    D&D 5E (2014) Nonstandard Races You Love And Want Back

    Give me some decent rules for creating a Centaur PC that isn't overpowered and I'll burst with joy! I've alwats loved the idea of running a centaur character since I saw the picture of a human warrior riding on the back of a centaur warrior who was wielding a double-bladed sword as they charged...

    News Digest: International Tabletop Day, Fallout Comes to Miniature Gaming, Mensa Select Winners Ann

    Of course, I didn't mean to suggest otherwise, GURPS is simply the SJG game I am most familiar with. :) I don't know if their strategy is paying off, I'd love to pick up some GURPS books, but I'm loath to add another digital distribution channel to my list. I only recently stopped PC gaming...

    Older D&D Edition Specific Podcasts

    So, I listen to a lot of podcasts, such as Roll For Initiative for 1st Edition AD&D and Thaco's Hammer for 2nd Edition AD&D, but I don't think I have seen any podcasts that are currently being updated for 3rd/3.5 Edition D&D (not Pathfinder mind you) or 4th Edition D&D. I started with the very...

    Thanks for pointing me towards that thread, LordEntrails.

    News Digest: International Tabletop Day, Fallout Comes to Miniature Gaming, Mensa Select Winners Ann

    I'm not at all surprised by that bit of news. The GURPS is pretty nice, but their distribution strategy is rather antiquated, IMO.

    Understood! Thanks for the clarification, Rabulias, I wonder when that changed because Avatars used to be open to everyone not too long ago.

    Is the Hobby Holding You Back From Being Great?

    I don't really think gaming has held me back, and even if I could argue that it has it would probably only be replaced by something else.

    How crucial is to have a map?

    This is how I like to do things as well. It really helps keep the sense of exploration and discovery going for the players.

    As in a forum Avatar? Or am I completely looking in the wrong place?

    Why does fantasy dominate RPGs?

    I think a lot of it has to do with what TwoSix is saying here, Fantasy (to make it look even remotely good) needs a much larger budget than a smartly done Science Fiction show. I think Fantasy dominates RPGs because people want to completely leave our world when playing RPGs (a lot of times...

    I have been unable to upload or link to a profile image since the EN World went down the last time. It always says "unable to upload" regardless of what I do, and I am within the file size specifications. Anyone else experience this?

    My copy of OLD is here and it's gorgeous!

    I finally ordered my hardback of N.E.W. and now it's time to save up for O.L.D.!

    WotC's Irwin, Tanji, and Crawford on Tales from the Yawning Portal's Art Direction

    Really cool video! I love looking behind the scenes (behind the screen?) at how D&D products are made!

    D&D Beyond Beta: Your First Thoughts Thread!

    I really like this so far. I could definitely see myself using this on my iPad while I DM. A little easier to look up monsters and random spells on the fly. I mainly play on Fantasy Grounds, so the SRD isn't that useful for me, and I can't really say I like how they have that part organized.

    Official D&D Character Sheets Coming In June

    Trapper Keeper? I'm down for that! I'll also take two sets of D&D branded pencils, and a coffee mug so I can rock the brand at work!

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D product sales numbers on Amazon, etc.

    It has gone this way for me as well. I also understand that by not buying from my FLGS that I am contributing towards the problem (the store doesn't get much RPG interest so why stock RPG books?) but there just comes a point where I don't want to walk into that glorified card shop to most...

    Mass play, and perhaps a campaign??

    Something lime this would be pretty interesting if you were able to achieve critical mass in terms of players and DMs. I think the real crux would be getting everyone to agree on what system to use! :)

    How big is our hobby?

    I wonder how the growth of RPGs would look like when compared to the decline of miniature wargaming (especially of the Historical kind), and before anyone asks I am not talking about pre-paints like Stars Wars: X-Wing or Armada.

    Digitial Battlemapping on the Cheap

    That's pretty cool! I'd be tempted to do something like this, but I like my dry-erase pieces.
