    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Player's Handbook owners: What's the current condition of your book's binding?

    This is already an issue? As Planescape fan, I can tell you "Perfect Bound" was the most misnamed binding type.

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Excerpt: Creating a New Race

    I'm going to guess you made a typo here and assume you meant "the assumption that just because a race is in the PHB means it's going to be in your world".

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Excerpt: Creating a New Race

    Nit pick: Eladrin, as playable without DM fiat were from 4e. They've been around as "monsters" since at least 2e.

    I'm pleading guilty to this as well.

    Apparently Aang has fallen on hard times and become a thief.

    D&D 5E (2014) Old Ways of Playing

    I never did "detect life force" for undead. Before it was separated into Dark and Nightvision, I played Infravision tightly. You stopped seeing normally and started seeing heat patterns, immediately when the conditions that would allow you to use it came about. I have been guilty of the "people...

    GMing for Only 1 Player [+Tips?]

    Dogs can't roll dice as well as cats. :-) Looking harder could also help. Until I posted one of my first recruitment ads, other than the GURPS group I used to be part of, I didn't realize how many RPG gamers there were in my town. Once I had, interest exploded. None of these groups have formed...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM purposely gimping my Warlock

    Usually, I would be in complete disagreement with the OP. I still mostly disagree, but I see some wiggle room. Setting tend to have some very specific rules. While I have seen discussion of breaking these for the sake of inclusive games, that makes it not-that-setting to me. Exceptions for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Anybody actually TRY soloing the Tarasque...?

    That will only inconvenience it for a few thousand years.

    New text based MMORPG needs beta testers!

    What I remember is that most MU*s generally devolved into in-character chatrooms.

    Mythic Metals Versus Real Ones?

    Well, without being alloyed, titanium is very soft. There is something close to real world adamantium, but I forget its name.

    New text based MMORPG needs beta testers!

    You mean a MUD/MUCK? Unfortunately, beyond "Multi-user" I can't expand the second abbreviation, the first is "multi-user dungeon".

    D&D 5E (2014) Likes and Dislikes?

    Given some of the things WotC said in the early days of 3E, I'd hold it more against Hasbro. And on the other end, have to hold it against TSR before 3E.

    Your unused character ideas?

    Don't know if it would be a PC or an NPC, but I did have an idea for a character who was the child of Anne Bonnie (or a similar female pirate), where instead of the records being lost to time, she was in fact hanged after giving birth. The hanging of the character's mother being his or her first...

    Your Campaign Ideas?

    I'm tempted to do a one-shot based on the Grotesque Tactics parody RPG video games. Should the player's enjoy it, I'll continue it, using "Hero's Amnesia" to explain dropping back to level 1 each episode and allowing them to rearrange skill trees. Might use AD&D2E with the player's option books...

    D&D 5E (2014) Likes and Dislikes?

    5e is doing a lot of things I do like, however; the goal of "one D&D to unify them all" does not sit well with me. Art Style: So far all the female characters I've seen are anorexic, androgynous, or both. The men tend toward the beefy side. Armor is simultaneously both more reasonable, and more...

    D&D 5E (2014) [UPDATED] DMG - Villainous Classes Preview

    I consider that most people have enough imagination to think "I want to do X", whatever X is, and upon not seeing any rules for it don't say "I can't do that". Or that when the rules do say that they can't, they say "that's stupid" and do it anyway. Have you noticed these posts ignored the...
