    D&D 5E (2014) Any interest in the not-quite-so-wild mage?

    It needs to be called Sorcerers gone Wild. :D

    D&D 5E (2014) The Champion. Needs Fixing?

    What is a "girlfriend" class?

    D&D 5E (2014) Any interest in the not-quite-so-wild mage?

    More options and less deadly and odd options are always good. I'd also like to see ways the mage can have a little more control of the chaos but at some kind of cost.

    D&D 5E (2014) How Will You Be Generating Stats in 5E?

    It will be 4d6 drop the lowest. There will be a safety net of some array they can take instead if they roll bad. There will also be a possible ceiling if a player works too well. It will be discussed with the players first so we can decide based on what everyone wants.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you like the simplicity of 5E monsters?

    I like it. THe book doesn't need to make an orc and hobgoblin that different, the DM can easily do that.

    D&D 5E (2014) Amulet of Health, Another Strong Item

    It looks like they are going to have items for each attribute that does this so does that make all attributes worthless? Also, these resources one spends on attributes can't be spent other places. Feats are optional so I'm ignoring those. Those point buy points can't be spent anywhere else so it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Contagion and Boss Fights

    Gen Con just ended, give the guy a few days to relax and get over his con crud. How easy to diseases spread? Sure giving one to the big bad to defeat him is great but battles can get bloody and then all of sudden the fighter gets sick but not until he is back in town and soon you have an...

    D&D 5E (2014) Amulet of Health, Another Strong Item

    And when things go bad for him the kobold that takes off running because he can sprint for the next hour before getting tired.

    D&D 5E (2014) How do the classes change a small town on a day to day basis

    A village of 500 might have one or two classed individuals. That would still be rare. I'm not talking about magical items. Obviously poor word choice on my part because I use the word item and people assume magical items. I'm talking about items in the class like abilities or skills...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do the classes change a small town on a day to day basis

    In the basic release Spare the Dying could easily do this. It doesn't matter how things were handled in other editions I just care about the current game. While some character with classes will focus on the combat not all will and it is those select few or specifically their non combat options...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do the classes change a small town on a day to day basis

    Under the assumption that characters with classes are rare how would each class alter the day to day life of a normal small D&D town. Are there some cantrips that a Wizard or Cleric could get that would change how a small town operates like create water does in Pathfinder? Are there class...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best Online Tools for Coordinating a 5E Group with a Busy Schedule

    Simple Machine Forums. I'm not the guy who set it up so I don't know specifics but that's what the label says.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best Online Tools for Coordinating a 5E Group with a Busy Schedule

    We use our own private message board. Each player has a private forum for information just for them and the DM can see all those private forums. It took a little while but the players now know that all buying and selling and spell selection happens on the boards. At game we jump right into the...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Edition -- Caster Rule, Martials Drool?

    Well, I never mentioned designers but since you brought that up we hold them not to higher standards but different standards. At my gaming table I don't expect the designers to listen to me. They are concerned with what is going on at a thousand gaming table and they have to answer to their...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Edition -- Caster Rule, Martials Drool?

    Actually, it is still really simple. Talk to the group about it. If a DM is not going to listen to the concerns of one of his players then he isn't worth your time as a DM.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Guidance] What, +1d4 to every check ever?

    If it is different from the rest of the players then either he's going to adjust the way he is playing or the other players are just going to leave him behind or something. If it disrupts the table then the DM needs to step in and say something. Running into players that play the game...

    D&D 5E (2014) apparently 7 out of 10 gamers are talking about 5.0

    Talking about something on the net does not always equal revenue. Sharknato was talked about hugely on twitter and other social media but the ratings for it were not good. There has been plenty of talking about 5e but mostly it seems people are just reading and analyzing everything without much...

    Hey DMs, what are your quirks at the table?

    My NPCs don't just live in the world but they can talk about the mundane aspects of the setting for hours. It's a way to mention different places and things in the setting but some times they just go on and on about the weather or the local politics or other items that really have no importance...

    D&D 5E (2014) All-Access Pass Possessors, I Implore You...

    What is an All Access Pass? I know it has to do with Gen Con but I didn't know they had different types of passes like that now.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Edition -- Caster Rule, Martials Drool?

    If this is something that really worries then just don't allow splatbooks problem solved!
