After the DMG of 2e, 3e, and 4e, this one deserves an effing A. Not my favorite DMG, but being second to the messy masterpiece of Gygax is a very high praise from me.

The monk's ability to walk through vertical surfaces and liquids. I forgot about it, but now re-reading the PHB I was lik "wow, that's pretty cool".

And this could take even more time in the chaos of a real battle where your life is threatened. Bucklers are very different from shields in that they are usually gripped by the fist, not strapped to your forearm.

Didn't mean to troll at all. Shields are strapped to your forearm. I'm pretty sure it's not realistic removing your shield, attacking with a hammer held with both hands, and then putting the shield back in six seconds. Especially since an attack roll doesn't mean a single attack, but continual...

Common sense? :)

Tiefling is already half-blood. As for dragonborns, I don't think they mate with humans efficiently. :D So what? Brimstone Angles is full of tieflings.

I usually roll several characters with everyone, so even if a character dies during adventure they can pull out another from the stable and possibly recover the corpses.

I would argue with the very large part. Geographically it's smaller than Europe with the base 5 mile hexes. As for content, yeah, there's an awful lot of that, but I've never heard of any campaign using more than a few of the eighteen regions, which is vastly smaller amount of information than...

Wilderlands of High Fantasy. Despite it's name it's a sword & sorcery setting with tolkienian and science-fiction elements. It's a sandbox where a lot of the background info is left vague, so the individual DMs can wok out the details and create their own campaigns. This setting was "points of...

If you're not afraid to convert stuff, Doom of the Savage Kings is a very good mini sandbox adventure. Most of the Goodman Games modules are pretty easy to insert into a sandbox too.

By the way I can wholeheartedly recommend their DCC RPG modules. Of course you'll have to convert monster stats and items, but they are great - especially those written by Harley Stroh. The 5e adventures don't seem to be that impressive so far.

Sure. But it's corny as hell written like this. It feels like some B-movie from the eighties.

People talking about sword & sorcery, without mentioning Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar books? How dare you!

War-Lock. I like that title.

Sure, and leave out monsters from the Monster Manual for that? It already got bigger than they planned, and the NPC/animal section is pretty compressed.

And thus I purchased my second PHB. Who knows when will it come handy. Thanks!

Another monster book. I need more monsters. I like stupid monsters too.

Stacking advantages and disadvantages would make D&D a dice pool game with some players.

I don't recall there being exact rules for that. I would let the player choose the feat after choosing race and class.

I'm pretty sure they will sell print books. They did for their previous projects, plus FGG/Necromancer don't hate money. :)
