    D&D 5E (2014) Out of the Abyss - what Archmage Gromph knows [spoilers]

    I just finished reading "Archmage: homecoming book 1", and intend on DMing Rage of Demons: Out of the Abyss. The basic plot of the adventure (in the later half of the adventure; after visiting Gauntlgrym) is to find out what's going on with the demons in the Underdark. However, in the final...

    DEMOGORGON! 200mm Tall!

    Which company makes/produces this mini (can it even be called a 'miniature' at 200mm in size???)? Retail cost?

    FANTASY GROUNDS Goes 3D With TABLETOP CONNECT

    For me, one of the most exciting aspects of this is: Fantasy Grounds is licenced to produce VTT versions of Wizards of the Coast content. Their modules are almost word-for-word and map-for-map the same as the published (book) adventures. It would be thrilling if FG started making WotC...

    FANTASY GROUNDS Goes 3D With TABLETOP CONNECT

    Wowzers... that looks fantastic. But how many years (?) of development before we see a 3D version of Fantasy Grounds?

    Perkins' Foreword From OUT OF THE ABYSS

    Our group seems to be in a minority here (at least with those voicing their opinions on these forums), but we are actually looking forward to seeing/hearing/meeting Drizzt. Most of my players just enjoy the tabletop game but have not read many Forgotten Realms novels. However, you would have...

    CITY OF BRASS Launches, Bringing You Web-Based Campaign Management

    Opening blurb says the system supports D&D 3.5. Yet I see screenshots for 5e. Can you clarify?

    [UPDATED] A Savage D&D 5E Campaign Setting From the Makers of PRINCES OF THE APOCALYPSE

    What makes the setting "Primeval" or Conan-like? For example, are there normal PHB armor/weapons removed (e.g. no Platemail), or changed (e.g. Plate is now 'dragonbone' armor with the same stats)? Is magic 'toned down' or 'bad-for-you' (like most Sorcery & Sandals settings)?

    Mike Mearls on D&D Psionics: Should Psionic Flavor Be Altered?

    I've always imagined psionics as a psychic extension of the character...a summoned psychic avatar. Only those with "detect psionics" would see these psychic avatars. A novice could call on their avatar, but would need to meditate (leaving his physical body vulnerable), while a master...

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    After reading all these threads, our group decided Fantasy Grounds was exactly what we are looking for, and purchased this today. (Just goes to show, everyone has different needs/tastes).

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    Is this true for Rise of Tiamat? Have monsters been auto-placed on the map? Auto-rolled initiatives? Monsters scaled to map grid? Are encounters almost 'plug & play'?

    RISE OF TIAMAT Now Available For Fantasy Grounds

    Can you elaborate on how you set-up a 2nd instance (view) for the player, on a single PC?

    HOARD OF THE DRAGON QUEEN on FANTASY GROUNDS

    While I know Fantasy Grounds (FG) is meant for groups to play while online, our group plays a traditional face-to-face game. However, some of the tools FG has are very appealing for organizing, record keeping, etc. We want to set this up, with a DM running (behind screen) and a 'single' player...

    HOARD OF THE DRAGON QUEEN on FANTASY GROUNDS

    Hi Smiteworks, This product looks fantastic. But my group has a few questions: - If we purchase this Adventure, is it necessary to have the 5e Monster data-packs? Or are all the monsters in the adventure included? - If I understand your forums correctly (it wasn't clear on your site), the 5e...

    Take A Quick Look At PATHFINDER UNCHAINED!

    I agree with EthanSental: While I know the developers have adamantly denied this is a way to "test the waters" for a Pathfinder 2.0, I think a lot of players would welcome the game going back to its roots of: One big (revised) book is all you need. The current book bloat and rules...

    Dwarven Forge Now Wants To Build Cities!

    Yup, I noticed under this Kickstarter's photos (from update #2) they say the "modest tavern" interior builds can be made with 8 buildings (slightly less product than the 'village' support level). This is not correct: as pictured, it would take: - 8 wall sections - 3 door sections (one is an...

    Dwarven Forge Now Wants To Build Cities!

    Actually jgsugden, at $230 you can only make 2 hovels right now (because that pledge level only comes with 2 roofs). The rest of your floors/walls will have to be for 2nd & 3rd story buildings. The kickstarter $700,000-$750,000 stretch goals are roof packs, but they are "Paid" add-ons....

    CITY OF BRASS - the Web-Based RPG App Kickstarter Launches!

    Question: if you are a GM, would all of your players need to subscribe in order to view the info (e.g. characters, etc). Or will a GMs subscription include player access?

    Suggest Your "Rule of Three" Questions for Next Week (4/17)

    Since the segment is called "rule of three", I thought I'd ask 3 quick questions: Q1: So much of what we've heard to date is how the next version will have the 'best' of all prior versions (which is great, by-the-way). But for those of us who have all the prior versions, how much of your focus...
