    D&D Movie/TV An Analysis of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer

    All of that is much easier to build into a class feature, taking up at most a page of rules (a list of options and a "pick X of these" rule), rather than forcing players to comb through several monster manuals hoping to find what they're looking for. Also, you wouldn't have to be at the mercy of...

    D&D Movie/TV An Analysis of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer

    I don't really understand any part of that argument. "have to": Why does it have to do anything? "broad range of capability": What, like the current rule where you can turn into... uhh, slightly different-looking bags of hit points with boring attacks? ;)

    D&D Movie/TV An Analysis of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer

    So like most of the clunky stuff in 5e, it's because of highly vocal 3e grognards? Got it.

    D&D Movie/TV An Analysis of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer

    For an example of how to do it right, just look at 13th Age.

    D&D Movie/TV An Analysis of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Trailer

    It's what happens when WotC write an extremely clunky rule to begin with, instead of just giving us: "Here are the stats for wildshape at each level, reskin it however you want."

    Check Out The Official Free COWBOY BEPOP Playtest Document [Update: It’s Gone!] [Back Again!]

    Ouch! Why so aggressive? All I'm saying is that as an ordinary customer of DTRPG, who only interacts with them by browsing their store for stuff to buy, there was no way for me to know this stuff. Now, they might well think that I don't need to know, and they might be right. This might be...

    Check Out The Official Free COWBOY BEPOP Playtest Document [Update: It’s Gone!] [Back Again!]

    On some blog I've never seen before. ;) I've been told that publishers have been informed when they log in, but finding that information is pretty obscure for us ordinary customers.

    I can't even find it on a search. They must have pulled it for some reason.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Blade Runner, Creatures: Netherworld, Eye of Everywhere, and more

    Ridley Scott believes a lot of strange things. Like alien astronauts, or that Deckard was a replicant. :rolleyes:

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Blade Runner, Creatures: Netherworld, Eye of Everywhere, and more

    I think your Alien / Blade Runner mashup is going to be more diffcult than you think. Alien uses more-or-less the classic Year Zero engine, while Blade Runner has opted for the rather different version that was in Twilight:2000.

    D&D 5E (2014) What Are Your Favorite D&D Monsters (MM Edition)?

    Glad to see I'm not the only one wondering why empyreans are even in the book... Also happy that the darkmantle isn't getting any love. Stupid impostor, bring back the trapper and lurker above! ;)

    Who Shot Elminster? No, It's the DALLAS RPG!

    Because that's how SPI rolled.

    THE REAL THING Is An Official RPG Based On 80s Band Faith No More

    Yes, the Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union (and the Warsaw pact) broke up, and despite "winning the Cold War" the West entered a significant recession. To those of us entering the workforce then, who had been raised on the promise of an ever-expanding economy, it kinda felt like the world we...

    Gate Pass Gazette Gate Pass Gazette Issue #1 Is Here!

    It's not so much a question, as pointing out that the wording of the ability is ambiguous. Because "while you have a prophecy die" comes first in each description, that seems like it's the main factor governing the ability. A later phrase like "see invisible creatures and objects as per the see...

    Gate Pass Gazette Gate Pass Gazette Issue #1 Is Here!

    Because it says "while you have a prophecy die", the later.

    Gate Pass Gazette Gate Pass Gazette Issue #1 Is Here!

    I would assume so. Otherwise the mechanisms for increasing or decreasing die size don't make any sense.

    RPG Evolution: "Why is the Tarrasque on the Table?"

    I have an old shoe box by my side for miniatures I think I'm going to use in the current session. Minis too big for the box are always visible on shelves around my apartment anyway, so when needed I can just walk over and grab one of them...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse: An In-Depth Review

    This sentence is confusing. Is there a "not" missing somewhere in there?

    Roll20's Latest Usage Report: D&D Steady, Cthulhu Down!

    If ST is played correctly, you're not allowed to murder hobo. So I don't find it surprising at all. :rolleyes:
