"For some of us, this is the version of D&D we've been waiting for a long, long time." I completely concur.

I have bought maybe 7 or 8 in my entire life, all but one (I think) being D&D adventures. When young I almost always created my own settings/worlds, and wrote my own adventures or campaigns for that world. Store bought/pre-generated adventures rarely fit into my milieu. However I'm older now...

I may be. Only last night did I return to EN World and only yesterday did I hear about the new release dates and price schemes. I heard this mornign that Amazon may release the set at around $30.00 per book. I mail ordered my original D&D and AD&D materials, and so did most of my friends, and...

I will pay the price if the game is good. Then again I’m older and established and doing well so $150.00 is not a big deal to me. Or $300.00 as I’d buy a set for my daughter to take with her to college. The trouble I see with this price having mass appeal is this: I bought my first set of D&D...

Yeah SM, NPCs in Skyrim are not very useful. Or practical. Just this past weekend I got a pet wolf. I thought this would be great but whenever I dismounted my horse went staright at the wolf and eventually killed it. No way to make the horse and wolf get along for more than a very short time...

Hale And Well Met - I’m now thinking the boy will definitely be named Hale. Last night, in bed and right before going to sleep, I saw this scene in my mind of the boy and the cats exploring some old Roman ruins, maybe in Ostia, when the boy falls into a partially collapsed cistern underneath the...

Haven't really decided that yet. It may float.

You know it! This also has extremely important applications regarding how to abandon a damaged, derelict, or malfunctioning spacecraft in orbit and survive freefall to a planet for safety. The man deserves a lot of credit. He, and his team, have advanced technical science considerably.

I’ve only had three cats in my life. One when I was a teenager, named Eric (the Red). And now Alex (the White), a white and gold Maine Coon, and his mother, also a Maine Coon (or as I like to call em, Carolina Coons.) The two males, Alex and Eric always acted (act) more like dogs than cats...

THAT WAS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!! I recorded it. Felt just like I did watching the moon shots and the first Space Shuttle flights. The most amazing thing to me was that he broke Mach coming in and yet tiptoed to the gorund on landing. 24 miles up, straight in hard fall, yet he just floated in...

Tomorrow I’ll be introducing several new elements to the game. They will meet the Knight in search of the Mace of Cuthbert. Who may temporarily join, or at least shadow the party. They will hear rumors of the Grael being at the Tower (now partially buried beneath the sand and the sea cliffs...

Superb memory. Yeah, I think that was the race rebelling against the Slavers.

I'll be danged. I actually found a link to this episode (ain't the internet grand?) and it wasn't Kirk, but Spock, Sulu, and Uhura. I remember that now because of the fight scenes and the Kzin didn't like Spock being a leaf-eater and yet as strong as they were. Seems like he broke on of their...

A long, long time ago (as a kid) I saw a Star Trek cartoon that involved Kirk and Spock seeking to recover a Slaver Weapon from a stasis box while the Kzin were also trying to get the weapon. It was a sort of covert mission by the Federation to prevent the Kzin from obtaining a powerful weapon...

I still play. On the PS3. I’m level 43. But I’ve only ever completed ten or so of the side-missions and only two or three of the main missions/Quests. I’m the Archmage of Winterhold and a Bard (not that this seems to be of any real import) and various other things. I have huge piles of...

I’ve always believed that exactly how you use a tool, and to what ends, will determine both exactly how useful the tool is, and how good you will become at what it is you are really doing. But only you can decide what you are really doing, and how, and why. When a tool becomes merely a thing in...

I too like the attunement idea, and I’ve done stuff like this in previous games and campaigns going all the way back to AD&D. But like many of you I don’t care for this particular attunement process. However, like many of you I’m just using the idea as a general design concept and changing it...

By the way, here is my other Campaign (Byzantine/North African/Middle Eastern one), and the Other World. Worlds Apart

I’ve been examining the Magic Items from the October Playtest Packet which I downloaded today. I like the way that 5E is handling most magical items. They are differentiated between each other well enough that each seems unique, and they give you basic background information of each, but so...

Thanks for all of the comments folks. I’ve enjoyed reading them. Didn’t get to play this weekend because my kids got a chance to go on a trip that I thought they’d really enjoy. So we’re picking it up again next weekend. However, in the meantime I drew up a Behavioral Alignment Chart, a...
