    News Digest: Warhammer Adventures, Evil Hat Staff Changes, New GURPS Releases, and more

    Friendship-is-magic? Heresy! However I am looking forward to see how the writers in the new WH books manage not to kill everyone horribly. Maybe use the satiric style of Ciaphas Caine?

    What supplemental information do we need most right now?

    Yeah and making existing setting sourcebooks more interesting *shakes fist at scag*

    Can someone point me to this in the PHB?

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Advancement versus Pathfinder

    After years of playing pathfinder we recently changed to 5e because the classes are more balanced. I started to poke my mates to do this after someone created a character who was able to do 49 damage on level 2 (or 3). So definitely 5e maybe with the official pathfinder (Inner sea?) setting...

    Dawn War + Cthulhu Mythos

    For two seconds I literally thought you've written Dawn of War, Eldar and the Cthulhu Mythos and I was genuinely interested in how someone incorporates warhammer 40k to D&D. I misread, this topic is also interesting so carry on. I will be monitoring this thread.

    Making Race Matter

    Usually dwarf strongholds would not let any other race enter than dwarves. The dwarf PC might have to convince the guards to let them in. Once inside the dwarves would be one attitude more negative to characters of other races. I often penalize PCs playing with rare or unknown races: If the PC...

    [FR] Noncombat encounters in Anauroch

    These are all really great ideas, thanks.

    Playing Tieflings

    A tail is fine in the summer but if you don't have fur on it, it will get quite cold. Especially if you have a hole in your trousers where it comes out. You should consider keeping it warm.

    [FR] Noncombat encounters in Anauroch

    I thought with 5e Anauroch is a desert again so the terraforming devices of the Shades have failed utterly. I was thinking something along the lines of dealing with Bedine or Zhentarim who are (have been?) inhabiting the region. Sandstorms and such could be but after a few it could get really old.

    [FR] Noncombat encounters in Anauroch

    Title says it all. Did anyone GM in Anauroch and if so did you set up any noncombat encounters there?

    "Immortal Fortress" - WotC Drops Clues About The Upcoming Storyline?

    "Listen, lad, I built this kingdom up from nothing. All I had when I started was swamp ... other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same ... just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So I built a another one ... that sank into the swamp. I built another...

    [FR] Adventure ideas for the Sword Coast and the North

    Good ideas so far. It would seem like instead of giving proper plot hooks, Wizards publishes adventures instead? I don't mind these but once you play through one it is not usable. On the other hand plot hooks can be reused or you can invent one after reading a few. My problem was that the scag...

    High AC and encounters

    Funny you say that. In one of my previous games the party was after a cult fanatic on a lake. Everyone was rowing. The fanatic stopped rowing for a round and cast command:"Swim!" on the cleric with heavy armor. She failed her saving throw and the party had to decide whether to help the drowning...

    Warlock Changing Patron

    Changing patrons seems like a great plot hook to start a new campaign. Would definitely use it. Rules/Sub-class wise nothing would have to change (unless the player wanted to).

    [FR] Adventure ideas for the Sword Coast and the North

    I'm glad nobody disagrees on the tastelessness of the Sword Coast. What are AL expeditions?

    Forgotten Realms - Would You Be Interested in an Adventure Set in Abeir?

    *GASP* Why WOULDN'T you be interested in a part of the world which is policed by high/epic level adventurers who deal with all plots in the region so the actual PCs will only be cleaning up the mess they are doing? :O

    [FR] Adventure ideas for the Sword Coast and the North

    After playing a lot of Pathfinder I came back to 5e and Forgotten realms only to find that the plot hooks for 5e FR are a bit lacking for me in the Sword Coast and the North. After reading the swag twice, the only adventure ideas I could decipher from the book are: The citaldels of the dwarves...
