    Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide

    2 out of 5 rating for Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide I caught a look at the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide at the FLGS today, and I was disappointed enough to cancel my pre-order. It's a terribly thin book for the flagship world for D&D, with very little in the way of crunch everyone can use...

    What this heck is this and where did it come from? (Legend of the 5 rings related)

    FFG's L5R site says "Accordingly, the upcoming Evil Portents expansion for the CCG, and the “Atlas of Rokugan” for the RPG, will be the final products for L5R produced by AEG."

    Christian Persecution vs Persecuted Christians

    I'd say that the very fact that you consider your experience to BE the 'baseline' is evidence of white privilege.

    Creating non-stereotypical game worlds

    I jumbled up all the various 'goblinoid' races into the overarching category of 'Beastmen'. They are actually one race that has a much higher degree of individual differences than human have, to the point that to humans it looks like they are composed of several different races. Broad 'types' of...

    Where to start? (Pathfinder or 5th Edition D&D?)

    If he wants to PLAY D&D, then any rules set is fine - the GM will be handling most of the heavy lifting with regards to rules and all the kid has to do is roll dice and do some basic math which will be spelled out right there on the pre-done character sheet the GM will make for him, after going...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    I have seen a similar thing happen in our local area -- having such a statement can soothe nerves. I've had two people come up and tell me 'I appreciate what you wrote. It made me feel safe'. Up front stating such a thing is always good.

    It has begun

    Behavioral science is not 'evil'. It's a study of how and why people engage in certain behaviors. Often it's used in attempts to maximize positive behaviors and minimize negative ones. You've been subjected to it every day of your life, in fact, since it's just a codification of techniques...

    Stupid answers to stupid questions?

    I always assumed that the Beholder anti-magic ray worked on everything but it's own magic, so they could lock down wizards and still be able to death-ray them, turn them to stone, etc with impunity.

    Questions about the Strange

    Speaking of sparking a full-blown existential crisis: Is there any real difference between the two? 'Mad Science' seems to be a catch-all term for 'stuff we can't do with modern Earth technology'. Bodily flight, living stone, etc. Anything that resembles superpowers would fall under that...

    AD&D 1E Ye Olde Ranger of Editions Past (1E-4E)

    Not sure why we even need a separate class for this. Everything they do should be handled by Fighters or Rogues or maybe Druids, with a background choice to get skills and maybe a feat if you want the animal empathy/companion abilities.

    Could the "Warcraft" movie completely over-shadow the "D&D" movie?

    The new movie Enterprise is by far the largest version, and it's only about 2300 feet long (it's around twice the size of the TV show version of the ship). That would be a minuscule amount of mass compared to even a tiny moon, much less an Earth-sized planet. How could you possibly come to that...

    statue of baphomet in detroit - discuss civily

    No, because the definition of 'religion' then tends to get stretched to the point that it could include anything at all. That's a common debate tactic used in the political arena (particularly in education about evolution) in an attempt to classify certain things as 'a religion' so that they can...

    [July 2015] What Are You Reading?

    So far for July: Residue (Jack Bishop) (Volume 1) Steve Diamond. YA SF and horror. I set this aside a few chapters in when Dan Wells' new book (The Devil's Only Friend) dropped, then didn't pick up either :) So far it looks like it has potential. Traitor's Blade by Sebastien de Castell -...
