"River. Sea. It's on da water ain't it…" Fulgrim replies to Elenka. "Least I standa' shot at swimmin' to shore if we on da river!" "Itsa' pleasure, Cap'n." returning the Captain's handshake with a firm grip. "Wine? Fulgrim replies. "I thought only dem elves and humans 'ere fond of da wine." he...

I do have a make or break issue for my adoption of 5e. While I am a fan of the OGL, I am willing to admit there is likely a compromise. So rather than say 5e has to be released under the OGL, I will say what I need to facilitate my adoption of 5e. I need access to the rules on my terms. That...

Do you have to have a DDI sub to get the data for Hero Lab for 4e character generation? I haven't used it for 4e, so genuine question. While a fan of the OGL, I do believe there is a middle ground that could serve the customers as well as WotC. Hopefully if they don't go OGL for 5e, they do...

I voted for 5' squares with measurement in feet. That is largely because that is what I am used to and have played with for a long time. With that said, I would be fine with yards or meters as well as long as talk about them in measurement and not squares.

Doh! You are totally right. Yes, I am in for a splitting in on a healing wand.

Fulgrim is near broke at the moment. I have 30 gold I can contribute at the moment. I would gladly contribute my fair share as we earn some treasure in this adventure though, Fulgrim just doesn't have the money to front beyond the 30gp right now. If it helps, I could sell back one of my potions...

I enjoy the theorycrafting discussions on various discussion boards and stuff. A large amount of the the nitpicks and in-depth looks at RPGs never really come up during actual gaming. In my mind I tend to keep them as two separate things. The discussions here are about detail and analysis...

Origins weekend and a ballet recital will be making me scarce from later this morning until Sunday.

Fulgrim approaches the ship with some hesitation in his step, he pauses to watch the gentle waves wash up against the wooden hull as the gulls circle overhead cawing into the wind. He lets the salty air blow over his shaved head, rustling his beard slightly. "Dis ship really de best way?"...

Nope. I suspect we won't see any real licensing stuff until much, much later.

And that's cool - I can understand if it didn't meet your expectations that you would be disappointed. It looks like fun to me and am anxious to pick it up and funnel some of my players through it!

The playtest wasn't built to prohibit it. With as many kobolds as there were it would have been easy to say that a few of the kobolds had learned broken common and been able to communicate. These are decisions and judgments the DM is free to make. Adapt and tweak things. It is going to take...

The thing is pirates are going to pirate. A quick search now turns up plenty of 4e PDFs. So they still haven't prevented piracy, but managed to disappoint and frustrate customers that would *pay* for PDFs.

Seemed convincing enough to me. It seems you have more of an axe to grind with Joe's decisions. That is fair enough, but the post I linked to seems to be enough justification to me to include them.

To be precise yes, but TotM isn't about being precise as you note below. Yeah, or doorways, a gap between boulders, a narrow pathway, etc, etc.

Sorry - even as I closed the tab earlier, I thought maybe I should have linked it! Here is the link: Goodman Games • View topic - Thoughts on a simplified SRD game. The Death, Dying, and Healing section and Character Classes section in the post are most relevant. There is some discussion...

Yeah, I have heard a few complaints about that as well. But to hear interviews with him they were sort of included to bring back the fascination with funny looking dice. Back in the day we were all new to the d4's and stuff. The funny dice in this game hope to do the same. We'll see. I will...

You should get an email if you signed up for the test. I suspect they are staggering the emails though as people were reporting receiving emails with the survey link and I didn't get mine until hours later. Also check your spam folder for the email address you signed up with. Some of Wizards...

I think this is a valuable point. The rules we are looking at are made to be flexible. Does a DM really want flanking? Then hand out advantage to what you consider flanking. The rules this time around seem much more a framework and tool for the DM to use and tweak as he sees fit for their game.

Excellent points! So many possibilities that don't involve strict mechanics to support.
