    How challenging should encounters be?

    ...Not strange at all, but maybe we're not communicating effectively. The whole poll is simply a question of how tough players like their encounters. Some like them very challenging, others do not. ...A 25% chance of failure per encounter is challenging. However, it's not a cumulative...

    How challenging should encounters be?

    ...Challenging encounters employ the basic risk vs. reward concept that rpg games are founded upon. It's why every DMG has a section detailing how to design encounters of varying difficulty levels to challenge pcs. Designing an encounter with a 99% chance of success is not one that does a good...

    ...Yes, my PF binding is bad as well. I have an old Chessex Dragonskin (vinyl book cover) that I put on a book when I take it out of the house, but it doesn't fit my PF book.

    D&D 5E (2014) Are DMs getting lazy?

    ...I think it's more that people see a steady release of adventures as a major sign of health and support for a new edition. IMO, the lack thereof has some people questioning how fully committed Hasbro is to supporting the game.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is this guy legally publishing 5e stuff?

    One of the biggest problems that I can see, is that two of his products are entitled "DnD 5th Ed Beginning Adventure Pack" and "DnD 5th Ed Adventure Pack". That's taking it a bit farther than simply stating it's 5th ed. compatible. Those titles have copyright / trademark violation written all...
