    D&D 5E (2014) Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    Alright, I am still working on the character sheets, but it is a lot more difficult than I initially gave it credit for. I am however learning a lot about adobe acrobat. Also, I have written my first Fifth Age adventure for general consumption, it is available here...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    I think you hit the nail on the head, as I was sitting here inventorying all of my bardic lore (as it were) that was the only setting where they really make sense as written these days. Bard as jack of all trades, including playing a guitar for wenching/louting purposes... way cooler than the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    I can dig it as an archetype, it would be a cool tradition for wizards, or bloodline for sorcerers, or even a cleric domain (you hear the songs of the heavens), but it just seems so narrow to be an entire class. Then again, I think there should be four classes, and everything should be an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else think the Bard concept is just silly?

    While obvious troll is painfully obvious, I must say that I have a general dislike for the thematics of bard as it is typically done. I love the idea of an adventuring loremaster and lothario, even with some music, but as it is usually done... it just fails in my mind's eye. Their plan is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Proposed Fix for Whack-a-Mole Healing

    Nah, run them against a clock so they don't dare waste time with a long rest. Double the numbers of enemies every time they do, as the orcs gather numbers, or whatever. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Schley's huge Faerun map updated and on Sale!

    Great maps, terrible website. Tried for nearly two minutes to give him my money and had no luck. By the time I finally figured out how to make a purchase (I assume) I was so frustrated and annoyed I didn't even want it any more, and rage quit out of the window. Don't gloss over UI, guys, it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Proposed Fix for Whack-a-Mole Healing

    I have been tinkering with rules that failed death saves do not go away until you take a long rest, so characters that hit 0 might get back up, but better hope they don't fail any saves, since they will accumulate. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with handling a ship's crew

    My sci-fi rules for ship crew follows and has worked quite well at the table thus far. Any pay that would be due the crewman who dies is of course paid to their beneficiary (remember to fill out those papers!) and the party would usually offer them a bonus to assuage their guilt, something like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    I am thrilled you find this usable, this is the ruleset I use at my table, and it is very interesting to see what other people do with it. As to the character sheet: okay, I will hack something fillable together. I had not thought about people needing it that way. I might not be able to...

    The price of a horse.

    How rich is the common man? Depending on the era a horse could cost a month or twos wages, or a year or more. When I was doing research for my gritty game I repriced them to be closer to historic prices where a stonemasons apprentice earns two silver pence a day and might spend one of them...

    D&D Movie/TV Dungeons and Dragons Movie to be a Musical!!!

    Not gonna lie, when I read the headline, I saw Neil Patrick Harris in blackface dressed as drizzt, and singing about how much he loves his panther and... I didn't hate it. I mean, Gallivant kind of worked, didn't it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew Healing Spell Discussion

    I like it, that's an interesting take on healing, and a neat use of the rules. Not strictly better than core cure wounds, not strictly worse, good design.

    D&D 5E (2014) Why 5E May Be the Best D&D to Hack of All Time

    I have fallen in love with 5e for many of the same reasons you note. I have been hacking 5e from the beginning, and have even made my own sci-fi version, and at about two years in it seems stable, and I have found no real problems with it that minor tweaks at the table couldn't fix. Easily the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Homebrew Healing Spell Discussion

    You could up it to level two and have it work like a shield golem. A target creature gains resistance to all damage, and whenever that creature loses HP the second willing creature loses the same amount. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) Fifth Age: A hard science fiction 5e conversion

    I just got done checking over the character sheets and they all appear to be editable. Did you, perhaps, mean fillable? I can get around to editing them to be fillable, either way, and have added it to my queue, but I am just a little confused as to what you wanted or meant.

    D&D 5E (2014) Healing Spells Fixed

    I like what you're doing, but cure wounds needs some punch to make it worth the slot. Perhaps let it have a D4 of healing as well, or let it cure casting mod plus proficiency bonus and allow healing dice. Sent from my MT2L03 using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E (2014) Hate ASI's ?

    This was basically how it worked earlier in the 5e playtest. At first level, Warriors got +2 weapon attack and no magic attack bonus, casters got the reverse, and I want to say cleric got +1 to each. Other than that it worked very similarly to what you see now.

    Gale Force 9 Comments On Brazil Translatorgate

    You'd think so. Right now my wholesaler lists Volo's at 26.97 (my price to pay, as a store), plus some shipping, handling and COD fees, usually, call it a round up to 28. Amazon however, has them for 25.14, with free shipping and no sales tax. It is cheaper for me to order one off of amazon...
