    D&D 5E (2014) Alternative Initiative: try this

    Instead of tarot cards you could use cards from a CCG (like MtG) that have pictures like the characters. Players might like finding a card that represents their character--sort of like picking out a mini for your character.

    Looking for Mundane Item Chart

    Here's a fan created one for D&D 5th edition. There's a similar one in the PHB also.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Session Prep Method

    Here's a list of pregenerated names from the great Christopher Perkins. It was for his 4E campaign so has doesn't have drow names specifically but all of the other 5E PHB races are in there.

    D&D 5E (2014) What to do with players that always roll well

    This was my impression too. One of the guys in my group has a reputation among the others for being very lucky. But it's a mix of confirmation bias (We fondly recall the time he critted and killed a main villain right after he opened a Christmas present--a giant d20 that flashes on a crit.)...

    Fate Core Star Wars

    I'm lazy so if I run SW in Fate I would use the Fate Core book as is and make up stunts on an ad hoc basis depending on the race and concept for each character and what dynamics the player cared about for their character. It's a well-made guide, has some good tips, and did some of the leg work...

    D&D 5E (2014) What do intelligent, fire elementals want?

    If you go this route you could connect the plot to the Far Realm and warlocks associated with it. I don't recall the backstory for 5E Great Old Ones but in 4E some stars were portals through which entities from the Far Realm (GOOs) could influence the Material Plane. A GOO and its warlock...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favorite race/class combination?

    I like to play different combinations every time I play but if I had to pick one, I love halfling thieves.

    Ring Side Report-Board Game Review of Dead of Winter

    My friend has this and loves it. It's definitely on my wish list.

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: Wild Magic and Draconic Bloodline

    I think Reincarnate would be a fantastic spell for a Wild Mage.

    Strengths and Weaknesses of WEG's d6 compared to FFG's new system?

    We noticed the same issue with high Strength characters. Since Strength dictates how well you resist damage and deal melee damage, you can have a character who is difficult to damage and who can dish out damage with simply a high Strength. My friend had a wookie with a maxed Strength...

    Best Star Trek RPG?

    Let me try that again... I picked up the FASA version but never got around to playing it. I tried reading through it once but it felt like a wall of text, so I didn't read much of it. I think if I ran a Star Trek game, I'd use Fate instead because (to me) it's an easily accessible game and it...

    WotC Survey Result: Classes OK, Eberron Needs Work

    I like it too! But I don't like it for controlling the dice, just the wild surges.

    Evocative Names

    My friend ran a campaign where the demigod minions of the god of evil (The Undying) escaped the prison where they had been trapped for centuries. They were imprisoned for so long that they were only known in legends or fairy tales. So our GM doled out information about them gradually. First...

    D&D 5E (2014) Whats your Favorite Unpublished Setting?

    Check out the link in my first post if you're interested in a light but exhilarating and enjoyable read. Spoiler: George R.R. Martin fans might especially appreciate it because Rich Wulf never actually finishes the story.

    D&D 5E (2014) Whats your Favorite Unpublished Setting?

    What made R2k different than L5R or OA is that it's set in modern day. (Well, modern day minus 15 years.) So it has clans, samurai, majo, magic, etc. but it also has motorcycles, corporations, firearms, etc.

    D&D 5E (2014) Player stronghold

    I think you just gave yourself the best advice for this campaign. Talk about the concept as a group and find out the players' interest. Find out who, if any, wants to be the noble and whether everyone's okay with them being the noble. Figure out as a group how the rest of the players fit into...

    D&D 5E (2014) Whats your Favorite Unpublished Setting?

    Rokugan 2000. The Legend of the Five Rings world in the year 2000. It's very clever and engaging. Eventually the author, Rich Wulf, became a writer for L5R rulebooks and novels.

    A Fantasy RPG Themed Bar on Kickstarter

    I love that you can buy a $5 shot if you roll a d20 on their list of shots or choose your own for $6. http://www.stormcrowtavern.com/random-shots/
