A top notch poster map of the Sword Coast. I miss the large beautiful world maps from the old box sets. Even as a standalone product I would buy this. I currently have on my game room wall the 4 poster Realms map from Dragon, the 4 poster Pathfinder Golarion Map, the poster of the inner and...

I've never done that, but I've certainly done the reverse...pouring over and agonizing about the minis on the Reaper site trying to find the perfect mini to represent my character.

I think they are doing an OK job. But they certainly could make some improvements. 5e is in many ways the "fan's edition". The public playtest and warm callbacks in the products to D&D roots have been great. On the other hand, the D&D team gets brutalized by fans eager to dissect every morsel...

Big bold homebrew underway here. But that's because I wanted to run something I created, rather than any sort of thumbs up/down to the official modules. The only outside product I've incorporated into the campaign so far was En5ider's Business of Emotion adventure, which our group loved.

I am including one big crawl dungeon as part of a larger campaign. We have newer players who want to see various play styles. Overview: The dungeon is a castle that was abandoned after being sacked during a great war 25 years prior. To try to keep it fresh, the party is picking up scraps of...

The Sword Coast has enough content to stand own its own as a setting. I'm interested what the narrower setting focus (i.e. Sword Coast not all of FR) will mean for the depth of information included. Plus with the SCL video game they've managed to create a tie-in outside the tabletop stuff that...

I would feel terrible carving into a cake this pretty. Also, I welcome our cake-spiracy overlords with open arms. This cake is amazing!

Random dungeons and a stockpile of premade sets from the single player game. I would've preferred tile sets too. ..but this is workable.

They've talked about pick up sessions with a stranger as your DM (and how you could still have a good experience due to DM threat system) and I feel like they talked about running something another player made. From that I'm inferring done sorry of lobby/matchmaking, and some sort of module...

I have not seen anything suggesting any of the cinematic elements you mention (doesn't mean they don't have them). I am also curious if they use a voice client. There's some sort of system where modules are shared online. I think you can have the players run something you created without you...

What in the world is DSA_DZ_4.1WE? I came up empty on a Google search, as well as trying to correlate it with ENWorld's own Hot Games charts ( http://www.enworld.org/forum/hotgames.php ).

I did a recap of today's Q&A session with the devs about these videos. The Q&A video is here: http://www.twitch.tv/swordcoastlegends/v/6852516 My full recap is here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?464153-Sword-Coast-Legends-DM-Tools-Twitch-Event-Recap You don't draw the...

This DM tool looks like it does one very fun thing, and does it very well: Craft Baldur's Gate style video game experiences for your friends with tons of storytelling potential. It is not a workable substitute for a virtual tabletop, and isn't trying to be. I wanted to say that this system was...

Recap Part 2: Q&A They don't actually read out a specific question. They just address topics based on the viewer questions. Q&A for DM pre-game prepwork video Campaigns - Can create branching campaigns and quests. Noncombat NPCs can be any creature. Examples: Troll, goblin, spider...

Recap Part 1: Pre-Q&A The stream is a mix of the E3 stuff the showed the press and some new Q&A. E3 Accolates - They do a rundown of their E3 accolades. Pre-order Statue Update - They previewed the demon lord Belaphoss statue that comes with the Limited Editions of the game. Approx 12...

Sword Coast Legends Community Manager Ash Sevilla and Design Director Tim Schwalk did a did a video chat with Q&A on the DM tools today. You can find it here: http://www.twitch.tv/swordcoastlegends/v/6852516 And yes, each map's framework is randomly generated based on the parameters you set...

Morrus covered 99% of it. It's like he's answered this question before. ;) I'll toss in that from your likes/dislikes 5e might be an excellent fit. This is also an excellent time to be a retro gamer. If you crave the earlier editions of D&D (you mentioned 1e in an earlier post), they still have...

None of the above. And I'm not a big fan of polymorph of the non-baleful variety. 3e-style Polymorph is the fastest way to bring gameplay to a crawl. "We are fighting an XYZ!? Time to bust out Monster Manuals 1-5 and find a countermeasure." (This is almost a verbatim quote from a session I was...

My mantra: "D&D is not a charity." As a grownup, you don't have to play with someone unless you want to. This is a leisure activity.

Cook and Simbieda are excellent choices. D&D 2e and Heroes Unlimited were my introduction to tabletop RPGs, so they seem like natural choices. Bonus - My Highly Opinionated View on Robotech: Having been a teenager in the 90s, I will never understand the Robotech fandom. I was introduced to the...
