    [UPDATED] Issues With Official D&D 5E Spell Cards?

    This is highly unusual. I'm a big purchaser of Flames of War stuff and Battlefront has been nothing but awesome to me. Then again, they are getting Games-Workshop-itis, so who knows?

    D&D 5E (2014) My Ideal Release Schedule

    Well, it's been 3 whole months, so we've pretty much played the game out and exhausted every possible story line with the core books. I, for one, have played every class to 20... twice. Also, we don't really want to play unless we think WotC is super hyped about our home game. ;P

    [LPF] Return to Boar's Ridge

    Darvus Andar, Paladin of Helerion Darvus wastes no time in the kitchen, and turns to go down the stairs. Double-move to the stairs and go as far as he can; stopping at darkness if he encounters it. Darvus Andar AC: 16 (15 flat-footed, 11 touch) HP: 25/29 CMB: +7 CMD: 18 Fort: +7 Reflex: +5...

    N.E.W. Character Creation Book [Feb 2015]

    Sorry to bother, Morrus, I found a few more things I think might be typos: * Athlete has [unarmed combat], while Felan and Prison have [unarmed fighting]. Are these supposed to be the same? * Drifter has gaming and performing. Are these supposed to be [gaming] and [performance]? * Bounty Hunter...

    N.E.W. Character Creation Book [Feb 2015]

    Hey Morrus, I'm looking at the NOW character creation book, and I had a question: if you combine NOW and NEW, do the PSI and CHI stats overlap, or are they kept separate? And will the OLD "power" stat work the same way?

    N.E.W. Character Creation Book [Feb 2015]

    Our go-to sci-fi game right now is a hodge-podge of West End's d6 Star Wars, Heavy Gear, with magic, jedi, and gun kata. It's completely over the top, ridiculous fun. It's also extremely ad hoc and cumbersome. OLD+NOW+NEW looks like a perfect fit for our gaming group.

    Morrus, I can't express how giddy I got seeing that NOW preview. Klingons, Jedi, and Gun Kata = best kitchen sink ever made. EVER. MADE.

    N.E.W. Character Creation Book [Feb 2015]

    I have been all over the place looking for a good universal RPG. I've gone through GURPS (too crunchy), Savage Worlds (not crunchy enough), and even Silhouette CORE (oh god, no NOOOO!) and nothing satisfies. Crossing my fingers; so far it looks great. I LOVE the Burning Wheel-esque organic...

    [LPF] Return to Boar's Ridge

    Darvus stays close to Tamarie as she enters the kitchen. Move to K30 and ready an action to attack any ambushers. Darvus Andar AC: 16 (15 flat-footed, 11 touch) HP: 25/29 CMB: +7 CMD: 18 Fort: +7 Reflex: +5 Will: +5 Perception: -1 Initiative: +1 Smite Evil: 1/1 Lay on Hands: 3/4 Current...

    FYI, the "Navy Tour" career has no attribute adjustments. Was that intended, or a typo? It's the only one like that.

    Ah, thanks! And is REP an available option as a human's boost attribute?

    N.E.W. Character Creation Book [Feb 2015]

    Hey Morrus! I notice origins and careers add to REP. Where will REP go on the final character sheet and worksheet? Currently it's on neither. Will it go with the other attributes? EDIT: And if so, does it start at 3 like other attributes?

    So What IS Happening to Tabletop Roleplaying Games? Dancey & Mearls Let You Know!

    On prep: I want to be an improvisational DM. I MUST be because I don't have the time to plan. If WotC can help me with this, then I would be thankful. On cross-media: Giving up? No. If they can replicate Baldur's Gate, and make people like young me go "OMG this is the funnest thing ever, what...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Anyone Using Variant Encumbrance?

    I generally don't use encumbrance rules because it weighs the game down, and as GM, when it comes to enforcement I have to do all the heavy lifting. /duck /run

    D&D 5E (2014) I Failed My Kobayashi Maru Scenario

    My own feelings are in agreement; the death of an NPC only worries me so long as I am in character. But this particular GM isn't just DM'ing for random people; it's his kid. There's a time for tough love but I don't know that a D&D game is it. That being said, one of the most hilarious gaming...

    D&D 5E (2014) I Failed My Kobayashi Maru Scenario

    The temptation for me, as a DM, would be to let them raise Snik, and then have Snik do as kobolds to and betray the party at the first turn. But thinking about it, this is wrong.I would take a page from Joss Whedon's book. In every comic, TV episode, and movie he writes, he is guided by a first...

    Character Level Up Approvals

    Don't worry. We'll soon have our resident naysayers here to explain to us why this is further proof that the game is doomed. DOOOOOOOMED, I SAY! :P
