I think the discussion is on point. There are multiple factors that contributed to the success of Dungeon/Dragon. You had a history of quality. You had a base of hundreds of issues before electronic publications. You had the seal of authenticity that is a psychological barrier that...

I love the idea. Coming from the old Silven Crossroads days, I love me some good ezines... but this isnt an ezine...its articles. I like Patreon, and I think its an interesting model for artists, writers, and bloggers... but I dont know if it works for ENWorld. I mean it seems that ENWorld...

I understand the whole touchstone approach, but I agree with the OP's original choice here. He was DMing for his son and friends who were essentially dressing up a dog and dragging it around on a leash as a prize. Very uncomfortable, no matter their fondness for the creature. He chose to...

Am I the only one thats OK with this outcome? I dont think he made a mistake, with new or veteran players. And none of that "its the DMs game nonsense" I know the boys liked the kobold. Life in D&D is harsh. The gods are fickle and fate is a b.... Sure the DM made a call and the boys...

"According to Fox News" Would make a good Cards Against Humanity card.

Yes. Drizzt is a bad drow and should feel bad. :)

This is certainly achievable, but you have to develop the lore of the world you put them in. A small paragraph or two should do the trick. Let the players help define the lore of the fringe races. They can play whatever they want, but make sure they know the uncommon and rare races are indeed...

They could Kickstart a Bioware Infinity Engine 2.0 for 5E in a day. Prolly net $1mil easily. Id love to see a conversion of the old games as well as new games.

5E would translate pretty easily. Less feats than 3.5 (thinking NWN/TToEE). Mechanics are pretty straightforward for movement and conditions. Spells are simplified per damage, with ability to increase said damage built right in. Classes are pretty streamlined. The only thing thats at issues...

As long as Stunning Strike does give the 'incapacitated' condition, no problems at all. Good teamwork. My only question would be what DC and skill check did you give the players to find out the weakness? Cuz if they read the MM and just assumed their characters would know... I wouldnt have...

9. A local noble's basement is infested with rats. Clean them out. 10. Julian at the tanner's guild needs more wolf pelts for his orders. Collect 4 Wolf Pelts and return to Julian. 11. A local mother's boy went missing while playing in the fields outside of town. Find the missing boy. tropes...

I am pretty sure FF1 was developed with a Monster Manual in hand. Some of the monsters are duplicates in not only name, but picture.

I am thinking of involving my wife, soon to be 6 year old son, and maybe my 20yr old stepson into a game. My stepson has played through the Starter Set, and I think Id like to do something different anyways. Suggestions on a great module to run? Doesnt have to be 5e specific, I can convert...

SPOILER ALERT For players that are progressing through Hoard of the Dragon Queen be aware this contains spoilers on chapter 6, Castle Naerytar. SPOILER ALERT Usually I dont write up play reports, but this was just too funny not to share. My 4 players had made a pact with Snapjaw and the...

IM ok with it. Takes the best of Greyhawk, gods and badasses, and puts it in the Realms, which had better locations and flavors.

Im very impressed with this, and have been... just waiting for the OGL so its actually all the info.

I didn't create this.

You could still use the aboleth, but after the PCs find and stop whatever is "enhancing" the aboleths abilities, it weakens it tremendously. In 5E AC doesnt really scale that much out of their range... its more about the CR10 having more HP and doing more damage. So either breaking the...

5E simply allows players to choose that an attack that would drop a monster or NPC to 0 HP knocks them out instead. No special rules, no special rolls... it just happens at their choice.
