They come from the same source in my game, though do different things. The source for Arcane power is from mastery of the arcane magical weave around the world. The source for Divine power comes from the gods and them granting it to you. And the source for ki and psionic power comes from...

I've found that the beginning part of the Basic Boxed Set (The Mines of Phandelver) works perfectly for that. Folks can get through the first section with the goblin cave in a single setting. If they are interested in continuing to play, they can keep going with that adventure, and usually they...

Is that his high school yearbook picture? ;)

I don't think the OP was saying they should do this instead of releasing new content. I think he was saying they should do this in addition to releasing new content. The work required to do it should be considerably less than creating something entirely new.

I've seen someone put a second layer on top of the map that is just white haze that obscures the map. Whenever the adventurers go into a new area, you can just erase the haze from the top layer, reveling that part of the map underneath. It seemed like a simple and smart solution.

I think I'd still go with a home theater projector mounted above the table.

At least there's Leap Day. Once every four years you can take a vacation.

There is still a void of content for levels 15-20. Also, in order to use those APs for higher levels, you have to have begun in them at 1st level and played until the end. Also, while there are some non-AP options for lower levels, there are none for mid to high levels. There always seems to...

I think part of the problem is not enough high-level content. It's a negative feedback loop. My group is at 13th level now. Part of the reason why we are starting other campaigns at 1st level is because of the lack of content for anything above 15th level. So they don't produce high level...

I'm really excited for this one. I like the idea of the Underdark getting infiltrated with demons and making it an Alice in Wonderland-esque world. I also fully expect Drizzt's presence in the AP to be minimal. For those who don't like the idea of this AP, to each their own. I think it sounds...

A neutral character might spot a drowning man and watch what happens. An evil character might find a pole and push him under. ;)

50 gold, I believe. Market price for resell is generally half the price of an item's normal market cost, and the cost of a spellbook is 100 gp. Now, if you are ruling that the book still has spells in it that are useful for other wizards, maybe the price would go up. I guess that's up to the...

This is how I do it: If the rogue in my party was hiding already, let's say behind a tree in the forest, and pops out to make a sneak attack ranged arrow attack, then she can try to pop back behind the tree right afterward to essentially remain hidden. So that, the enemy knows an arrow came at...

So I had checked his website there before, but it looks like those are the DM maps, with secret locations marked on them. Am I wrong?

I'm looking for where Schley sells or offers downloads of the player version (non-DM) of the maps for the campaign. Does anyone know?

Yeah actually I'm not so sure anymore if he was defending or criticizing WOTC. Maybe I'm just tired and not reading things correctly. :P

I think you misunderstood him. If anything he was defending WOTC.

Nice list.

I don't know if I would call it micro-managing rather than just managing their product release. I would have thought Schley would have checked with WOTC before putting the maps up online. Presumably he didn't do that, or there was some miscommunication. I don't mean that negatively toward...

I agree with this.
