    D&D 5E (2014) [poll] How much does party class composition impact your choice on class?

    To an extent, I find that in the last few years our group tends to be less 'turn up with a character' and more 'lets be more collaborative as a group' I think that it stems from getting to know each other better and our development as players/GM. A lot depends on the game too - sometimes the DM...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does "murderhobo" mean to you?

    Refusing to fit into society they use murder to solve all of their problems

    Is Dark Sun an alternate future Forgotten Realms?

    All lies this is the true origin of Athas: Long ago, in the era known as Kamen’Bert, there was a world. It was rich, lush and verdant. People openly worshipped gods and magic was abundant and did not consume the world. It was the third age of the Game, a colloquial term for life in what was then...

    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks About... Everything! Upcoming Storylines, Products, Staffing, Other World

    The only drawback is the diverse writing quality - the first 2 dragon/tiamat modules were all over the place sadly :-( With all of the stuff for 4E that was rendered 'useless' maybe more conversion type material?

    D&D 5E (2014) Does anyone actually track rations?

    I think it depends how 'heroic' or gritty you run. EG in Darksun rations and fiid are very important, they are a part of the setting. In say FR, you could run a 'cinematic' grade game where unless plot specific, PCs dont run out of mundane ammo ir food/water. This is what i default to as PCs...

    So What IS Happening to Tabletop Roleplaying Games? Dancey & Mearls Let You Know!

    At the end of the day, people can get more reward easier and faster from computer games. However computer games are never as flexible as the human mind (well not until our Skynet overlords become sentient..) A big issue is the view of them as 'games' like monopoly, in monopoly it doesn't matter...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Basic Rules poll

    I wouldn't say I hate it, but I think it's more a throwback to 2E style with some cleanup rather than an evolution of the current game. At the moment the PCs are level 13 in 'my' campaign which is an adaptation of the Red Hand of Doom which the new tiamat adventure is supposedly based on. So I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen Adventure - Will you run/play it?

    No because I'm in the middle of a paragon campaign which borrows heavily from the 3.X 'red hand of doom' and will continue by folding in some of the 'scales of war' stuff at epic. In essence i'm already playing it :D

    D&D 5E (2014) Licensing speculation

    I think they dropped the ball with 3Es OGL thing as it let tonnes of splatty stuff be published and some well dodgy, clearly untested stuff through too. In the end pathfinder brought Pazio forward and this has probably hurt D&D most of all!

    GSL 4E

    OK next GSL 'self publishing' - I want to stick these adventures on a/my website for people to enjoy. I intend each 'adventure/module/delve/whatever' to consist of the actual PDF, a file with images of the maps and then another file with the monster blocks in it. Is this sensible? I'm trying...

    GSL 4E

    So I'm trying to write up some adventures into a more 'other people' friendly format, with the first few specifically aimed and new DMs. My concern is that under the OGL you can't give page numbers or provide stat blocks for anything that exists (as well as reference/use the special monsters...

    what isn't an rpg that should be?

    Elder Scrolls - it has tonnes of lore, geography and background. Now that it's an MMOG it might even happen!
