Beat me to it. I'm @ongoingdamage on twitter and asked you: Wizards_DnD Wizards_DnD @ongoingdamage I'll do that for you - attack and then move isn't saying you can't also move and attack. You can move then attack. Apr 24, 9:04 AM via HootSuite In reply to… OnGoingDamage OngoingDamage...

I'm really confused at this reading of a Rule of Three article. This isn't the STRICT MUST BE FOLLOW RULES GUIDE! I think when someone says, "you can move and then attack" in conversation or a casual Q&A article, we all know what they mean in terms of the RPG. So far, all the information being...

Sounds like an excellent use case of the modular system they have been talking about. Initiative: Core rules: individuals roll initiative Option 1: Group initiative Option 2: Instant actions, everything happens at once and is resolved at the same time. Option 3: PCs always go last. Option 4: ...

I wouldn't mind seeing a combination of the two. I think At-will spells/powers are a good thing. Having the option to take some basic attacking spell and being able to spam it works. Having a number of spell "slots" and being able to prepare some from a list, also "feels" right. Here is how I'd...

Possible, and I'd love to see it. However, I'd imagine they'll keep a lot of stuff "under wraps" so that the DDXP attendees get that special feeling of having inside information. So if WotC waits a couple of weeks to release information, the attendees get a chance to blog and tweet in nonNDA...

To actually play in the D&D:Next games you have to sign an NDA. The rest of DDXP and all the seminars do not require the NDA. I doubt we'll be seeing a character sheet soon.

oh noes! minis! Terrible horrible! panic panic panic! https://twitter.com/#!/gregbilsland/status/162554939707621377/photo/1 Heh, I actually love minis. So two pictures, one with, and one without minis. I imagine they want to show off all the options.

I think it's the lack of a good way in. A specific examples I've seen is with the PAX gaming convention. While it's a video game con, there is a strong table top presence there, which tends to be dominated by D&D. The con is run by the folks over at Penny Arcade, who put out the great series of...

I wonder if when mentioning all the sub systems, if always use them all, but if you didn't care about it, you get a default option. Let's say for example the "core" or "base" package is race, class, ability score. Every player has to make those choices. Now, let's say we have an option feat...

I guess it really comes down to your players, but I know if I threw out a chess trap problem, my players would groan and be miserable. People who hate chess or think they aren't good, will sit back and wait for someone else to figure it out. Even if you've given them the hint that you need to...

Well it is to serve a different story concept. A healing word is the cleric calling on their divine powers to boost the power that is already in you, and give you the chance to push forward. They are release the "magic that is already inside you". Cure Serious Wounds, is more than that. They are...

The setting is actually meant to be doing just what you did with it. It's a generic sandbox that meant to be real informal and allow the DM to do what they want with it. It's good if you don't have alot of time/motivation for world building. Lots of little details you can go to when needed, but...

One of the main factors to look at is the party level and composition. This is pretty easy to do with a level 1 or 2 party. The main issue occurs with dailies and healing. How much access to healing do they have? A low level party with one leader is usually limited power wise to 2 heals and...

I imagine it is a setting they use for internal testing. They can probably set it for a build and then run stuff faster looking for certain things. Then they forgot to change it back. Also, doing the deploy on a friday night, was sorta silly. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's update. We should...

I got into the beta a little bit ago. Up until last Friday's update, I was really digging the game. It uses simplied 4E rules, and you basically make a character, recruit three additional party members and go on dungeon crawls. They are simple, straightforward, but pretty fun for a little flash...

Umm, why wouldn't you just pull your net out of your Deep Pocket's cloak? I mean, everyone has one of those right? Filled with all sorts of odds and ends? *smirk* That much of a vertical leap, in armor, is pretty impressive, even with a high Athletics. In my games, I'd let them do it. I had...

I think it's pretty weird that a series of books (well too books, I hardly think the DM's kit or tile sets are being referenced here) that ADDED options to the game, ruined it, by taking away options? They provided a couple of new builds of classes that fill the needs and wants of a certain play...

I don't really think it's over powered, but it is really strong if played right. If you are using MM3 and MV1&2 monsters with the new monster damage and math, I don't see it as a problem. It'll give them the edge in one encounter. One encounter where they are all bunched up together. Also, it...

Since this is a one time thing, and the rogue will get to apply sneak attack other times, I think it's purely justified. If I were running it, I would make a note on the BBEG's stats to taunt it out. Maybe when the rogue moves into flanking, have the BBEG give out a little quip or something to...

This is a really interesting announcement and reaction from Paizo and the community. I think it would be interesting to see how the exact same announcement from WotC would be received. Not as nicely, I imagine. However, Paizo did a great job at explaining why they are randomizing and using...
