    D&D 5E (2014) Buying Adventures

    I'll agree with the adjusted statement. There are way more players than GMs around but GMs spend the real money.

    D&D 5E (2014) Upcoming OGL-Related Announcement!

    I see what you did there.... and I'm deducting 50XP for it :]

    D&D 5E (2014) Things that probably won't happen, but man would it be cool if they did!

    I want new stories and new adventures. I swear if I see the GDQ or B2 adventures done again I will blow a gasket. Every edition should have its own awesome series of adventures - we do not need the same damned thing redone for every edition! :mad:

    D&D 5E (2014) Buying Adventures

    I dunno - hundreds? I buy adventures all the time. Anything that looks interesting or useful. I pull them out for inspiration when I'm running on empty or just for entertainment. My one goal is to have a complete set of the 'alphabet' series of D&D and AD&D modules (the A, B, C, etc series)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why I'm Buying the Starter Set

    Remember the reams of errata 4E produced in an astonishingly short time? Mike Mearls says the staggered release format (same as they did with the original 3E) is to try and make sure that doesn't happen this time. Trying to edit 500+ pages of PHB/MM/DMG is too taxing for the RPG department...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E PHB on Amazon $30 Pre-Order

    Ain't that the truth. None of the FLGS in my area make much money off of RPGs anymore. Aside from the heydays of early 3E (and of course back in the much heyer heydays of the 80s) RPGs have been a tiny niche product at the best of times. Magic and board games is were the real money is and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Art in 5e...?

    Ummmm wow, KM that is some seriously bizarre reasoning you got there. By your definition *any* 'pretty' lady is automatically sexualized? Really? So if she was only a 5 on the Kamaikaze Midget Beauty Scale she is no longer a source of sexual desire? how about a 6? Maybe we need ratings for...

    What is the speed of a laden horse? (Strategic movement in D&D)

    Now can someone tell me the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? European by preference.

    Favorite D&D books

    As true today as when this thread was first posted back in 2004! (seriously - check the date of the first post of this thread! Big time thread necromancy!) Draconomicon (3E version) still stands as my personal favourite D&D book of all time. I read it for pleasure quite often and the artwork...

    Since when has a Rat Bastard DM *ever* been fair?!?!?! Careful or I'll up it to -2!! :devil:

    D&D 5E (2014) GAMA Trade Show and Game Developer Conference start Monday - announcement Tomorrow?

    I'm officially giving both of you a -1 penalty to your next die roll for Excessive Use of Bad Jokes. Please inform your respective DMs of this or if you are DMs yourselves deduct it from your next monster attack roll.

    D&D 5E (2014) GAMA Trade Show and Game Developer Conference start Monday - announcement Tomorrow?

    I wonder if the 'no pictures' thing was because the covers aren't finalized? Are the covers something that can be changed fairly easily before sending off the manuscript to the publisher? I have to admit the Beholder on the cover of the PHB doesn't really please me - I think I'd rather see an...

    what isn't an rpg that should be?

    Jim Starlin's Dreadstar. A sci-fi space opera-ish epic blended well with magic, occult, despotic rulers, faith and war. It was (and still is) my all time favourite comic book series.

    D&D 5E (2014) Initial D&D Next Releases Showing Up on Barnes & Noble Website

    Skill challenges were problematical at the best of times in many of my 4E games and that awesome chart was printed on the the DM Screen - so yeah you didn't really need the DMG (although if you didn't use the pg 42 chart you really made things hard for yourself when winging it!!)

    D&D 5E (2014) What Should We Call Next/5e

    What? No 'Blatant Cash-Grab by Evil WotC D&D'? I'm outraged! Outraged I say *adjusts monocle* ;)

    Really? I mean...just...really? See at a loss or (at best) a break even point is the way to "win" people over. Maybe they should be handing out free ice cream and $100 bills with every PHB sold too? Nah - someone is bound to complain that the ice cream is only in vanilla or the $100 bills...

    D&D 4E Reply if you love 4e

    I still love 4E and have just started yet another campaign of it. This time I'm trying for a whirlwind, passing through the cosmos, hit every game world out there at least once kind of gonzo game. They started in Eberron and where they end up is anyone's guess at this point (I'm thinking...

    How to deal with GM burn-out?

    Having gone through multiple 'burnouts' over the years this is the hardest cause for me to overcome. If I'm not motivated to run the game I put zero effort into it and just 'wing it' with predictable results. I have often found even taking a break from GMing won't help in this case as you are...
