    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Hoard of the Dragon Queen" (Practical stuff to try at your table!)

    That last part is very important for chapter 6. If you try to run that entire castle as is, you will drive yourself nuts.

    And then there were 8! On Chris Sims and Jennifer Clarke Wilkes' Layoffs...

    He's still mad he can't replace the rest of the party entirely.

    Warforged, Kender, Multiverses, & Errata - An Eclectic News Summary!

    Indeed! If I wanted to fight thru almost 2000 Feats, I'd play Pathfinder. There is a reason my #1 game is Savage Worlds, rules light, and this edition of D&D feels the most like that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighting Style - Archery

    And that's why I quit public play of D&D and Magic.

    D&D 5E (2014) I have the DMG!

    If you allow flanking to grant advantage, you better require a Disengage to move around in threatened squares, or it goes from a combat to a square dance for flanking advantage. It also makes the traits of Kobolds and Hobgoblins kinda redundant. If that's the way it works, I'd keep the Help...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    I personally love the basic human - while we've seen a lot of good debate on the _numbers_ side of it, we are not seeing as much on the _story_ side of it. Human's are one of the few races (the other one being half-elf) that gets to pick a language. Elves and Dwarves all hate Orcs, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Where are the PDFs?

    I hope so as well, but that will depend on what Hasbro will let them do. Hasbro is probably letting them post PDFs of older editions because it is out of print, it's income on non-production lines. 5e is still a production line, and Hasbro will want WotC to maximize profits. Hopefully the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Where are the PDFs?

    Yes, and I still don't see the 5e PHB, or the Basic Rules with a PoD option. Kinda my point.

    D&D 5E (2014) Where are the PDFs?

    We're not getting PDFs because Hasbro. Hasbro is a huge company that still has 90% of it's products in toys and games that are not entirely book based. It's because the average players of Hasbro games (Monopoly, Mouse Trap, Clue, etc) and toys (Nerf, Transformers, etc) can not scan and upload...

    D&D 5E (2014) Weapon oddities

    Also, all things being equal, some weapons ARE better. Just a fact. Bringing a dagger to a fight with a man in full plate with a shield and longsword, unless you are just that much better you are going to be at a disadvantage, and probably dead.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are we back to Feat taxes?

    When did feat taxes ever leave?

    D&D 5E (2014) D&DNext - Frankenstein or Butterfly?

    Honestly, for me a big part is less the rules (I'm used to learning new ones every edition) and more the presentation. The three books sacred cow needs to die. If 5th is not a one book game, I'll be passing in favor of all the stuff I already own. I will still be sad because D&D was the first...

    New D&D movie on SyFy tonight - Book of Vile Darkness

    {Reposted from other thread} I saw this movie last night on SyFy. It was glorious in how terrible it was. First off, during the knighting ceremony (err, Paladin... Knight is a fighter, no gods required) you could see the looks of the guys faces every tiime they called out to Pelor. It was the...

    Why is realism "lame"?

    Been a while since I've been here. Like the new layout. Now, about the realism, I like varying levels depending on what I am doing. Hard sci-fi? The really brutal combat of Eclipse Phase is awesome, and the granularity of skills. Pulp action? Savage Worlds is perfect. Heck, even in...

    The WW Schedule for Aug 2012 – Aug 2013

    The only thing that will get me to shell out money for EX3 is if it gets rid of ticks and speed. Put Exalted into the nWoD style rules. Those play fast, easy, and I love them.

    The D&D Next Playtest Begins...

    Constructively, if they wanted to remind us old, original D&D players of the Rules Cyclopedia, they did a good job. The monsters and the layout of the character sheets, as well as the content and writing, remind me of the Rules Cyclopedia a lot. I still miss that book. Why did I ever trade it...

    Can you write code/modifications for vBulletin?

    I know MySQL, Visual Basic and ABAP/4. While I could LEARN it fast, you'd be better finding someone that already knows it and has experience. If that person does not materialize, however, let me know.
