    Mearls On D&D's Design Premises/Goals

    Yet 4E had tons of options AND emphasized cooperation. You can, in fact, have your , uh, bagel and eat it too.

    Mearls On D&D's Design Premises/Goals

    I agree. Perhaps an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons would be a good idea.

    Mearls On D&D's Design Premises/Goals

    Reread my post. I did not attack every single document on the DMs Guild. There are certainly gems in there, but the majority is not worth the storage it takes up. I don't see DMs Guild products as competing with my FLGS dollars, because I make the choice to buy in-store because I want my...

    Mearls On D&D's Design Premises/Goals

    Yes... because the majority of the stuff available on the DM's Guild is a worthy comparison to a third party product like the one you mentioned. Oh wait. They aren't. Not even close.

    Mearls On D&D's Design Premises/Goals

    I disagree. I would like to support my store, so if it comes down to going for a Sms Guild product or buying yet another adventure from WOTC in-store then it will be the WOTC adventure.

    Mearls On D&D's Design Premises/Goals

    I would agree except none of these products make it into game stores, which means for a not-so-small portion of the D&D player base means they might as well not exist.

    Mearls On D&D's Design Premises/Goals

    I've read this several times since 5th Edition was released but I don't get it. I started with 2E and I felt like 2E had an enormous amount of options and "rules bloat" attached to it. I completely agree. I think a better analogy is that I, and others, would like some coffee with our donuts.

    New D&D Monsters and More in Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravnica

    I still have my copy from 3E, actually, but I am a lazy person (admittedly) and I would love to see that level of effort go into bringing FR fully into 5th Edition. Really, POD is just the most realistic option it seems, but I would greatly prefer buying my FR products from my local game store...

    D&D 5E (2014) When a PC is dead and gone, what options do the players have at your table(s)?

    Level 1 baby! It makes character death mean something. To be honest though, much like 4E, I haven't had a character die yet.

    If You Pre-Order This 448-Page D&D Art Book You Get A Free Deluxe Art Print

    When I first caught wind of this, browsing on Amazon, I immediately put it on my wishlist for the holidays. Looks like it will be great!

    D&D 5E (2014) What DM flaw has caused you to actually leave a game?

    Sexual assault or anything of that sort and I am out. Not even a chance to talk me down. If someone felt that it was OK to have that type of content in a D&D game then their lack of judgment is too flawed for me to continue playing with them. Edit: This doesn't include the story elements in...

    New D&D Monsters and More in Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravnica

    And let's be honest, what they have put out in support of the Forgotten Realms is only deemed such because other settings have even less or none at all. Give me a Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, WOTC, at the very least put it on POD if you are so afraid of minimal sales. That goes for other...

    It's a Drizzt! "Timeless" - New Drizzt Do'Urden Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore

    I'm not a HUGE Drizzt fan, but I am a fan of the Forgotten Realms so hopefully, this will mean more FR books to come. I'm ordering Timeless to vote with my wallet.

    New D&D Monsters and More in Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravnica

    Not really that interested. This might be the first 5E product I don't buy.

    Where Are All the Dungeon Masters?

    I think another issue is that there are so many people that just want to show up and be entertained. I always get a kick out of seeing posts like: "5 Players Looking For A Game". Hello? You have the makings of a game right there. I'd like to say that many of these people are afraid to DM...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM Best Traits

    I picked adaptability, but communication is a close second. You can be the most organized, reliable and creative DM ever, but none of that will mean squat if you can't handle the Barbarian wanting to compete in an impromptu wrestling match at the inn or when the Rogue decides to "earn some...

    Two New Settings For D&D This Year

    I think that is why the "multiverse" language that has been used so often already in 5th Edition has me on edge. I can appreciate things being connected, if the need is there, but I don't care for it as an assumption of the system as a whole.

    Two New Settings For D&D This Year

    No, I'm totally up for seeing 5E Planescape or Spelljammer. I, personally, just don't see the draw and why so many people apparently want them.

    Two New Settings For D&D This Year

    I'm up for anything, but I can't say I get the draw of Planescape or Spelljammer.

    I agree with your agreement! :)
