    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual - What pictures really stood out, or changed your view on a monster?

    I really enjoyed the Myconid picture. The artist did a great job giving them a monstrous appearance, but at the same time making them appear more gentle and less menacing than many things you would find in the Underdark.

    What's on your mind?

    I could see this being useful, if for instance I'm running or playing a game and all the sudden there is a very juicy topic that I can make a thread about; usually my posting is much more organic and is triggered by discussions in other threads, but I certainly see the idea behind this. You...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fun with the Monster Manual - Monster-a-Day in your Setting

    I might do this as well. I'm just starting to get serious about creating my own setting and this would be a perfect way to help it along.

    D&D 5E (2014) Supplemental books: Why the compulsion to buy and use, but complain about it?

    Sailor Moon I would feel like a jerk because the system mastery, plethora of options, and outright bloat of the system is what my friend very much enjoys. It doesn't bother me ever so much that I feel like I need to step on his enjoyment. Is it a solution? Most certainly not, but we hardly...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Much Would You Pay for Digital Access?

    I'd be willing to pay $30 for a book that is normally $60 in hardback form. I would have to see the need though, and certainly wouldn't pay for the access just for the off chance that I'd use it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Supplemental books: Why the compulsion to buy and use, but complain about it?

    That's currently how I feel about Pathfinder. It's one of my best friend's (who is, let's say, a mechanics nut) favorite system because he enjoys system mastery like 3E itself had. 5E feels like a breath of fresh air in that regard. Sure you can limit things (and I have) but it's hard to...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E Player's Handbook owners: What's the current condition of your book's binding?

    Mine is in near-perfect condition. However, it's mostly been sitting in my "Brian Briefcase" that I can quickly pick up and take with me when a spontaneous game is organized.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the 5e Monster Manual the best MM ever?

    Hehe, most certainly not. I would have only had the AD&D Black Box with the Red Dragon on the front for about year by that point.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the 5e Monster Manual the best MM ever?

    I know you're just teasing me, but you are referring to the most recent Hacklopedia of Beasts? I bought it purely for all the great ideas via the background given on the monsters, and the fact that it is written "in-universe" so to speak is a plus in my book. I really enjoy it and I hardly...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is the 5e Monster Manual the best MM ever?

    It's certainly a great book, but have you even seen the Hacklopedia for Hackmaster? That thing is a masterpiece of awesome with a can of whoop-ass on top.

    D&D 5E (2014) Inappropriate breasts on female monsters

    The only one that ever weirds me out is when the Sphinx is given breasts. Otherwise no.

    What's your preferred format?

    I voted for Harcover. However, I do NOT enjoy thick hardcover books that could be used as a viable weapon to kill someone (Pathfinder Core Rulebook I'm looking at you), I prefer slimmer hardcover volumes like what Mongoose Traveller and Castles & Crusades offer. If the book is hefty I'll...

    D&D 5E (2014) does D&D support 20 man or 40 man raids?

    Seeing as the Edition is still in its infancy, I doubt it. However, there is nothing stopping you from cranking up the difficulty level of the adventures that are already out to accommodate that amount of players, although you may need some co-DMs for that many people.

    D&D 5E (2014) [Speculation] 5E Product Release Format

    I think it will be setting/story specific in terms of how they do their releases. 5E Dragonlance could be fantastic if they freshened up the setting a little bit, but I'll settle for Eberron.

    Hehe, can't say I really blame you for trying. (*Psst* Put in a good word for me. *wink-wink* *nod-nod*)

    D&D 5E (2014) DungeonScape Beta Gloat Thread

    This is the web beta, the android beta will be rolled out after it (and I assume Apple somewhere down the line) but if you signed up for android you are still elgible to get an invite to the web one.

    Now where did I put my Shadowrun decker character sheet. *Runs off to search through piles of paper*

    D&D 5E (2014) DM Screen... what do you think we need?

    It's funny you mention that screen because I just got one, arrived today in fact, so I could more easily get what I want onto my screens. I'll give it some thought I post back, but off the top of my head I think some random encounter tables of some kind would be grand. It's a D&D 5E thread...
