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

    Has Paizo made this claim? The PF core book is 30 bucks on Amazon vs. 50 on the Paizo website. LGS are going to sell pretty close to the cover price. Convensional wisdom would say that more people would buy it from Amazon. Also there seems to be an underlying asumption (I could be wrong so...

    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 asked Mike this very question. He stated that to his knowledge 3.0 (not 3.5) hit this rank back in the day. He pointed out that back in 2000 Amazon had a lot less sales volume. So evidence is that 5e is outselling (for now) other editions of D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you like the simplicity of 5E monsters?

    I remember feeling this way as well. I remember the frustration of trying to find say a brute (or any role) option that made sense for the encounter and feeling frustrated that I couldn't just throw in "just Gnolls" I've seen the phrase "boring" thrown around a few times one the forums, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen: As it Turns out, it's Pretty Good (so far)

    As I've been reading on in later chapter of HotDQ the adventures do seem to improve. Yes the first episode is written poorly, but the later chapters do seem better and seem to be on par with what I've seen with Paizo's AP offerings.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hoard of the Dragon Queen: As it Turns out, it's Pretty Good (so far)

    I've only read the first two chapters with plans to run it later on. The first episode is problematic for sure, right down to the last encounter which I know that my players would have a big WTH!?! moment if I used the encounter as written. The second episode is definitely better but the one...

    D&D 5E (2014) Advancing NPC's

    There is a section in the MM about npcs. I bet this is a variant on building npcs like monsters

    D&D 5E (2014) How many of your campaigns ACTUALLY ever get to 20th level?

    Level 17 or 18 with Age of Worms. The campaign collapsed under the weight of rules bloat at high level.

    D&D 5E (2014) spells in 5.0

    Yeah one of the guys I played with was reading over his 5e phb and complained that "There is no way to tank in 5e!". Honestly 4e with all the snares and stops was irritating for a DM. I think tanking has been placed with in realistic limits

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Edition -- Help Me Break the Game!

    There was talk over on rpg.net how a Fighter withe the defense Fighting style, in full plate and shield with a level of Cleric and shield of faith works out to AC 23. Granted Shield of Faith is a concentration spell and there is a chance for it to end by taking damage so maybe not a broken as...

    D&D 5E (2014) My thoughts on 5E

    I struggled a bit with the playtest when it came out. But it is really quite easy to make characters once you get the hang of it. I can seriously make them in about 10 minutes.
