    D&D 5E (2014) Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with D&D Beyond and Xanathar's Guide to Everything pre-order

    Aye, Kickstater is not of itself 'stupid'. It does take a certain amount of responsibility to engage with. Sadly, a fair few seem to not understand the role of an investor, and the risks it takes. Back to the OP -- for the folks aok with it. Other than securing sales, what reason is their to...

    Sure! They can reward me for buying the product. Reward loyalty rather than manipulate it.

    Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    Blackmail: force (someone) to do something by using threats or manipulating their feelings. As in 'emotional blackmail'. Perhaps you were thinking of the other meaning? The practice is based on manipulating the emotions of the would-be customer. If you care that much about the product. If...

    Pre-Order DLC comes to D&D with Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    Hey, if enough folks embrace it then so be it - majority vote and all that. And when enough folks choose to support such practices, it becomes the norm.

    D&D 5E (2014) 100 Wilderness Events

    3. You've made a friend. A persistent, relentless, mosquito/fly (as applicable). With a high pitched hum it strikes without warning before fading from sight, only to pester another party member. It's antics make concentration a chore and threaten to distract you as you adventure forwards.

    D&D 5E (2014) GMs of EN World: What player behavior annoys you the most?

    I'm sure many things annoy me about my players, as much as I'm sure many things about me annoy my players. But ya know? We've been friends for over a quarter of a century, and played D&D together from the start. Across jobs, countries, marriages, the whole kaboodle. Best thing I find is to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Long Rest while trapped in an alert Dungeon

    This is where the cunning kobolds unleash their best/worst bards to play around the clock - loudly, badly. Trying to kip with the 32nd rendition of, '1001 Goblins with Beards on the Wall' echoing around the place is going to be.. ..tricky.

    D&D 5E (2014) Building a better Wizard

    The School of Necromancy seems to get a fair amount of flack - it's strength is its undead minions. And yet, in an Edition where the Ranger's pet isn't trusted to act as an independent entity, Necromancer wizards are given the aok to run rampant with a mob of undead minions. Without even...

    D&D 5E (2014) Building a better Wizard

    Anyone tried the Spell Point system from the DMG with the wizard? If so, thoughts/feedback would be appreciated. Edit: I should add: I do like my wizards but the Vancian approach to spell casting, while it makes, 'a' sense, doesn't really do anything for me personally, what in this fancy...

    Healing elixir: potential for abuse?

    Hmm. As the material components are, 'Alchemist Supplies', as the DM you could set a limit to how many potions could be made from said supplies. Of course, it's not stated that the supplies are consumed. Still, it is playtest material - some arbitration is to be expected, depending on the...
