    D&D 5E (2014) Is "Mystic" a bad class name?

    I think it's as good a name as any for what it is. However, I'll always be thinking of Dragonlance when I hear the words "Mystic" in the context of class discussion.

    Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide: The First Official D&D 5E Setting

    I'm actually somewhat heartened by this. But at this risk of being a party pooper: November? We wait until November for the first non adventure product besides the core books and the GM Screen?

    Where are all the 5th Edition Events?

    I would have actually liked to do the All-Access pass, but by the time I found out it was even available it was gone. Very surprised that there is so little 5E, relatively speaking, as well.

    New WotC Layoffs?

    Oh D&D, your game is pretty good, but sometimes I don't know who you are anymore.

    Hasbro Sells Game Manufacturing Plants; Focuses On "Global Brand Experiences"

    Even though they are still in the publishing business that doesn't bode well that they are getting out of their vertical integration.

    Vin Diesel's D&D Birthday Cake

    That's really cool! I've always loved the way those books look. Like ancient tome full of lost and forgotten secrets. I might have to get someone to do this for me for Hackmaster!

    Sword Coast Legends: Campaign Creation Tools

    This is how I feel as well. I'm holding off until I can see it "in the flesh" when my friend plays it. I've been burned too many times by games that promise one thing and deliver another. No more.

    Judgment and Rudeness About D&D Alive and Well

    I have honestly never met anyone who looked at me sideways for carrying around an RPG book, but I do think that when I told my father in law that I was going to Gen Con where "there are board games and RPGs" that he thought I was going to LARP.

    Record Number of ENnies Voters

    EN World and the ENnies are great, but I doubt the two, even if matching, would be statistically relevant. I, for instance, am going to Gen Con for the first time, but couldn't fit the ENnies into my schedule as we're scheduled together as a group most of the time and I was out voted. That...

    Introducing A Table Full of New Players To D&D and RPGs

    You can never go wrong with a wayward wizard that has triggered some sort of artifact that starts summoning undead.

    Who runs a fantasy setting where PC/NPC are really scarce?

    I have always GM'd worlds where there are other people that have the same amount of power, or greater, than the PCs, but the main thing that separates them from the NPCs is that they tend to truly be heroes and all that implies. Most other people that have power use it for their own...

    Starting a new campaign

    That's completely fair. I take ages (hehe) to world build so I can, personally, wait for the book to come out at Gen Con.

    Starting a new campaign

    If you're willing to wait a little bit the AGE system might work for you Umbran.

    Do You Like The Cover of the New Conan RPG?

    I don't care for it. The yellow doesn't work for me if it needed to be kept. Perhaps a brownish purple or something. But overall I don't like the piece.

    Mike Mearls Talks (er, Tweets) About the Industry

    So WotC is becoming Games Workshop? GREEEAT! said no one ever.

    Mike Mearls Talks (er, Tweets) About the Industry

    I'm in the minority I feel like, but I just don't want the limited offerings that WotC is handing out. I don't want story campaigns. I don't want branded products. I don't care about the newest threat that must be faced in the Forgotten Realms. This is coming from someone who really likes...

    AMA [June 10] Margaret Weis, Author (TSR, Dragonlance, Margaret Weis Productions, Cortex, Firefly RPG, Star of the Guardians)

    Margaret, First, thank you for creating my favorite series of books and my favorite character: Sturm Brightblade. I would like to ask what the inspiration was for the Knights of Solomnia in terms of the fallen order kind of aspect in the Chronicles and also the inspiration for Lord Soth? Once...

    Roleplaying X-wing

    I agree with the principle of your point, but that's supposing that FFG couldn't make each game play distinctly within a core mechanic.

    TITANSGRAVE Launches!

    I liked it a lot. Science Fantasy still isn't my bag, but I'm liking it regardless.
