    Chris Perkins: Reintroducing Settings in Ways that Surprise People

    I think we all have that, until we bleed out.

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you change a monster's hit points mid-fight?

    As a guideline, like everything in this game: no. In my 25+ years of DMing, I have fudged very occasionally, but usually to make it harder for the PCs (I have never ended a fight early), but I had an evil druid NPC that wild shaped onto a hawk and flew away (to maybe come back later), only for...

    Chris Perkins: Reintroducing Settings in Ways that Surprise People

    Perfect, absolutely dig, they just keep nailing it for me with this edition. There is no need at this point to release a fifth FR campaign setting book/boxed set, etc.

    Planescape 5E Planescape Campaign Setting

    Most of Planescape (my favourite setting) is fluff, so, no need, regardless! I have converted most of the major Planescape races and monsters (Bauriar, Dvati, Guardinals, Rilmani, etc) to 5th Ed, so I am good to go.

    WotC's Adam Lee discusses cinematic flair in a new Behind the Screens

    Ah, I can dig, my time is precious too, but I enjoy designing and converting as much as DMing/playing, just in a different way. Converted the Favoured Soul at work today (took less than an hour).

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you change a monster's hit points mid-fight?

    Bingo, I never prep more than one session for a campaign, as every session dictates what may come next.

    D&D 5E (2014) When do you think they will announce the next book?

    Maybe no splatbooks, just APs, which obviously can include splat-crunch (as PotA does).

    D&D 5E (2014) Which Region in the Forgotten Realms and which Book?

    The Shaar is Northern Africa (wemics, etc), the Native Americans are across the sea in Poscadar, in northern Maztica. There is also the continent of Katashaka, the Land of the Tarrasque (Africa), below Maztica, and you have Osse (the continent south-east of Zakahara), which is basically...

    D&D 5E (2014) When do you think they will announce the next book?

    It looks like they might be approaching it in a MtG, blocks format.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do premade adventures save prep-time?

    Not for me, I can prep an 8 hour session in about an hour. I have only run a module once in my 20+ years of DMing, and that was an impromptu one-off.

    D&D 5E (2014) Anyone else feel like the distinction between conjuration and evocation is really muddy?

    Me too; and ha, there is one school that never made the transition from 1st Ed to 2nd Ed: Possession.

    D&D 5E (2014) When do you think they will announce the next book?

    I do not think 5th Ed's "success" is reliant on releasing campaign settings. Also, WotC has released a ton of previous edition material as PDFs (which new, younger players might actually prefer - "Mommy, what is a paperback?").

    D&D 5E (2014) When do you think they will announce the next book?

    I love all of those settings, but thinking about it, the material already out there is eminently useable with 5th Ed, no real need for yet another FR campaign setting book/boxed set, we have 4 now.

    WotC's Adam Lee discusses cinematic flair in a new Behind the Screens

    One of the players packets has manoeuvres, and you can convert the ToB/Bo9S classes quite easily, I am having a blast converting to 5th Ed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Whats your Favorite Unpublished Setting?

    Ah, groovy, I have never heard of this.

    D&D 5E (2014) Whats your Favorite Unpublished Setting?

    Ralph Bakshi's film, Wizards, could be a fun mix of magic and tech, mutants and faeries.

    D&D 5E (2014) Whats your Favorite Unpublished Setting?

    There was the 3rd Ed OA, released in 2001.

    D&D 5E (2014) When do you think they will announce the next book?

    Depends how you approach it, like, GH, FR, DL, etc, exist in all Spelljammer campaigns, but Spelljammer does not exist in all GH, FR, DL, etc, campaigns.
