Depends on the version of Marvel Superheroes - if it's that version that came out in the mid-1980s, you gained karma points for future games, which influenced rolls. I can't speak to DC Superheroes, or any new versions of Marvel RPGs. Yeah, I think the "opposition" should be more openly defined...

Also, have your foes use these features themselves, that usually piques player interest. If the Bugbear is using the reverse gravity pole, the PCs will know they won't die if they touch it, too. EDIT: 5ekyu beat me to it.

I can't say I'm a fan of this rule, as (a) it is very fiddly compared to the simplicity of the original rule, (b) it seems to penalize PCs at the worst time to penalize them -- when they are low level, and removes the penalty at higher.

Sheer Freakin' Genius: "...as well as add a magical, mean-spirited announcer that taunts visitors as they blunder from one room to another." My players would kill me. :-) "Oooh, that looks like a nasty hit for the dwarf -- looks like HE's not gonna have the stones to face that Hook Horror...

The job posting also calls for "familiarity" with CmoS, which is a whole different thing from "Google the answer." I have at various times been in positions to hire people who completely understand various compliance guides common to my industry. I want to be sure that the people in question are...

This is why QA exists, and good on them (WotC)! While it's not ideal to miss a deadline, it's far less ideal to rush it anyway and be plagued by customer complaints and replacements. (I wish software and hardware manufacturers learned that lesson more often, but most of the time there are no...

Pimple-faced teenager carrying what looks like a wooden sword into Undermountain? Perhaps the title of that art should be "Feeding time at Undermountain"... :-)

In addition to Nathan Stewart, Brand Director for D&D, updating that figure to 12 to 15 million in North America alone, as Morrus mentions, keep in mind that Critical Role, where people are "rolling dice and recording numbers on a character sheet," pull in somewhere between 55,000 and 65,000...

I don't get the surprise that 'competitive D&D' would have an audience. Has anyone taken stock of the amount of theorycrafting that goes on in various online media platforms? Or has taken note of the popularity of things like Draft Kings for even people who don't actually participate for prize...

Does anyone know what are the biggest differences between this and the Explorer’s Edition?

Yeah, same here - but then, on a gaming board, I suspect you'll find this answer quite disproportionately. :) One of my high school English term papers in fact was about Lovecraft, using as my primary sources both S.T. Joshi's Lovecraft biography and some tidbits of information from the Call of...

It's a point I tend to agree with - in games with concrete alignments, evils characters are usually defined by the game as not just "not working in common interest", but instead "actively working against common interest." Lawful characters are usually pretty low-key and ordered about the whole...

I even heard a podcast mention Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth this week - however, they didn’t know the name, they just mentioned one of the encounters in it that screamed “S4” to me. I really want to run that one again - maybe with a 5e party so that I could mitigate the deadliness a bit.

There are plenty of Fantasy/Western trope mixes out there - Paizo, ever a fan of the old TSR tropes and campaign worlds, has Alkenstar as a nation of gun-wielders in a blasted wasteland called the Mana Wastes, and firearms are a part of the Golarion campaign world. I agree with the supposition...

The only reason they offered the print copies at all was customer request; they actually said this back in March 2018 when the playtest was announced. If they had it their way, it would have been a PDF release only, because of this very reason that they knew would be happening throughout the...

I’ve never done it, but I have considered it before as a possible “gateway drug” for my regular Pathfinder group. :)

I maintain: Amazon Prime Hulu Netflix BritBox Acorn ...and damned if I’m going to pick up any other services. DC universe, CBS, Disney, Alpha, and any other streaming service, as far as I am concerned, can go :):):):) themselves until these companies can figure out how to play well with others...

That’s not a map of Khorvaire you just described, now, is it? No Galifar, no Droaam, no Shadow Marches, no Demon Wastes, not even a Mournland - It’s Faerun with a slightly different chalk outline. Besides, you’re trying to use an exception to disprove what someone has already admitted is an...

I think for me, the cutoff is geographical IP. If it involves a different landmass as the main setting, not using any other owned IP landmasses, then from that point, it's officially homebrew. In truth, in keeping with the Theseus paradox, I recognize that there's always a range and there is...
