    D&D 5E (2014) Monsters as PCs for 5th?

    I'm against it since most of the time the mechanics for it are pretty bad like Savage Species.

    "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." - Season 2

    For a show like this that I want to like it depends on what else is on at that time slot. I record everything on the DVR these days so if there is no big conflicts I'll record it and then watch it later. Unless it is one of a few shows that really have my interest which AoS is not when I do...

    "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." - Season 2

    I'm looking forward to it. There is a lot of crap on TV so it shines in comparison.

    The Strange and Numenera: Experiences and Resources

    Nice. Insult everyone who plays D&D and Pathfinder the two most popular RPGs in the world on a the most popular D&D fansite in the world.

    I hope the new "Dungeon Master Guide" talks extensively about playstyles.

    This doesn't need to be in the DMG it is better off as a blog post. It needs to be somewhere that can be accessed by players and DMs and no one needs to buy a book to get access to it. It also is a topic that does not need to be limited by page or word count. Play styles can be a very complex...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you buy an updated PHB every year?

    No, I would be more likely to find a different game.

    Kill Bargle!

    Anyone else use the evil wizard Bargle in your campaigns? I wanted to give some fun references to some old school NPCs so I introduced Aleena and Morgan Ironwolf to the group and then had Bargle chasing after them. I did have him destroy Black Eagle Barony though in a different way. The PCs are...

    D&D 5E (2014) Idea for SUPER Simple XP.

    You're worried about between game sessions? I figured this was to speed things up at the table. If it is math to be done in the week or two or more between sessions then even if we doing calculus you should have plenty of time.

    D&D 5E (2014) Idea for SUPER Simple XP.

    I'm not sure people consider using fractions simple. It actually looks like more work then the current system. I plan on using the base system when we try 5e but I will probably go back to the system we use for Pathfinder that everyone gains a level when it is appropriate for the campaign.

    X-Wing Minis

    There are many version of the Tie Swarm and this is the one I like best. The biggest problem is the need for a lot of Tie Fighters. I keep an eye out for the base set cheap and so far have been able to pick some up for under $20. Howlrunner --Stealth Device Backstabber --Stealth Device...

    X-Wing Minis

    This one is a work in progress. It works okay but I might be doing too much with it. Ibtisam --Push the Limit Kyle Katarn --Recon Specialist --Moldy Crew Garven Dreis --R5 P9 Tala Squadron The main idea is passing focus tokens. In combat since all but the Tala are six pilot skill you choose...

    X-Wing Minis

    Another non tournament squad I like for the Imperials is a little tough to fly. This can be fun with extra asteroids on the board to fly around. Darth Vader --Engine Upgrade Sootir Fel --Push the Limit Whisper --Veteran Instincts --Advanced Cloaking Device This squad is high on...

    X-Wing Minis

    The first one is not a tournament list. It is three x-wings from the base set and the X-wing expansion so I imagine most people would have them. Some of the upgrade cards are from newer ships but if you don't have them just make a proxy of it on a note card. I like the attack power of this squad...

    X-Wing Minis

    Squad building can be a pain. What I've done is on note cards write down different squad options that work pretty well and use a variety of ships. If you want to fly all X-wings use this one. If you want to try out the Falcon with some support ships then this one. If you want to use Imperial...

    is it me? FFG Star Wars

    If you find that you need a little more complexity there is also d6 Space which I think the PDF is free and I've seen copies of the hardbound book for as low as $5 at cons. When I ran Mini 6 last summer I mostly used it but I borrowed skill idea and other character option from the more complex...

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Disclaimer - Epic!

    Thanks, I do not remember ever running across a dinner invitation in there. I do not know how I could have missed that for the past thirty years.

    D&D 5E (2014) PHB Disclaimer - Epic!

    In there are references to many different modules but is "accepting a dinner invitation from bugbears" a reference to something I'm just not remembering?

    is it me? FFG Star Wars

    For a suggestion on what to play Star Wars with I would suggest mini 6. It is a free game so big plus there. It plays like the old d6 Star Wars but the dice don't get as out of hand as they could in that game. It is nicely simplified and very flexible of a system.

    Pathfinder 1E The next thing I would like to see announced is....

    I want to see more setting less rules. Pathfinder gets to bogged down in all these new feats and spells spread over dozens of books. I don't even buy the rule oriented books any more and in fact got rid of a few of them. I think the next Adventure PAth we do is going to be with a simpler game...
