    D&D 5E (2014) What's the point of gold?

    I have only DM-ed 5e up to level 4 and haven't given out any magic items, but so far they haven't had too many problems. Creative players and good strategy/tactics seem to help out a lot.

    QUESTS OF DOOM For D&D 5E Is Here!

    After you have paid, you get redirected to a page displaying your username/password which you can use to login and download the adventure. It took 1-2 hours before I got the confirmation mail. I browsed through the adventures and my initial impression is a bit mixed. The quality of the...

    AD&D 2E Yup, it's confirmed, 5E is the easiest version to run since 2E.

    Yeah, the same here. 5e actually looked worth purchasing, and still feels worth it after the purchase. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Am I the only one that dislikes Adventure Paths?

    I agree with the OP, even though adventure paths has some strengths like preparation time. I really prefer shorter adventures or sandboxy adventures like Red Hand of Doom. Currently I am running a 4e campaign that has used some homebrew (level 1-2), Reavers of Harkenworld (level 2-4)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Analyzing 5E: Overpowered by design

    What's up with arguing about what class is the best? It's going to be soooo circumstancial I don't know why you are even bothering. Anyway, comparing to earlier editions, there are quite a lot of abilities that feels overpowered in 5e. This might feel like a problem initially to a previous...

    Any chance you will do a review of one or more of these adventures? I would certainly find it really valuable. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Reasons Why My Interest in 5e is Waning

    I feel this is true - in a way. There can be too many rule books and rule supplements. On the other hand, there can't be too many adventures, campaign settings or supplements on how to build a campaign. I am very much relieved that the 5e rules still only consists of three books. They could add...

    D&D 5E (2014) I love 5E

    Here's the issues you mention: 5) Serious Lack of Digital Tools. 4) No PDFs (except for the basic game) 3) Nothing Much to Look Forward To/Lack of Product Diversity 2) The Waiting 1) No OGL (or some kind of compatible license). Now, number 4) wouldn't really be a problem if it wasn't for 5)...

    D&D 5E (2014) Moon Druid in Lost Mines of Phandelver

    Writing rules with the intention of making them "water tight" and not abusable instead of saying here are the rules, we did the best we can and if there is something that's ambigious where one interpretation ruins your game, interpret it differently is prone to failure. 4e went the errata-way...

    [UPDATED] Pie For Everyone, Just Sliced Very Thinly: The Economics of RPG Book Production

    I think the review section of this site is a great way to increase sales. I read Calidar in Stranger Skies in a thread about why one should play in Mystara. I checked out the kickstarter (which had gotten funding) and finally bought it due to the really good reviews it had gotten. The reviews...

    "Tabletop D&D Has Lost Its Way" Says Pathfinder Video Game Exec

    I read the: "We were having a hard time figuring out how to move forward with Dungeons and Dragons." as: "We can't get a licensing agreement with WotC". Which is a bit sad.

    EN5IDER and TRAILseeker Are Coming Soon!

    Have I understood correctly that you subscribe to the articles at a pre-determined price per article, but you can set an upper limit per month (so, let's say 1$ per article, max 5$ a month?). Is there a way to say which articles I actually liked? There is mentioned adventures as well, is there a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Scaling Lost Mines of Phandelver for 1 or 2 PCs

    I ran a session with just two players. We ended up using a on screen NPC controlled by the players (a fighter) and an off screen NPC (cleric) controlled by the DM for healing purposes. This worked out very well, and I didn't change any encounters. This was a bit into the module, at level 3...

    What's a Freelance RPG Writer Worth?

    Paying per word must really make the writers pad their stuff. No wonder RPG's are so verbose. Why write concise rules and get paid less! Personally, I find they pay discussed here appalling. I think 12.50$ an hour is really bad, while 1.25$ is just not OK in any way. Personally, I would be...

    D&D 5E (2014) magic items prices

    It kind of depends: is there any magic item creation in the campaign. According to the DMG, that's up to the DM. If there is magic item creation, I kind of agree with you, if not, magic items might very well be several magnitudes more rare than mundane items, in which case my conclusion makes...

    D&D 5E (2014) magic items prices

    Now, the reason, as I see it that there is no price list in the DMG, is that even though there is both supply and demand, the market is not liquid (as in financial terms). Not having a set price on items makes sense if depending on a situation, the price assumed for a Longsword +1 is either...
