    D&D 5E (2014) [Mini-Let's Read] Everyday Heroes, Character Creation & Game Design Elements

    To start things off, there aren't any rules for fire extinguishers or fire truck hoses.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Mini-Let's Read] Everyday Heroes, Character Creation & Game Design Elements

    In what would seem like an odd out-of-order place, the Chapter after Finishing Touches* is Equipment, with Feats being the next part. I suppose that makes sense, as Feats only come into play at 2nd level whereas everyone needs and uses Equipment. *This chapter covers basic stuff like...

    Same here. The movie sourcebooks are cool, but the big reason why I got into D20 Modern was the Urban Arcana sourcebook. Your review for this book helped put it on the radar for me, and I swear that I'm not trying to steal your thunder!

    D&D 5E (2014) [Let's Read] The Goblings

    Drive-Thru RPG Page Many portrayals of goblins show them as fearsome beginner-level foes, basically being orcs but short. But there have been more humorous takes on them, quite often in the form of adventures where they’re the protagonists. Pathfinder’s We Be Goblins is the most notable...

    One more thing I'd like to mention is that the Hedra Group's official site has a special discount link where you can get One Night Strahd for 50% off. I can't directly link as the site has some non-sexual nudity, but if you Google "Hedra Group One Night Strahd" you should find it easily enough.

    Act III: I’ll Be Back The Eclipse and much of Act 3 is the final stage of One Night Strahd, narrowing down the more diverse choices in Acts 1 and 2 into a funnel to the final boss. While the boxed text changes depending on where the party is in Castle Ravenloft in Act 2, the Eclipse is an...

    Act II: Crush Your Enemies Act 2 follows a bit of a different format than Act 1.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is there something akin to a "Ranger's Guide" for 5e WotC adventures?

    This isn't character optimization so much as making suggestions so that Ranger PCs feel like their choices are meaningful, as well as for DMs having a handy reference to tell players things like "oh, undead hardly show up in this module, you should pick something else as your favored enemy."
