Thanks Whizbang. Can you elaborate more on Pendragon? What is that? I saw reference to that in another thread as part of some research but I'm not clear on what that is exactly.

Hi All, I'm seeking suggestions, advice, creative ideas, and so forth for a campaign that I would like to put together for my players. This is a campaign based on the 5e rules. The core idea of the campaign is to span the major life events of the PCs - perhaps 30 or 40 years of their...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the 3E style Tielfing will see print as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up in the Monster Manual as an alternative take on the PH Tielfing. Having said that, I like the 4e interpretation of the Tiefling and like the direction.

Absolutely, we are playing a D&D campaign and we are using organizations instead of specific people. I think it works very well! Edit: Let me clarify, we are playing 13th Age in a D&D world and organizations as icons works great!

Our group has been playtesting since the beginning. We started a campaign using D&DN last August loosely based on Chris Perkins Iomandra campaign (absolutely awesome BTW). We have just hit playtest fatigue ourselves which is unfortunate because I believe the next packet is going to be a major...

Ya know, the middle picture of Minsc looks a lot like Chris Perkins!

Took a quick look at it. Impressive!

I like no longer having to track negative hp's. I think the massive damage rule is silly. It may have some effect on low levels (level 1, maybe level 2) but beyond that if you take enough damage to die from massive damage then the math of the game has failed. It just does not make sense to...

All I want is consistency. If there is an L&L article, then it should be written every week. We should be given advance warning when an article won't appear. WotC has a terrible habit of setting expectations and then falling short of them. Is a missed L&L article a big deal? No, but when a...

Personally, I'd like to see a packet with the old school saves. You know Save vs spell, polymorph, etc. D&D has lost a bit of charm ever since those were removed from the game.

Sad to see this stop. I hope they PDF all the articles into one for easy download! Thanks Chris and I hope you carry the torch again soon!

I second the Mississippi term. That would be awesome!

I suspect a new packet, along with the new class after Winter Fantasy. Mearls suggested the class would be released first there and available to everyone else shortly after that. I think that also works for a new packet IMO.

Check this link out for some DDN Concept Art for Forgotten Realms http://t.co/JPAdxPw9 Anyone concerned about clicking the link (or if it does not work) can go to the Wizards_DdD twitter page to click the link themselves. There is some impressive art there!

I thought the event covered a large portion of the concerns of the community and the answers were thorough enough and conveyed positively enough for me to look forward to the next packet.

I think in this case there wouldnt be a need to categorize weapons using simple and martial. The str limitation is what categorizes them. In play for example, few wizards have a str above 11. Clerics and rogues are a bit higher while fighters usually try to max the score out. So, in terms of the...

I remember them too! I've been pretty uninspired so far in how crits have worked so I hope you are right about "fun" crits showing up eventually.

It seems to me that maximizing damage is a pretty dull way of perceiving crits in D&D? Throughout the editions, the game has encouraged extra benefits on critical 1s and 20s for skills/proficiency checks and what have you. Why not have these little extras in combat too? What if each class...

So, in conjunction with that, make weapons limited by Str. One suggestion in another thread was: Str <12 D4 weapons Str 13-14 D6 weapons Str 15-16 D8 weapons Str 17-18 D10 weapons etc This means a fighter with 17 Str, for example, would be willing to use any d10 weapon he can get his hands on...

So a broad question then. If skill is the largest percentage of damage, what is the best way to display that? IMO, I think multiples of the weapon dice make sense - such as 2w, 3w and so on. Taking this further, what if the standard weapon was 2w damage at first level? I think there could...
