That would be pretty cool. I've never been a big fan of Raveloft, but I'd be up for playing the D&D equivalent of Groundhog Day

I would imagine that people picking up the books as holiday gifts and the good reviews of Out of The Abyss helped.

If we are getting Vampires and Giants, wouldn't it make more sense to release the Horror/Vampire themed product, closer to Halloween, in the fall ?

They are not going to announce any new product until 60-90 days before it's release. It allows them to work on a product until they are happy with it, and they believe that the short time between announcement and release is the optimum amount of time to keep people excited about it. I believe...

Why should D&D well support a play style that will fully ignores half the classes and all of the magic items that are part of the core D&D experience ? You are trying to impose huge limitations on a game that wasn't designed to accommodate them, and then complaining that it doesn't leave you...

People love a bargain. I had ZERO intention of shelling out $150 to play D&D 5th until I saw all 3 core books for $25 each. The price fluxuates, but it has been hovering under $30 for the last year, and every member of my gaming group has picked up a copy of the PHB siting the $20 savings as a...

I know they dropped the ball for not asking any questions, but the King himself should have spoken up, when they tried to walk away without asking those questions. King: I want you to rescue Leosin Party: Okay (and attemtps to walk out) King: Don't you want to know who Leosin is, or what he...

There was an Encyclopedia Arcane by Mongoose publishing for D&D 3E that covered Crossbreeding in detail. I'm sure it's technique could be adapted to 5E. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/1806/Encyclopaedia-Arcane-Crossbreeding?it=1 $3.99 There is a review, that covers some of the material...

I don't recall Dark Sun being Low Magic. Dark Sun was a meatgrinder that encouraged you to make extra characters ahead of time and EVERYONE had psionics.

My Barbarian/Fighter/Ranger/Cleric/Rogue 1/1/1/1/1 would disagree ;)~

That sounds like a feat TACTICIAN - Add Intelligence Modifier in addition to the Dexterity Modifier when making ability checks to determine initiative order.

The Backfire Effect When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger. http://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/06/10/the-backfire-effect/

No, they don't. Your attributes tell you what to add to a D20 roll when you try to do something, nothing more. D&D is not some PVP video game where ALL things need to be equal to prevent someone from geting an unfair advantage. This line of thought goes along with the people not being able...

Trust me, your first post was completley vague. If that was your intent, it was completely unclear that was what you were hoping for. Stats being overly unequal in 5E, especially when compared to previous editions is debatable. STR - Melee, Melee Damage, Saves, Athletics DEX - Finese Melee...

I really like these spells. Reminds me of the old Puppet Master Movies, and gives me an idea for a new villain to throw at the PCs....

Meh, I'm trained in various arts and I can easily hooking, or sweeping, someone's leg while holding a sword and shield, even if they are on fire, with no consideration too how much armor they are wearing. The opposed skill check makes more sense than an attack roll. It also simulates a shield...

Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but I cam across a link for a Fighter "Shield Master" subclass. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8vpzKeo1_7FdzdtelZIemI4WFk/view It just screams Captain America in D&D

The scout kit for fighter is pretty interesting. Mechanically, it's siminlar to the Batlemaster, but trades the combat special abilities for skills and survival abilities. Definitely an attractive alternative to Rangers.

It's an interesting system that looks like it works. The cards were a nice touch.

I was sold the moment I saw at will cantrips. It's like having unlimited uses of a handfull of 2nd edition 1st level spells. "So wait let me get this right, D6 hit points, and at first level I get to cast mage armor, which lasts 8 hours, get to throw 1d10 damage fire attacks every round...
