    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Cited in Hasbro Quarterly Report as Revenue Increase for Hasbro

    And that was only through Sept. The Basic Set had been out a little over 2 months, the PHB 1 month, and the DMG and MM had not yet been released.

    [Updated] Chris Sims & Jennifer Clarke Wilkes Let Go From WotC

    Not necessarily. Could mean any number of things.

    [Updated] Chris Sims & Jennifer Clarke Wilkes Let Go From WotC

    Judging by Chris Sims' Twitter feed, he was taken by surprise. In addition to his initial tweet about needing a job, he also posted this reply to someone who mentioned some available freelance work while he's looking: That definitely sounds like someone caught off guard, not a contract expiring.

    D&D 5E (2014) The RPG or the Brand?

    I think the best thing they can do if they make more movies is to *not* have "Dungeons and Dragons" in the name. Give the movie a name...and have D&D, WotC, etc. at the very end...not in the title.

    D&D 5E (2014) Updating classic A&D adventures for D&D 5e: a work under development

    I remember how divisive this module was back in the day (and since, I imagine), because it was a melding of genres. Our group loved it, though.

    Username Changes

    I was changing my city, state, and zip code in the Edit Profile screen yesterday, and for some reason Chrome auto-filled the Username field (and I didn't notice), changing it to "Chase Freedom MC". There's a link to "Revert to previous username", but it doesn't work. It gives the following...

    D&D 5E (2014) magic items prices

    They didn't "take the easy way out". They gave many of us what we wanted: a return to a more sane system where every corner doesn't have a magic shop, every character isn't outfitted to the hilt, and Monty Haul isn't ruling the campaign. Not everyone is happy with that. No problem. Some will...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideal Party Composition

    True, but starting at 2nd level, Bard gets Jack of All Trades, which adds half their proficiency bonus (rounded down) to all ability checks. Not as nice as never rolling less than 10, but still nice.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideal Party Composition

    And evidently when I updated my profile (adding zip code and such), Chrome decided to auto-complete "Chase Freedom MC" into my username field. Didn't notice, and now I'm not allowed to change it back. Worst. Username. Ever.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideal Party Composition

    I agree. And if you go valor bard at 3rd level, you get medium armor, shields, and martial weapons. At 6th level they get multi-attack, and at 10th level can add 5th level or lower spells from any class. So, you could add, say, Fireball...but even better, add Swift Quiver. For one minute you'll...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideal Party Composition

    I agree with what SirAntoine said...A bard has healing spells, any class can add the healer feat (when they get feats later, or if they choose variant human right off the bat), and other classes can become proficient in thieves tools, perception, etc. So, I think it was definitely a design...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideal Party Composition

    In out party, during session zero, we debated bard over rogue, but ended up going bard over wizard (4 PC party). Between the cleric and the bard we have plenty of spells (for now). So far we haven't missed the wizard.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ideal Party Composition

    I wondered the same thing before my first session as a player. I now believe it doesn't really matter. The classic ideas of an ideal party don't really apply anymore since each class can fill multiple roles. Our current party is a rogue, barbarian, cleric, and bard...and we've been kicking SS.

    How's D&D Working Out For You? First official feedback survey looks at CLASSES and FEATS!

    Maybe it has a built-in anti-Grognard filter? lol. (I kid, I kid...) Have you tried it a second time with the same result? Maybe use a different browser?

    Fat Dragon Games - E-Z Dungeons Basic Set: Review

    I've never used 3-D dungeon tiles of any type, but they certainly look great. Question for those that use them regularly: how do you handle fog of war? Do you build the whole thing first, then "hide" some of it with sheets or something? (Although even that would sort of give away the general...

    I was also asked about Bard. I think it depends on how you answer certain questions...it adapts.
