Not sure I quite follow you. Are you saying that you are playing on the internet and that people are secretly using chess engines against you? Or do you mean that they are using memorized lines against you?

And it's not like we have to wait a year for it. I'll have mine Nov 28th. Eight days is just going to feel like a year. I plan on buying two copies... Ya know... So I can read it twice. :) Nef

Hello Mark. Thanks for the link. I understand. Chess, like a lot of hobbies/sports and even rpgs, is not for everyone. I agree chess is a lot of work. To be a top level player, you have to dedicate your life to studying it. In my competition days, I was a candidate master ( which is the...

I hear ya. It's a fascinating game. I think more people would get into it if they understood it more. It's not the type of thing someone can just look at and understand right away. But I find when someone takes the time to learn about the pieces and how they should be used, both individually...

Not an RPG? Well I could tell you tales of brave mounted knights, storming the evil black king's fortress... :)

Is anyone else enjoying the current World Championship match, between Anand and Carlsen? Nef

In my opinion 3/4 cover is to much. I go with half. I think it's important to note, that even if you are using the variant grid rules, which I do, the combatants are not standing still. Story wise, they are constantly moving, even if only a little bit. Nef

As per number 2. And this is assuming we're talking about the Variant: Playing on a Grid rule. I allow it as I've said. However there is no denying it is an awkward move, but very doable all the same. Treating it as Difficult Terrain, costing some of your movement, to me, makes up for the...

maritimo80, diagonal movement through a corner of a wall is not allowed using the grid variant as per page 192. So, that answers questions #2 and #3 for you. I agree that I go against RAW for this specific case. I still allow it in my game for now. Nef

I agree. A general idea of what's in the book is good enough for me. I'm sure Nikosandros has a life outside of D&D, and I'm grateful for whatever information he shares as time permits him. Nef

1 - I allow this with half cover for both pc and enemy. 2 - I allow this as well. I treat the target square in your example as Difficult Terrain, and the pc can take an OA. 3 - I would not allow this. I consider the door totally blocked. The enemy could use the Shove rule and then enter if...

Hey all. I haven't given this any real in depth thought, but I thought I'd throw this at you and get some feedback. Orcs, Goblins, PC's. Player with the highest Dex mod rolls Init for the entire group. I as DM roll initiative once for each group of monsters as per normal RAW. End result is 12...

I turned my back on WoTC and D&D forever. Or so, for many years I thought. There are some who nit-pick and complain, still... To them I say have fun with whatever game system you're playing. I'm playing Dungeons & Dragons 5th. Nef

Purchased. I recently bought a headless horseman mini, so this will go perfectly with it. I've only had a chance to skim over it, but thanks a lot for doing this biotech. Much appreciated. Nef

Beat to the punch. :) I hear it's a great conversion tho. Can't wait to run it. Nef

This seems like a good thread to post what I have been considering doing for a grim & gritty, rare/low magic campaign I'd like to do, using 5E of course. I'll be using the variant human as well as playing with feats. So I've been considering starting pc's with all attributes at 10. They can...

I'd like to say, there really needs to be more threads like this one. I'm a lurker, not really a poster. I get so tired of reading rules debates, although I do like read about how people handle different situations. I think there is simply not enough discussion about adventure ideas...
