I don't think we will and in general I'm pretty happy about that. Whereas a players guide tends to enhance creativity because everything is written as a point of view of a narrator and can be used or ignored as needed, campaign guides tend to be a bit heavy handed and tell you how things...

For me I am very happy with this as a players guide. Well written, interesting narrator views (I particularly like the non description of Evermeet), just the right amount of crunch. I'm not sure I want a single equivalent of a campaign guide as there is too much content to ever do it justice in...

Yup, there is no getting away from a Githyanki knight very easily - three misty steps per day

Oh, I totally agree. I think bladesinger is an interesting option to add to wizard - I quite fancy playing one to be honest though my current character is an elf so maybe not just yet I just meant that I don't think bladesingers are overpowered at all and compare well to the other wizard...

It doesn't matter how many times you say this, it still doesn't change the fact that those 'unimportant' bonuses are as good if not better than the defense bonus of bladesong. Even with its AC, concentration boost, speed increase and ability to reduce damage with spell slots. I'd much rather...

Well, a dwarf battlerager from one of the northern holds would probably get direct information from at least 10 pages.. I guess that's up to the player/character. Some characters might be well traveled and can use the players guide as a way of representing that knowledge. Some players simply...

It depends massively on the situation but if we doing a traditional dungeon type adventure it would probably be 2-4 encounters before the first short rest. If at that point if it makes sense to do so (timing wise) and there is a safe place to do it then the party will probably take one. Its...

You can move the chat window within FG, resize it and change the font size. You need to unlock it first by right clicking on it. I tend to shrink it to about half its normal size. All of the other windows can be moved and resized too. You only really need an extra monitor if you want to do...

That link is about video for streaming which is different. What Fantasy Grounds doesn't have in it is embedded video chat so you can see each other while playing. You need to use Skype, Oovoo or Hangouts in addition and that pretty much needs a second monitor since FG works best full screen...

I would go for Princes of the Apocalypse having now played both. Check the reviews http://www.enworld.org/forum/productforums.php?title=&authors=&mfrg=Wizards+of+the+Coast&line=&catid=&genre=&system=D%26D+5th+Edition

Yup, many years ago our wizard was messing with the manual of the planes and managed to teleport himself naked to the center of Chult. Fun to see him try and survive for nearly 4 months with only the spells he had in his head. And in those days you could only cast each spell once before it was...

Yeah I agree, although Roll20 is technically free, I can't imagine the pain of using it (having to do everything manually and having no character vault) without paying the subscription. For casual use I guess free it ok, but we only lasted for a few weeks before one of us paid up for the sub...

For some reason we go 3 pages for a 1-3 level spell, 6 pages for 4-6 and 9 pages for 7-9. I have no idea if we just made that up sometime in the distant past or if it actually comes from an edition

Fantasy Grounds is $120 a year (or a one off fee of $149 which can make it cheaper in the long run). Not much in it really so it just comes down to preference. I have used both and they are pretty comparable as a tool. Fantasy Grounds is better for organising games, notes and has many of the...

It combines well with the war caster feat when used with an opportunity attack to do more damage and punish further movement. I could see an eldritch knight getting use out of it. An arcane trickster could use it with their cunning action. Disengage, move, cast booming blade, move away. Any...

There is an interesting slant on this idea in Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, where the magician (warlock) in question effectively sells the soul of another to a fey lord (fey pact) and then regrets their naivety after (to some extent). Spoiler....specifically Mr Norrell needs to bring back an...

One of the most interesting things about the Warlock class is, as a player, coming up with a backstory that contains the details behind your pact. Who its with, what event led to the deal, what are the apparent downsides (that you yet know of), what happens if you try and break the pact, can you...

The only way I could see it getting cheaper to own both is if a single place sells the book and digital version but at the moment that's not the case. Wizards sell nothing, Amazon and gaming shops sell books, Smiteworks and Steam sell digital. One of those would need to sell both and also be...

Our group has used both of those extensively in the past. The main reason we have stopped using them is that you can't actually buy the D&D content even if you wanted to. If you could buy the content, lets say through Roll20, then it might be an attractive option but there is just too much work...

Yes you can enter them yourself.
