    D&D 5E (2014) Dmsguild and known rpg companies

    I don't know if you guys noticed but in the DM's Guild documentation, they mention that the products could benefit from WoTC's marketing. That could really make it worth your while for larger companies.

    D&D 5E (2014) DM's Guild: The Advice You Didn't Ask For

    That's how you spell it in Spanish ;). They're still not that great when you work in three different languages on the same computer.

    D&D 5E (2014) DM's Guild: The Advice You Didn't Ask For

    Speaking of the DM's Guild remuneration. Can you use a personal paypal account or do you need to set up a business account to sell on the DM's Guild?

    D&D 5E (2014) DM's Guild: The Advice You Didn't Ask For

    I'm not sure cheap unfinished work qualifies as anything else than fan creations. They're made by amateurs. For me, they're like kids running their lemonade stand. You're welcome to disagree though. But I get your point. All modern word processors notice 95% of your tipos. The only ones they...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM's Guild: The Advice You Didn't Ask For

    Fans don't have a couple hundred dollars to spend on their fan creations. Give them a break. Some people have the ideas and others the technical skills (layouts, art, editing). Maybe we could all help each other? If you like what GM for power gamers did, I'm sure he'd be very happy to send you...

    Adventurers League Adventures Now Available To All

    Why not? It would have been nice :). Considering the previews are print-friendly pages, I wasn't expecting them to be illustrated though.

    What's the quality of the adventure league adventures? Are they beautiful illustrated adventures like the printed books?

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    It's not as difficult as whoever wrote your quote made it sound. InDesign isn't hard to use. The harder part is making sure your illustrations meet the 240% ink coverage. It's technical but you have plenty of guys from Bengladesh that will do it for very cheap on freelancer websites like Fiver...

    D&D 5E (2014) What kind of adventures might you buy?

    I would buy any of the four. Out of curiosity, why B&W art?

    D&D 5E (2014) Skeleton behavior

    D&D is an open-ended game with unlimited ways to solve each problem. That's what makes the game fun. A published module can't describe every possible outcome. They explain the overall context, the main elements of the story, the most likely way to solve the problems, and for everything else, the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enforcing theme/structure by saying NO to players

    They represent a change in the default D&D setting. You can't really expect everyone to be on board with it.

    D&D 5E (2014) Miniatures, or Theater of the Mind

    Both. Sort of. I like having some kind of visual representation for encounters with multiple foes. I find it really helps for AOE attacks and determining things like cover. If there's less than three opponents, we usually manage without it. I don't like playing with codified grid rules like in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enforcing theme/structure by saying NO to players

    Yes! This often means the player wants to play in a different campaign setting though. It might be worth asking your other players whether they would rather play in a different world.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    Your professor is correct. Historians don't all agree on what feudalism is. I was under the impression that most of them agree that the political institutions of Europe from the fall of the Carolingian Empire at the end of the 9th century to the 13th century was feudalism. You're also right to...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    It's just that bad. I'm not going to spend hours writing down a history book in the forums. If you're interested about learning why, go to the library! Also do a background check on the historian before reading his book. Many of them are politicaly baised or fiction writters. Your safest bet is...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    I’ve seen a documentary on prostitution in Thailand and I was surprised to see moms and dads encourage their daughters to become prostitutes because it’s good money. When Bougainville visited the Pacific Islands, he was surprised to find a society where men and women have multiple partners at...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    There aren't really any nation-wide laws in feudalism. A kingdom with nobles bound to each other by vassalage isn't feudalism if the nobles aren't the kings of their manor. You had royal decrees but they were fairly marginal compared to the canon law or local customary laws. A serf with a heavy...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    That's debatable. If you look at our furry companions, they're bisexual. Dogs, cats, or rabbits take turn to stick it in each other's arse. Would heterosexuality still be the standard in a world not influenced by religious moral?

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e's new gender policy - is it attracting new players?

    It's even in the introduction of the Rules Cyclopedia. I was thinking about Birthright too. In the Forgotten Realms, Cormyr is also supposed to have feudalism. Maybe I'm just a history nerd but there are many things that suggest D&D worlds have very little in common with medieval Europe. For...
