    D&D 5E (2014) What's a monster to do?

    There is a 2nd Ed Reverse Dungeon deal, where the players are the monsters defending their lairs from mean adventurers.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons and the RPG Stigma

    Last jibe I heard was from an older chap I was working for, about 13 years ago, I was looking up something on the WotC/D&D site, and he leered behind me and said "…get a life." As for doctors, yeah, I have worked with/around quite a few, let's say, they can be socially…challenging and/or lacking…

    WotC Survey Result: Classes OK, Eberron Needs Work

    Yeah, and check out the 3rd Ed Tome of Battle, very easily converted to 5th Ed.

    WotC Survey Result: Classes OK, Eberron Needs Work

    Yeah, and to get a more 4th Ed like Avenger-Paladin, you could grant Unarmoured Defence (10 + Dex mod + Cha mod) in pace of armour proficiency. I have converted quite few 3rd Ed classes to 5th Ed: Binder Crusader Dragon Shaman Duskblade Factotum Favoured Soul Hexblade Incarnate Jester...

    D&D 5E (2014) Differently Sized Monks & Martial Arts Damage

    Yeah, I would think a 20th level Ogre monk would deal 2d10 unarmed strike damage (2d4 at 1st level). A Gargantuan 20th level Monk would slap you for 4d10!

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Creating Monster Disparity

    Good old eyeballing is key.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are you hoping to see in the conversion documents?

    While I was looking forward to it, it suddenly accrued to me, what would I would actually want to see, 5th Ed is so intuitively easy to convert pre-4th Ed material from, I don't really need it. I have been a converting maniac, since 2012.

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    I sincerely doubt we will see a fifth FR campaign setting book/boxed set. Talk about beating a dead horse.

    D&D 5E (2014) Length of peoples Campaigns?

    My longest campaign (started in 3rd Ed) ran from the summer of 2005 to spring 2010 (changed over to 4th Ed in summer 2008), it is now on hiatus, but when it resumes, it will be 5th Ed.

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    The one-handed orc deal (Pale Orc?), was just for the movie, right?

    D&D 5E (2014) 1st Level Character Hit Points

    There is some contention about 1st level character Hit Points (low), so, I thought of starting 1st level characters off with 2 or 3 HD, and then gaining their 2nd or 3rd HD, when they reach 2nd, or 3rd level, respectively. Sort of harkens back to the 1st Ed Monk and Ranger, starting with 2 HD...

    D&D 5E (2014) Convince me we're doing the Warlock wrong

    I find the Warlock to be gimmicky class that unfortunately found traction in 3rd Ed.

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

    I thought t was that illegitimate child it had in Thailand.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E inspired by B/X?

    Total, it's like BECMI and 3rd Ed had a kid (though, there is some 4th Ed influence, too, the good stuff, save ends, for example).

    D&D 5E (2014) Princes of the Apocalypse as source material

    I have only run a module once, in my 25+ years of DMing, but I own quite a few adventures/modules, so will pick this up, for other.

    The Realms WILL Be Updated!

    Matters not, to me, as I have never acknowledged The Time of Troubles or Spellplague. I find it best to keep a campaign setting's integrity, no busybody writer, edition changing crapola. The whole release a setting, like Planescape, and then ruin it (Faction War, Prism Pentad, Age of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Battlemap Vs. Theater of the Mind

    I don't see how touching an action figure, or what-have-you, would immerse you more and make it more realistic. I never witnessed minis being used until 3rd Ed, where I started using them religiously, I now like to mix it up, just sometimes minis really make me feel extra dorky (and un-immerse...
