Shame but understandable. If they could shift over to a reliable, accessible digital medium I wouldn't mind, though with the caveat with could make printouts for personal use. Of course, policing it would be a nightmare but I do reckon a lot of energy is wasted on trying to prevent piracy, but hey.

While I find studies on players, such as Bartel's 'Taxonomy of player types' and the like fascinating, the reality, for our tables at least, is that the only special quality a player needs to have is the ability to get along with the other players at the table. If they can't, then they can go...

It's a win for digital publishing :) Error? Change, update - done! Though this would be via D&D Beyond? Though saying that, has a rpg publisher ever replaced one of their physical texts with corrected versions? I would guess not, with errata's being released in future documents the accepted...

I do feel for folks that splash out for a physical copy of XGTE tho. At least with a digital product it's relatively quick and painless (and considerably cheaper) to amend errors. A physical copy? Well, I guess folks can stick a printed sheet of the errata into their book - or rebuy an updated...

Some folks like to say, ''Well, its my money, I can spend it where I like, it doesn't effect you!'' ..and ya know? They're.. wrong. It does effect other folks. Spending money on a product is an endorsment of that product - a vote for that product, if you will, to be. Say WoC runs the numbers -...

They live and die by their IP. Granted, nobody around these parts gives a monkeys - I've never seen a hard copy of any Wizards product in the one gaming store that I've found. That's in part due to the exchange rate, and also the lack of distribution. When you're out of the reach of Amazon, your...

Fantasy: Beards. Sci-fi: Trimmed beards.

Sure. And I feel I'm pretty good at reviewing reviewers! :)

See, I want bias, personal opinions, feelings and all that - the whole lot. For me, I'll choose a reviewer based on whether their tastes are similar to my own. How do I know they are? I'll checkout what they were reviewing for myself and compare my thoughts and feelings with their review. If...

Don't think you've missed anything - just make it up. Firstly, ask yourself if you're aok with it? Are you ok with the character boosting the party's cash reserves. If not, then you could outright veto the action. They can consolidate the value of several items and gems into a single item, but...

8th level Eldritch Knight, reporting in! MEGABASH SMASH!

Nothing with a small talking dog. Ever.

To be honest, you're already tailoring the battlefield to the casters. Wide open area for those ranged spells? No roof for the druid? Yup! So aye, don't worry about throwing the monk a solid bone. I mean, the entire thing could take place in a 70x70 area. That would make things very...

I'm am so more more mature than you. My inner child said so. So there. Nah nah nah nah nah :D

One of the monk's strengths is their mobility, so be sure to make the arena more than a simple cage - make it a death trap lair, the jungle gym from hell, complete with pit falls, razor wire tunnels, precarious ledges and the like. Include lots of environmental effects that call for various...

GALACTUS SUSPENDS HIS IMMUNITY FOR TASTY BERRY TREATS. AND NEW FRIENDS.

There's a lot of insecure/lacking in confidence (Cha 8) fighters in the fantasy world, each doing their part, one dead dragon at a time. I, and my beautiful relatively-unsullied royal bride, thank them for their brave efforts.

What about pooe 'ole CONSTITUTION, 'eh? Sure, we all neeeeed it. But do we really *want* it? I mean, the bugger doesn't even get a single lousy skill! All those points, and for what? Just for some hit points and to stop spiders poisoning us. Oh, and we can concentrate a little better? What a...

Thinking about it, a lack of confidence could manifest as a reliance on some tried and tested defence mechanism. Unsure about the situation? Feeling the pressure? Not quite sure what to do? KILL MODE ENGAGED! ..it would at least explain a fair few character's reliance on, 'Break bones...

When building characters, from a RP point of view, I'm finding myself leaning towards average or above Charisma on characters regardless of their class. This is because Charisma, apparently, as well as eloquence and leadership also measures confidence - and while I could certainly build a...
