    D&D 5E (2014) Sacred Cow Bites The Dust.

    I'm still a purist who still gives XP. But my players do not seem to notice it. So I suppose the cow is dead, but it just doesn't know it yet.

    Custom Treasure Card maker using Magic Set Editor (MSE)

    The game and file style were updated from the original one upload -- it should be the last choice of dragons. If you downloaded the file when I first posted it in april 15, you will have to redownload the newer files as they have been updated.

    Update widgets in the Downloads Resources page do not appear to be working

    It does not appear that the Recently Updated widget is working on any of the Downloads pages. The widget has the same data as New Downloads. Is this something that can be fixed?

    Custom Treasure Card maker using Magic Set Editor (MSE)

    Attached is one of my treasure collections for the magic set editor using my template. Does this help? I actually had to create a "legend" card to keep track of how I was using the card symbols.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragging a fallen comrade to 'safety' isn't safe

    I would think that dragging someone out of combat would be done from a position beyond an opponents reach. So, in such cases this would not be a concern (nor would the extracted player provoke attack of opportunity from the enemy as he is no longer an active opponent). As for moving a fallen...

    Improved reading skills - tons of materials to support the game (essentially short stories and technical reading) Increased vocabulary - new terms not only related to gaming, but also cultures, history, politics, trades and crafts, occupation, etc. Improve speaking skills - game is base on...

    Angrboda's Pen This pen is a quill made from the feather of a Roc and once belonged to the Cloud Giant Sorceress Angrboda. The size of the pen makes it impossible for any creature under the size of medium to use. Medium and Large creatures are required to make a strength check while crafting...

    Benefits of playing D&D

    One of the players in my game group ( a senior citizen who came into the hobby about 5 years ago) was surprised to find himself defending his enjoyment of the game to his peers. He does recall vaguely the stigma that was once applied to the game, but know little about it as he was not involved...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help: Getting rid of spell slots

    First, I think the spell slot system is fine. I tend equate the spell slots to mana (or mana chunks) that explain the spell casting in a way that seems rational to me. That said, I do like the idea of a simpler formula system that does not require looking at charts and tables. Being an old...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why can’t I find anything wrong with 5e?

    I would have to agree with all above. As a system, 5e is pretty forgiving and accommodating. Any problems I've ever had with this system has been self-inflicted. (misread rules, using old rules by mistake and habit, did not adjust encounter/adventure design to group play style/composition...

    When does a TPK occur?

    I agree. I prefer to retire and place the characters in the world. These become special NPCs that the players themselves can control on special occasions. They become contacts, patrons, trainers, and quest givers. In rare cases, the retired character still levels up on their own and gain...

    New Treasure Cards

    Thanks for the feedback. The rarity can be done several ways. There is a drop down menu in the center bar to list rarity. However, the first option is a blank space, so it doesn't have to portray the rarity, but if it is not in the drop down, it is also not on the database. I can add an...

    I'm young but I play d&d

    You are probably going to get lots of different advice here, all of it trying to be helpful. A lot will depend on who is in your group and who is your DM. Without knowing any of the details of your group or knowing you personally, my advice will have to be a bit generic. A worthwhile start is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Does a monster "know" when a PC is dodging and vice versa?

    I agree that it should be obvious to both PC and monster, obvious that it happened, not necessarily obvious that it is going to happen. It is all part of the theatrics and tactics of a melee fight.

    Player vs Player PC death

    Ah, that is the replacement text for when I send using a cellphone. Normally it says something like "Sent via EN World App using Samsung blah blah blah." I probably should adjust that.
