    D&D 5E (2014) Stealthy Spellcasting in 5e

    I wasn't trying to be narrow, simply pointing out that there are several ways to do it or rule on it. If you want this bard to have stealthy magic, then I would just incorporate a stealth roll. But I believe the lack of "magic stealth" rules was by design. It could be abusive. It does give your...

    D&D 5E (2014) Stealthy Spellcasting in 5e

    Awesome. So, he needs to incorporate his/her instrument or voice, yes? So, that would be brilliantly easier to just break into a story, song or performance. People do it all the time to catch the eye of someone they are interested in. :-) No need for stealth in the classic sense. Just disguise...

    D&D 5E (2014) Analyzing 5E: Overpowered by design

    in my short experience with the game,the math is wonderful! The PCs all contribute something, everyone has cool stuff to do. The game works fast. It's fun to play. Personally, I would focus on what you can do to make adventures fun and challenging for the PCs brought to the table. Be a fan of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Stealthy Spellcasting in 5e

    IF you really want it, make an Ability or Skill check and let it happen. BUT. It's a potentially problematic ruling. It steals some of that niche from your sneaky types. It makes magic users more powerful. Classes have niches where that class shines in particular moments. I personally wouldn't...

    I suck at DMing. Can anyone help?

    Google search for threads on the Sandbox style of gaming. Your analytic mind will be a good advantage with this style. Basically you prep "things" and get some random tables together and let the group explore. It's about encounters and reacting to the player's choices. Personally I add in the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Something I find tacky

    Do you know what I find tacky? Trolling the InterTubes for attention over a faux-slight taking attention away from the actual purpose of the holiday.

    How to protect my work from being stolen

    Publish it online! :-) Be sure to include copyright disclaimer and "do not reproduce" terms and then you have a decent "public notice" about your game. You could consider actually registering your work for copyright... Otherwise, don't sweat it. Almost every RPG gets pirated. People share...

    Does the OGL still apply for 3rd Edition?

    Some advice however... If you want to publish under the 3.x rules, look at Pathfinder. It has a LARGE audience, is currently supported by a VERY enthusiastic (and capable) publisher, and is Open Content. There are already some fantastic 3rd party supplements for PF, so you would be in good...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reasons Why My Interest in 5e is Waning

    What's both funny and terrible about this post; It's by a publisher about a publisher. That doesn't happen often expect in our hobby/industry. Note this publisher is a FAN of the other publisher's work. :-) It demonstrates the "damned if you do, damned if you don't" principle to outstanding...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reasons Why My Interest in 5e is Waning

    "independently managed" is not how the ex-employee stories read IMHO. There seems to be a lot of influence there especially from the legal department regarding the OGL (as per GSL 4e stories...).

    D&D 5E (2014) Reasons Why My Interest in 5e is Waning

    Fixed. :-D It's Hasbro (will travel) not WOTC per se. I think the legal wrangling comes from up on (really) high.

    D&D 5E (2014) Reasons Why My Interest in 5e is Waning

    Well, I think you've brought up a lot of points discussed in length here on EnWorld. I will share my thoughts (as an aside, that font size is horrible for us grognards to read...). 5) Serious Lack of Digital Tools - Frankly, I have ditched the laptop and setup at the game table and banned all...

    By Crom! Modiphius is Making a New CONAN RPG

    I've read through the MC3e quick start and really liked what I see. First, you roll 2d20 and try to get at least one die rolled UNDER the TN which is generally your ability score. If you have ranks in expertise in the skill, you increase the TN by those ranks. You also have "focus" in the skill...

    D&D 5E (2014) how to run long distance travelling without it sucking

    This is a good point. You should have a "scout" who can benefit from one person assisting. The group goes where the scout leads them. If you hire a local or expert, you can have the group scout be the assistant and "keep an eye" on the path forward. I would also use passive Perception a lot.

    You can download the BETA quickstart for free on DTRPG! The system actually looks really well done. Much fun is going to be had with this edition!

    [Updated] Chris Sims & Jennifer Clarke Wilkes Let Go From WotC

    1) mlund - so you're a typical cold corporate shrill. So? I'm saying your attitude and business approach are bunk. The system is broken. If you're supporting it, you're approach is broken. You can hire freelancers under contract with the idea to ramp up a project without lying to them and giving...

    [Updated] Chris Sims & Jennifer Clarke Wilkes Let Go From WotC

    IF there is another reason (like sexual harassment, summoning restricted type demons in the office, using the copier to spread viruses to North Korea...), then I take back my disgust with Hasbro. I reserve my general distaste of corporate America however. Our system IS broken.
