    Beverly, MA: Tuesday Night D&D Group In Search of Adventurers

    Re-Bump. Still looking for a couple of reliable players -- recently lost one to Wisconsin and another to life responsibilities (we're at 5 players, if everyone shows up -- we have room for 1-2 more). We've just begun a Dragonlance Classics campaign, using the D&D Next playtest for rules...

    Beverly, MA: Tuesday Night D&D Group In Search of Adventurers

    Down another player, due to the beast called life -- figured I'd hit this ad with another bump. We seem to have 4-5 regulars now, but could use another to round things out.

    Beverly, MA: Tuesday Night D&D Group In Search of Adventurers

    Bump. Still looking for a couple reliable players -- just lost one to Wisconsin. We've just begun a Dragonlance Classics campaign, using D&D Next for rules. Please post or PM me if you're interested. We play Tuesday nights, typically from about 7 pm - 10 pm ish.

    D&D 5E (2014) LL- Subclasses and Complexity

    In addition, there's already a precedent for Warlock just being another casting style for Mage -- Spells & Magic, from AD&D 2e.

    Beverly, MA: Tuesday Night D&D Group In Search of Adventurers

    Pun Intended - Our regular Tuesday night gaming group is looking for 1-2 extra players to round out our occasional group of 7 (usually up to 6 players and a GM). Due to work/life taking it's toll, our group has been hanging around 3-4 regular players and a GM lately, so we're looking for 1-2...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls live streaming of DnDNext with R&D superstars

    We have to continue to keep in mind that this is still a work in progress and that the combat you're looking at is with the core of the system -- they've repeatedly indicated that there will be a more complex tactical module for those that want it. One of the most vocal criticisms from D&D fans...

    Boston Game Day - May The Fourth Be With You (PLAYER SIGN-UPS)

    Hey Umbran -- was sorry to hear you guys couldn't make it. Good luck with everything for Percy. Just want to thank FickleGM for hosting a fantastic Boston Gameday, and to LordBill and FickleGM for running some exciting games today. Was good to see everyone I've met before and rarely get to...

    DND - Chronicles of Mystara - Old Capcom Arcade Games getting re-release

    Tower of Doom started out near Darokin or in Darokin, and one of the stage bosses was a Shadow Elf. This game was the first time I ever actually wanted to play a cleric -- who wouldn't want to run around a screen bludgeoning monsters and occasionally booming out with "STICKS TO SNAKES!" June...

    Hey Fickle, can you put me down for Sertorius in the AM and your Steam Wars game in the PM? Thanks!

    [Playtest 2] Races: Humans too good?

    I was apprehensive at first about it too; however, the more I think about it, the more I like it... Everyone caps at 20 anyway--if both a high elf and a human started with an Int 18 base wizard, neither outshines the other as the pinnacle in their field. Sure, if they start out with lower base...

    [Playtest 2] Weapons and Armor

    Rogues with Katanas ?!?!? I'm surprised I haven't seen this posted anywhere else yet--Katana made the new equipment list--as a two-handed finesse weapon. Being only a d8 damage for a two-handed weapon, this may or may not be a loophole worth exploiting by rogues. On another note--bastard...

    Quick Playtest Report

    It's also faster if you roll two d20 simultaneously for advantage/disadvantage. Passing on the extra die for advantage because you've already hit might have you miss out on a crit.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Blog "Avoiding Choice Traps"

    The latest blog post is up: Avoiding Choice Traps I think the smartest design choice they could make is to go with feats granting bonuses for all three pillars; I've avoided quite a few interesting role-playing/exploration feats for fear of gimping my characters.

    "Dungeon Command" What's This Then?

    Well, it's already a three set release; the third set (goblins) comes out in August...

    Lair Assault: Attack of the Tyrantclaw

    We've been doing the same thing since Encounters, realizing completely by accident during the 1st session of Forge of the Dawn Titan that we could just lift the plexiglass instead of going through the hassle of noting where everything was on the map pre-flip (we used it mostly to mark any zones...

    Lair Assault: Attack of the Tyrantclaw

    For the resource items, I just used the trap and hazard tokens from the encounters packs for the crossbow/balista and crates, respectively. Unfortunately, the two run-throughs so far have been cut short due to a late start from players not being able to make it on time and the store having to...
