    D&D 5E (2014) To feats or not to feats...

    I knew this was going to be fun the moment I saw this sentence. Making a statement, then throwing around phrases like "as most of you have noticed" doesn't make it any more true. Resorting to massive hyperbole like "completely out of balance" sets the stage for what better be a VERY compelling...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why does 5E SUCK?

    Not much to hate. I have quibbles with the vision rules, Halfling art, and the fact that it's apparently easier to heal a mortal wound than recover from exhaustion. The biggest one for me personally is the delay on the OGL and that has more to do with loving the system rather than hating it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Rise of Tiamat" (Practical stuff to try at your table!)

    PCs went through the first council session last night. I grabbed some portraits from online and captioned them with faction banners, names, and locations. In my game, I pop all of them up on a big screen TV and zoom in on the one that's currently speaking. Thought I would share. I don't think...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    I am right there with you on all points, KM. Those were my exact first impressions as well - I don't have a problem paying money for it, or even paying money to upgrade my DMing rig to accomodate it, but at that price point, the bulky clunky interface is far and away my biggest issue with FG...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    Yeah, I still have my old Macbook Pro, but I was planning to sell it to offset the ridiculous cost of my new setup, haha... ah well. Good thing I absolutely love D&D and have a job...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    Okay, I'll have to check this again. Last time I tried to run a second instance of it, I got a window or something saying it was already running and it wouldn't load. For the sake of specifics, I'm running the steam version on a mac in a wrapper or whatever. I'm guessing it may be a limitation...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    It's funny you bring this up. I totally see where you're coming from with the emo jab, but I'm not gonna lie, this was probably one of my favorite pieces of artwork in the module and has inspired at least two encounters in my campaign. Just goes to show how widely art preferences differ from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Elemental Evil Miniatures are Pretty Cool

    I'd forgotten about that—you're right. It's gotta be due to packaging limitations if I were to guess. I mean it's not a huge deal (get it? Oh man), I still like the way they look, but half the reason I get minis is to intimidate the PCs when I bring them out. The size needs to account for that...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    Yeah, that was what I first noticed when I bought and ran it on my laptop, and, as I mentioned, it prompted my decision to purchase a pair of super high-res 27" monitors. A new spin on DM screens, I suppose (heyo!). ;) And I'll second Banesfinger's request for elaborating on how to set up the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Elemental Evil Miniatures are Pretty Cool

    I will say that, once you know the hot water trick mentioned above, which is all but required to securely mount the new dragons to their bases, I am absolutely in love with their decision to have all of the dragons flying, rather than sitting on the ground like in previous sets. It really makes...
