    D&D 5E (2014) WTF Wizards of the Coast? *RANT* (video link)

    From the Fantasy Grounds main page. "Even for those wanting to run their games in person, FG helps keep all your information handy and helps keep the game moving along at a fast pace." It is only for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. I know there are ways to install GNU/Linux apps on Android, if not...

    D&D 5E (2014) WTF Wizards of the Coast? *RANT* (video link)

    I didn't watch the video, because THIS. The D&D department is tiny, tiny, tiny, so expecting any digital tools beyond 3rd party licensing is serious wishlisting. Now that the SRD is out, more indie tools are popping up.

    D&D 5E (2014) Monk unarmed strike count as weapons?

    In short, tell your DM to allow it and not be a jerk. It doesn't make sense for a monk to not use it in that way. A DM ruling against fairness and fun is being a jerk.

    CONAN Kickstarter Closes On End; Unlocks d20 to 2d20 Conversion Guide Plus All Conan d20 PDFs

    Holy cow, it jumped up to 435k at the end there. I didn't expect that. I still may jump aboard with PayPal, but I'm not sure about the system or if I can find anyone who would play.

    Was Gandalf Just A 5th Level Magic User?

    So, what if C7 ends up doing D&D better than WotC?

    Can Wizards Avoid Another OGL Glut?

    It's pretty obvious they are jumping aboard the system itself, as 5e is doing great. It looks like The One Ring 5e.

    D&D comes to Middle Earth (from Cubicle 7)

    Cubicle 7 products are like magic in a bottle. So much effort, love and refinement go into each release. Dominic McDowall is all class with a good head on his shoulders. This great news!

    D&D 5E (2014) New Show From WOTC - Dice, Camera, Action!

    The issues with current adventures is odd. If you're going to DM it, watch it. If you're going to play in it, wait until after you've played in it. If you're -meh- about the adventure, watch it. We can also watch it before playing in it and simply not metagame.

    D&D 5E (2014) "The" Lich?

    How about Ioulaum? To Realms arcane historians, he'd be pretty iconic. The first archwizard of Netheril as well as possibly a lich even before Larloch.

    D&D 5E (2014) "The" Lich?

    Vecna, if gods are allowed. Larloch, if not. He is the most powerful Faerunian. For general "all D&D" poster child lich, I'd say Vecna still.

    Fun uses for Flavor Cantrips?

    I am a huge fan of Prestidigitation. My last caster was a Knight of Mystic Fire(order of Mystra) who made constant use of the cantrip. He believed it was his duty to show magic to the masses, from making sparks in his hands for kids, flattening cobblestones in the street or melting snow for...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e - domains and specialty priests

    I want to see write-up for all of the specialty priests from 2nd edition's Faiths & Pantheon's for the Forgotten Realms. I absolutely loved flipping through the deities just to see their priests.

    D&D 5E (2014) Running a 5th edition game where magical healing is rare.

    A big problem with this method of play is the "Let's camp!" issue that comes about, similar to when characters routinely stop between encounters or moving forward to recharge their short/long rest abilities. Forcing a more realistic healing alters the spirit of the combat rules as well, as...

    D&D 5E (2014) What psionic powers do YOU want to see?

    Here is a little more information. MANIFESTING PSIONIC POWERS To manifest a power, a Psion must make a Manifestation Check, which is a d20 roll modified by the character's combined psionic character levels, their Wisdom modifier, and the power's Threshold modifier. A basic power does not need...

    UNITY RPG: The Best of D&D 4E, Pathfinder, & Dungeon World

    I completely understand about focusing on what you have instead of putting more on your plate, and I respect that in a Kickstarter campaign. Thank you for the informative reply! I wish you good luck in your future Kickstarter.

    UNITY RPG: The Best of D&D 4E, Pathfinder, & Dungeon World

    I have a question for you, Anson. I'm definitely interested in the game, but the setting itself doesn't jump out at me. If I used Unity, it would be in a generic role for many settings. Are the rules to be presented in a way to not be completely tied down to the setting? Or could a universal...

    UNITY RPG: The Best of D&D 4E, Pathfinder, & Dungeon World

    I had the same problem. Unity-rpg.com Caught it in one of those teasers after some investigating.

    UNITY RPG: The Best of D&D 4E, Pathfinder, & Dungeon World

    Seems a bit of an oxymoron to me. I'm more intrigued about unified turns and narrative combat resolution. Thanks for the heads-up, Morrus. I'll be keeping my eye on this.

    D&D 5E (2014) What do I need to build a world?

    Excellent advice and very true. I've created both kinds of worlds, and the bottom-up ones always have a little more love in them. Top-down worlds end up feeling like a job and cool off your creativity faster. Lanliss, discosoc said it best.

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins AMA (10:30 AM PST on Thursday, February 25) on DnD subReddit

    I didn't ask any. I try to stay away from Reddit aside from lurking the occasional AMA, but that's as far as I'm willing to dive into that place anymore. That community has been insulted far worse than my '...' comment, and deservedly so. It's known for some bad subreddits and nasty people. Bad...
