Large PC races would also lead to even more silliness with grappling rules.

I convinced an acquaintance to run some "Introduction to 3-D Printing for Tabletop Games" workshops at Gen Con this year. Three sessions filled up in 30 minutes, so the interest is out there. He may end up adding two more sessions if they can find the space.

Two friend and I have started a D&D/Gaming related podcast entitled "The Grognards". We don't view it as a pejorative :) I can be found on iTunes and Soundcloud under the LAG Network if anyone is interested.

City of Brass 6-2=4 Free City of Greyhawk 5+1=6

I played years ago with Tim Brown (who later went on to work on Darksun) GMing. He is a musician and at random times would tell us what muzak was playing in the complex. I don't recall most of the songs, but all of them were hilariously titled. The most memorable being "Send in the Clones"...

I run my game this way and have adopted some homebrew rules to account for it. 1. Increase monster hit points, sometimes up to double. 2. Any attack abilities except for the primary attack use a bonus action. e.g. A dragon will claw/claw/bite as an action and then Breath as a bonus action...

When I was in graduate school I went to a University-wide poster session and met a fellow grad student. I told her I was doing stuff in AI (Artificial Intelligence), she said she did AI research too! After a few minutes discussing our research studies, both of us realized my "AI" was not her...

Not every character should be able to do all the same things. The fighter is heavily armored and can dish out consistent single target damage, running away is not something they excel at. That is one of the problems I see in 5e, every character class is gradually becoming a big bucket of mush...

Oh yay. More halflings with gigantic heads... Seriously, that is the worst artwork in the entire PHB and they decided to stick with it in a supplement?

I thought the same thing! I had read the books as a teen, and when I saw the entirely mediocre TV series I saw a rusted car and remembered that it was supposed to be a post-holocaust setting. I had totally forgotten about that part.

"Alex says that "Pen and paper is a dying art. Computer games, video games, they’re the next generation, the next wave of games and I’ve always wanted to see them on that new medium and I’ve always wanted to be working with someone who’s excited as I am about it.”" Not sure about this. I keep...

"D&D is a game of imagination. If some group wants to battle or play fictional characters, more power to them." Was the first line of my response. I am not so presumptuous as to tell others the correct way to play D&D. If they want to play Gandalf and Frodo, and have fun doing it, then I say...

D&D is a game of imagination. If some group wants to battle or play fictional characters, more power to them. I have never ran, or played in, a campaign based on fictional characters but I have based many NPC's on fictional characters. Having a well developed mental image of a character helps...

I do something similar, PC's get max at 1st level then roll each level thereafter. If they roll less than the die average, they take the average. I think it works out the same as your system mathematically.
