Not happening to me clicking the [read more] or title links takes me right to the thread with the first post as the article - I'm running Firefox (latest update as of this morning) on Windows XP.

About halfway through my second 3E campaign and nearing a burnout on DMing I got some advice I will never forget and live by to this day; Rules are for players. I know at first this seems scoff worthy but the more I thought about the more I realized that some DMs can get a lot of mileage out...

Glad they finally saw how silly the limitations on online play were. They didn't affect me in the slightest but it was sure generating some ill-will!

So when do the mass bannings happen?

Although I didn't get it until the next day after release I'm accessing the PT through the WotC website.

It will likely take me a couple of weeks to piece the offer together but sure - I'll shoot it your way.

If those 1000 were from the early sets it almost doesn't matter what minis they were - the first 4 sets have commons going for $5-6 and try and find that Harbinger "uncommon" Orc Archer for less than $10. $200? I would have punched him. Your restraint is incredible :D

Heh. I sold off about a 1000 of my DDM 2 years ago. Prices on the ones I sold have been pretty stable since then (actually the ones I sold had been stable for about 2 years before that too). I still have 1000s of the things and am contemplating another sell off - I have a sewer drain to fix!

Having bought way too many of the old DDM line I was initially excited about the PF minis. Once I got some of them 'in hand' though my enthusiasm vanished. They are more fragile than DDM (already broke my Orc Warriors' sword) and the distribution model is annoying. Buying a "booster" pack of...

Weirdest error I saw last week was if you signed up to the play test with an email addy different than the one used to register your WotC account. Don't know if that will help you out. Also they don't send the pt materials to your email - you have to login via the links in the confirmation...

I use a plastic 'organizer' stand on wheels that has 5 drawers. I wish now I had gotten the one with 8 (smaller) drawers as it would be easier to sort through them all. Similar to this one. I have a separate 'beading organizer' (one used to hold beads of various kinds for costume jewelry...

Magic!

So is Morrus cool with playtest games of 5E being played on his PBP forums? Is RPGGeek? *This* is how they will enforce it - by going after the websites hosting these games. Putting pressure on them will ensure that online games (on those forums) will be shut down. Note I'm not saying I...

They do have a lot on the ball. About the only thing I don't like is the high HPs at first level. IMO 7-9hps would be more than enough but they wanted a unified hp system for all characters (CON score + die at first level). This should self correct in a very few levels with the fighter...

I;m surprised Morale is doing so well in this poll. Both for henchmen and monsters. Personally it is the one thing I miss most from previous editions and would absolutely love to see its return.

I will bet that this is a 'hidden' feature of the 'Slayer' build the fighter is based on. It wouldn't surprise me if he gets to up the damage die of any one weapon he chooses (in this case 1d12 goes to 2d6 upping average damage from 6.5 to 7)

I disagree entirely. The game is going to need a basic class that anyone can jump into and feel like they are contributing. There shouldn't be any need for 'system mastery' to enter into a person's first game. They should be handed a single sheet of paper (a HUGE plus imo to the playtest...

Since when does losing hit points lead to 'horrific, debilitating injuries'? Not in any version of the game I've played in the last 30 years. Again none of this is in any edition of the game I've read or played - not even 1E. Where are these persistent wounds/serious injuries you keep...

I think it is a basic rulebook with 5 pregenerated PCs (the argument for this was it would be easier to get and parse feedback if everyone was using the same 'baseline' of PCs - i.e. if healing for the cleric is completely borked it would be easier to spot if everyone was playing the same...

I always liked Saurials myself. It just sounds and looks more 'dragon-y' to me. Draconians are and always should be tied to the Dragonlance setting. Not surprised to see the haters here wishing for Dragonborn to be taken out of the game though (not you Warunsun)!
