    Sorry Folks, I just can't get into 5e

    Question - Wasn't Advanced Dungeons & Dragons or Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition similar to D&D 1e?

    Rotating DMs?

    A few friends and I have tried something like this. It went good, we rolled at the end to see who the next DM was, previous DM excluded. Pitfalls included on if there is a non-reliable player who doesn't really want to DM but says they will, and holds the game up. One player quit when it...

    Do We Really Need Half-Elves and Half-Orcs?

    I say in my game that half-orcs are full blooded orcs for the same reasons you do, the stats are better than the orc stats. As for half races in general. For a while now I always wondered why one half needed to be human. So, I have decided to allow most humanoid races to mate with each other...

    Underpowered Group Found BBEG

    Let their actions decide. If they find out it is a dragon and decide to stay and fight, let it happen. In the words if Ivan Dragon, if they die, they die.

    What does a setting need to be "supported"

    I actually started a "Setting Creation" stream on Twitch about a month or so back. I go over the steps on what to consider when creating your own setting, and what scope is hoped to be achieved by it. Many of these questions are dependent on the setting type. I have a link to my archived...

    How important is art to you?

    I'm familiar with Richard, I've talked to him on several occasions. Great guy from what I can tell, and a great artist as well. Seriously, his sketch potential, it is massive. He also did all of the Xvart portrait work for the D&D team that they all used on social media a bit back.

    How important is art to you?

    Say somebody is creating their own custom setting; module; rule book; whatever 5th edition related. How important is the art quality to you? Does the art have to be masterpiece quality? Can it be sketches like the 1e D&D books? Would you prefer no art over bad art? Or would you prefer art...

    Fighting Styles vs Feats, which is better?

    Let us look at it this way - 1) Fighting Style may do one of a few things, the top ones being +2 to accuracy, +2 to damage, or +1 Armor Class. 2) ASI of raising a combat stat by 2 would give you +1 accuracy & +1 damage, and in the case of Dexterity +1 Armor Class as well. 3) A feat allows...

    WOTC is hiring a new Game Designer for D&D

    How do we know if we won? I want to know if I won. Did you get a phone call? No. Well did you get an email? No. Then you didn't win. Are you even qualified? I onno. Then chances are you probably aren't qualified.

    Mythological Figures: Conan the Barbarian (5E)

    I once made a Conan character, I didn't give him any classes, I just made him his own unique "creature." I took whatever elements I felt like taking from classes, and giving him whatever stats I felt were appropriate based on his accomplishments and feats. If I recall correctly, none of his...

    WOTC is hiring a new Game Designer for D&D

    No, I am not young. I just figured they would need examples of such things, but something attached to an NDA for example does not have examples. But Jester David explains it better in a below response.

    WOTC is hiring a new Game Designer for D&D

    How does things you can't talk about work? Like let's say you did some work for Warner Brothers (which I didn't), but you have an NDA until the product is revealed. And in that product you have some credits. How does that work?!?

    WOTC is hiring a new Game Designer for D&D

    Not to double post, but does that mean self published products as well? If that is the case, puft, I can crap out crap! Note, it also mentions editing somebody else's work and it getting published.

    WOTC is hiring a new Game Designer for D&D

    The Chicago Manual of Style if I am correct is a manual which details ways in writing/describing things, such as a booklet for a lawnmower that tells you how to assemble it. It is kind of like technical writing, right? I think so. Ever notice how their rules are so uniform? Also, for me to...

    Last Friday I started a stream on Setting/World Building, this Friday, disaster!

    So, last Friday I started a stream series on setting building, using D&D 5e as a skeleton for the rules system (much like Cubicle 7 did with Lord of the Rings when they brought it to 5e with "Adventures in Middle-Earth"). I described the basics, everything was going smooth (in my opinion). This...
