So, back to the actual product. The preorder digital version went live, today, didn’t it? Does anyone have it? Any initial thoughts? Does the original adventures have a strong tie to the new stuff? If we replaced some of the Lost Mines adventures with new or reskinned bits set around...

Thanks, that’s what I suspected. Since as you say, the early access digital preorders don’t even go out yet. Just got excited for a moment…

Are these review copies being sent out? Or are the actually showing up on shelves? Isn’t this a few weeks early?

Fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing!

@mamba is right. No investigator is going to look a gift horse in the mouth. They’ll be happy it’s a slam dunk. And like I said, it would never get past the first crime. They’ll find the gloves, go to the obvious suspect, and when she doesn’t have an alibi, arrest her. When the crimes stop...

I can’t imagine any law enforcement/justice system refraining from arresting someone because there was too much evidence. And it would never get to the point where there was a large amount of crimes with that much evidence. As soon as the first crime or two with sufficient evidence happened...

And besides, having the players come up with insane, completely off-the-wall solutions to problems they don’t have the tools to solve normally is one of the best parts of the game (for the DM and the players). In my humble opinion, of course.

If they're not must-haves, and only will make the players lives easier (if they use them correctly), then I wouldn't say anything. That's the player's job to choose their spells, and figure out the way to put them to the best use. If they do a good job, they avoid a tougher fight. If not, so...

I have absolutely no problem suggesting languages, as long as it’s a suggestion. Something along the lines of “Hey, it would be really useful if at least one person speaks Giant for this campaign”. I’d be a lot more wary of spells. It’s not your job to ensure they make optimal choices. It...

Those are abilities I could actually get behind.

Echoing the positive here. Looking forward to it. And I’m glad it looks like we’re dealing with the repercussions of her promise to stop the Kree Empire at the end of CM.

That’s certainly a valid opinion, but it doesn’t remove the benefit of replying to the survey constructively. Assuming, of course, there are at least some things they like. Consider: 1) they respond constructively, praising the parts they like, tearing down the ones they don’t. Chances are...

This absolutely would solve all the issues I have with Short Rests. If it doesn’t become standard, I think I’ll adopt it as a personal house rule next time it’s my turn in the DM’s chair.

Just ask. Talk to the DM (and maybe the group) outside of the game and just say “Look, is my using the helm all the time becoming an issue?”

Trust me when I say there are way more massive changes between AD&D and later editions than that...

Sorry, my copy is buried under a mountain of stuff, so I can’t check. I highly doubt it’s a printing error though. I’m not sure why you would doubt it. If that’s what it says, I’m sure it’s right. You can’t judge based on other editions.

Each edition changes the rules around (some quite dramatically). If that is what your copy of the rules say, I’m sure it is accurate for that edition.

Sure. Why not? All that is plausible.

To be honest, I’m having a really hard time parsing your posts. If I’m understanding, you want to know what are the odds someone hires a thief to steal the books? If so, I really don’t understand the question. It’s as likely to happen as the DM wants it to. Is there a high level mage who...

I never thought about PC to PC. But I can’t remember the last time a PC tried to use a skill on another player. In general, they do just talk to each other in character, but that sort of thing never requires a roll of any kind. I suppose some groups go more into the pvp aspect than we do.
