    WotC Hasbro Reports First Quarter Earnings

    Sure, maybe we'll try to find the spare time to do some exploration at the Moathouse and a bit of social interaction at the village of Hommlet. It builds character, after all! ;)

    WotC Hasbro Reports First Quarter Earnings

    I've played with all that stuff and I think this is well-deserved. I can't wait for the toddler to grow up, so we can run around the house doing some harsh battle with nerf weapons. Who needs geeky Dungeons & Dragons anyway?

    D&D General Nostalgia : Thief Percentages

    If you consult the chapter on Time and Movement, you'll get a base climbing chance for every character. As a 2e DM (yes, I still run AD&D 2e to this date), I consider thieving skills to be a special ability that runs apart from the base system. For example, every character can try to sneak past...

    D&D 5E (2014) What does Midgard do that Forgotten Realms and Wildemount don't?

    I love that idea. It remembers me of the Paths of the Wyck in Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade, which is one of my favorite RPGs. Thanks for all the input, and keep it coming, please! I'm finding that maybe Midgard is even more to my taste than I expected.

    D&D 5E (2014) What does Midgard do that Forgotten Realms and Wildemount don't?

    This is a big draw for me. To this day, whenever I'm starting a new campaign in the Realms and players ask me when we'll start, I'm always answering "1372 DR" because I just can't resist having the 3e FRCS as one of my main resources.

    D&D 5E (2014) What does Midgard do that Forgotten Realms and Wildemount don't?

    It looks a lot like a map of Europe/North Africa/Near Asia. I expect to see a lot of cultural analogs, but should I expect geographical analogs as well?

    D&D 5E (2014) What does Midgard do that Forgotten Realms and Wildemount don't?

    I decided to start a conversation here Inspired by this thread. I've got the Creature Codex, the Tome of Beasts, and the Midgard Heroes Handbook, but I've mostly mined those books for new crunch. Recently, though, I started considering the possibility of also picking up the Midgard Worldbook...

    D&D 5E (2014) What’s So Great About Medieval Europe?

    Not really well-versed into Pugmire, but from what I learned at the time of their KS campaign, I believe dogs wear clothes because their culture revolves around emulating humans the best they can.

    D&D 5E (2014) What’s So Great About Medieval Europe?

    It's worth pointing that this has been the object of discussion for academics in the field of Epistemology, and I don't think they arrived at a definitive stance on that matter to this date. Maybe you should agree to disagree... :ROFLMAO:

    D&D 5E (2014) What’s So Great About Medieval Europe?

    I'd love to have an Arabian Nights setting. I miss my Al Qadin and I believe Middle-East traditions are full of great stuff one could mine for fantasy role-playing. If I got the chance, I'd even create a Final Fantasy Tactics-style Calculator class or Wizard subclass, to honor the protagonist of...

    That's the kind of costume I'd expect to see someone wearing in a costume party themed around sexual fantasies... :ROFLMAO:

    D&D 5E (2014) What’s So Great About Medieval Europe?

    But then you're appealing to a very specific phenomenon for which I don't think the concept of cultural appropriation being discussed here applies. Blackface (or brown/yellow/redface, for that matter) has its roots on historical structural racism and when seen on current cultural production...

    D&D 5E (2014) What’s So Great About Medieval Europe?

    You proved the existence of the concept, and I've never disagreed with that. You have yet to prove that this is a general rule observed by society. I still don't think it is. More even so, as I've stated earlier, I don't even think most of society cares about that. I know that I don't. And I say...

    D&D 5E (2014) What’s So Great About Medieval Europe?

    As usual, the burden of proof is on the claimant. It shouldn't be so hard to prove the existence of an unwritten general social rule, as long as it really exists, and is not just wishful thinking from your part. Also, I'll add that, while I've said before that I have no first-hand experience...

    D&D 5E (2014) What’s So Great About Medieval Europe?

    I strongly disagree that society has a general rule about that. I may be wrong, especially about the US, a place that I only know second-hand. For the part of society that I got to meet in person, though, this is not even an issue that is worthy of having social rules about, especially general...

    Now I'm curious. Where's this rule written? Who created it? Who approved it?
