WotC basically stopped publishing for, what, two years? If McDonald's runs out of cheeseburgers and french fries for a week, sales on the day they restock are going to see a significant "increase" over the days when they only had salads and fish filets to sell. Some part of that 67 percent...

That's not an excuse, it's a reason, and not a very good one. What evidence is there that brick and mortar retail stores are a *significant* source of 5E's success? I'm sure they are selling well at local gaming stores, and while those store owners might argue that sales in an electronic format...

That's not an excuse in 2015. I bought (and enjoy buying) print products, but for the past decade I've been referencing .pdfs or an online, hyperlinked SRD that allow me to cut-and-paste relevant stat blocks and other info into my own note files. I don't expect WotC to do everything Paizo has...

Yep, I'd happily give the poor starving authors of the PHB a few bucks for a digital copy of the World's Most Famous RPG. But it's 2015 and we can't have pdfs because reasons :erm: I guess jury duty?

That picture of Demogorgon makes me wish all the words that come after it didn't make me so sad.

Humor and/or weirdness = Yes. Whimsy/silliness = No. One or two demon lords + the Underdark = Hell yes! ALL the demon lords + Alice in Underland = Pass. Demonically-possessed slime monsters = Sure. Pudding Kings and talking mushrooms named "Something-dump" and "Stool" = No bueno. Edit: My...

The answer is not none, so by default must be too much. (I suppose I try to be too clever sometimes. Has led to all sorts of misunderstandings over the ages. )

I would second most of Zil's list. A few others I'd add: * Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy and the three later books (Best Served Cold, Before They are Hanged, Last Argument of Kings) set in that world * David Gemmell, especially his older Drenai paperbacks * Michael Stackpole's Dragon Crown...

That's like asking, "How much raw sewage on your pizza is too much?" There is no acceptable amount of Drizzit. The conundrum I find myself in: I loathe Salvatore and his spawn, and wish the Realms would be forgotten already. I'm glad others like them and can vote with their dollars. But I would...

They got too much Drizzit on it for me. I'm tempted to pick it up to repurpose, but that Mary Sue juice is hard to wash off.

Or, I don't know, the current edition PHB might be nice.

My first thought when seeing a graph like that is that someone needs to check for a data error. I haven't gotten past that first thought. (FWIW, I'm a big 5E fan and would expect a bump. But I'm skeptical that it almost doubled FG's business, especially considering the ridiculous price they're...

Lots of poor assumptions being made tonight. I understand how the feat works. I fail to see how gaining one extra sneak attack a round on a reaction ends the game, considering a) at low levels sneak attack damage is relatively trivial, even if a character grabs Polearm Master early; b) at high...

For what exactly? Pointing out that you can't, as you implied, trigger sneak attack on the bonus attacks from GWM or Polearm Master (which can't be used on the same turn, anyway)? Or do you actually think it's overpowered that a high-level rogue with a specific set of circumstances and three...

Sneak attack is once per turn, period, end quote. Try reading the rules (and considering Wheaton's Law) before posting.

I'd go with archetype along the "enforcer" lines mentioned above. Medium armor proficiency, ability to use sneak attack with any proficient weapon (instead of only finesse weapons) to start. Later on give an ability that subs Strength for Charisma on all Intimidate-type checks (maybe any...

I think it's the standard "pissing on the memory of a beloved institution" that's generating the nerdrage, with a side of "unconscious resistance to doublespeak" due to the inexplicable (and unearned) "+". I don't think there would be as much backlash if they'd just called it "Dragon, Jr." or...

This: "Robust post-launch module expansion program" And this: "PlayStation 4 pre-orders also include a bonus $10 worth of Warframe™ Platinum in-game currency."

Struggled to find an appropriately onomatopoetic word to describe the violent puking prompted by this announcement. Please, me, can we have something other than FR?

Love the 5E mechanics, mostly ok with the rate of expansion (though I would like to see some psionic rules and more class archetypes/domains sooner than later). But I've reached a point that I just hate, hate, hate Forgotten Realms. Would happily fork over my money for products placed anywhere...
