Do you remember all the status conditions of slumber? Sleep was puttin' 'em down like pretenders While chasing elf werewolves away Our spells were casting And duration of spells were long-lasting As we fought in the night Remember how our swords stole their lives away Hey hey hey Ba de ya, say...

My 2019 Resolutions are: 1) Introduce my Pathfinder diehards to a 5e campaign (which is starting this week) 2) Start the second half, and conclusion, of my 5e group's Forgotten Realms campaign I started 3 years ago (and never picked back up) 3) Put Pathfinder 2nd edition through its paces when...

Rules as Written, they should be able to be charmed; Elementals don't require sleep, but there's nothing that says they are immune to being charmed, nor are they undead; therefore, the magical sleep of the sleep spell would not be ignored. Also, same with Lycanthropes; unless they are undead...

More tables than a chamberful of Congressional motions at Christmas! More tables than a Handbook of Chemistry and Physics! More tables than a Microsoft Excel training class! More tables than a vbulletin database! MORE! MORE! MORE!

I prefer their newer flavors -- Manana, Fizzbitch, and Gun.

I would agree with Ovinomancer except for #1: an illusion would HAVE to block light in order for it to work at all. Not necessarily reflect it or create it, but block it absolutely, otherwise EVERY illusion would "appear faint" as the description for having made a successful Investigation check...

Chaos Sorcerer, for sure. I fortunately do play, but sometimes there are concepts that don't fit the campaign a DM has planned, and this is one of them. I want to explore it, but either the campaign's not right, or I am still a bit afraid of the lack of versatility with the class. But a Human...

Absolutely, because one thing that affects crowdfunding (for me, at least) is payday. My mad money is tied to my paydays, and if I have a little left over after the regular bills and savings, I'll decide whether that goes into, say, an extra minis pack, or a kickstarter or other thing. But if a...

I'm not sure, but your title has me suddenly thinking about a D&D Speak 'n Spell. "The Barbarian goes 'RAAAARH!'" "The Bard goes 'Tra-la-la!'" "The Wizard goes 'FWOOOOSH!BOOM!'" I can't say as I've had any problems with the 5e barbarian, but it sounds like you've never seen a version of the...

I ain't no senator's son. Papa was a rollin' stone. And I was the only Hell my momma ever raised.

If the alternative is the death of World of Darkness as an RPG (which is what it was looking like a month ago) it's still good news. Modiphius seems to be a pretty good company with gamers' interests at heart, so I hope they do well and more importantly don't cause any more public relations...

To add to this: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?656154-Spring-s-D-amp-D-Release-Will-Be-Ship-Themed&p=7545247&viewfull=1#post7545247 "Conservatively, there are 1.7-2 million new players in the last year" Considering that a survey from 18 years ago revealed that about 6 million...

By that definition, Diaglo would have been one of the few to qualify, as he called that stuff from 1978 “new-fangled”. I do miss him around here....

...and likely not even that; given their current timetable, they’re going to be done with their shipfaring before the ship based supplement even hits the market (they’re close to resolving that storyline probably within the next month or so). The players drive the campaign direction, not Matt...

Also, not to sound too repetitive, but in response to the suggestions that D&D doesn’t work with Pirate themed settings, it seems to be working quite well in a Critical Role campaign right now, involving piracy, sea adventures, ship crews, and sea monsters and ancient curses. Even Glass Cannon...

On the other hand, I’ve been re-listening to the end of that campaign now, and I have to ask: could Vecna have won? The way it played out, he had practically the entire world arrayed against him (Brass Dragons, a corps of Wyvern Riders, a freakin’ Anti-Paladin, several major NPCs) in addition to...

I read the rest of his statement at the link - I get a hint of sarcasm in the full 'apology.' As in, 'if you found this ONE, SINGULAR MOMENT..." I think I commented to someone at the time, "The old-schooler in me wants to say, 'suck it up, it happens,' but at the same time I can get how when...

I'd definitely call Khal Drogo one, but it's not just about protagonists - if you are in the situation where want to focus on story, your big villains should be robust enough to survive a casual stabbing or throat-slit, too. :)

The whole thrust of D&D5 is not explicitly spelling out every rule; the majority of its players don't even both with thinking about it that hard. If we're the type to frequent forums, tweets, and facebook posts for clarifications, (and trust me, I am too), chances are we're not among the other...

The best of the Hand-picked news, I'm sure!
