    I was there, too, and I agree, this was a great session and it was awesome to be a part of it. Looking forward to all of the great upcoming stuff that was shown.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you have Tales from the Yawning Portal (survey)

    I have it. I haven't used it yet, but I've flipped through it and can't wait to use it with one (or more) of my groups.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Spell: Galling Stone

    Interesting idea. I think as is, I'd make it a level 2 spell.

    D&D 5E (2014) How are you using Tales from the Yawning Portal?

    I haven't started yet as we're going to finish up another story line first, but as much as I'd love to say that I'm going to run every adventure in TftYP, I'm sure that due to time I won't be able to for awhile.

    D&D 5E (2014) POLL: Are you mainly a DM/Player, or also a collector?

    Yeah, I'm a sucker for maps, especially dungeon maps, and stuff like that. I skipped 3E and 4E of D&D (I just quit playing for awhile after college and didn't start again until the Next/5E playtest), but even though I didn't play any 4E, I still bought the Dungeon Delve 4E book just because I...

    D&D 5E (2014) What would you play in this party?

    Based on that party, although I'm personally not a big fan of the monk class, I think I'd second that recommendation.

    D&D 5E (2014) POLL: Are you mainly a DM/Player, or also a collector?

    Me, too, and I'm really looking forward to the reworked classic smaller modules that are coming out with 5E updates.

    D&D 5E (2014) POLL: Are you mainly a DM/Player, or also a collector?

    I've been playing D&D since the early 80s, but I also enjoy collecting fantasy related stuff. I'm curious how many others are also collectors, and how many are more just interested in the game itself. For me, with D&D, I fall somewhere in between. I definitely buy more than just the basic core...

    D&D 5E (2014) Building a dungeon that Meta-games

    I think it sounds like a fun idea. I usually DM, but I'd like to do something like this as a PC.

    D&D 5E (2014) Survivor Classic Modules: THE SINISTER SECRET OF SALTMARSH WINS!

    Same here. I definitely have some favorites there, but haven't played nearly all of them. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] How to Spend 1 Million Gold

    1,000,000 gold? That's easy. 1,000,000 is just enough to fill a roster of 12 on a Blood Bowl team!

    D&D 5E (2014) Models

    Personally, I prefer TotM over using miniatures. I generally draw maps on either grid paper or on a large notepad when I DM. Having said that, I do however enjoy collecting the miniatures, so I've got a pretty good sized collection. I do occasionally use them when positioning in combat may be a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Improvised actions in combat

    I encourage players to improvise during combat. It keeps things from getting boring by having them repeatedly say "I attack with my sword" over and over.

    D&D 5E (2014) DM campaign disputes.

    Definitely not cool on the DM's part. As a DM, I respect my players' time and effort put into the game too much to mess up their characters without them even having a chance to be a part of the outcome. I'd definitely talk to the DM and let him know how you feel, and if he doesn't seem to care...

    D&D 5E (2014) Adventures for young teens

    I agree that LMoP or Yawning Portal would be a great starting point.

    D&D 5E (2014) Skills Redux

    This is my biggest issue with skills in 5E. I personally like skills to help define a class, not just make the class better at them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you time your players in combat?

    I don't time them or set time limits, but my players also don't use their phones/tablets during the game except in an emergency. It really just isn't polite to the rest of the group and I"m thankful to have a group that understands that.

    Post Timestamps?

    I just came here to post about this. I noticed a couple of days ago that they were missing and thought I was having a display issue in my browsers. Glad to know its not anything I have to fix in my settings, but it would be nice to see the timestamps showing up correctly again.
