    D&D 5E (2014) Starter Set Contents Teaser

    Mine also came with a white crayon. There should be a group of upset people who demand a return to crayons in D&D Starter Sets! :D

    Major Diaspora NPC question (Spoilers)

    That's definitely workable. They're in the Crypta Hereticarum right now. Ashima-Shimtu will recognize her, of course, but will be all cryptic about it, just barely hinting at this plotline. She has been traveling in disguise, so there's every chance people will fail to recognize her. At a...

    Major Diaspora NPC question (Spoilers)

    I've got a PC in my game who is an Eladrin woman who has no knowledge of existing since before the Great Malice. She has theorized that she was trapped in another dimension for 500+ years and just popped back into existence. She joined the party around the beginning of Summer, 500 AOV, having...

    ZEITGEIST Question about starting Zeitgeist

    :D Ah. Between calling them hexes in some places and curses in others, I lost track of that.

    ZEITGEIST Question about starting Zeitgeist

    Bonds of Forced Faith and Scholar of Hexes seem to have a negative interaction that will cause Macbannin to only use curses when he's desperate (since he won't take damage until he's out of mooks). Since in our two games, Macbannin has scared off the constables by dropping nasty curses quickly...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Merged] D&D Next/5E Release Schedule Threads

    I'm sitting here looking at my 1st Edition, 3rd Edition, and 4th Edition Player's Handbooks, and none of them say anything about what edition they are on the front cover.

    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    A different perspective I've been avoiding doing writeups during our run through Always on Time, mostly because I crosspost these writeups to our group's Facebook page, and I didn't want to accidentally give anything away to the players by forgetting or overemphasizing any particular NPC...

    ZEITGEIST 1001 things PCs are totally allowed to do in Zeitgeist campaign

    21. NOT arrest Reed Macbannin. 22. Cause the destruction of RHC headquarters and several surrounding city blocks. 23. Convince Rock Rackus that the time is perfect for him to go on a concert tour -- a "Rock Tour," if you will -- on the Avery Coast Railroad this winter, making the perfect...

    Oh my...

    Looks nice, but hopefully things like that action table being split over two columns will be fixed in the next year or so... :)

    Design Philosophy behind Steamsuit Pilot PP

    An early draft said something like "make a saving throw after using this power. If you fail, you are <condition> for X turns," so the initial design was for you to only sometimes be affected. Making it "save ends" keeps that functionality while adding in all the things in the game that normally...

    Alternative Firearms rules? [4e]

    It's pretty cool, though, if your PCs end up looking like this:

    Alternative Firearms rules? [4e]

    The rules we're using in our game: Killing Tool (for +2 dice per attack) Threat of Force (the 6-space pseudo-oppo) "These things are clunky" my own rule that reloading a firearm while in melee range provokes a bonus opportunity attack, above and beyond the oppo for making a ranged attack while...

    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    Cat Planet I feel there's something I have to share with y'all: When our Skyseer saw a vision of Sijhen, she really locked onto the tentacles around his face. While everyone else screamed "Mind Flayers!" she just said, "like a weird alien cat with tentacles for whiskers?" When I told her that...
