    How Many Classes Do We Really Need?

    10. Fighter (or better Warrior - always liked it better than 'fighter') Cavalier/Paladin (Cavaliers are any alignment but LG - Paladins are LG but with a much less strict code of conduct than previous edition Paladins & no spellcasting. Spell-like abilities are OK) Ranger (no spellcasting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook Leaves WotC - No Longer working on D&D Next [updated]

    What about my dragonborn

    Which are what? Just what appeared in the 1E PHB? The Holmes Basic D&D book? You do know there have been 30+ years of changes and innovations since then right? Not all good (obviously) but surely there is something worthwhile in all of that. This really comes across as One True Wayism to...

    D&D 4E Things wrong with 4e: Dragons

    :mad::mad::mad::mad: Hey! That's my line dammit! My players grew to hate dragons in my Year of Rogue Dragons campaign. Nothing was coloured "correctly" to them! They just about had a heart attack when i threw an acid breathing black dragon at them!

    Easy Paladin Poll

    Probably because the paladin was a weak fighter or a gimped cleric in 3E. While I haven't seen one in play the Pathfinder paladin looks miles better mechanically (and better flavoured) than any 3E-era paladin. I even saw a thread on paizo where a DM was complaining that the paladin PC was...

    What about my dragonborn

    Isn't that a given since the Dungeon Master decides the setting/adventures/plot anyways? Does it actually have to be written down in the PHB somewhere that the DM gets to decide what is and isn't allowed in their game? I would hope players are at least mature enough to trust a DM to make...

    What about my dragonborn

    I am amazed at the inability of some to tell when tongue is firmly planted in cheek. That's the spirit!! As a lover of dragonborn I feel united with my abused gnome cousins (lousy halfling/dwarf ripoffs that they are....)

    Bringing PCs together when starting a new campaign

    I leave it up to the players to decide how and why their PCs meet up. They are the adventuring party afterall - why shouldn't they know why they came together? Me, as DM, telling them how they met feels way to much like me playing their characters for them. I give them the adventure...

    1st Edition AD&D Reprints to be available outside North America

    I was thinking the exact same thing. It makes sense although if it was it would have been a good idea for WotC to announce that too. Of course then they probably would have had US gamers up in arms that they had to wait because of it. :erm:

    What are your gaming stuff mishaps?

    Not a lot of rhinoceroses in Arthurian England. and now we know why!

    What are your gaming stuff mishaps?

    Ok - I cannot be the only one who pictured an African rhinoceros mini in mid explosion and wondering when in the heck any campaign would need an actual exploding rhinoceros miniature. I mean how often would that come into play in any campaign?

    Price/Packaging Info for PFB: Rise of the Runelords Miniatures

    ...if you live in the US. I could not find a single online retailer offering free shipping to or within Canada. More telling I couldn't really find an online retailer who wasn't also gouging Canadian customers for as much extra "handling fees" as they could get away with. As much as I would...

    [April] What are you reading?

    I'm reading my exclusive advanced "Platinum Level" playtest copy of D&D Fifth Edition (officially called D&D:Best, btw). I'm sure all of the other PLers out there are enjoying too. So glad they decided to ditch wizards as a player class!

    WotC yanks the rug out

    WotC is not a book publisher. They are a game publisher who occasionally publishes books. Magic:the Gathering makes about 10 times as much revenue as D&D (probably a lot more than that with the recent upsurge in Magic's popularity). They also have been doing a lot of board games in recent...
