    Do you remove your shoes in home?

    My home is shoes on. I'm the most able bodied person in the house & I don't clean floors except for hazardous spills. What really annoys me is when invited to someone's house and nothing is mentioned it's a shoes off kind of house until I've arrived.

    GOOSEBUMPS - Official Trailer

    Might be watchable, the effects on the Abominable Snowman looked acceptable. Sadly a story element reliant on the kid's age falls flat with the Dawson casting. Could have made a joke about the economy, but no, have they guy with the 2 pack a day voice claim he's not 18. EDIT: I know it's...

    Baldur's Gate Enhanced Gets Bigger

    So how enhanced is this "enhanced edition"? Will a typical 9 year old machine have no trouble with it? or would my dinosaur be healthier sticking with the classic version off of Good Old Games?

    D&D 5E (2014) How are you all finding the encounter building rules working out at higher levels?

    I'd recommend building an undead head based on the MM archmage / upgraded Flameskull. Demilich is meant to be a fight for higher end characters.

    Why is the first adventure always the hardest to get 'right'?

    At level one; It is important to have Negotiate or Die encounters. Players must learn not all foes are bested by bloodshed. Have encounters were the foes strike to subdue, whether because the foes are authority figures, have compunctions against killing or are Slavers. If PCs strike to kill...

    Bones 3 Kickstarter is live!

    I'm disappoint they overloaded the initial pledge with lizardmen and the bugs, there were lots of other models they could have used for more variety. And of course they are holding out on us, hiding the 5 headed dragon, probably until the campaign is nearly over. Granted, I am backing this...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters for a Second Monster Book

    I want the monster book to look more like the Dungeons & Dragons & Diablo monster entries. Each monster with 3 to 6 stages of power.

    D&D 5E (2014) Holy crap, I had to share this find...

    I found a enormous bag made for two laptops at a thrift shop, wonderful thing. I use it for my 4E hackmaster set. It manages to fit 2 PHBs, the DMG, the Hacklopedia set, Gawds and DemiGawds and even the Little Keep on the Boarderlands.

    Unearthed Arcana Psionics Hits Unearthed Arcana

    Agree, horrible idea, if it is supposed to bypass armor, make it a save.

    D&D 5E (2014) (Poll) Combat Difficulty

    Did the players make any efforts to turn the foes against one another? One of the best things about using numerous and mixed amounts of lesser foes is it encourages players to try and mitigate their foe's numeric advantage rather than just kill everything.

    D&D 5E (2014) (Poll) Combat Difficulty

    The issue here is the DMG multipliers are only useful in enormous white room situations where all the foes are on the PCs from round one. In any situation where PC have any control over how many foes can attack them, the Encounter multiplier numbers become inaccurate, vastly so when portions of...

    D&D 5E (2014) (Poll) Combat Difficulty

    One issue is in 5E, due to their special abilities and damage output, the orcs and hobgoblins are closer to the 2 to 3 HD captains that generally accompanied a dozen or so 1HD troop of their respective races in 1E / Basic. For the style of fight like the older editions... 20+ goblins (...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Schley's Giants maps with the original module

    What should also be noted is while the 5E giants are Huge, the 15' combat space is more of a suggestion. Even the official prepainted minis of giants are on 2" bases right out of the package and the DMG even denotes it's alright if a creature's base isn't the same sizes as called for in the MM.

    D&D 5E (2014) Player character level -> challenge rating cheat sheet?

    Not really, the way a PC's CR would be computed would be as any other monster via HP, AC, maximum damage potential and the few other mitigating factors, measured over the course of 3 rounds.

    Beefing up mounted combat for 5e

    Default trained combatant, like a guard or soldier, only has around 11 HP, the warhorse's 2d6+4 and trample follow up with 2d4+4 more is plenty lethal.

    So are the mods actually going to come down on this? It seems posts that fit that criteria are still extant upthread.
