    D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide

    5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Dungeon Master's Guide While obviously not able to contain everything I person would want in an DMs guide, this tome appears to be a highlight reel of information that will help beginner and veteran DMs a good guide on how to rule a game of D&D to the best...

    New News Page Layout

    I don't much like this new version, but I agree that the old version can burry articles. Perhaps a combo, the first 1 or 2 articles in full, followed by a shortened list?

    D&D 5E (2014) New DMG Excerpt: It's A Trap!

    They had one job. Display two pages of a book, and they messed it up.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape Lives!

    Here I reworked their story to better fit the description given in the interview. Don't take this too seriously - but my changes are in bold. ;) The workers at the Trapdoor Forge and Magicworks are sitting around the table at the local pub. For months, they had been working on a wonderful...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape Lives!

    Too bad their little story about a stolen tools was not a story of two groups whose ideas for a product drifted apart. That is more understandable. If it was that simple why the stolen magic item storyline? Either way it is clear that they wanted something very different from what Wizards...

    D&D 5E (2014) ideas for an attack on an airship / making the next adventure fun

    Toss a dragon at them. We had an epic fight with a Dragon vs an Airship. The PC's don't have to kill the dragon to defend themselves from one. If the PC's do enough damage 1/4 or 1/2 of its original hp, just have the dragon fly off (not before telling them that he/she will be back when they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Casting Web on a flying creature

    Here is how I would rule it. Cast spell on a dragon at max 60 feet. On the dragon's turn it now must roll a Dex save or be restrained. If it is restrained, it falls to the ground (taking 6d6 damage) and all other's now get to attack at advantage. When the casting player's turn starts, or the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape Lives!

    That would be fantastic for Trapdoor since they could claim breach of contract and get some compensation, if they had a good contract that is.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape Lives!

    This press release is yet another sign of unprofessionalism. Generating a narrative that makes them seem like they are innocent victims and WotC as thieves in the night. The truth is that two companies made promises and one decided it was not working out. Who is the 'bad guy' in all this? Well...

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Excerpt: Creating a New Race

    The character options section is at most 5 pages. It starts on pg 285 and Appendix A starts on page 290. So there are 3-4 pages of guidelines more.

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG excerpt: random magic item tables

    By having the more powerful items on the list at the higher numbers you can easily give the roll a modifier to improve the odds of getting something good. Like Roll on Chart I with a +10

    D&D 5E (2014) Rise of Tiamat Supplement is online

    Getting mad at this is like getting mad at finding a girdle of Goblin strength and complaining that you wasted your points you bothered to put into strength since you could have left it at 8. If you are strength 20 and find Gauntlets of Ogre power, you can mock them and treat them as unworthy...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    If they can create it on their own budget then it will still come out. I suspect they will release for iOS first, then try to generate funds from its sales to fund Android and Web. As long as WotC is fair with its license structure they have a huge leg up on their possible competition.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    I think this means that they will be license more, not less. By funding a project they would hurt themselves if they opened up the license to others, now they can license to anyone and let the best software win. It is a win win, I only wish they had done this from the start. Of course this is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Licensing so far....

    If we are lucky this is the best case scenario. Looks like they will continue to develop their product while WotC can open the license to other products. Perhaps soon Fantasy Grounds will announce an effort to release 5e support. Or perhaps we will get PDF's now. Let the best creators win.

    Just read this on the Dungeonscape beta forums. I guess it is officially vaporware. Greetings friends, Today, we have news that is both sobering and hopeful. Wizards of the Coast and Trapdoor Technologies will no longer be working together to develop DungeonScape for Fifth Edition D&D, and we...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rise of Tiamat Supplement is online

    If a PC becomes a one trick pony (like a fighter with STR 12 using a girdle of giant strength) enemies will note the issue and try to deal with it. Though anti magic shields are a bit on the high end side, I would expect some level of trickery can be brought to bear upon such a PC. Especially...
