    D&D 5E (2014) Curse Of Strahd - Kasimir Velikov and Patrina

    Thank you defcon. Truth is that more than stats (you are right suggesting stats from MM and are not so bad) I badly need ideas about what happens when Petrina come back to life. Maybe some suggestion from whom have already run the adventure... I see that Petrina is manipulating Kasimir to come...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse Of Strahd - Kasimir Velikov and Patrina

    Unfortunately not. The book says only that Kasimir is a MAGE and Patrina raised will be ARCHMAGE, but I need something more defined and looking for suggestions. Anyway your stats are good! Thanks

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse Of Strahd - Kasimir Velikov and Patrina

    Hi guys. So, my heroes are approaching Amber Temple with the aid of Kasimir joining their forces to reach their goals: for the PC is to find the Holy Symbol and to Kasimir to raise from death his sister Patrina. Now I'd like to ask you: 1) Somebody has developed the stats for Kasimir to use him...

    D&D General The D&D Series Has Arrived

    If the author of The Witcher says that he never play D&D, it is not allowed to say that Witcher is influenced by D&D. If there are some similarities it depends on the fact that D&D collect tropes from fantasy that collect tropes from Classic and Medieval Age European culture. Fantasy and D&D can...

    Critical Role The New D&D Book Is 'The Explorer's Guide to [Critical Role's] Wildemount!' By Matt Mercer

    In this case what is the equivalent for the new generation of players? Can we have a look in this supposed teenage hut on the tree to listen to what they are saying about the whole story? I'm 44 years old and really curious about.

    Critical Role The New D&D Book Is 'The Explorer's Guide to [Critical Role's] Wildemount!' By Matt Mercer

    Maybe this is true, but in this case I wonder why those people are not represented in this forum... I mean: why so many complains about this new book if "the majority of the fun base is enthusiast about it"? The only logic answer I find is that that majority doesn't stay in this forum. And this...

    Critical Role The New D&D Book Is 'The Explorer's Guide to [Critical Role's] Wildemount!' By Matt Mercer

    There will be a time in which "long terms players" will remember the old good stuff of Critical Role era complaining about new campaign setting released by the evil Wizard of The Coast...

    Critical Role The New D&D Book Is 'The Explorer's Guide to [Critical Role's] Wildemount!' By Matt Mercer

    Introducing Boardgames into the discussion is perfectly relevant if you are talking about people that start from scratch and are trying to decide which is the game they want to play. From their perspective DnD or Cluedo could be the same: a social game around a table. Chaosmancer argument was...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance? (Magic items)

    The initial Dragonlance was so powerful maybe because it has to simulate the single charge of a single knight against a Dragon in a one to one combat resembling the heroic situation of a tournament. It is an aesthetic choice functional to the narrative aspects of the novels. If you downsize the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms 5th Edition - Which Campaign Setting?

    Unfortunately, nobody knows... The last canon on FR is Sundering, but the AP you mention are not located in the same place described by Sundering product. Now FR is quite suspended in a strange limbo. Nobody knows all the consequences (smonceguences) of the Sundering. The only thing well known...

    WotC's Nathan Stewart: "Story, Story, Story"; and IS D&D a Tabletop Game?

    There is something odd in your position. First you lament a lack of old dnd campaign setting Support, then you announce you move to pathfinder. I believe that would be far more rational if you use 5th edition rules with old campaign material...

    D&D 5E (2014) Did The Finished 5th Edition Change Anyone's Mind?

    OSR phenomenon is strictly connected with the success of 5th edition. I strongly believe that OSR phenomenon originates from the need of detailed campaign settings. 5th is succeding in giving players the flavour of old dnd rules, but the AP only way that is following core publications risks to...

    D&D 5E (2014) AP vs CS: change in philosophy or marketing strategy?

    Hello everybody. What I want to enlight with this new thread is a precise element of change in D&D's business model. It seem quite clear that publication priority has been given to AP then CS. I'd like to have some question answered: 1. I have a black hole on 4ed period because of my work...
