    D&D 5E (2014) Hex-Skald

    Yes, it looks good. Good enough that my only quibble is editorial on a misspelling I sometimes make myself: s/b Viking in "descent", not "decent". Btw, I'm stealing this character.

    Draft Magic Item: Guardian Grimoire

    First, I really like your ideas here. However, it might be a good idea to build some limitations into the Guardian Grimoire. Given the number of pages required per spell by respective spell level, the size of such a spell-book might become prohibitive, especially with the addition of all the...

    D&D Conversion Races

    Being firmly convinced that one can never have too many subraces to choose from, I just wanted you to know I'm still including your versions as subrace choices for my players, along with the versions produced by others here on ENWorld and in published official products. For your goliath, I've...

    D&D 5E (2014) Firbolg Scout or Ranger, 7'9" tall... (Graphic)

    Ogier! As a fan of Robert E. Jordan's Wheel of Time series, and a once-upon-a-time GM for the 3.0 WoT RPG, you just warmed the cockles of my gnarly heart with this picture!

    Updated Warforged Homebrew

    I had downloaded this earlier when it was still on the DMs Guild site. I like what transcendantviewer has down with this, and recommend it to anyone who is not satisfied with the spare warforged that is all that WotC has put forward so far. Mind you, I really like warforged, and appreciate...

    New Magic Item: Greedy Grimoire

    What a wonderful transformation. I think Gygax himself would be proud of you for this adventure idea.

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    User_Undefined; A two-fer! And both well-told. Your warlock's story is the sort to keep a nightmare well-fed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    You had me at Primeval Thule. Kudos on the origin tale!

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    I thoroughly enjoyed this little tale - especially the linguistic note on the meaning of Leth'ael's name. The ties to the Hebrew language (for example, the name Ariel meaning "Lion of God") brought Tolkien to mind, of all things. Not bad, if you managed that!

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    This one came about by way of the recent Unearthed Arcana piece on the Artificer class; from threads on EN World by QuietBrowser's and transcendantviewer's individual takes on the Warforged race; from a "History of the Nentir Vale" document compiled by an unnamed fan of the game (the document...

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    Some players provide just a line or two to cover their character's backstory, but I've rarely been satisfied with that. I might settle for a mere couple of paragraphs, but I often find myself writing something longer; once, I ended up writing a short story entirely about the PC's mother! [I...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance: Is it possible to run a Dragonlance game using the current core rules and material?

    Regarding playable character races in Dragonlance that do not have options in the 5e, other than the Minotaur, 13th Age has published two products converting player races to 5e rules. Of interest as PC races on Krynn, Centaurs and Minotaurs are included in "Midgard Heroes for 5th Edition"...

    Played AD&D yesterday (using Appendix A for a random dungeon)

    For years, I've looked at the "Good-Evil" axis as being more of an "Altruistic-Selfish" spectrum instead. Most of us move back-&-forth on that line, having both times of better interactions with others and those moments of being a self-serving jerk. Our innate sense of fair play shows up in a...

    Played AD&D yesterday (using Appendix A for a random dungeon)

    Way back when, I took part in a poetry and songwriting workshop. There were a number of simple ways we were taught to help us jump-start our imaginations when they were stuck in idle. One of them was to build up a collection of photos clipped from newspapers and magazines. When in need of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd death options

    I like this, and celebrate your imagination. One quibble, and I might be mistaken, but I believe Ioun is a female deity.

    D&D 5E (2014) Points of Light setting and current cross-over strategy: Round peg in the square hole.

    So ... a lot of "canon-fodder" in this Thread, but it seems that the battlefield is starting to quiet down. I expect a murder of crows is about due now. ;)

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: What's up next?

    -Serpent (Yuan-Ti) bloodline. Yes, this. On that note, I'm still hoping to see a reptilian take on Shifters. 4e had a way of creating such a PC. -Genie bloodline & Elemental bloodlines. There's a group on EN World who have been working to develop both of these ideas for a 5e version of...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: What's up next?

    Not even 5 minutes ago I was thinking about a pun on the Lone Ranger - "The Rogue Ranger". I'm just trying to to figure out how to warp the Lone Ranger's parting cry of "Hi-ho, Silver - Awa-a-aaay!" into something along the lines of "Hide Yo' Silverware? - Too La-aate!!!"

    Unearthed Arcana Latest Unearthed Arcana Introduces Rogue & Ranger Archetypes

    ... and termites. And carpenter ants. And crazed gamers with chain-saws who've stumbled into the wrong game, because they heard that "here be zombies".
