One of the tricky things with any statline for Drizzt is that he does thing in his stories that would seem impossible at 8th, 15th, heck even at 20th level. He's really inherently a powerful NPC that gets to bend and break rules, not a PC that needs to follow them.

That's pretty much it, there are definitions in labour law (depending on where you live) that cannot be opted out of even if employer and employee both would like to. This creates a situation where someone can agree to work as an unpaid intern or volunteer, even sign that they agree to do so...

That is fantastic! The whole concept of "maintaining a visual theme" is something a lot of publishers don't give enough weight to, the one thing that really stands out to me from big publishers like WotC, Fantasy Flight, and Paizo isn't so much the quality of their art but rather the commitment...

Oh I didnt realize these were draft pages, I thought they were just excerpts.

Im really intrigued by this setting but man these layouts are dark and dense. I find myself getting really picky with layouts these days when I see more and more small publishers investing in that element of the project. When the layouts seem thrown together or clumsy thats a big turn off...

I'm not familiar with these Mystara gazetteers you speak of. I do have the Inner Sea World Guide for Pathfinder which has a gazetteer for every nation...but I really think it is kinda useless on its own. They cover a couple dozen large regions but with too little detail for my liking. I don't...

That would be pretty cool, I like the travelogue format of the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide, it struck a good balance between talking about the politics of an entire region and giving setting specific plot hooks for the individual locations within that region. The one thing the SCAG was missing...

The people attached to this movie make it seem far more legit than I ever imagined a D&D movie being.

And I think people are more savvy/decided on where they spend their money today too. I won't even consider buying physical books anymore unless they are top quality productions, and Im applying that rule more and more to PDFs as well.

A legendary monster like Strahd is built more like a PC than a standard creature. I like that he has a bunch of versatility in the form of lots of powers, it is fitting for someone who needs to be a long term rival for a party of PCs.

The real gothic horror comes into play when a character has that letter...but their father is still alive...dum-dum-dummmmm

That quote in the DMG is part of the Shadowfell section, so it seems to be a sealed of portion of that plane. A plane within a plane if you will.

Ahhh thanks, I missed that.

At the beginning of the article where they lay out the design thesis it says: "Psionic disciplines are now available to all mystics, regardless of mystic order. However, your order grants you a benefit for using its associated disciplines." Is there a benefit that only activates when using a...

This is much more difficult to do in 5e, by design they left out the fiend and undead type weaknesses. There are also far fewer spells and class abilities that specifically target them. I dont think you can make a anti-undead build that is substatially more effective against undead over any...

Barovia has actually already been very briefly described in 5e, on pg. 51 of the DMG it is described as being a prison domain within the Shadowfell, so it does already have a "canon" location in the cosmology.

I'm glad to see that Fantasy AGE Bestiary and Companion book, they should be cool. I have to remember to see if the game store a town over can get the core book in for me and eventually these new one's too for a reasonable price. I would order them direct but being here in Canada its like $29...

I think we might see Scion 2e from Onyxpath before the end of the year and that has me super excited. I guess Exalted 3e could be on the list again this year, still technically isn't up for sale.

I have a feeling the game we have seen will never see the light of day as anything more than a bare minimum of what backers were promised, I can't figure on what investor could possibly be interested salvaging it. My guess would be some other company wants the Pathdinder license Goblinworks...

I see a lot of similarities between these unauthorized "fan-made" systems and the "fan-made" superhero movies you see looking for support on Indiegogo all the time. With the movies in particular the creators are always looking for the attention of the right's holders, as if the quality of the...
