    D&D 5E (2014) One Year of DM's Guild

    I made more in the last 5 days than I did in the last quarter of 2016. I dropped PWYW on 1 Jan. One of my titles is Copper, and I am convinced it's entirely due to PWYW. But out of all those "sales" I made less than $3 on that title since I put it up. Three. Dollars. And it's still moving...

    D&D 5E (2014) One Year of DM's Guild

    Speaking as someone who's getting started in offering work on DMsG, and who's looked rather deeply into marketing self-published work, I couldn't agree more. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and buy it. If you like it, at least rate it. And really, how hard is it to type a few words...

    Hello, all! DMs Guild is a wonderful resource for the 5E community. I'm really impressed how it's taken off. I've gotten a ton of great stuff from it for my own table, and have been adding some of my own work. Take a look, use what suits your fancy, and hopefully you'll tell me what you like or...

    D&D 5E (2014) First Official Homebrew Campaign Adventure - Need help with ideas!

    I don't think I can "THIS" sufficiently to show my agreement with it. The great thing about having it all be new is that you can have a variety of stuff prepared and still not railroad the players. Bang - here's the starting village, right there on the map. You have three different adventures...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Has D&D, and 5e in Particular, Gone Down the Road of Ubiquitous Magic?

    I agree, though I think we're kind of debating at cross purposes. For the purposes of adventuring - that magic which is useful to manipulating how the characters interact with the world - magic is rare and special. There are only so many wands of fireball and flame tongue swords. Cure wounds...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Has D&D, and 5e in Particular, Gone Down the Road of Ubiquitous Magic?

    I apologize for coming in late. Some topics take off so fast casual users like me can't keep up. I didn't read the entire thread, so if this dredges up some battle that's already been settled, I beg your forgiveness. This leaped out at me and begged support and elaboration. I can't really add...

    D&D 5E (2014) Advice for a newish 5E gamemaster

    I'm not a D&D designer so I don't know for sure. But conjecture is fun. ;) 1. Every class has to have a prime requisite statistic. Wizards have INT, Fighters have STR, Rogues have DEX. Why not CHA for Warlocks? 2. The thing that gives a Warlock her power is a relationship. CHA is the best stat...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Publishers] Now that the OGL is updated, what are you working on?

    I've got a lot of stuff sitting on my hard drive, as well as ideas in my head. I need to find an artist and cartographer...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is your preferred level of play?

    This right here. Couple of y'all are getting a little too "sound and fury," as a certain 20th-level Bard might put it. -=-=-=-=- I voted 5-9, because I assumed it was referencing a player's perspective. Before that and it's kind of "meh," along with some balance issues mentioned above. After...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is your preferred level of play?

    Clearly the Surfer. He'd philosophize Superman to sleep from boredom, then Galactus would devour the planet Supes was on. [ducking and running]

    D&D 5E (2014) In-combat reactions

    No, I'm not talking about "...as a reaction, you may..." rules. I'm talking about rules adjudicating how monsters react to PCs/situations. For example, when the kobold chieftain is slain, and a PC calls for the rest of the kobolds to surrender, where are the rules to resolve this interaction...

    D&D 5E (2014) rapier+dagger and/or longsword+dagger?

    That's a very, very good thing. I'd have that at my table. Hell, I'd like to play a version of that! :D

    D&D 5E (2014) rapier+dagger and/or longsword+dagger?

    This is sooooo close to perfect for me. The only thing I'd add is a restriction to armor types. I'd restrict it to light armor maximum. Is there something like this in the SCAG? I don't know, as I don't have it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fluffs or Feats? Your re-skinning thread

    That's kind of the definition of "feat." 1. An act or accomplishment of great courage, skill, or imagination; an achievement. 2. Obsolete A specialized skill; a knack. If the word-salad lets you do something beyond the ordinary, something special, it's a "feat." That's more than a re-fluff...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is it worth taking damage in order to do your stuff?

    That I'll grant. I can't square that. You've never played a contact sport, have you? :p I played rugby and hockey, and served in the US Army as a Ranger. Human beings are more willing to take HP damage than you imagine. Anyway. /hijack

    D&D 5E (2014) Is it worth taking damage in order to do your stuff?

    NB: I don't want to hijack this to muse on the intent of HP, but since we've gone there... I think you just hit on the head an issue which could use some official clarification. In most cases, I don't think HP signify real wounds. Rather, they signify fatigue. The more fatigue you suffer, the...
