    BLUE ROSE Returns, Championing Diversity & Inclusiveness

    I also hope this wasn't their big announcement for the AGE system. Blue Rose is a nice setting, but it doesn't seem like that big news. I own all the books and still run into several people that when they see the books in a store are unaware it has been around for awhile. It wasn't that big...

    A Third-Party 5E Setting On Kickstarter? Ravenloft-inspired DARKPLANE!

    I think he's just being over cautious. The only way he would be in any real trouble is if he has lifted whole sections from the references he lists. Most likely he doesn't understand copyright and figures to be safe if they have a problem with it he'll just remove the mechanics he uses, which...

    Do you have $6666? Rob Schwalb Launches Shadow of the Demon Lord!

    RevTurkey - I think a better way to phrase it would be they have 400 pages of draft material that covers everything thought of so far. Just because I have a draft of x number of pages doesn't mean I'll end up there. It is actually better to have more and cut out what isn't needed than to have...

    Do you have $6666? Rob Schwalb Launches Shadow of the Demon Lord!

    Oh, and only 11 short of the 1000 like goal.

    Do you have $6666? Rob Schwalb Launches Shadow of the Demon Lord!

    What I find interesting is that he is using achievements to also increase the size and they have nothing to do with paying for the product. Seems they are geared toward advertising, which is an interesting concept. Most of them are just posting to their page different things with the tag...

    So What IS Happening to Tabletop Roleplaying Games? Dancey & Mearls Let You Know!

    While I don't think they want the entire game to pan out in 20 mins, I do think they want to fix it so combat takes no longer than that. What D&D has to compete with now is entertainment that offers more for your buck than just a good game. Players want to play D&D, WoW, Elder Scrolls...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    But that's the thing. When looking at feats people are telling me "you want to take this one because it gives you a stat/skill bump, which is awesome when you're starting out." That's min/max thinking. Don't take something that doesn't increase a stat or skill. If you choose the plain human...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    The problem I have with it is everyone who thinks it is awesome to get the feat are still thinking in old edition terms when I talk to them. They are thinking min/max and that only forces the character to a focus that once it is outside it's element it is useless. 5e really seems to play to...

    Warforged, Kender, Multiverses, & Errata - An Eclectic News Summary!

    I for one hope they keep the player info in the free PDF so there is no reason for the players to buy the PotA book. I understand it will lower sells, but as a GM I don't like my players having access to the stuff I am running. That said I also hope that all the free stuff finds its way into...

    Green Ronin Announces DRAGON AGE, M&M, SONG OF ICE & FIRE, and more for 2015!

    It's not mentioned here, but they also hint that they will have a new campaign book for Fantasy AGE that will premier at GenCon that will be a big surprise. I am really hoping, but not holding my breath, that GR got the rights to Wheel of Time. I think they would do the series justice since...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    I see it more as a human thing because the longer lived races tend to be portrayed as more focused. Their life goal is to find perfection in their calling for the elves or further the purposes of the clan as the dwarves do. Humans adventures are always portrayed more as the free spirit, still...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    I don't think I'm missing much at all. Others have clearly pointed out what I'm seeing. At most it allows you to create a character who is above average at low level and then trails off through the rest of the game. Playing with the optional rules definitely is more advantageous to a player...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    The human bonus skill and feat come into play only if the DM allows it, thus the optional ruling. +1 to all the stats compared to what the other races get is weak. At best that only helps if you are rolling your stats because the point buy would end you with nothing but 9s in your weakest...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans, am I missing something? And what's up with half-elf skill bonus?

    I've looked over the races section and even with the optional rules for humans they don't seem to line up with the other races. What is the benefit to playing human? Also where is the half-elf getting their second bonus skill? So where are they getting those skills? It almost seems like the...

    Where's the News from Gencon?

    Friend of mine actually stumbled onto some news over at RPG Geek. It has some good info about Onyx Path which I hadn't heard as well as mentions a few other games in addition to the stuff we've already discussed in this thread. New edition of World of Darkness and all its variant titles coming...

    Where's the News from Gencon?

    It's just been perplexing that there hasn't been any real wide spread news about it beyond what's been mentioned here. Normally several blogs and even the forums here have something going on that people could follow. That was one of the highlights I like when I'm not able to attend in that I...
