    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I would say pick the option that feels the most like a pirate to you. Personally, I feel like tempest feels more pirate like, but I'm sure there's an interesting angle to go with a pirate life cleric. Also, QL has a houserule to discourage heavy armor use in the game (Errol Flynn didn't swing...

    AD&D 2E Is 5e Basically Becoming Pathfinder 2e?

    I'm not an 'old school' gamer, but I think I would question whether a highly deadly game and allowing player options are mutually exclusive ideals. If you guys need players for your group and you have a small population to draw from, then I would encourage you to boil your game down to its...

    AD&D 2E Is 5e Basically Becoming Pathfinder 2e?

    I DM for a group that I pulled together near the beginning of 5E. We're all adults so we don't get to play as often as we'd like, but we still enjoy it. Of the group, only myself and my good friend had played any D&D before. The four other players were completely new to D&D and to tabletop...

    Xanathar's War Mage is Gandalf, Dr Strange, and Elric

    I imagine it will. It just may be a while before we see it though. Still excited for the book though.

    Xanathar's War Mage is Gandalf, Dr Strange, and Elric

    I'm fine with the War Wizard, but I'm sad about the Lore Master getting scuttled. I know the Lore Master needed to be tweaked/toned down, but when I play a wizard, I really want him to be the smartest guy in the room. Doubling proficiency in Arcana (without multiclassing into Knowledge cleric)...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] QL's Al-Qadim Game

    There was an update from one of QL's friends in another game he runs. He may be dealing with some things at the moment. I don't think we need to pry, but I'm sure he'll come back when he is able to. He's been on ENworld for 13 years. He'll be back.

    Xanathar's Warlock Celestial

    Morrus you may have missed it, but they did a video for the Shadow Sorcerer too. https://twitter.com/DnDBeyond/status/915604776443797505 *edit* I feel dumb because I didn't check the forums. There's a long thread about it that would probably make a great news post for the front page.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you allow third party material in your game...

    I allow 3PP material and homebrew material. I'm actually running an adventure path that had a companion book full of player options (new archetypes and such), and I asked everyone to choose one of those archetypes (getting my money's worth from that kickstarter). In my normal game, I allow...

    Mentzer's Epic Worlds of Empyrea Kickstarter Launches For 10 Game Systems!

    I wish them all the best, but there wasn't anything in there that really grabbed my attention and made me want the product. I didn't watch the video (I never watch the videos), but I don't know what makes this setting special other than Mentzer's name and the list of contributors (but no sense...

    Jeremy Crawford Talks Xanathar's Horizon Walker

    There are a few reasons that the sentiment might be out there. The first is that it could impact AL play. The second is that some people enjoy having their content in the books in an official capacity. Perhaps they find more usability from having it within a book versus a digital format or...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    You'll want to wait on Quickleaf to let you know about the slot. He's our DM. The character creation stuff is all in the initial post of this thread. Just scroll down until you see it. It's hidden by spoiler blocks. A lot of the info is also hosted in a group that QL made. You can check...

    D&D 5E (2014) So, People Who Said 5e Would Crash & Burn Were Wrong...

    Allow me to apologize for assuming a motivation. I meant it more as an illustration. Your initial post had a victorious tone to it with 5e's success (which I'm thrilled about, by the way. It's my favorite edition and the only thing I play). I hope you won't let my failure to properly guess...

    D&D 5E (2014) So, People Who Said 5e Would Crash & Burn Were Wrong...

    There is something that is most visible in sports that happens in every hobby. Some fans enjoy speculating. Many will speculate without basis. If you know a big sports fan, they can probably tell you about the mountains of articles that predict an entire season based on spring training or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Husam offers a bow. "Thank you for your hospitality. It is probably time for the rest of us to return as well." He turns towards Usqual, "I greatly enjoyed your story, sir. I hope that we will meet again and I pray that Fate brings you the opportunity to reclaim your stolen waters." Husam...

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    Husam notices the subtle hints of disquiet about the monk and shifts slightly to be ready for an attack. He keeps an eye on Lal waiting for a signal just in case. "Master Usqual was just sharing a story with us. You would have enjoyed it. He is an incredible storyteller."

    D&D 5E (2014) Al-Qadim Moving Through the Flame

    "Thank you for the story, noble Usqual. It is the first I have heard of the history of your people. I was always taught to seek out the wisdom of every tale and treat it like treasure. I see two pearls in your tale. Some burdens can only be carried alongside others so the wise man should do...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    There are times when I feel completely out of my depth when writing a post. That was one of those times. Fingers crossed something productive comes out of it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Spell & Crossbones

    Blaise offers a wide smile, “I would not disparage the salvation that we come to offer you so quickly if I were you, Nicolás. That is your name, isn’t it? Nicolás de Atrejo of the Spanish Navy. My friend and I have gone to considerable lengths to have this conversation with you. Salvation is...

    [5e] Spell & Crossbones

    I'm actually trained in Persuasion so if QL wants to go that route, he can add my proficiency mod to the roll (+2 or 3). I didn't remember the one skill per encounter. I'm not worried. I'm perfectly okay with stealing this guy's leg. *edit* We're level 4 so +2.
