    Best game for a SoA-inspired campaign? Published scenarios required!

    I've recently binge-watched "Sons of Anarchy", and now I feel the need to GM a group of bikers going around doing terrible things for street-cred. What game do you think would be best to recreate the SoA feel? What is REALLY important is that I need a game with a lot of published scenarios...

    D&D 5E (2014) Zone of truth 5e: Justice system revolution!

    Can you voluntarily fail saves in 5e? I was recently the target of such spell, and my interrogator stated something along the lines of "if you resist this spell, I will know that you are guilty". I was innocent anyhow, so I asked the DM if I could just not roll the save, and he agreed.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Plot Revealed

    I saw the Perfect D&D movie a couple of weeks ago. It was set in the Birthright settting. There was this kid, the lost son of a king, who grew up in a brothel, and became a conman. Eventually he aquired an OP magic sword, his past was revealed to him, and he went to fight the evil wizard in his...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mearls on other settings

    I don't understand this talk of "other settings". It's just one setting, The D&D Multiverse. Let's take a hint from the Plane Shift articles, and make a series of PDF with conversion notes for different worlds of the Prime Material plane. Then an annual printed book with all the articles in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Reprints I Would 100% Buy (Map Folio)

    I would like maps that look like MAPS. Like Cubilce7 does for The One Ring. http://cubicle7.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/TORadventurersmap.jpg

    Your favourite D&D aquatic adventure

    PCs in our Spelljammer campaign are about to visit the planet Karpri in Realmsphere (basically a water-world). Let's assume I have access to all scenarios ever published for D&D (any edition, including Dungeon magazines). Which aquatic adventure did you enjoy the most? Edition is not...

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Portraits

    +1 for Pinterest! I used that too, and once you start, it keeps giving you suggestions of pics/portrait you may like, or are similar to what you searched before. It's really good.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Lost Citadel: a new apocalyptic 5E setting from Green Ronin

    Reminds me of the Midnight campaign setting. If you're familiar with it, how would you say it differentiates from it?

    D&D 5E (2014) Yawning portal in the Forgotten Realms-Advice

    I guess the easiest way would be to have 7 connected items be at the end of each dungeon. Maybe the pieces of the Rod of Seven Parts. Or the Dragon Balls! Or maybe each of the bosses at the end of a dungeon is identified by one of the seven sins?

    D&D 5E (2014) How to deal with a Warlock gaining Detect Magic as a cantrip

    Spell say "you can use your ACTION to see an aura around VISIBLE creatures or objects". So you need to use your action every time you wish to see the aura, and if it's not visible (hidden assassin, hidden trap) it doesn't work. All in all, it's just useful to check if the loot is magic before...

    D&D 5E (2014) Help with handling a ship's crew

    Currently DMing a Spelljammer campaign, my players have a ship crewed by 60 sailors. They pay each sailor 2 gp / day, for the days that they're "at sea" (in space). When they get back to home-port (Rock of Bral) they disband them, and call them back when they have to sail again. There's two...

    Planescape 101 Planescape Portals/Keys

    Actually made me wonder... is there a database of all the portals mentioned in every book ever published for Planescape?

    D&D 5E (2014) Large Size PCs?

    If I were to add Regeneration as a racial trait, I would go with something like: Regeneration. As a bonus action, you may spend one of your Hit Dice to recover hit points.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the game have extensive weapon lists?

    The reason I haven't invested the amount of money I had in the other editions is simply that there aren't enough products to buy. And I'm actually quite happy with this! Now I can use my RPG budget to buy other RPGs, or minis, or digital tools.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the game have extensive weapon lists?

    Yes, that would be great too! We really don't need 10 different spells doing more or less the same thing, just changing damage type, or shape. The "higher lever slot" mechanic was a great improvement, but I would have gone even further. Like having a "healing" spell that included also...

    D&D 5E (2014) Should the game have extensive weapon lists?

    I voted "no". In fact, I wished 5e had taken a hint (well, several hints...) from 13th Age, and simplified weapons even further.

    D&D 5E (2014) What does your group look like (version 2)?

    I'm the DM in three games, and a player in one Planescape (DM) http://planescape1.blogspot.be/search/label/Heroes Spelljammer (DM) http://spelljammer1.blogspot.be/search/label/Heroes Out of the Abyss (DM) http://outoftheabyss1.blogspot.be/search/label/Heroes Storm King's Thunder (I'm Caerwyn...

    D&D 5E (2014) As a Player, How Would You Beat This?

    Difficult to say without knowing party level, but I would say, make sure the entrance of the compound isn't further than 500 feet from the "treasure room". Dimension door in, grab the prize, dimension door out.

    D&D 5E (2014) What new classes do you think we need?

    This! I would actually like if they gave us a UA article with three "new" classes: warrior, expert, spellcaster. Then give us the tools to build all the other classes from there. Something like True20, but with 5e mechanics. Geez, how much I want this!

    D&D 5E (2014) What do you do?

    In a home game, I would say retreat, rest up, scout/scry and fight another day. Not sure if this is feasible in AL.
