I too would have liked a Weather chart. The Something Happens table, which I couldn't find in the DMG, has nothing to do with weather, other than a couple entries like A storm begins A strong gust of wind blows through The sun comes out It seems more like potential omens, or something just...

Don't forget encounter distance.

The new deluxe D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Screen released today in preferred retail outlets (it releases on Jan 20th everywhere else). Games Plus in Illinois is one of those outlets, and the store owner thalmin reports on the contents of the screen...

Produce Flame allows attack when cast or as an action on a later round.

From page 269, second paragraph of the Produce Flame spell description (my bold)

If I remember correctly (I had a chance to check out the screen at Gamehole Con), besides the Conditions/Exhaustion reference, most of the rest of the screen was tables to help in the story-telling and narration of the game.

We expect to have it for sale this Friday, January 9.

Correct. The box is exactly the same size as the white box.

I thought that the Adventurer's Guide was supposed to have some things like new races, classes, spells, an backgrounds in it. That sounds like rules to me. I don't think Wizards wants to outsource writing rules to someone else.

Happy New Year everyone. May you be able to keep the New Year's resolutions you should, and forget about the resolutions you should not have made! I resolve to play more more D&D! I resolve to have more fun playing games. I resolve to try to become a better player. I resolve to try to become a...

Probably. Of course, the DM can always create various restrictions for magic items, so not a bad idea to decide for oneself. I will have some restrictions for my campaign, but, with rare possible exceptions, I will not place magic items the party will not be able to use, unless they are not...

Some spells show up on multiple lists. Also, some classes (and feats) allow other spells to be added to someone's spell list. So I don't think it is redundant.

Here is a photo of a kraken mini I snapped at GaryCon. It was used in a Hackmaster game being run by the folks at Kenzer. The kraken is attacking 3 boats. There is also a giant shark in the lower right corner, waiting for lunch to be served. As I understand, the kraken mini was made from a...
