    News Digest: International Tabletop Day, Fallout Comes to Miniature Gaming, Mensa Select Winners Ann

    And SJG didn't do themselves any favors with their last kickstarter. They pissed off a lot of people with their shipping fees. I know I will skip their kickstarters in the future and wait for their products to appear on amazon or coolstuffinc.

    News Digest: International Tabletop Day, Fallout Comes to Miniature Gaming, Mensa Select Winners Ann

    I have never gotten into deck building games, but will probably at least try DragonFire. I will definitely be checking out the Fallout war game though. It can't use range bands like Star Trek, can it?

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Feats for Races

    I haven't read the document yet, so don't have all of the details. But, I could see some of these things being racial mutations/anomalies that some members of the race experience. Having them be feats seems a little odd though. I do agree with that.

    News Digest: Controversy Abounds! New Vampire Edition Details, Green Ronin's Talent Search, 7th Sea

    What Green Ronin is doing doesn't particularly bother me. But, I just want to point out that the issue isn't that they want to hire women, but that they are excluding men... which is in all likelihood illegal. There are two things that I wouldn't want to see: Green Ronin getting sued, if they...

    News Digest: Controversy Abounds! New Vampire Edition Details, Green Ronin's Talent Search, 7th Sea

    I am not sure if they located in the US or not. But, if so, then discriminating based on gender either way is illegal.

    News Digest: Controversy Abounds! New Vampire Edition Details, Green Ronin's Talent Search, 7th Sea

    Preview The ALCHEMIST Class From A TOUCH OF CLASS For 5E

    I think this is way overcomplicating the situation. These bombs are not that powerful, so I don't see them being abused in this way. I mean, they are d10 damage, but only have a range of 20'. I think most of my group would prefer to use a bow anyways... take the d10 to d8 hit, but get a...

    The Noble is 5E's Warlord - A Preview Of A TOUCH OF CLASS

    This class seems very much to be a supporting class. I could see this being a person's second character or an NPC working with the party. Beyond the starting equipment vs proficiencies issues, it looks ok. Not sure how much fun it would be to play as a primary character, but I see it playing...

    Preview The ALCHEMIST Class From A TOUCH OF CLASS For 5E

    That sounds reasonable. Not sure the ones in PF are more powerful or not, but doesn't seem like it would disrupt the balance to allow the alchemist to make extra and distribute them. They are not over powered compared to regular ranged weapons... Just more interesting I think. I would...

    Preview The ALCHEMIST Class From A TOUCH OF CLASS For 5E

    I wasn't saying that it was a useful ability. Someone else was saying that the reason that the alchemist could craft and throw a bomb in a single action was to prevent them from giving them to other characters. I was just arguing that they could still give them to other characters... Also...

    Preview The ALCHEMIST Class From A TOUCH OF CLASS For 5E

    Maybe... the alchemist could still create one during combat and hand it to an ally, no? And, that still makes little logical sense.

    Preview The ALCHEMIST Class From A TOUCH OF CLASS For 5E

    Well, I think the intention is for this feature to function like a cantrip... unlimited and on demand use. But, forcing the player to prepare the devices prior to an encounter lessens its usefulness somewhat. That's why I was thinking they should add in residual damage on the following...

    Preview The ALCHEMIST Class From A TOUCH OF CLASS For 5E

    I have a feeling that this feature was added for balance (to make it function more like a spell), but logically doesn't pan out. Maybe for balance, they could have this attack do residual damage on the following round... maybe half damage due to residual fire/acid/cold? But, remove the...

    Lankhmar Box Set for Dungeon Crawl Classics!

    I bought a couple of sets of DCC dice ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YLTHFJA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). But, pretty sure the core book describes how to use the standard set of 6 D&D dice as a substitute to the full set of DCC dice. But, it's always fun to have the...

    Preview The ALCHEMIST Class From A TOUCH OF CLASS For 5E

    Interesting. But, the ability to craft and throw a bomb in a single action seems odd. If one of my players plays this class, I think I'll allow them to craft their bombs during downtime (rest), and then use them during combat.
