They must have put the cart before the horse. I too got the notification (Android). Given they have the webpage up, they must have planned to have the issue out, pushed the notification, and then got stalled somehow. Oh well. I do hope there are some nice articles there. I thought the last was...

Just wanted to say my first encounter rolls also yielded nothing.. From Triboar to Red Larch, across the Stone Bridge and down the river... nothing. Except twice I rolled an encounter. Both times... it came up Shepherds. Thinking of renaming the adventure Shepherds of the Apocalypse.

Interesting. You might tie some foreshadowing or hooks for PotA into your elemental castle adventure, too...

5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook I came back to RPGs after nearly 20 years away; to find a divided fan base and the vitriolic arguments known as the "edition wars". I picked up the 5e playtest, because my group consisted of myself and all entirely new players and I didn't...

If they've just finished up Phandelver, Princes of the Apocalypse might be the way to go... it will take a huge load off, with adventuring up to level 13, and it takes place just to the east of the Sword Mountains --- Conyberry and the Old Owl Well even show up on the map. This is what I've...

By your rules, I'm wondering what's left for the imagination. Hey, now we agree on something! More seriously... at this point the "argument" is no longer an argument. It's people who are playing different games arguing about the rules of those games as if they were the same game. They aren't...

DaveDash Comparing emdw45's style of play to "cops and robbers" is way off-base and insulting to many of us... accuse the person of DM fiat if you like, but there is no back and forth as you imply. D&D 5e clearly gives the DM the the authority to adjudicate what seems most reasonable at their...

I'm right there with you... well not exactly right there in the "few Gs" sense.. but I'm getting what I can. Nate's videos are just mind-blowing.

Thank you! Words can't express how obnoxious it is to see that first comment there. It's news because its very interesting to many people who play RPGs! Thank you for putting the time to put to put this article together. For me, it's some of the most interesting RPG news I've seen, and I'm very...

Fair enough, a "good buy" is inherently subjective and depends on perceived value versus available discretionary wealth, which are highly individualized factors. One could do a market comparison based on similar kinds of products and other products in the miniatures/rpg/wargaming market (in...

If you can't get the same quality at a lower cost, I think that is the definition of a good buy. Whether it's the right buy for you is a different question. For what it's worth, they just released the Streets Packs, which at $0.30 per square inch (unpainted "basic" add-on packs) are half the...

Are there comparable hand-painted modular and virtually-indestructible products at a lower price?

For those interested in Sewers, they just released some great pictures of what you can get with a Monster Sewer set, at $125 unpainted / $165 painted:

They've added door walls to the Roof add-on, so you get get quite a bit more mileage out of it now. For example, with a hamlet and a roof add-on, you can get four complete roofed buildings, half of which can be two-story. For people who are interested in seeing what they can build with...

I love the Caverns and I'm in on this, too. I probably won't use it a ton, but I don't care... it's so awesome.

Going through the first page of posts I was seriously tempted to complain about how a troll could generate pages of back-and-forth on an rpg forum; but then I got to the third page and am happy to say I stand corrected. I'm glad to see this thread devolved into something funny and interesting...

This tweet by Crawford from a little further down the page is the universal response when he and Mearls disagree. Mearls has made it very clear that he doesn't worry terribly about nitpicking "by the book" rules when he DMs, but goes with the spirit of things, and that this filters into his...

4 out of 5 rating for Spellbook Cards At first I was turned off by the sharp corners, but I decided to try a set and I'm glad I did. They're high quality, sturdy cards. They're not overly artistic, but they're not unattractive either. What they are is useful. With new players, the cards have...

This is exactly what I did. I've created one level of a dungeon this way, so far, which I'm planning on using tomorrow. If you follow it blindly, you'll get something that often doesn't make a ton of sense; but if you use it to generate content and then guide it with your own intuition, plans...

I'm so happy they finally have links for more convenient navigation. (Speaking particularly of spells, here.) I still don't know why they did not do this with the PDF files. PDF supports links, why not use them? I found there were a few navigational issues using chrome on Android (and on...
