My weapons name is: Thunderfury: blessed blade of the windseeker Scott

I am no WoTC fanboy as some are here, but you are missing out on a really interesting adventure. As I stated upstream, it does have a nice story arc that begs to be played. And even though it is set in FR, I think it is generic enough to be dropped into any campaign. Essentially the adventure...

I love Medieval history, reading about the exploits of Charlemagne, Roland and sir Gallahad were example's Paladins to me. A screaming orc that looks like it is having bowl problems really does not strike me as Paladin like. But hey, its your campaign you do as you please, you asked why some of...

As one who is currently DM'ing this adventure, It required alot of work to rework lol. I like the story arc of some crazy ...snip... cult trying to get their Dragon Queen back on the material plane by raiding and looting treasure and other stuff that in their eyes, would help bring about her...

Hi ya- I am running this adventure in my Greyhawk campaign pre Greyhawk wars circa 568CY. I did not follow the adventure HotDQ verbatim in my campaign, too much railroading encounters if I did. Plus I wanted the players to feel more responsible for the inhabitants by getting to know the...

Good stuff: 1. Streamlined combat system easy to grok 2. One roll for everything pretty much 3. The Druid and Monk classes is so very cool with nice art Turn off's 1. Half Orc Paladin. Really? Seriously? A huge turn off. I'm just not a munchkin type player I guess. 2. The klingon looking...

I dont think there was a full blown argument but an intelligent conversation between two people. This is a forum after all and aint a forum a place to air ones views? Perhaps it might get heated but that just goes to show how passionate people are about their hobby. No harm no foul I would think.

I do agree there are some differences between 1E and 2E but 2E is recognizable and familiar vs 3E to 4E you had two completely different versions. 4E was basically did not look or feel like D&D to me when I looked at the PHB. But once more different strokes for different volks.

I would say 1E and 2E AD&D were pretty much the same, TSR just wanted to get Gygax's name off the front covers. So essentially your looking at an edition that lasted over 20 years with very little change. 3E I would say is still going strong especially with Pathfinder picking up the gauntlet on...

link?

Ok, got a rogue in the group, so he decides to design a trap in conjunction with the rest of the PC's laying in ambush. In 3.5 you had Disable Devise which you can conceivably use as a possible skill base to build a trap at the DM's discretion of course. In 5E it is not as cut and dry, the DM...

I'm sure WotC is working on 6.0 as we speak and will release it in 3 to 4 years. Of course after you had spent 1000's of $$ on 5E gear lol

When ver 5.5 comes out next year, hopefully it will have better art. :p Scott

I do hope that WoTC includes an option for DM's to veto platemail wearing Wizards IE a player takes a couple of levels of fighter then multi-classes into Wizard, now that Wizard can wear heavy armor and cast spells. Look at the bottom of page 201 casting spells in Armor, if you are proficient in...

Oryan77 I do agree with many of your points, The Gnome art in 5E is awesome as is the Druid art on page 67 where as the Druid on page 64 looks like a Twilight wannabe, Anyway, the art for the Druid for the most part really inspires me to want to play a Gnome Druid. Unfortunately being the DM...

Probably why I like Tony D's art style, very whimsy feeling indeed. The art now in D&D books just feels angry and loud at times. Scott

Mooks Are are my fav class in 5E. Anyway I would say yes, they do add their ability mods to damage. The Mook does not get TWF style, they are given a number of attacks in either in their spec abilities or what order they choose. Scott

WotC shoulda hired Tony DiTerlizzi, his artwork is very evocative of D&D. Here is a proper version of a Tiefling that does not resemble a klingon: http://diterlizzi.com/home/games-gallery/#!lightbox[games]/13/ Or a Pally that looks like a Paladin...

My PHB smelled like it came right off the printing press with that nice new fresh paper smell. So no problems on my end. Scott

Hi ya- A couple of my players and I really liked some of the art in 5e, the Bar room fight page was very cool looking, the Full page art for Part one was also very cool, heck I kinda wish they used that artwork for the cover of the PHB because the PHB cover art sucked (what the hell is that on...
