    D&D 5E (2014) Advantage / Disadvantage in 5e

    So, I did the rest of the math, taking an average of the percent increase in the chance to roll any given number on a d20 if you roll two dice and take the higher of the two. The avg is 16.625%. Since the chance of rolling any single number on a d20 is 5%, then the avg bonus for advantage is +3.325.

    http://www.avclub.com/article/mythbusters-adam-savage-painstakingly-recreated-sh-215826 Might need to be a tad bigger (hard to tell). I can see a Beholder chasing the PCs through the maze, with monsters around wrong turns.

    You're welcome. I didn't create it, but found it a while back, and it's been very helpful.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's PEACH have to do with Paladins?

    AFAIK (as far as I know), PEACH stands for Please Evaluate And Critique Honestly...but I could be wrong.

    D&D 5E (2014) Concentration: Addressing Player Concerns

    So far it's been fairly easy to avoid losing concentration. On paper it may seem like concentration spells might be unreliable, but in practice they haven't been.

    ICv2 Fall/Winter 2014 Hobby Game Rankings: D&D Up To #1

    True, but for this segment of the market, we're seeing a trend of D&D becoming popular again. At Amazon we're also seeing a trend of D&D becoming popular again. At Roll20 we're seeing a trend of D&D becoming popular again. Lots of different market segments, similar trends.

    Greg Tito Is UHURA!

    From what I can gather, he originally posted an article about a female game creator claiming she'd been harassed. He later said he didn't do his due diligence. What I can't discern, however, is if the original article was in fact incorrect. The side that is saying it was incorrect seems to have...

    AD&D 2E Yup, it's confirmed, 5E is the easiest version to run since 2E.

    Every 1e DM I knew (myself included) had the "to hit" chart from the DMG taped/stapled/glued to the inside of our DM screen. So, even if the players didn't have the info on their character sheet, it was pretty easy to look up as we went. BTW, totally irrelevant, but...my first DM screen was the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Semi-sandbox product I'd love to see

    And Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle is a sort-of prequel to Scourge of the Sword Coast, although they both start at level 1 or 2. You could have a DM run Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, then start a fresh campaign (new characters, possibly new DM) for Scourge of the Sword Coast. Here's part of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) XP per Session !!???

    I suppose it depends on what the DMG is considering a session. (My DMG is at home...so can't look it up.) If a session is 4 hours, then this doesn't seem so bad. 8 hours to go from level 3 to level 4 doesn't seem too fast to me. We tend to play 3-hour sessions, so that means 2.5 sessions to go...
