    Adventure Writing (Rewriting Job, $1 per 100 words)

    I found someone for the work so this offer no longer is available. Hi guys, I'd like to publish two or three of my D&D 5e adventures but my writing skills are absolutely terrible. I'm looking for someone to help me rewrite these adventures in a more professional manner. The adventures are...

    Hobby Stores Margins

    Hi guys, I have a question for hobby store owners. What kind of margin do you expect to make on the sale of a printed RPG book? Does this margin depend on the volume you order? How many copies of a book do you typically order at a time? If you're wondering, I'm trying to figure out if it's...

    D&D 5E (2014) Grind-out fights, unconscious heroes, and retreat

    @OP: Your players are either brave or reckless and that's why they don't run away. Normally when one PC goes down, they're that much closer to a TPK and that should make your players nervous. Isn't that kind of the point of a hard fight? I was wondering about something. Do your players know...

    D&D 5E (2014) Custom Monster HPs

    So compare your custom monsters to existing ones like 2e is the proper method :). Thanks guys!

    D&D 5E (2014) Custom Monster HPs

    Hi guys, I was wondering, did anyone tinker with the custom monster rules in the DMG? I'm looking at the HPs and they seem much higher than in the monster manual. For example, using that table the ogre has a defensive CR of 1/4 and an offensive CR of 2. So using the rules, that would mean a CR...

    D&D 5E (2014) Limiting cantrips - advice needed

    That's because there rarely is a solution in RPG game design but solutions. Just try your ideas until you find one that works for you and your friends and ask if you need more. We're here to help.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons and the RPG Stigma

    I feel so sorry for your guys... I've never had any problems telling people that I love D&D. There was my grandpa but that's because I started when I was 10 and back then I insisted on having my brothers call me Master when playing :). I can't believe that D&D still has a bad reputation...

    D&D 5E (2014) Limiting cantrips - advice needed

    Neither do I! And I am so glad that 5th edition decided to go back to a more old school way of designing classes. I don't think most players want equal classes though. I think most of them want each class to be meaningful both in combat and in non-combat. It's very easy to contribute in...

    D&D 5E (2014) Limiting cantrips - advice needed

    It depends on how good the wizard is with his crossbow. If attacking with a crossbow or sling is roughly equivalent to casting a fire bolt, it becomes a fluff issue. You might prefer Narruto or Fairy Tail but you can't really blame the OP and his friends for prefering Merlin or Gandalf.

    D&D 5E (2014) Limiting cantrips - advice needed

    Not really, but whatever. D&D is a game about both combat and non-combat and when your limited resource can be used for both, they become intertwined. Unless you're playing 4e that has seperate combat and non-combat resource, it doesn't really make sense to look at one aspect of the game without...

    D&D 5E (2014) Limiting cantrips - advice needed

    The idea behind cantrips is to give spellcasters an interesting combat option that doesn't use their precious spell slot resources. Cantrips were introduced in 3e (reserve feats) and more formaly in 4e because many players didn't like shooting their crappy darts. You have to admit that shooting...

    D&D 5E (2014) How many people start at 20th level?

    We never start at level 20 and usually retire our characters around level 10.

    Confirm or Deny: D&D4e would be going strong had it not been titled D&D

    4e didn't fail. It just didn't work as well as the other editions of D&D because tactical boardgame and crap utility magic don't sell as well as dice porn and overpowered casters. Going for a different public was a gamble that just didn't pay off. I didn't like 4e because I found it boring. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D classic settings or new worlds to explore?

    I think they should stick to classic and try new worlds if they have the budget/stomach for it. Original ideas just don't pay the bills.

    Dragonlance Would you allow Kender outside of Dragonlance?

    I would let my player have his kender but I would make it clear to him that playing a Kender outside of Krynn would be about the same as playing a wookie or other alien race. He would probably be looked with a lot of suspicion or get kidnapped by a mad doctor to be dissected.

    Chris Perkins: Reintroducing Settings in Ways that Surprise People

    I don't really know what to think about all of this. Last time WoTC tried to do something original, it didn't work for me. I can't help being skeptical when these guys talk about their "new and better approach".

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    What's the expression again? All bark, no bite? Don't let that get to you. Just keep up the fight. You guys are winning one state at a time.

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    That's not how you come out. At least not from where I'm standing. You just seem bothered by same sex couples walking down the streets holding hands. That's not discrimination. It's not religious either by the way. It's just that you're not used to it. As a side note, you would probably be...

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    You seem like a very sensible person but I don't really understand your point here. And it's not really a matter of preventing society from becoming a hateful monsters. You guys did an amazing job at changing your way of thinking since the 1950s but you still have a few haters and hate crimes...

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    It's a bit more than physically harming or endangering someone. It's property, freedom of speech, habeas corpus, etc... Your founding fathers did a great job and wrote down your fundamental rights in a document called your constitution. Basically, nobody should be allowed to deny you of your...
