    D&D 5E (2014) I think we can safely say that 5E is a success, but will it lead to a new Golden Era?

    I agree that the fan base won't carry the movie on it's own. Having said that, it is the only novel in the top 20 sellers for Dungeons and Dragons, so it would be the best bet of the D&D novels and the real key is to get people to watch the movies/show that hadn't read the book as well. For...

    D&D 5E (2014) I think we can safely say that 5E is a success, but will it lead to a new Golden Era?

    I don't see why the the DragonLance Chronicles couldn't be made into a good profitable movie or 3+ season show on a channel like HBO or Showtime. Back when the books came out there were many things that would have gotten in the way but advancements in CGI should help overcome many of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Egregious TPK retcon in Hoard of the Dragon Queen

    Is that a fun character to have played? Yes, but only once, frequent low level deaths or TPK become frustrating (and annoying) very fast.

    D&D 5E (2014) Egregious TPK retcon in Hoard of the Dragon Queen

    I think that there are ways of fudging the results without having to pretend something didn't happen such as "rolling" low damage when it would kill someone. I think in the OP's case he could have "rolled" low damage and let them know that the blast mostly missed them but that the damage was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting Gold for Higher Levels - 5th Edition

    You could give them about 1/2 as much as the party member with the least amount (or 1/2 the amount of the average party member total).

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting Gold for Higher Levels - 5th Edition

    I would have them tell me their characters story and then make a decision based on it and how much gold you want your players to have. Lets say we were starting at 3rd level and the Fighter said that he had been an low-level officer in the army. Then you could give him 1-6 months worth of...

    D&D 5E (2014) FR Pantheon: Leira

    This website http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Leira lists references and sources for their info. Might be a good place to start looking.

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Elf character

    All 3 would work but Evermeet is seen as the "last home" of the Elves so might work best.

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Elf character

    Evermeet and Evereska are the two biggest eleven settlements left that I know of but there are still a decent number of elves left in Cormanthor (Myth Dranor area).

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms Elf character

    Evermeet? Could also be from the forests around Myth Dranor or Evereska

    D&D 5E (2014) No update to Basic today?

    The new HotDQ supplement is out online, they just haven't updated basic, but they wouldn't need to for HotDQ.

    D&D 5E (2014) Instant gratification versus saving money

    I have been to my LGS only 1 time and while they seemed nice the prices seemed steep as well. So for my $50 I am thinking of getting: 1 PHB (Amazon, $30) 1 new set of dice (Amazon, $7, almost bought at the LGS but they sold the same set for $14, if it had been $10 I would have bought it there)...

    D&D 5E (2014) So, who's ready to Gestalt 5E?

    Necromancer/Assassin who assassinates people and then creates undead out of them to do his bidding.

    D&D 5E (2014) Sleeping in armor

    I think that greatly depends on the person. I love a nice firm bed as long as I have a small blanket or decent pillow to tuck under my head, but my wife needs a super soft bed that she can sink into and 3+ pillows otherwise she doesn't sleep and is sore the next day.

    D&D 5E (2014) Appendix E: worldbooks for all 57 authors?

    While it isn't in appendix E, I would love to see Steve Erikson's world that he uses in the series Malazan Book of the Fallen as a setting.

    D&D 5E (2014) Any authors you think should be in Appendix E but are not?

    While it isn't a "D&D" book Druids by Morgan Llywelyn really impacted my view of Druids (and is just a great book). I have to agree with the inclusion of the orginal DragonLance books, while not not 'Great" writing for many current D&D players it was one of the first "D&D" books that they...

    D&D 5E (2014) Chapters/Indigo and the death of the FLGS

    Huh? 10-20 people posting on a forum means that many more people probably had it that weren't posting (plus multiple people said that they got it from a local store, though not a big box retailer. For instance on this forum we had only 3-5 people who had it and answered questions but it was a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Chapters/Indigo and the death of the FLGS

    I have definitely heard of video games being released early. I was a big NCAA Football player (I have owned every game of it from NCAA Football 1998 till this last one 2014) and every year 10-20 people manage to get a copy early and would post screen shots and give ratings for players on...

    Oops, that means I was reading into the list what I thought should be there. Damn, add him to my earlier list then. Thanks

    D&D 5E (2014) Chapters/Indigo and the death of the FLGS

    Street dates get broken pretty often (I have seen it many times in DVDs, Music and Video Games) sometimes through choice (wanting to give a friend a copy) many times from incompetence or poor training/plan. I am going to bet that the average worker at a large bookstore doesn't know the street...
