    D&D 5E (2014) Published Adventures: Yea or Nay?

    If they go back to 1E style adventures, yes. If the stick with the hardcover/adventure path style, then a resounding NO! As for what I do with them, I use them (mostly) as is, mine them for ideas, and read them for my own pleasure.

    D&D 5E (2014) Kicked off my 5e campaign last night!

    Yeah, I love it when that sort of thing happens! We once depopulated a hamlet when the PCs got into a "I help them out by giving them all my CPs." "Well, I help them out by giving them all my SPs." sort of contest. Back in 1E it was, when we had tons of money and not much to spend it on. (The...

    D&D 5E (2014) I dream of... What?

    By only scanning the stat blocks on my first flip-through the book? :blush:

    D&D 5E (2014) I dream of... What?

    Genies who can't grant whishes aren't Genies, IMO. I guess that's what happens when you call everything a 'monster'. You lose sight of what makes them what they are. Comments?

    D&D 5E (2014) How to stop a Thief

    This. And yes, I read what you said about it being a party member. That sort of nonsense should never be tolerated unless everyone is onboard with it from the beginning. ("But its my 'alignment/character'" is never an excuse for this kind of behavior at the table.)

    D&D 5E (2014) How Will You Be Generating Stats in 5E?

    If I ever get to run I'll have a variety of methods available for individual choice. Probably 4D6, drop the lowest, but roll 9 times and keep the 6 you like best. A better than standard array, probably 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 10. And maybe a point buy, 30-33 points, with 18 as the highest possible...

    D&D 5E (2014) DungeonScape (formerly known as Morningstar)

    Thank you. I'm feeling much better about it now.

    D&D 5E (2014) DungeonScape (formerly known as Morningstar)

    I obviously wasn't very clear with my question, and should have been. Sorry about that.To wit: I have a PC running Windows 7. That's it. No laptop, no tablet, no smartphone. And I know zip, zero, zilch about apps. So my question is, with all that in mind, will I be able to use DungeonScape if I...

    D&D 5E (2014) DungeonScape (formerly known as Morningstar)

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you need a laptop/tablet to use this? Don't have one, won't get one. Don't have any use for apps either. So this is a big MEH for me.

    D&D 5E (2014) Improving the Fighter's Stickiness

    Or, he could get bitten by a radioactive spider? :heh:

    D&D 5E (2014) Any authors you think should be in Appendix E but are not?

    I didn't see her name on the list. And if there was one author I think deserved to be on it, she was. I mean, c'mon, Paksenarrion even had Hommlet and the Moat House!

    D&D 5E (2014) Was Tempest an odd choice for PC-centric domain?

    Where's the MAGIC domain? Man, but I hate D&D's insistence on dividing arcane and divine magic, to the point where they won't even allow Clerics of a god of magic! (For now, anyway.)

    D&D 5E (2014) Moar Feats

    More DMing analysis from Lewis Pulsipher

    I remember this from back in the day. Thought it was one of Lew's better pieces. Of course, people ragged on him some for being too linear, but I think most of us took the idea of most games having a little of several styles mixed in with the main style as a given by then. Or not. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) It's Dwarfy McDwarferson from the Player's Handbook!

    Tolkin never said Dwarven women had beards, if fact, he never even mentioned them. THAT's where the idea came from. Some wit decided (in the pages of Dragon Magazine) that since none of the fellowship mentioned them, they must be indistinguishable from the men, which must mean that they had...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can't Download Basic

    I hope its just that there are too many people trying, but every time I try to download 5th ed Basic I get timed out. And usually within 5-10 seconds! Has anyone else had this problem, or am I just plain screwed?

    D&D 5E (2014) Humorous disclaimer in D&D Basic
