A better design might be a table of things to describe and point out for characters with various perception scores, but honestly the purpose of the text boxes is to help new DMs. And I am all for tools that make it easier for someone new to start DMing, even if it's something that they will grow...

Perhaps he could open up a tavern for fledgling Adventurers to get quests in? ;) At any rate, this is truly the end of an era. Perkins started his career about one year after I first got into D&D. Really puts things into perspective.

Dandin could feel his heart sink as the militia announced their warrant. Nobody was happy to be in the room right now, with the tension thick enough to be cut by his apple-knife. Fortunately, he wasn't far removed from his past as a merchant, and knew how to make a sale. "Friends, constabulary...

Well I dunno if Ol'Sooty can ride a horse, a bicycle maybe, but I suspect a horse might have objections. As for our current situation, Dandin can help with that. Or at least try depending on the dice :)

"How dire!" Dandin exclaimed, then paused for a thought. "If we can't find them with magic, maybe Ol'Sooty and I can pick up a trail with the more natural techniques that were taught to us."

I can't say it's unexpected, but I can say it's disappointing.

Dandin could scarcely believe his ears, on the lookout for Magic Users? "You don't suppose they are on the lookout for Thayans, do you?" The halfling asks in a hushed tone while peering around suspiciously.

I still morn the fact that the Condition Track from SW:SE was never ported into D&D like people were speculating before 4E hit. For those who don't know: It's like the exhaustion track, but it also replaces status conditions and non-lethal damage.

Dandin, sensing the growing tensions, hands out apples to everyone who will accept. "A snack will do us a bit of good while we wait." Casing Goodberry, for 10 apples. Anyone of the PCs or NPCs nearby can partake of one for now or later if they wish.

Beauty is in the eye of the potato.

I've never actually ordered anything physical from them. The closest things I have had to negative experiences with their services are: The search bar generally being bad. It's slow, and false positives choke the search results. (Direct navigation, on the other hand, is simply handled with...

I'm pretty sure WoW was trying to copy EverQuest more so than D&D at the time. But then again, EverQuest did copy a bunch of stuff from D&D so...

Dandin rode proudly upon Ol' Sooty, happily munching a breakfast apple and eager to see his companions again. Unfortunately, the mood at the gate was a bit too sour for his tastes. "Sirs, Ladies, Friends! Glad to see you all again! But what seems to be the trouble?"

They really could have done with a proper "Build your own NPC/Monster" chapter and sidestepped most of the problem people have with humanoids in the book entirely. Just throw in a bunch of templates, one for each species, and have the generic stat blocks to drape them over. And lets be clear...

The big issues would come from player abilities like Wildshape and Polymorph, which skim the MM for stat blocks. A lot of the MM24 monsters are significantly more deadly than their MM14 counterparts.

I am here still.

None of the above. Come to think of it, I've never had a player do a Drizzt clone either. Though I have had one play a Jarlaxle fanboy.

It's also up on D&D beyond.

I would dare say it's less about D&D being uncool, and more about WotC being uncool.

I don't think I have ever been satisfied with Turn Undead at the table.
