    Dark Eye fan sites in English?

    Does anyone know of any good English-language websites for the Dark Eye rpg? I've been playing through some of TDE video games like Chains of Satinav and Drakensang and they sparked an interest in the setting. Thanks in advance, Monty aka HobbitFan

    Name/Stats of dagger that grows to short sword when wielded by halfling

    Look on page 105 of the 1E Unearthed Arcana under Dagger +2, Longtooth. I don't know if we can post game stats so I refer you to the book itself.

    D&D 5E (2014) An idea for campaign settings

    Here's an idea for campaign settings that WOTC can do for 5E: Each campaign setting gets an atlas like the old Karen Wynn Fonstad ones done for Dragonlance, Forgotten realms, Middle-Earth and Donaldson's the Land. Those were not all WOTC settings but if you have one of those old books you get...

    DOCTOR WHO: "Deep Breath" (SPOILERS)

    I liked the new Doctor. Not enough with him interacting with his friends. I don't get the point of including Strax, Vastra and Jenny if Clara is going to be the only one talking to them. Capaldi was by himself too much of the episode. I can't say I especially cared for the story or the...

    D&D 5E (2014) No Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting in development?

    I appreciate that Mike Mearls posted the clarification. I think Kamaikazi Midget might be onto something with the notion that in 5E settings will be handled differently. Maybe once all the core books are out, we'll start to hear something on WOTC's plans. Lack of information, I think...

    D&D 5E (2014) No Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting in development?

    Why wouldn't newbies buy a campaign setting? As a young player (and newbie) in the 80s I bought: the old FR grey box, Dragonlance Adventures, Greyhawk adventures hardbacks, etc.

    D&D 5E (2014) No Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting in development?

    I don't understand. How can they use the FR as a setting and not support it with material? It it wasn't going to be updated, why do the Sundering? Why use it as the setting of the first 5E campaign? Where do they point new players and DMs who want to run in the Realms? Are they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tyranny of Dragons - What year?

    The threads I have been able to find seem to put it around 1489 DR (Dale reckoning). This seems to be based upon two pieces of info: 1. the dates in the later Sundering novels 2. the date given to start adventure league material using the Tyranny of Dragon storyline

    Best Science Fiction RPGs

    What I have liked playing: 1. Stargate sg-1 rpg based on the Spycraft d20 system. The main Spycraft game or the Farscape rpg, also based on this might be worth a look as well. 2. Traveller rpg by Mongoose 3. the old D6 Star Wars by West End Games 4. the old Star Trek rpg by FASA. They also...

    D&D 5E (2014) How will the Forgotten Realms be handled?

    Anyone know why WOTC is being so silent about their 5E plans for the Realms?

    Gnomes! (HUH) What are they good for? Absolutely nothing!

    I've never had any problem with gnomes in my D&D games. My brother proudly played an illusionist back in the 1E/2E days and he played one in 3E/3.5. That was all in the Forgotten Realms. And I used gnomes all the time alongside dwarves and halflings and we never got the three races mixed up...

    D&D 5E (2014) What about the magazines?

    Do we know anything about WOTC's plans for Dungeon and Dragon under 5E?

    D&D 5E (2014) What Do You Need From The DMG?

    This may sound like a smart alec answer to the initial question but...my simple answer to what I need in the Dungeons Master's Guide? What I need to run D&D that's not covered in the Player's Guide and Monster Manual. I expect stuff like: xp/advancement, monster design, adventure design...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set: Phandalin Map

    I like the map. It reminds me a little of the old ICE MERP maps.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's up with the Realms?

    It seems like there would have to be some setting update info for the Adventurer's league stuff. And Tyranny of Dragons as well. For instance, I don't know what the current year is in Realms continuity. DMs should have the basics of the update information available to them.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's up with the Realms?

    Scrivener: I'll have to wait to check out that thread until Candlekeep is back up and running. They've been down the last couple of days. Thanks for sharing though. I've been a little leery of getting the Sundering novels because only half of them have gotten good reviews. And the overall...
