    D&D 5E (2014) Anybody know of a site where I can download free pawns?

    Google Tokentool. Print. Cut. Done. They will be flat, but completely serviceable for any map, and better than dice/beads/shot glasses... ok well at least better than dice or beads.

    Trials of Lorlamir

    Hey dudes, I threw this together as some backstory for a neat little puzzle dungeon I am putting together. Tons of traps, riddles, puzzles, and statues that come to life os players progress finding clues for the main puzzle of the dungeon, a reflavored version of Einstein's 5 houses puzzle...

    D&D 5E (2014) Explain to a guy who's never played spellcasters the difference between wizards and sorcerers

    I think it is important to point out how their differences evolved. Specifically from 3rd to 5th (sorry 4e couldn't hold my attention to even warrant a second game session). In 3rd edition IIRC, the high damaging cantrip was not really a thing. Which caused Wizards to be painful to play at...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you find Fantasy Grounds just too much of an investment?

    Yes. I feel like I would be paying for the material twice, with FG being more expensive than what I spent on Amazon.

    D&D 5E (2014) The story got out of hand need advice

    I don't have any more advice to add... but I promise you're not the only one who has ever done this. HAHAHAHAHA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teHtEpCk64Y

    D&D 5E (2014) Explain to a guy who's never played spellcasters the difference between wizards and sorcerers

    HARRY POTTER ANALOGY TIME! Hermione Granger - Wizard Harry Potter - More closely resembled a Sorcerer Hermione always knew spells before Harry. She was studied and diversified. She always was prepared in a way that sort of wowed Harry and Ron, like the Invisibility Bubble to hide them in the...

    D&D Does Digital Part III: PDFs

    Totally in your boat, though I prefer to collect the physical material. I have yet to DM a 5e game (finishing up my PF in 2 weeks), yet I have all of the released material hahaha. As a business professional in B2B Sales its always that I don't have enough time. Thank goodness for Roll20. Without...

    D&D 5E (2014) Interaction guide for new players?

    Everything said above is great. I am assuming that, like me and my group when we started out years ago, you haven't found a good balance to the RP portions of the game. We as a group started getting better when we went separate ways in real life and started playing in other groups (now we can...

    @freeAgent - I think you are in the minority (nothing wrong with that at all) where you both refuse steadfastly to purchase physical books and do not seek... alternatives. It would be interesting to know how many people fall in that line. BTW, I applaud your stance of speaking with your wallet...

    Koloth Good question. I obviously do not have the answer, but as much as I would hope that they would make more money by offering PDFs (thus encouraging them to do so) I don't believe there is any doubt that 5e is a smashing success. I just hope that because they have tasted success that they...

    Kickstarter Less than 24 hours for the Tome of Beasts 5e Kickstarter!

    I'm stunned with how big this has gotten. They asked for $20k, and are currently closing in on $170k... Crazy!

    Ancient Dwarven Town overrun by orcs centuries ago

    Big giant terrifying bugs. Like that scene from Peter Jackson's King Kong. That centipede eating that dude's head is still one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen.

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM: Lost Mines question and Passive Perception?

    This kind of comes off as cheap to me. IDK, it just seems like this is not only not rewarding players for their character design, but is also kind of cheating them out of it in the first place. But I agree PP is frustrating as a DM who is working hard to give his players a memorable experience.

    D&D Does Digital Part III: PDFs

    I would like to, politely, point out that I did in fact use Comixology as an example in one of my posts. I think a lot of people are initially objected to the idea of an app because they are making assumptions of poor implementation. Again, I would prefer a PDF first and foremost; my suggestion...

    D&D 5E (2014) Over 50% of FGG Borderland Provinces kickstarter backers choosing 5e, maybe...

    I apologize for any misunderstanding. The way it read to me was that you were excited Pathfinder only had 15% as opposed to the elation I assumed on your part when you stated 56% have voted for 5e. I have heard a lot of system bashing on the web as of late and perhaps I was too eager to vent...

    Echohawk so you wouldn't buy it because of a personal OCD, not because the product was a failure by design? (something I might agree with you on, as things like that bother me too) Nagol if your option was pirated, self scanned, amazon kindle or no digital format you are saying you would choose...

    D&D Does Digital Part III: PDFs

    I imagine if you thought otherwise it would make a difference lol. I am speaking more to the business point of view, rather than from my personal preference. Now you did bring up the last piece of the puzzle, but I don't feel as though making product available through an app will have a major...

    I pose a question to those who are hesitant to have a DRM app: If you could purchase the books through the Amazon Kindle app, would you? If not, why? For the record I would. I have even checked to see if they are available in "Kindle Editions".

    D&D Does Digital Part III: PDFs

    Maybe I should clarify a point: I am personally in support of releasing PDFs first and foremost. I suggest an app as a compromise. We all want PDFs, but the game is coming up on a year and the only PDFs we have available are either ones that someone else has scanned and have been pirated, or...
