    D&D Beyond Launches on August 15th for $3-6/m

    When I first saw the pricing stuff yesterday I thought it looked reasonable and was onboard. However, after thinking about it some more I have upgraded my opinion to thinking this is a bargain. I am definitely in for the three core books and the player's sub at launch. I was going to hold off...

    D&D 5E (2014) UA: "Greyhawk" Initiative

    I like the turn order changing each round. I did this with cards (re-shuffling each round). I loved it but my players hated it. :) Not sure I would like all the rolling this system entails.

    Pulling the plug

    Sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with 5e. I love it but understand others have different tastes. Definitely play what you enjoy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you play on a grid?

    I have recently picked up some of these (along with a pack of 5" ones). I like them so far but haven't used them much yet. https://www.amazon.com/Dry-Erase-inch-Dungeon-Tiles/dp/B016H0TNFY

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you play on a grid?

    I use a variety of methods with 5e. Sometimes TotM and sometimes minis. With minis sometimes I use a grid and sometimes I don't. If I do use a grid then I just draw a rough map. Sometimes I use a pre-printed map if I have something that is appropriate. I have a decently large mini collection.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Phase 2 and 3 are open beta!

    I love DDB as a reference tool to look up monsters, spells, rules, etc. very quickly and when I am away from my books. That is the main thing I want and that is already built very nicely (just waiting for the paid content). Everything else is secondary for me.

    D&D 5E (2014) To own 5E books or not to own 5E books that is the Question

    As others have said, using the SRD isn't a problem but pirated books are. My current group doesn't have this issue. Everyone at least had a PHB. My 4e group from a dpfew years ago there was a lot of pirating the DDI character builder (and the PHB before thenCB was available). I didn't like it...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you want in a published adventure? / Adventure design best practices?

    I prefer the adventures to reduce m prep time as much as possible. As a compromise between having stat blocks in the adventure and not is to have PDF reference sheets for each room with stats blocks, traps, treasure, etc. Maybe this could be a DMs Guild supplement for each adventure. It could...

    I googled him and recognized him as my avatar from the old WotC boards. I knew who it was.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are you a cat person?

    Ever since I was in a 1e game where the DM homebrewed a cat race, I have been facinated by the concept (the Lion guy from the Flash Gordon animated series was part of the fascination too).

    I have it but haven't looked through it in detail. However the Tome Show podcast recently did a review. http://www.thetomeshow.com/e/wilderland-adventures-review-tome-283/

    D&D 5E (2014) High Passive Perception

    I don't like comparing passive DCs. I like one side to roll. Although I convert the DCs to bonuses by subtracting 10.

    D&D 5E (2014) High Passive Perception

    They invested significant resources into getting that high passive perception. Let them enjoy it. When the party is ambushed they get to shine by not being surprised. Things like that.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Character Sheets are out, anyone seen what they look like?

    I have ordered a few copies of the player's basic rules on Lulu when someone has posted it. But I just put a book together that combines both the player's and DM rules with your cover. I ordered a copy so I will see how this turns out.
