was actually not very happy with what they did with the Realms for 4e, so I am not sure it is fair to blame him for the Spellplague.
