    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    I would partially agree. Not that D&D 5e isn't good but it lacked the feel of what D&D was during TSR reign at the helm. I guess TSR went down under isn't what Feargus is trying to comment but the hobbyist approach. Not sure how this can be applicable in today's context but it is the truth. Even...

    WHAT'S IN THE BOX? A Look Inside The ELEMENTAL EVIL Board Game!

    I got nearly everything on D&D (except 4e)...from TSR to WoTC. Honestly, TSR did more for the franchise than WoTC ever did (or they did at the beginning). I am already done on being "loyal" towards this gaming system...until at least it becomes again a hobby first...business second....guess not...

    R.A. Salvatore Launches RPG Kickstarter

    I own the D20 versions of the Demonwars gaming books...very good stuff. Edit: Though I do hope that RA can bundle the print with the PDF and offer it as a single price...

    [Updated] Chris Sims & Jennifer Clarke Wilkes Let Go From WotC

    As an attorney, you should know that corporations normally give politically correct reasons other than layoffs (e.g. restructuring) - yet it amounts up to the same for folks who were let off the payroll, a layoff. Honestly, I get really peeved that few bother to see things as it is - business...

    RPG Products So Bad They're Good!

    I own this module and actually ran it once, many years ago. As far as memory serve me (and I should think quite well enough as I even remember the game session for the B8: Journey to the Rock), this is quite a good module. Sometimes, with all these modern days adventure modules (e.g. PF...

    Covers Preview for Elemental Evil Adventurer's Handbook and Princes of the Apocalypse!

    What?! Say what?! These are set in the FR?!!?! OMG!! Why oh WHY? If they wanted materials, can't they create more instead of taking something that we fans cherish and warp it? Let's see how it goes - hopefully, it will not be an utter flop like the previous series (and to think that I held...

    CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR - Is This The End, Or Is There More To Come?

    Just dump and can it - not worth our trouble or time over it. Sooner or later, once WoTC releases the OGL, the market will be flooded with such E-tools from very basic macro-based excel files to sophisticated applications. What Trapdoor is doing now with PF doesn't give us much in return and...

    11 Times 'The Hobbit' Is Just Like a Game of 'Dungeons & Dragons'

    Actually no - that's not just a natural 20 from Bard but a called shot. Edit: By the way, D&D normally don't play with such epic feel

    What Happens If CODENAME: MORNINGSTAR Doesn't Fund?

    Fully agree with almost all the posters - Trapdoor definitely went in thinking that just because (a) they are kicked out by WoTC, (b) they offer an alternative to WoTC and we (the public) have to support them. Just like a small software company appearing on the market and said that unless we...

    D&D 5E (2014) On the healing options in the 5e DMG

    The "gritty realism" option in the DMG felt somewhat slapped on as an afterthought. I mean, the designers can actually write up a whole lot more into this than merely tweaking the short and long rest duration. Anyway, that's their call but I felt let down. I'm going to house-rule it and I...

    D&D 5E (2014) On the healing options in the 5e DMG

    MechaPilot: Dude, Sailor Moon is somewhat right. There are simply too many inconsistencies in the D&D system regarding the hit point and healing mechanism behind it. Let's not take stand and slag it out and try rationalising it one way or another but take a step backwards and see this...

    D&D 5E (2014) On the healing options in the 5e DMG

    Problem is, to get poison that causes fatigue etc needs to prick the skin which equates to meat. Wait, to state my stand, I'm also of the camp that hit point isn't totally meat. It's a mash-up of everything including meat (that's why I house-ruled the hit point system of D&D 5e with bloodied...

    D&D 5E (2014) On the healing options in the 5e DMG

    Bone Naga causes poison when it hits (2d6+3) plus 3d6 poison damage. Carrion Crawler causes poison when it hits (1d4+2) plus save or be poisoned which causes paralyzed. If a character gets hit by either of this monster, how will hit point be defined? Fatigue? Stress? Winded? Luck? Or meat...
