    D&D 5E (2014) Firearms, Explosives and You

    I say giving a wizard a blaster rifle isnt a game balance issue. Seems more like a morality or self-reflective issue on the wizards part.

    D&D 5E (2014) Please someone explain to me

    Sorcerers are just bad wizards.

    Spelljammer Fish out of water campaign - Spelljammer

    Doesnt have to be a biome on a ship. Could very well be an actual village on a planet. Could be that the village was made and settled by survivors of some kind of revolution against galactic powers, and the characters are their children. The chars may have a common bond not knowing who their...

    D&D 5E (2014) DMs: How Do You Handle Metagaming?

    I usually dont worry about it. Most of the time when I throw things like a troll or such with specific weakness, the challenge isnt in identifying the weakness, its exploiting it. Trolls outside in blustery conditions... lycanthropes without silver etc. Like Iosue the above the board combat...

    D&D 5E (2014) Published Adventures: Yea or Nay?

    I think the quality of the PFRPG modules has renewed alot of faith that adventure paths/modules can work. The issue was that the official modules by WOTC really were sub-standard for a while. Combined with the plethora of 3.5 books out there, modules were really a tough starter for groups...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ravenloft in 5e questions

    I enjoyed Expedition to Castle Ravenloft, and dont think it would be too hard to convert. Best to wait for the DMG for treasure equivalents, but everything else should convert nicely.

    Houserule: can no-armour provide a bonus?

    All your NPC spellscasters prepare Heat Metal. Advantage goes to the unarmored. The soft touch approach.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Brief History of Digital D&D

    I skipped some of the console releases, such as the gold box console releases, as well as games like Dark Alliance and Blood and Magic. I didnt want it to turn into a massive comprehensive list mirroring wiki. I will add the Neverwinter MMO as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Weird Situation with Death Saves and Stabilizing

    Seems like an odd situation, but it looks like it handles itself in the rules. As long as hes still engulfed, even though he stabilized, the automatic death save resets the counter and it starts again. Dwarves are hardy... and apparently rubbery.

    Will add now. My google fu failed, but I thought there was at least 1 2e toolset.

    D&D 5E (2014) A Brief History of Digital D&D

    I have a new blog post up about the history of officially licensed D&D products. It is by no means an extensive or comprehensive list, but rather a look at the best known titles as well as some few may remember. A Brief History of Digital D&D Let me know if anything major is missing and be...

    Id like to think you remembered all those posts. But now I know you are using search-fu.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    This is from their features page: A 3.5E fantasy ruleset accompanies the product but the appearance and function can be fully customized to accommodate almost every RPG system. A Full license is needed to create customizations; the host computer automatically distributes the custom ruleset to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    When I read a PDF I have no idea the location of items of content. I might now its 75% of the way down, or 1/4 of the way down. But I have no gauge by muscle memory. Sure I could "search" but then im taking jsut as long, especially on a tablet to type. When I open my PHB to look for a rule, a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    All 4E books were digital. Didnt work out too well for WOTC. They are adapting to THIS industry's market realities.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    Because phones and tablets arent now the same size as books? I dont understand the desperation and stubbornness here. You said the product was good, but now you wont support it, so you are settling for 2nd best? Sounds like a winning life choice.

    D&D 5E (2014) Advice for Running 5E -- Your Experiences

    No 5' steps. AOO on LEAVING reach. Watch for actual reach of large creatures (ogres have 5ft reach). Initiative isn't listed, its just +Dex mod. Watch for rogues abuse of stealth.

    I believe this is indicating the ability to read the DDI articles in archives once they move onto something new for 5e.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fifth Edition Done Rite! Headless Horseman

    First let me say I am sure this is good stuff, like what i've seen of your other creations. But I cant justify $3.00 for a 4 page PDF for a template and possibly some adventure hooks and mount ideas. I know you probably had no control over the price, but a seasonal themed thing like this would...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeonscape no more?

    This type of program with this type of scope is NOT easy. The backbone, which no one ever sees, was most likely 90% of the codework. You are talking about a DRM system with heavy protections, an e-store, with a complex character generator and expandable ruleset codebase. Building a basic...
