    FRINGE--Final Season. Final Fight/An Origin Story#5

    Me too. Good character driven story. Maybe it's because of the whole invasion angle but I feel like it's not as 'fun' as the past few seasons. Even while they were dealing with world ending scenarios they were able to put in some light-hearted moments. I hope they bring back some alternate...

    D&D 5E (2014) Saving Throw question

    Hi, Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find a clear answer. Do you succeed on a saving throw if you tie the DC (like checks) or do you have to beat it (like contests)? Thanks.

    [October] What are you reading?

    Fished Deathwish by Rob Thurman; the 4th Cal Leandros novel. Thought is was an improvement on the 3rd but feel that the series is losing steam. About 100 pages into Citadels of the Lost: The Annals of Drakhis Book 2 by Tracy Hickman. Picks up right were book one left off. Fun read so far...

    FRINGE--Final Season. Final Fight/ In Absentia #2

    I liked it better than the season premiere; more character development. I'm curious to see where the hunt goes but can't help but feel like things were left hanging back in the 2010's.

    D&D 4E Poll about your interest in 4e

    Most of my group bought the 3 core books when 4E came out, even though some in the group had doubts based on the previews. We played for a about a year and ran two different campaigns. At the end of the second we decided 4E wasn't for us. I had picked up the FR books and PHB 2 during that...

    FR novel help

    I' agree with the Erevis Cale and Realms of ... recommendations. I'd add the Best of the Realms series as well. I'd also recommend any of the books in The Harpers series particularly the ones by Elaine Cunningham. A couple of these involve RSEs (Realms Shaking Events) but are a good read: *...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo / Pathfinder announcements at GenCon?

    Can anyone tell me or point me to a place that summarizes any announcements by Paizo about future plans given at GenCon? Thanks.

    Yet another houserule for overnight healing

    Good point, for some reason we interpreted the rule to only being able to roll 1 HD during a short rest with the daily limit equal to your HD total. After reading the rule again, I'm unclear if you can even regain hit points during a short rest without a healer's kit. I like the CON idea...

    Yet another houserule for overnight healing

    I'm sure everyone is sick of these but I want to throw it out there anyway. Most of my group dislikes the full recovery after a long rest mechanic (we're going to have our 2nd D&D Next session today). I mentioned this approach in the "Please Reconsider" thread but I'm pretty such it got lost...

    Errors

    My guess would be that is has to do with it being wielded two-handed. It would equal 1.5 x Str modified (rounded up). I noticed that the bastard sword goes up a die when used two-handed. I wonder if that was an option as some point for all two-handed weapons and that's why the battleaxe does...

    Hit points & long rests: please consider?

    I think this is one of those cases where one side is not going to convert the other to his/her way of thinking. I'm wondering if the core rules can't have either a couple of options listed under a topic or the good ole optional rules sidebars under the topic. Example: Full Rest General...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Blog: Tone and Edition

    Have to admit I like the idea of tagging the races with common, uncommon, rare as it applies to what a DM allows in his or her campaign: Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible

    What would you like to see happen with FR?

    I'd like to see them divorce the novels from being "canon" for setting books.

    [March] What are you reading?

    Just started The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny About four chapters in and liking it so far. Book weighs a ton. Finished Undone Deeds by Marc Del Franco Somewhat disappointing ending to an otherwise great series. While I can live with not all questions being answered, the book pretty...
