Somewhere, an art director is thinking "People aren't sure if she's female! The artist should have drawn giant breasts with a lot of cleavage, just to make sure." I'm glad that guy isn't working on D&D anymore.

Should players be allowed to play monsters as characters? That's up to each DM and their individual campaign. Should there be a supplement (or DMG section) defining how to play monsters as characters? Well, all supplements are about presenting options that the player/GM can decide to use or...

Super simple XP: You need 10 XP to get to the next level. You get 1 XP for each significant encounter (some more significant ones might be worth 2 or even 3 XP). The DM can also give you 1 XP for inspiration (instead of advantage on a future roll). When you get to the next level, it rolls...

I'm disappointed that this isn't a heavy-armor-and-mace cleric. That's what I thought death clerics were in D&D.

(Spoilers, by the way) What you're saying is: The DM presents an adventure hook to the players. The players can react to it or ignore it. Then the DM presents another adventure hook (of the DM's choice) to the players, and so on. That is not a sandbox. That is a railroad. If the players ignore...

This actually looks less fiendish than the Tieflings.

I don't think you understand the criticisms. It's not a new-school/old-school divide. Both old adventures and new adventures require you to "make it your own." I don't think there's any RPG experience that isn't customized by the GM. We want to customize adventures. My problems with HotDQ (like...

A sortable spell list: http://mouseferatu.com/index.php/news/august-8-2014-a-special-gift-for-my-fellow-dd-fans/

If your campaign doesn't have magic items, don't use monsters that can only be hurt by magic items. If your campaign doesn't have Clerics, don't hit them with attacks that can only be healed by Clerics. (Or do. That'll teach them to mess with golems.) Lots of reasons. The most relevant ones are...

How is that unlike a crossbow?

I agree, and it's pretty sad that this disaster is "average."

You can turn metal into wood, can't you? Wizards still have fireball, don't they?

There are plenty of ways to add text and keep the same page count. For example, some of the appendices could be trimmed. Halfling art could be deleted. Gnomes and Bards could be removed.

Awesome! Got an offline (Excel) version? Mind adding page numbers?

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who was severely disappointed by this adventure path. I mean, right there in the first episode, there are two "supposed to lose" boss fights. Here's how the first one played out at my table: DM: The dragon is attacking. Some guards are up on the roof to...

I'd treat a boomerang as a non-weapon, unable to even serve as an improvised weapon. I know that's not the answer you're looking for, so how about this: Boomerang Martial ranged weapon 75 gp 1d6 bludgeoning damage Returning (range 30/120), light Returning: This weapon returns to you after...

Where's the stat block people are referring to?

In 5e. That's what I thought too, but it just didn't work when I tried it. It's annoying because you have to A, remember stuff, and B, do math. As a D&D player, you must know that a lot of gamers have trouble with both of those things. It's much easier if the number you're looking for is written...

That's nifty! Will there be one for monsters?

But it doesn't say that on the spell list, so you have to flip through every wizard spell to see which ones are abjuration/evocation.
