    D&D 5E (2014) Chases, what has worked and what has not?

    I was skeptical about how the chase would work as per the DMG rules, but I ran one the other week with my group, and it worked beautifully. Just read the rules closely and run it as is and see if it goes as well for you as it did for me. About your concerns: Cunning action: Monks also have...

    Here's what the D&D Adventurer's League is doing for the Elemental Evil storyline!

    Well all I can say is I hope they put these products out for sale to the public. I would give them my money, but I have a good home game and will always play at home, and have no interest in playing in a store or in an open-to-the-public setting, so they are losing out on my monies. It also...

    Here's what the D&D Adventurer's League is doing for the Elemental Evil storyline!

    Didn't they release PDFs for sale eventually in their previous in-store program? I purchased the Scourge of the Sword Coast and Dead in Thay adventures in PDF format. I don't see why they wouldn't do the same thing for the AL adventures, after it has been run in the stores. It seems like it is...

    D&D 5E (2014) A new alignment: Leutral

    Perhaps the entry is all just an elaborate trick to troll me :P Like saying, "Hey we know we put "leutral" instead of "neutral," but live and let live buddy!"

    D&D 5E (2014) A new alignment: Leutral

    First of all let me say that I love where D&D is going with 5th edition, and I love the hard work put in to the system. But can someone at WOTC do a little better job of proofreading the materials before they go out to press? I don't mean that to sound too harsh. I've noticed several...

    I do layout work for a living. Problem is, I am familiar with 5e, but not so much with Pathfinder, and I noticed your layout and design spots would require both. Been meaning to play some Pathfinder and get familiar with it (and 3.5 by proxy), just haven't gotten around to it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Copper piece value in U.S. dollars?

    Right. That's why I didn't think an inn stay would be the best frame of reference. But there must be some commodity that would be a good comparison in terms of value. I think. And I'm not necessarily arguing for intrinsic value, but a commodity that would share subjective value compared with the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Copper piece value in U.S. dollars?

    Thanks for the reply, but I didn't mean what actual copper is worth in the real world in U.S. dollars. I meant, what the buying power of a copper piece in D&D 5th edition would translate to in real U.S. dollars. So for example, if it takes 5 copper pieces for an average stay at an inn (not sure...

    D&D 5E (2014) Copper piece value in U.S. dollars?

    What would a copper piece in 5th edition be valued at in current U.S. dollars?

    D&D 5E (2014) Does a successful opportunity attack halt movement?

    OK, thanks for the clarification, both of you.

    D&D 5E (2014) Does a successful opportunity attack halt movement?

    Thanks. That has always been my take, too. So what is the rule trying to communicate when it says movement is interrupted, or however it puts it?

    D&D 5E (2014) Does a successful opportunity attack halt movement?

    So the rule says something to the effect (it's not in front of me at the moment) that an opportunity attack interrupts movement right before the attack is made. Would a character that was struck by an OA be able to continue moving away even after being hit, or is it stuck in its spot once hit...

    15 Best D&D Modules Of All Time

    As I posted above, Madness at Gardmore Abbey is a great adventure, and is 4th ed. The only one I know of that is really, really good from 4th ed.

    15 Best D&D Modules Of All Time

    Madness at Gardmore Abbey is a fantastic adventure, and in my mind deserves to be in any list of Top 10. But it seems few people are familiar with it and its genius.

    Ah OK. Very interesting. Well I learn things every day.

    D&D 5E (2014) Prediction: No OGL until at least May if not later

    I have no idea how their contracts are drawn up, either. I do know, though, that when an author and a book publisher make a contract, they typically draw it up so that if the author earns out their advance due to sufficient sales, any sales above that amount they get royalties on. So for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Prediction: No OGL until at least May if not later

    Let me clarify here too. I'm not saying anything about WOTC's bottom line. I'm talking about the bottom line of Kobold Press and Sasquatch Studios. WOTC doesn't want to hurt those studios' bottom line by having them produce APs and then turn around right away and release the OGL. They might have...

    D&D 5E (2014) Prediction: No OGL until at least May if not later

    I wasn't saying so much that third-party products are a threat to WOTC's revenue. I was saying that WOTC wants to protect the third party companies it has contracted out merchandise to. It might even be written into contracts that WOTC won't release an OGL until after these products (like the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Prediction: No OGL until at least May if not later

    Well It may be my ignorance, but I was presuming that the spells would be part of the OGL, and therefore someone or a company could produce competing spell cards (perhaps on poker cardplaying plastic material that would be more durable than the laminated cardstock on the current spell cards)...
