    D&D 5E (2014) (Riding) on Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen?

    Are these flying reindeer? Do their noses glow (like a lightbulb)? Have they games?

    D&D 5E (2014) Spells: the Good, the Bad, and the Downright Orcish Grandmother

    The good: the delicious jar of olives on the bottom of page 288. The bad: the art for insect swarm is not on the same page as the spell for insect swarm. So confusing. The orcish grandmother: stuff it, I'm rather fond of my orcish grandmother.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Fifth City - Episode 1: The Gathering

    Rhal gives Korgon a low growl in return. "I most certainly am not," he says to the man's back, the dragonborn's head-crest standing high. "Amisi," he says, addressing the Corps Magi, "you mustn't take such accusations seriously. My motivations are beyond reproach, and investigating me would only...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Fifth City - Episode 1: The Gathering

    "Korgon's question is a good one. It allows us to narrow what is likely a long list of potential targets," Rahl said. "Let us begin at the beginning. This friend of yours, if he gave no indication of how he came upon this information, we can treat nothing as arbitrary. This friend, where did he...

    D&D 5E (2014) So why no PDFs? Is their fear of piracy -that- bad?

    My guess is they'll give you access to the rules in electronic form online with DungeonScape, it will be web-based and not a pdf format. That way they can update the game in real time, you can set your own bookmarks. Text and tables only so you can access it from anywhere and on any device. You...

    Good to hear you're feeling a little better at least Mr. DeWar!

    D&D 5E (2014) Camping is dangerous (how can it be made safer?)

    Oops. Thank you. Still pretty handy.

    D&D 5E (2014) Camping is dangerous (how can it be made safer?)

    I haven't seen Rope Trick mentioned. Even at mid-levels that was our go-to camp spell in 3E, and from what I remember, little has changed. It's a ritual now, and I think the duration has been limited, but for a short rest it's likely all you'll need to keep safe for an hour.

    Well I know what I'm playing now.

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk?

    Those monitors though. You think he get's neck strain from all the leaning?

    D&D 5E (2014) Doubt about perception, sight, hearing, and smell.

    My guess is some of this will be in the DMG (it has been in prior versions), but 5E does seem to strive for a philosophy of 'as the DM, do what makes sense'. For guidance you might open up a 3 or 4E DMG and see what they say about perception range, etc. I've had to write my own rules for scent...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Fifth City - Episode 1: The Gathering

    Rhal was much more interested in giving advice than bathing. He felt himself a top-tier advisor, cerebral and compassionate. But, ugh. Baths. Dragonborn didn't stink. They needed a good wire-brushing, a nail-trim and some scale-shaping if one was vain, but they didn't need to go jumping in a...

    [OOC] Pathfinder: Iron Gods

    Yup, I missed that. If this is the party that gets chosen, we have a party that's pretty balanced.

    [OOC] Pathfinder: Iron Gods

    I'm building the ranger (or slayer) to be more melee, recognizing we have lots of ranged support already. If there's an area we lack it may well be the skill-monkey, which is partially covered with ranger and Alchemist, but maybe not as well as a rogue-type character.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's the 5E plan?

    I don't think we'll see a return of the OGL days, though some great stuff came out of that era, there were some really awful books as well (I remember a book of feats, one feat allowed you to grow extra arms after a deal with an extraplanar). Anyway, the OGL gave WotC competition in the form...

    D&D 5E (2014) fifth edition release schedule ... cart before the horse?

    Not the question I asked. "What would convince you that the content you're ruling out is actually good content?"

    D&D 5E (2014) fifth edition release schedule ... cart before the horse?

    I kind of get the feeling you're not really looking for solutions, but just looking to complain. Which is fine, but everyone trying to offer a solution should probably save their fingers. I think most people here are satisfied because they don't have the same issue with a lack of content. You...

    D&D 5E (2014) Encounter difficulty: how to fix it.

    So I'm not suppose to just pick monsters I think look cool and throw them at my PCs? Let me as you this; why do you hate fun? Seriously, this is good information if only to have the math behind the numbers identified for me.
