I'm with you on this. I finished the game and really enjoyed it. I was actually looking forward to Rage of Demons. I feel if they had finished up the toolset updates they were promising, they might have seen things turn around. There were a lot of people who were waiting to purchase based on...

Essentially, it was this: They got +1 DEX, +1 CHA, were small in size, had a movement of 25 feet and immunity to fear. They could taunt (CHA(Performance) versus target's WIS(Insight)), and if the target of the taunt failed the contest, they had to use their next action to either attack the...

I have had many players play a kender over the years, and none of them stole from the party. The last one, during the 5e playtest, was a competent warrior who sometimes had useful items in his bag he picked up along the way that came in handy. The version of the kender in the playtest didn't...

Why would anyone want to play in the Dragonlance world of Krynn when the story has been resolved? Same reason people want to play in Middle Earth, when that story is long resolved. There are more stories to tell. Also, Dragonlance, like any other setting, is only as goofy as the DM makes it. A...

When players encounter monsters in my campaign for the first time, they learn as they go. For example, if the wizard hits a monster with a lightning spell he might ask if it seemed to damage the monster. If it did, I will let him know. If the monster resisted or is immune, I just tell them that...

According to the dictionary, Humanoid in noun form means: a being resembling a human in its shape. Centaurs don't qualify due to their shape, having an appearance that is more like a horse. An Orc, a Minotaur or even a Mermaid are representative of the human shape, albeit altered. That is why...

If they do Kender, I hope they do them the same way they did them in the playtest; because, I thought they were well handled. We had one in our playtest group for a while, and it was pretty awesome.

I was a player in an evil campaign some time ago. Evil campaigns can be awesome if played right. Find a reason for a party to bond and give them a goal, and you can have an evil campaign you'll never forget. Here's an example from my own experience: Being evil characters, we approached...

You won't recapture the same feeling you had with the original group at 16, but you can create new feelings, sometimes better ones. I had a group I played with in high school and into the 1990s. Then, I had another group in the late 1990s. Then another in the 2000s. Then another in 2008...

There are a couple of references to Dragonlance in the PHB. I hope they're planning to do something with that.

Luck already exists in all games that use dice. It is what they represent. You are adding skill to that. No need for a separate attribute.

This is exactly what I was going to ask. Some people seem to have a knee-jerk reaction to how 5th Edition reads versus how it plays. Most of us have played it enough to know it works, but when you come from other games (Pathfinder, for example), some people tend to not see the forest for the...

I'd love to see them bring back the one thing from 4th Edition that I actually miss: Minion monsters.

My players are currently 14th level. I allowed both feats and multiclassing in the game I run. The outcome is that the feats that were taken do some occasional cool things, but don't break the game in any significant way. And no one has multiclassed at all, despite having the option. 5th...

No rolls. Roleplaying. That's how you find out information.

Trying to keep some themes going. If anyone has a suggestion for a theme, let me know. This time, it's city streets:
