I think the fairly obvious problem with this approach is that once you begin to detail exactly what is or is not acceptable, you are bound to that list. By publishing that as a social contract, you become legally bound by it. If a con produces this list of unacceptable behaviors, and some one is...

I think his point is that the base class itself may be fine, but it's the Beastmaster subclass that so many people think is broken. Rather than issue a new class, why not just fix the subclass?

Not particularly accurate. WotC is doing nothing more than protecting their intellectual property. I suspect that MPMB, as OrcPub before him, finally drew enough attention to his sheet that they finally needed to crack down on him. It's an amazing product, and I still use it myself, including...

I read the Gnome Stew interview which answered this. Each ruleset version is considered a "World" for some reason. <shrugs>

I'll be interested to see how it all plays out, for sure. I'd love a BECMI box set, but the price is too steep for my blood, unfortunately. It does seem ambitious, yes, but Frank seems to be trying to do it right and get lots of help. Some hefty pledge levels there though, for what you seem to...

I do see 12.998 in my library, so it's updated there and downloadable even if the latest version I grabbed is older. Sorry to hear WotC cracked down on you - this is a fantastic resource.

Idle Champions seems interesting from what little I've read, but seems like a game that belongs on mobile, so I was a bit confused to see it was only for PC. I'd like to give it a shot and hope it does come out for Android so I can try it on my phone and/or tablet(s). I have an ancient PC and a...

Thanks for the response. I'll have to look at those old Next adventures more closely I guess. Sounds like it'll be worth the time to read them more closely.

One of the things that's been asked for/suggested in the Campaign Manager thread is the ability to write full adventures within DDB using the Compendium format as a template. I think that would be an amazing tool, and could cross with the PDFs over on DMsGuild.

I bought in with PHB, MM & DMG so I have all the basics. SKT and LMoP as I'm running those two for different groups, and hadn't planned on it, but also ended up adding SCAG as well. One of my players has a Ghostwise Halfling, and I wanted the extra player goodies and regional reference...

Maybe a topic for a new thread rather than this one, but I'm curious to hear a bit more about your thoughts on this. Is it because they are all their own little sandboxes as well (Daggerford, Baldur's Gate & Icewind Dale regions), or is there more to it than that? I hadn't really thought about...

At this point the tooltip coding for homebrew hasn't been added yet. It's a feature that's being requested for sure, and they have talked a bit about the hurdles to do that. With the official content, everything is unique - spells, monsters, whatever, but once you open up to homebrew, you can...

Just to add a bit... First, regarding the comments on the various free or inexpensive apps and options that are already available. Those are either based on the SRD alone and therefore limited in content, or they are using the full datasets illegally. Or, I suppose, the tools themselves are...

RE: Homebrew - With a free account you can enter and use your own homebrew, and publish it publicly, but you CAN'T use other people's publicly-published homebrew. With either paid subscription you have full access to the public homebrew also. Now, from what I've read, you can still browse and...

LOL - Unfortunately, that's how we roll here in America. The ridiculous perception that something is cheaper at $99.99 than at $100. It's why Walmart prices things at $xx.98. Such a deal!

The problem is that there are no "official" guidelines for these calculations. There is some guidance in the MM or DMG (forget which), but if you follow those, the results don't agree with the official CR values for monsters in the MM. So, it's a matter of DM opinion as he creates a monster...

+1 to this - that's frickin AWESOME.

There isn't a compelling reason, that's the beauty of it. If you don't need the extra slots, don't need to share your content with anyone, adn don't care about other people's homebrew, then you are good to go with just the free account.

To Darjr's point, while they've said that the apps and their offline capability is a priority, it's something that won't be ready yet by launch, from what I've read so far. Ideally, that changes, but no dates have been announced for that feature.

I'm totally in to buy the core 3 books on launch, as well as LMoP and SKT, as I'm running both of those and having everything in the digital, searchable format is awesome. As someone noted up above, sure I've already got everything in dead tree, but I've blown way more money on kickstarters and...
