    D&D 5E (2014) Update: Amazon, PHB for $22.50~ (or MM $25.40~, DMG $25.40~), and $10 off when preordering the DMG, MM and something else together

    Hmm. Wouldn't that make it so your order wouldn't ship until the latest of the 3 books was ready?

    D&D 5E (2014) Review of New Players Handbook Posted at Acts of Geek...

    Yeah, after getting a paragraph or two into Part 2 I realized this reviewer not only had strong bias going in, but also had no clue about what he was talking about. So I stopped reading then, and decided that Acts of Geek has become a site I will avoid. I prefer non-biased and open minded...

    Canadians: 53% off D&D products at Chapters.ca (August 4th only)!

    Thanks for the update. Just saved another $15! Wish they had the pre order price guarantee like amazon. Speaking of amazon.ca, they have price matched all the books (at this sale price) except the PHB.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Website Redesign (And a Tyranny of Dragons Teaser Video)

    Wow. The new site and the art is blowing me away! Can't wait to show my players these amazing monster pics when they come across these baddies. So inspired to play!

    How would you create War Fans?

    I would say short swords are too stabby. :) Make them Light, Finesse 1d6 slashing weapons. Scimitar. Done.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Spellbook Cards Preview

    These actually look pretty nifty. Beats the heck out of putting stuff together with MS Publisher from pdfs. BTW Beautiful artwork Klaus! Now if the price is right... :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Using Inspiration to Perform Stunts!

    Seems like a well thought out and balanced idea. I might use that.

    D&D 5E (2014) 23 players, 12 hours - The Lost Mine of Phandelver

    Actually, only the single Wand provided in the Starter Set is usable regardless if you can cast spells or not. The Staves say otherwise. The latest play test packet includes Wands in the "must be able to cast the spell" prerequisite of such items, so I suspect that maybe it is a typo, or a...

    We live in exciting times!

    D&D 5E (2014) Retrying Skill Checks (or the Little PC That Could)

    Along the lines of what I was thinking, but better. Yoink!

    D&D 5E (2014) PH(B) Hermit Background

    Love it, more Backgrounds! Interesting to note (if it hasn't already) is that the previews are missing the Flaws and Bonds tables. This means each background might occupy more than 1 page. Or they have cut out Flaws and Bonds from Backgrounds and the Basic pdf will need to be edited. (Edit...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monster Manual and Races

    Interesting discussion regarding why they should or shouldn't include Aasimar as a playable race. Unfortunately for those angry? about not having their favorite race included, I feel that it is simply a matter of popularity. Wizards has a lot of data and I think the Aasimar proponents, no...

    D&D 5E (2014) Baldur's Gate Comic from IDW Announcement.

    Yeah, I believe they did the EXCELLENT 4e comics.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Starter: Lost Mine of Phandelver Part 2 (Wotc twitch)

    This group is starting to hit it's stride IMO. The women are great roleplayers (which has been my experience in my games) and I enjoyed this session much more than the first. It's nice for me to see a game in action, as I haven't DM'ed a game for a few years now, and see how the ruleset plays...

    D&D 5E (2014) Canadians: Preordering 5E from Chapters.ca?

    I also changed my order from Amazon.ca to Indigo. Reasons being 1) People getting their Starter Sets early and 2) I NOW remember the same thing happening with my 4e core book purchases. I consider it even odds to get them early. Oh yeah, I have also gotten parts of orders shipped separately...

    D&D 5E (2014) Concentration Query

    Yeah, I'd say that makes sense to me. And mechanically, I don't think it would come up often enough, in a beneficial way, to be an unaccounted for class boost.

    D&D 5E (2014) It's Dwarfy McDwarferson from the Player's Handbook!

    Yeah, I think Mearls even said the Basic stuff was (and will be) lifted verbatim from the PHB (MM, DMG).

    D&D 5E (2014) Observations on the Monsters in the Starter Set.

    There a few instances: Those "monsters" that are PC races with character classes. Oddly enough, Zombies have a Saving Throw bonus of Wisdom +0 (their actual Wis gives a -2 penalty) And... the Dragon Edit: Ninja'ed!!!!
