But the OP was not claiming it was the 50th anniversary of the Realms. He called it the 50th birthday. (For myself, I figure it was conceived 50 years ago, I'm not sure what the gestation period was, but probably figure somewhere closer to the first published articles.)

But one of your points in the post with that picture is how that game takes way more than 5 minutes to set up. In fact, Ravenloft and the other D&D board games do take only about 5 minutes or less to set up.

it is not strange that these poisons don't use the term "poisoned condition" as most of the conditions don't use the added word "condition." For example, does not say "incapacitated condition creature." This is different from the "Poison" damage type.

If the poison description says the victim is "poisoned" for a set amount of time, it is saying how long the poisoned condition lasts, sometimes with an additional effect for the duration.

I've always thought the verbal componant was the suggestion itself. Of course, fiddling with the the snake tongue might still give it away, if they can recognize the small string of leather as a snake tongue.

I have never pictured dwaves living in the underdark. I've always viewed dwaven cities as being inhilly or mountainous areas and having an undergound componant, and of course mining going deep underground. Of the standard PC races, only halflings (really hobbits) are described as living...

The MM gives us the 5 chromatic and 5 metallic dragons. Rise of Tiamat gives us Tiamat. The new Icons of the Realms minis give us many dragons including Tiamat and Bahamut. But I can't fing any 5E info about Bahamut. Am I just missing something?

I believe I have a first imprint Starter Set in my personal collection that I am willing to part with. I will check it this evening when I get home. edit: I see that my store demo copy has "ELM 156 14" stamped on it. But that one has been heavily used. Edit again: The store has several...

I expect attendence is pretty light, considering the very heavy snowstorms experienced by Fort Wayne and the entire Great Lakes and Northeast regions of the country just prior to the convention.

I think it would be a great PR move if GF9 would post a pdf of the two missing cards. Anyone who bought the first printing could print them out and at least be playing with a full deck (sorry). It would cost GF9 very little, and would also show potential new customers what the cards in general...

That's what 5E has as well

You mean for the D-lete E-lete? (ouch)

But if you could possible allow it in your game, research could reveal partial successes and incomplete attempts. "After obtaining the purest sky-steel...but in the final attempt to temper the blade in the heart of a still living ancient red dragon, the wyrm's death throes eviscerated the...

If the item would be too unbalancing in your game, a successful research roll could reveal "No such thing exists."

I just finished playing in a campaign where the DM did not use th varient encumbrance rules, but I did. It was a personal challenge for me,but I enjoyed it. The campaign I am starting this week will use the varient rules as well. Like above, I have been playing since early AD&D, and have nearly...

I'm curious what pound bow equivalent he was pulling. Whether light poundage, or not fully drawing the bow, the penetration/damage and the range should both be dramatically reduced. Apparantly, short-range accuracy was not hurt.

It's Conjure Minor Elementals, and it looks like WotC missed them, or at least made them difficult to find. Even I can't call this one a "Feature, not a bug."

Read the fluff about the beasts and if they have natural enemies. That should give a clue.

Fireball is a sorcerer or wizard spell, Flame Strike is a cleric spell. Edit: Ninja'd

Those were modules written for the playtest. The rules were not yet finalized, and the monsters were under early development.
