    D&D 5E (2014) Amazon and the DMG: What's the story?

    Well, the first place to have them was in Italy long before either the "official" release date or the Wizard-partner-store release date. So they were definitely being shipped in Europe long before they should have been put on shelves.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is WotC working on now?

    Did they? I thought WotC essentially had nothing to do with those movies, since Sweetpea had the rights to them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Holy crap, that's cool

    Didn't realize this was a resurfaced thread. Read the first post. Thought, "yeah!" and went to click XP. Realized I'd already XP'd this thread. Would do it again if I could.

    Aw man, I think the Penny Arcade / PVP players are generally fantastic. I loved listening to them as Mike learned to play D&D for the first time, and Gerry is just a brilliant and interesting guy. If you're looking for a place to start, start with their first series, and try to listen/watch in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons: The "Dungeon Master's" edition.

    Can you say more about how they were making it out to be something different? I mean, quotes from developers that don't line up with the reality? I know there were a few things they'd intended to be in that had to be cut --- that always happens, but that doesn't seem like what you're talking...

    D&D 5E (2014) I Don't Have the 5E DMG

    I don't have mine yet either. For every other book, PHB, MM, and HotDQ I&II, and the Starter Set, I rushed out and purchased the book. And I'm happy I did, because it supported the local game stores (three different local stores, two of which really can use the support and the third is just a...

    Yesterday my fiancée told me he's her favorite DM. Then she guiltily looked at me and revised it to second favorite DM.

    D&D 5E (2014) New to D&D and want to DM a game

    Hey, has anyone perchance mentioned the Starter Set, yet? :-) I've never seen so much agreement on anything in an RPG forum thread.

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins to DM Rise of Tiamat session for Gametrailers

    Ugh. I'm almost an hour in and a few of the characters are making it a far from entertaining experience for me. Just so obnoxious. I haven't seen these folks play before, so I don't know if they're normally like this. Edit: It's getting better.

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins to DM Rise of Tiamat session for Gametrailers

    It's the Sea of Ice (I know that wording isn't quite correct) portion.

    D&D 5E (2014) On the healing options in the 5e DMG

    In my mind it all comes down to the difference between an RPG and a board game. An RPG system provides a framework, from which a group of people build a collective experience -- there is no winning or losing, whether or not goals or ambitions are accomplished. The more you make it about a set of...

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG excerpt: Carousing!

    No!! Not on an RPG forum, never! Seriously, people. You're perfectly correct in saying that "RAW it takes forever to complete when your PC isn't there", but get over it... every precious ounce of correctness comes of a pound of obnoxiousness. They clearly meant it adds three days to the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    I just learned that I can't both give experience and laugh at a post. It's a combination of the hobby and the web forums; really. People have to make a particular effort to be sensitive to each other on web forums, and sadly we gamers don't have a particular reputation for excelling in that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    I can empathize with the feeling of being burned, but I also see from the perspective of those who are saying that if WotC ultimately didn't like the direction this was going, it's better to cut off the partnership now. What gets me is that, unlike the TDT folks, WotC has told us nothing at all...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    How much mileage can a person get from a web-forum threat not to buy a product? People need to find better ways to get mileage in their lives. :erm:

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    I hope this is right; they did lead with "sobering but hopeful" and made it clear they're planning to continue moving forward in some way... that means ..well, there is hope. Ultimately more openness would make more fans happy. And if TDT gets out a good and useful product, then I'll still be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    Very Disappointing news. I'm really sorry to hear this Hobo the Delightful, but I'm hoping to hear about your future plans. Last weekend I played with my Character for the first time fully on the app, and it worked great. It was much improved after the last update. I guess I hadn't realized...
