    D&D 5E (2014) Green Ronin's Book of Fiends for 5E

    If they did a Drive Thru POD option for Europe I would do it, otherwise I will wait for retail.

    How often do you play a differently-gendered character when gaming?

    80% my own gender. 20% opposite. 1 non-binary so far.

    D&D 5E (2014) Green Ronin's Book of Fiends for 5E

    I like GR books but will this contradict the core FR devils and hell's or complement them?

    Upcoming Age of Sigmar: Soulbound Releases

    Official-ness is important to some. They may also be distancing themselves from Tolkien or Blizzard IP. I doubt this would stand up for long in the court case that isn't coming.

    Upcoming Age of Sigmar: Soulbound Releases

    Thanks. Told me a lot. Seems very much a wargame campaign support structure, and there is nothing wrong with that at all. It missed a human scale for me, but maybe that's since the video was such a top level overview. I'd happily play, but it's not a setting I would feel attracted to without...

    D&Detox

    Narrating what NPCs are doing with the system is IMHO one of the best ways to learn a system. Certainly more fun than reading a rule book... And I have read hundreds..

    D&D 5E (2014) Why so few magic polearms in the DMG?

    I think that the lack of magic items in 5e is quite deliberate. 5e isn't meant to be an item led game. Easy to add them, but it isn't a mistake.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why so few magic polearms in the DMG?

    I think it's a great opportunity for 3PP to meet this wish. Kobold Press has a great imaginative collection here: Items Wondrous and Strange: https://koboldpress.com/kpstore/product/items-wondrous-strange-1-pdf-5th-edition/ Or Nerzugals tomes on DMs Guild...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why so few magic polearms in the DMG?

    Oh you are so young. EGG wrote pages and pages on polearms in the first DMG. Just view all magic items as interchangeable by type.

    D&D as humanocetric ... or not?

    I tend to agree, nearly all of them are humans with funny brows or pointy ears.. or short. Lots of fun tho'

    D&D as humanocetric ... or not?

    Plus: EGG came across as much a pompous ass (IMHO) when he wrote that as he does now. He spent so much trying to make others compliant and prevent bad wrong fun.

    D&D as humanocetric ... or not?

    Interesting to note that in our Curse of Strahd campaign, all characters are demi humans or full non humans. Seems to going well. I like playing non humans, although I realise that most are really alternative human archetypes. However I come from a strong T&T and Runequest background. I limit...

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I no longer WoTC's target audience?

    May I suggest you pick up your DMG and choose the gritty dark options? Choose your big doom, and run it? Or if that's too kitbashing then pick up WHFRP 4e or Shadow of the Demon Lord, which are exactly what you want. SotDL is closest to D&D if that helps.

    Witcher (Netflix)

    That is no bad way to introduce a world: bit by bit. The books are more grim than the TV so far. They are very based in the horror of the wars in Poland in WW2; and all the better for it. I think the series has made a great start. Don't worry too much about the setting, it'll grow out of the...
