    D&D 5E (2014) With the reintroduction of PrCs which are on your 'must see' list?

    I don't really look forward to any. A lot of the old PrCs would have fit better if just rolled into the base classes. I don't see why they can't go with that option for 5E.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    NASA has performed experiments which suggests that humans actually can survive reentry with the proper equipment. So, this one isn't necessarily true :P

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    The number of Americans I've met who speak only English and still manage to not be fluent in it suggests that you are wrong on this. Unfortunately, morality often doesn't work that way. Often, if it's not a physical cause beyond your control, it's your choice. And that can include some mental...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    Actually, being fluent only in English often is a choice. Most English-speaking nations also have classes in other languages, and education opportunities that allow a person to achieve fluency in those languages. Some even mandate some base education in another language. Plus, that can be...

    VIN DIESEL Just Played D&D

    I've followed his movie career, and known he was a DnD player for a few years because of it. He's talked about playing DnD before when talking about other movies. If you ever spot him with tattoos in a movie, take a close look at them; at least one will be DnD-inspired.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    To answer the OP: In my experience, no. What it does is attract different players already within the gaming world from what I've seen, but not new players. The reason I've gotten from prospective new players? The art. Which is the same exact reason I got for 3E. The reason from what I've seen...

    Here's The First Chapter of O.L.D.!

    I can't wait to see the ultimate outcome of this. These books are permanently on my shopping list.

    What's The Deal With D&D Translations?

    This is exactly what I'm thinking. Which makes the utter lack of electronic releases even more questionable.

    I should not have reacted as I have. You have my apologies for that. I was just coming here to apologize no matter if you replied. You do not deserve to be an unwitting target of my stress, and someone very dear pointed out how snappish I've been lately.

    Favorite Name For People With Super Powers?

    "Test subjects." It makes my players squirm.

    ask a physicist

    And what you are stating is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike what I have said. You would be a fine heir to the drink making machine on the Heart of Gold. If you don't like them being conflated, then stop conflating them. You were the one who first thought to conflate my question about a...

    ask a physicist

    What I am talking about is not a singular set of rules, but multiple sets of rules and the universe existing as an interaction between those sets of rules. As an example, take quantum mechanics and general relativity. Now, let's say those cannot be combined into a singular set of laws of...

    And now it's either going to miss entirely or do its best MC Hammer impression up and down the East Coast.

    ask a physicist

    Conceptually, if you know both an object's velocity and direction of travel, you can derive its location at all times. But it's not actually true of all particles. Just because it doesn't make any logical sense to us as we understand physics now does not preclude its capacity for existence. It...

    Here's That SCAG Table of Contents!

    This makes me nervous. We may still be waiting for a true Forgotten Realms update for a long time to come.

    ask a physicist

    The idea that there's not one set of laws of physics, but multiple sets and that it is the interaction between them which causes the universe to exist. Kinda... Not a unified field, but multiple fields that don't necessarily get along.

    ask a physicist

    Please excuse the double post. Here's where it gets complicated: We don't know how big the universe is simply because it's beyond our capacity to observe, but we know of around 91 billion light years. Using the standard theory that the universe is speeding up as it expands, started at the...
