    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e death and consequences?

    I always took death as a serious business in my campaigns. I don't like players freely use their vast resources without much thought on raising everytime someone is dead. I make the access to the spells way harder and more difficult. The churches may not even give the service unless the dead...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Item Costs in 5E

    I prefer magic items to be scarce and coveted in my campaigns. The magic items' value is to be strictly tied to the potential buyer. We all know from basic Economics, an item's value is derived from its supply and demand for it. Are the magic items everywhere, mass produced in wizards' labs in...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th edition Monster Manual: I think the really nice art detracts from the mediocre functionality of the book.

    I disagree with the OP. Lack of a CR list is not an issue. Besides, new monsters will show up with every new product eventually, your CR list on MM would be outdated in short time. WotC did a good job putting a downloadable list on the website. They can update it when new monsters are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does WotC suck at selling games?

    Ok, he is a bit harsh in his critics but he is telling the truth basically. I think there are minor issues about the PHB but the bigger problem I saw was in the Starter Set. Fist of all, why do you publish a Starter Set? Because you want to introduce your game to an alien audience. These...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sleep Spell 1st-Level, No-Save Death Spell?

    5d8 (average 22.5) seems to be strong. When you think of kobolds, goblins and orcs, yes it is. But when you begin to encounter tougher enemies that have around 12-16 hp, the spell quickly becomes ineffective, you need to wear down your foes first. I find this design beautiful because it doesn't...
