    7 Years of D&D Stories? And a "Big Reveal" Coming?

    "Fair enough" that a division of a multi-billion dollar, international corporation leaves something sitting on someone's desk for four months because the employee can't make it to work? That's not what I called a reasonable explanation. You seem to conflate being transparent with not being...

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    If it were someone who only needed authority and not actual D&D knowledge, I would think they could pass it over or up to someone else to get it done. This is the edition that was supposed to bring everyone back home. So, one would think that having a conversion doc in place was a priority at...

    It's two weeks early for April Fools Day. :p

    D&D 5E (2014) So, 5e OGL

    Lots of variables, for sure. They did say they would be updating the Basic rules. Having not done any comparison, I'm not really sure if they have followed through with that.

    Might be good to have that across the inside top of the GM's screen. :)

    Player Engagement

    So, do you feel they have a sort of shorthand and ingrained knowledge of the setting now? That can be very useful for introducing new setting tidbits as well as for them to be able to spot the unusual things you introduce. :)

    Player Engagement

    In addition, how many players do you have at your RPG Tabletop games? What is the ideal number for you to have? What are the minimum and maximum number of players you can reasonably handle?

    D&D 5E (2014) WizKids ToD mini issue

    Yeah, that figure was kinda begging to have an extra arm from a WH 40K sprue glued onto it. :p Still, you'll get the one you wanted and that your son likes once all is said and done.

    D&D 5E (2014) So, 5e OGL

    FWIW, I think Paizo has more employees dedicated to their RPG line than WotC does.

    D&D 5E (2014) So, 5e OGL

    They did have a few updates to the SRD beyond the core rules (and very little OGC released via the OGL in their books) but they did revise the full core SRD for 3.5 and released it concurrent with the 3.5 core books. They added Epic stuff and Psionics, for instance, to the 3.5E SRD...

    I need some fantasy medieval slang

    Here are a couple of sources and then a couple places with discussions of same. Some of the places have words that are not used here mixed in among some other words one might use freely. Be careful if you have youngsters peeping over your shoulder or a boss who likes to do likewise but...

    Player Engagement

    GMs: Do your players have their heads more in the game or more on the game? Sometimes just getting enough players to gather around a table is enough but two sorts of players always seem eager to play: those who love to get into the game through their character's role and those who love to come...

    D&D 5E (2014) What separates a sandbox adventure from an AP?

    It was a bit of a jumble. I truncated the adventure for our group by leaving out the ruins and chopping the mines down to about half their size. Someone on these boards also came up with some plot hook cards that helped our group keep the NPCs and leads straight.
