Yankee Candle has been branching into this space a bit with their so-called "mandles." Scents like old leather, bacon... my personal favorite is "2x4." That's it, that's the name. Just "2x4." Classic. Unfortunately, as you might expect, they all smell unspeakably terrible. But if there...

R-R-R-RETCON! ::cheers:: Stands to reason that the next UA article is going to be Dragonlance -- it's been stated explicitly that they owe us kender from the DMG cutting room floor. But in terms of adventure support? Yeah, it's going to be a while. Hands down the best part of Dark Sun...

A number of people have suggested this to me, and I think this is a good strategy. The only reason I'm not using it is personal desire. I have the same opinions, more or less, but I think it would be more accurate to say that Knights of Solamnia aren't not going to be Lawful Good and Knights...

I don't have a bone to pick with 13th Age -- I own it, it looks like fun, and I expect to use it someday -- but I openly do not care for all aspects of its design. Large tracts of it consist of the designers telling the dungeon master, "Do whatever feels right," or worse, "Do whatever feels...

Monkeyfun Studios' Spirit of '77 Sean K. Reynolds' Five Moons RPG D&D5 is probably disqualified, huh? Because it launched in 2014? It's just that I feel like the firework has been lit but we're still waiting for it to go off. Don't get me wrong, core D&D5 is great -- amazing, even -- but I...

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. :)

I feel like this would defeat the purpose of D&D5's interpretive design. God forbid a player ever got a hold of it.

Ah. I ran it in Boot Camp.

I think I tend to use being human as a pressure valve on weirdness. "This woman is weird because X, Y, and Z, but it's okay because she's human." I don't like excessive weirdness -- I hate tieflings as a default race and the fact that I really love dragonborn mystifies me. There are also some...

After 25 years in the trenches I finally have an appreciative group of players and I frankly don't know what to do with myself. :|

The /rules/ are all there; there's no difference between how the basic game and the standard game play. But you're right that the basic game is limited to four races, four classes, a handful of backgrounds, and no feats. I remember this going the other way -- the original character builder...

Then to you, Lady Grantham, I say good day! You let your players touch things? You don't know where they've been! I will agree with you on this. Binders and paper for work are always bad news. It's like harnessing a kitten to a tiny oxcart and making it work for food. Really? Three...

I have to be honest, this product is not on my list. If it's not set on the Sword Coast, and if the inevitable Toril-shattering climax doesn't take us to Thay, it has a chance. But I won't ever run the adventure (just speaking from experience here, not out of any judgement upon Sasquatch's...

Your theory is sound, but I would implement it differently. Don't just let a PC drop two points from their attributes after rolling. You need to modify the method in which such a character generates their ability scores. Either drop the two highest numbers in the standard array by one or...

I have done this. I think it's as simple as explaining that subclass Y does not have ability Z from its parent class, or that ability Z is modified in X fashion. If you can, I do recommend couching the modification in terms of an ability from another class, or at least using the same sort of...

Yes! YES! It is happening! YES! I will admit some disappointment that the text is not more attractive or better formatted, but I do not miss the images. This will be so much more neat and uniform when I print it in cost-effective black and white and put it in a binder. Yesss... bindersss....

I voted 'definitely would buy,' but I should be clear that I don't think this is possible. I'd love for Castle Zagyg to be completed, but Castle Zagyg isn't Castle Greyhawk. Castle Greyhawk has been done in D&D. Twice. Three times, if you count the actual eponymous joke adventure. And I'm...

I like the existing proposal. About three hardback adventure paths a year, set in the most logical official setting, with frequent digital enhancements. In ten years, a complete D&D5 collection looks like the PHB, MM, and DMG; 30 thick hardbacks, containing both adventures and new setting...

I'm going to throw in with the folks who are implying, if not outright saying, that we are sure Kobold could do FR justice, but why bother? It's been done more than four times in 30 years. The D&D3.5 version is on dndclassics.com. By all means let there be new FR material, but why pay for the...
