THIS! Short Rest is 1-8 hours. Long Rest is 8+ hours. You're welcome to rest for 4 hours, but you get no extra benefit. It's just one, single, solitary short rest. Now, you can play it like you can string multiple short rests if you like. That's what we call a house rule around these...

I was promised disco balls, thumping beats, and a bag of x. /ravequit

There is only less than a 1% chance that my wild mage will fireball the party! This is an outrage! /flamequit

A friend introduced me to D&D sometime between 1980 and 1981. The closest place was a hobby shop (model trains, war games, D&D) that was a 30 min bike ride. Later you could find stuff at Sears. Later still it was comic shops, dedicated gaming stores, and big bookstore chains.

Looks like a Ranger with an animal companion.

I don't think this contradicts what I said that they scratch different itches. The location of those itches may be adjacent, but I still think they are different itches. I certainly don't get the same feeling from computer games, but I'm a sample size of one so what do I know. Thanks for...

NOBODY is suggesting that it equals PORN. People are suggesting that it doesn't look realistic. That's very different.

That's been an issue for the last two decades. I believe TTRPGs scratch a different gaming itch than CRPGs, and I think products like the 5e Starter Set and PF Beginner Box do help.

If I was able to figure out D&D enough to play back in the day, then I'm pretty sure kids can figure out a free Basic D&D pdf nowadays. Honestly, when I think back to my early days. We were playing D&D, but not by RAW. The bits of rules we didn't understand we just glossed over or came up...

I can pretty much guarantee that a little bit of side boob is not the reason why I continue to play this game after more than three decades. If I want side boob I can find it elsewhere in massive quantities. In fact, I can find full on boob as well. To think that a lack of side boob is what...

I believe 5e already has this Skinspiration Point mechanic built in. ;)

From mearls via twitter... Starter Set is heading for a reprint. That doesn't tell us if it's selling well or if it was a lowball print run, but either way it's a good sign. In other news, the MM is done! Yay!

That mace looks like a pine cone! /flangequit

I saw draft and homebrew in the OP... but where's the beer?

I didn't read a lot of Dragon during 2e. I spent most of the 2e era playing other games and getting into different kinds of fun. I came back to D&D for 3e.

Hot Tub Time Machine! ::goes off to create a homebrew spell Mordenkainen's Hot Tub::

Oh... remember the issues of Dragon that came with a whole mini board game? I loved those! Stuff like Echohawk's Monster Encyclopedia would be awesome in Dragon, especially if it was accompanied by a revamped Ecology column.

Like Agamon above, I feel Dragon is at its best in the pieces that are fluff heavy. Sure, there is probably no getting around system mechanical bits making their way into Dragon, but I would much rather that be the exception than the norm. And if they do make it into the magazine, I would...

I don't want Dragon turned into the monthly crunch book. That's what it essentially turned into during 4e (and yes, I'm still a DDI subscriber, mostly for the tools). If Dragon is resurrected make into a magazine that's worth reading. If I never see a new feat in Dragon it will be too soon.

I can't be the only one that plays D&D at the local pub? ;) By pub I mean the basement at the FLGS.
