    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks About... Everything! Upcoming Storylines, Products, Staffing, Other World

    This is largely conjecture. Also, a decline in interest in additions due to format is not equivalent to an lack of passion for the hobby as a whole - in fact I would that being turned off of additoonal becuase it doesn't suit your particular tastes is an abundance of passion for the hobby. But...

    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    It could instead of course be that more people are actually playing homebrew or realms. I wonder about the realms. I make homebrew game ideas all the time and they're always different from standard fantasy. The last one was 'caveman tribe against Alien invaders in icy ruins of once great...

    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    Yeah, I thank my lucky stars I married a gamer, it means pretty much all discussion eventually revolve around RP at some point. We met when she was working in the FLGS. Also, given that she's a second generation RP gamer (her dad played in university when D&D came out and still does) our kid is...

    Which D&D Settings Do You Play In?

    Man this would have been harder a couple of years ago. I was in like five games all in different worlds. Since my kid, I'm only playing my wife's homebrew (for D&D, we've managed to fit a few other games in, just)

    RPG Evolution - D&D Goes to Work Part I: Adventures in Resume Writing

    I tend to use D&D only in interviews and then I pitch it as a community projects. But then I've used D&D as a social project for building confidence in young people/helping teach autistic people social conventions. So I'm not really dressing it up. My wife had to give a 'Micro teach' in an...

    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks About... Everything! Upcoming Storylines, Products, Staffing, Other World

    Things I'v taken from this that haven't been mentioned so far: 1) The 'Settings' thing seemed to indicate they are thinking of publishing other settings but like maybe that'll be one Adventure path in every four-six and they will always return to the realms after. If you read 'other worlds'...

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    I am realising that UA is probably never gponna be about Monsters at any point, which sadens me. Also Underdark options now most of us are way past the character creation part of a satoryline SET IN THE UNDERDARK? Clap Clap for the timing. Having said that I do like all of the material provided.

    Unearthed Arcana Light, Dark, Underdark - November's Unearthed Arcana

    I'm stealing the hell out of that last sentance as an idea for something. Also on a 'High Price' note , could you play it like the patron hold you to an impossibly high or 'holy war' standard? Like you eventually have to do things like forsaken all material wealth or exist on sunlight alone...

    White Wolf Bought By Paradox

    I dm'ed campaigns with bits from the core games together and never really had a problem with combinations of characters (some games where, say 'pure vampire' or 'pure werewolf' but others were one or two types mixed) I just used my common sense and it seemed to flow fine. While you could say...

    White Wolf Bought By Paradox

    I really hope that paradox keeps onyx path on board because if anyone has been keeping the world of darkness flag flying. Terminating that relationship would really anger the fanbase and turn people against them. Given that so far almost no money has been made from any kind of world of darkness...

    D&D Does Digital Part I: MUDs & MMORPGs

    Man, MUD's. I remember reading all about them as a kid in GM magazine. I wanted so bad to be old enough to take part in them. I imagined my adult life to be full of MUD's and Play-by-mail games. How naive 80's me was.

    Here's That Official Conversion Document You've Been Waiting For!

    I really thought we needed it until I read it then and realised I could have done almost all of it myself. It lack specifics in the monster department - which bugs me. A little chart for hit points would have gone a long way, for example. Having said that, it's not a bad effort. I think to have...

    Urban Bounty Hunter from SCAG Courtesy of Extra Life

    Well, the mastermind class just made me want to buy the book. It has stuff that is great if you have a game with little combat. It'd be nice to see more of that.

    Status effects/conditions

    years ago, I spent most of a weekend long session unable to attack anyone. As a frontline fighter, this meant I did very little. I was basically a piece of scenery that could be positioned to prevent flanking and cause distractions. It wasn't much fun.

    So Totally missed that part of the description. :P

    Greenflame Blade Cantrip from SCAG, Courtesy of EXTRA LIFE

    Wouldn't the sneak damage be dealt to the original creature, while the flame damage would be applied to the second? How does that stack?

    Here's That SCAG Table of Contents!

    I'm upset the 'History' is only like 4 or so pages long. That's not gonna fit a lot in. Or make it all very vague. I am stupidly excited about Duregar as player race for some reason (now we know that because it's announced as a goal) and now want to be a player so I can play a duregar outcast...

    Would You Get A D&D Tattoo?

    I've got a tattoo but I don't think I'd get a D&D one. I know a few people who have pictures of there characters as such though. Edit: Just remembered a badassgaming tattoo my friend got done. It was on her feet. they were red D10's that looked like cherries from a slot machine (so in pairs and...
