    D&D General A paladin just joined the group. I'm a necromancer.

    I get the sense - and hopefully I'm right - that many of you have never experienced up close and personal loss and don't understand the significance of a grave. It's bad enough dealing with the fact that the once cherished, warm and familiar body of your loved one has been subjected to the...

    D&D General A paladin just joined the group. I'm a necromancer.

    According to RAW, as pointed out above, a Necromancer is unabashedly evil, essentially a monster doing things counter to any decent faith. What you're describing is being a dude of Evil alignment - I think there's more latitude there. However, if roleplayed faithfully as someone of extreme...

    D&D General A paladin just joined the group. I'm a necromancer.

    I learned my lesson long ago - don't make evil characters. For most people, this is a game about heroics - and it's really best to play along. By choosing to play a "monster" character you've injected a dissonance into the table - other players' characters should want to murder you but of...

    ICv2 Reports 23% Growth In RPGs in 2019

    Coming soon: ICv2 Reports 5000% Growth In RPGs in March 2020 This is great to see after the lifeless pit the RPG market became after 3.5. PF2E and 5E complement each other really well I find. Great systems, carefully designed that cater to specific audience or mood.

    Yes that's true but it is a much higher CR creature.

    D&D 5E (2014) No Living Statues in 5E?

    If anyone is looking for an official substitute for the Living Statue in 5e take a look at the Stone Cursed from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

    WotC Brand New D&D Video Game from WotC's New Acquisition Tuque Games

    Like a lot of you I'm a bit skeptical but I think we should give these guys a fair shake. IMO the CRPG genre (assuming that is what they are making) is in desperate need of new ideas. I'd expect them to play it safe on their first release but with some success who knows. I'll be following...

    Check Out This Preview Of Chivalry & Sorcery 5th Edition!

    I wonder how this compares to HarnMaster, which seems to cover similar ground.

    The One Ring 2nd Edition Is Coming!

    Looks like it - also what does this mean for the 5e stuff I wonder. Either way, Cubicle 7 always delivers on expectations if not schedules :cool: so I'm stoked.

    New D&D Show From Daredevil's Deborah Ann Woll

    Yup same here - in my case I can't get past ancient social conditioning around the RPG hobby. So I'll never watch but I'm super glad she's doing this.

    Is this event open for discussion here? If it isn't I would kindly ask Jeb to remove mention of it from the post in the interest of fairness.

    A "Bright" Future for a Shadowy Game

    This fits quite well with an obscure 2003 WOTC D20 supplement from the 3.0 era called Urban Arcana (wikipedia link). It was a campaign setting for WOTC's previously published D20 Modern rules. Like Bright it is essentially Shadowrun without the cyberpunk. The D20 modern rules had some rough...

    The Power Of Print On Demand

    I'm an RPG collector, 'scholar' and fanatic with thousands of RPG books in my collection. I ordered DragonLance Adventures on POD to gauge the quality and decide if this is an option for filling some gaps. I have to say I'm *very* impressed at the quality of the print - the hardcover is hard...

    Far as I can tell the designers don't, you know, actually have kids. No thanks.
