    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Frog God Games KS of Tome of Horroes

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I am not asking for "reform". I am not asking to know all the details, outcomes, etc... of every workplace incident. I am asking for the one incident of which I am aware to be handled with greater care than a talking to behind closed doors from a close...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Frog God Games KS of Tome of Horroes

    Not a witch hunt. It's a response to corroborated facts. Mr. Webb had been drinking (a fact that FGG seemed to be aware was likely given their use of his tendency to get drunk at conventions as a punchline to Facebook post). Mr. Webb had an altercation with a fellow professional that she...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Frog God Games KS of Tome of Horroes

    Yes, it does mean continuing to bring it up until appropriate action has been taken. The action that was taken was Mr. Webb was 'talked to' by Mr. Finch, his friend, colleague, and business partner. I am not convinced that Mr. Finch is the appropriate person to have that conversation. Frog...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5E] Frog God Games KS of Tome of Horroes

    I've backed Borderlands Provinces (both hardcovers), the Blight (HC and all pdfs), and Quests of Doom 3 (HC). I own hardcovers of Bards Gate 5e, Quests of Doom vols. 1 + 2 (5e), Quests of Doom 2 (5e), The Northlands Saga (PF), Sword of Air (PF), Cults of the Sundered Kingdoms (PF), Stoneheart...

    D&D 5E (2014) Using a quarterstaff one handed?

    Someone will have a great answer and be able to point towards a fencing manual of some kind from the Middle Ages that has pictures, but I always just pictured it like a blunt spear when one handed. You're poking people hard with it.

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] QL's Al-Qadim Game

    I’m on board with Akilah having the say. I think Husam would follow her orders regardless of his thoughts.

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    Blaise listens carefully and smirks as he answers, “I cannot speak to her supernatural abilities, but,” he runs a finger along the priestly collar he’s wearing, “I fully believe that she could tempt an abbot from his vows.” His smile broadens, “And this is good, because now you know to whom...

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Husam takes a moment to gently brush the neck of his steed. The wilting heat had been hard on him, but the horse had mustered through. "We'll find rest soon, my friend," he whispered in its ear. He listens to the discussion and shares his thoughts, "We are more exposed here than I would like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rants Regarding the Corporate Castration of our Beloved Hobby

    I think your solution is interesting (especially the receipt one), but it doesn't deal with the four issues that Elfcrusher lined up: 1. Backwards compatibility with already printed/sold books? No, it would only work going forward. You could give codes to folks who purchased through an online...

    Will the night at the oasis count as a rest?

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] QL's Al-Qadim Game

    It's been a bit so I don't remember much about the evil jann. Is that the one who stole the waters? I think Husam would want to keep pursuing the Brotherhood/raiders. Was there any indication of connection between the evil jann and the raiders? Regardless, he would follow the vizier's lead.

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    I’m going to roll an insight check for whether they’re lying about the situation with Wallace (did he flay the slave and that’s why they rebelled). However this impacts the DC, I think Blaise is inclined to believe them. Wallace has a fierce reputation, doesn’t he? And, their story matches up...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Guys, I can't tell you how big of a smile showed up on my face when I saw the email that the in game thread updated. Woohoo!

    Sell Me On WotBS / Zeitgeist

    Haven't ran either in 4e. I've only read WotBS completely and read portions of Zeitgeist. WotBS is a fantastic epic fantasy that hits the notes you want and expect from D&D. Each adventure usually has some great set pieces (fight in a hurricane, explore an ever burning forest, bring down a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Converting pathfinder adventure paths to 5e

    I run ENpublishing's War of the Burning Sky in 5e. It's cheap and awesome. I recommend it to anyone who wants an epic D&D campaign. Anyway, I tend to convert on the fly with a few rules. WotBS is 3.5, but the formulas work for PF just as easily. For DC checks, take the amount over 10 and...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    There's also Fenris playing Old Zef the surly and often drunk dwarf. Thateous is playing Jacques (I believe that's right) the rather remarkable chef. I believe he was most recently seen wooing our captain with pastries. I think that's everyone that was active.

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    I don’t have anything useful to add to the overall discussion. The idea of harassment and abuse is completely unacceptable to me and I want it to be prevented whenever possible and punished when it occurs. I am bothered by Frog God Games in this situation. I have supported their products. I...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I forgot the Bond! It's on the first post. Your character needs a reason to be pursuing La Gloriosa. There's ten options and they're pretty broad and flexible. If you can think of an option that it doesn't cover, just run it past QL. He's pretty open to things like that.

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    Here's some links in the group: House Rules Fortunes The fortunes are a great way to build your character. Every positive needs a negative. Mixed fortunes can be taken as is, I believe. I don't recall if there's a cap on fortunes during character creation, but you don't want to many...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I think most of the options are either on the first post or the group. There's options for character creation. It's been awhile since I made Blaise, but I think there is some kind of boon/complication system. I also vaguely remember a houserule about lives, but I could be misremembering. I...
