    D&D 5E (2014) Christmas Tree Enemies

    Give the NPCs the magical items you think they should have. They don't have to be more powerful than the PCs' magical items. They don't have to useful to the PCs. If you pit another adventuring party against them with similar experience then they should have a similar amount of magical...

    Goodman Games Kickstarts Two New 5E Adventures

    As fast as this Kickstarter made it's goal, one would think that there is definitely a market for smaller adventures. People seem to want more 5e products.

    Mike Mearls: Random Tables

    Seems to me he spent more time on this article than whoever did making the magic item random table. It's a mess for a GM who wants a random sword or a wonderous item.

    D&D 5E (2014) Evasive Footwork???

    Yes because you didn't stop moving until your move action was complete. That's how I would rule that. Your GM might rule it different.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many attacks should a two weapon fighter get?

    It's because there are other builds that will have better AC or better damage output. I don't agree that it's suboptimal. Just different.

    D&D 5E (2014) How many attacks should a two weapon fighter get?

    Action surge grants another Action. So he gets Action, action, and bonus action when he uses his Action Surge. Three attacks. At 5th level he will have 5 attacks instead of 4 when he uses an Action Surge

    History of the Elemental Planes

    So far the best of these articles yet.

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Creating Monster Disparity

    I don't really have an answer for you. I wouldn't hold your breath on waiting for WotC to explain (or fix) things as well. I guess I would say give them hit points that you think the creature needs up to 85. That definitely would be a be a challenge for a bunch of PCs that do 1d8+3 damage a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Battle master combat maneuvers

    Nah, I probably just remembered having Evasive Footwork but I don't have it. Would explain why I never tried using it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Lost Mines of Phandelver: Straight to Cragmaw Castle?

    My GM pointed out that where the castle is on the map, just cutting across the woods has a chance for the PCs to find it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Variable XP values for monsters CR 21+

    Maybe the books released last year are just high quality beta books and the errata'd version will be out next year.

    Hasbro CEO: "D&D is Really on a Tear"

    Maybe they can afford to hire some people who will actually give us more quality products to buy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Any Eldritch Knights here use a familiar?

    I'm a wizard who is going to multiclass into eldritch knight. He has a hawk familiar. It is a useful tool for scouting but I don't like using it in combat . One hit and the familiar dies. Then you have to find a wagon load of charcoal (I exaggerate but it's 15 gp worth of material including...

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes vs Tyranny

    Yeah, my players killed the dragon and Rezmir before they met the Cloud giant and because they found out the giants weren't really into serving Tiamat, they made a deal with him, take out the last remaining cultist (the vampire) and he will turn the castle around and not feed them to ogres. It...

    D&D 5E (2014) Battle master combat maneuvers

    Because my AC is pretty high, I don't use Parry that often. I do use Riposte a lot especially when I'm fighting multiple foes. That way I have an extra attack every round. Taking a hit or two isn't bad when I can do Second Wind. My dual wielder (Level 4) has Riposte, Parry, Feinting Attack...

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    Just because they are updating the realms a little bit at a time doesn't change that fact that it would be a great pain for a GM to find any specific thing when it's scattered over 4 books. It will get much worse as more of these adventure paths are put out. Plus there are going to be a lot of...

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    Good for them. Bad for me. And in my opinion bad for the hobby. Perhaps they should hire a few more people and do both.

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    To tell you the truth, I want both. I would even buy a new forgotten realms setting. I use that stuff for inspiration in my own games. I don't even mind the adventure paths but don't want them to be the only thing available. The more I think about it, I wonder if they are waiting for a...

    [UPDATE] 3D-Printing The Monster Manual

    I guess you have to have talent in making 3d models to do this sort of thing.

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    I'll expand on that question a little more. There was a general consensus that the game needs storylines?
