    D&D 5E (2014) Using Phandelver in non-FR world

    Super easy to swap out, IMO.

    Rogues - Advantage - Sneak Attack damage

    The rogue in our party is now loving my bard...I've used Faerie Fire a couple times to great advantage (pun intended). Any creature in range that fails their dex saving throw will glow, and any attack against affected creatures has advantage until the spell runs out (1 minute, or if...

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    Well, whatever they had for iOS, evidently the Pathfinder fans didn't think it was all that, either. Their Kickstarter to convert it to Pathfinder rules only met 17% of their funding goal.

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    Ok...I guess I stand corrected. Couldn't find it anywhere, though...Perhaps they scrubbed the posts.

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    Source? If it was ready to go, switching the rules to Pathfinder should have been quick and easy, yet they started two different crowdfunding campaigns to finish working on it/converting it to Pathfinder rules, and both failed. Here was there original announcement about the cancellation of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Light release schedule: More harm than good?

    I'm so pissed at Black & Decker right now! I bought a set of tools...and they're fine tools, don't get me wrong. Sturdy, well built, versatile. But since I bought them, I've received NOTHING from B&D! Not a thing! Where's my coffee table? My back fence isn't going to fix itself! I'm *this*...

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    Funny how the creator of the very iOS app we're discussing in this thread seems to have a different take than the "facts" people not involved in the process were discussing. He's hopeful about getting his app re-released, which flies right in the face of the supposed "no guidance" claims of...

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM Starting 5e. . . go with adapted RotRL or HotDQ?

    If you go with Phandelver, you can absolutely roll right into HotDQ after...Where exactly you jump in will be up to you. If you start at the beginning, you may want to adjust the first encounters a bit because the characters will be higher level, and part 1 is designed to scare the crap out of...

    D&D 5E (2014) New DM Starting 5e. . . go with adapted RotRL or HotDQ?

    Not familiar with RotRL, so can't comment. But, I don't think HotDQ is the best place to start if you're just jumping back in after 30 years. We're going through it right now, and I know our DM has had to do a lot of work to fill in gaps and other tweaks. It's been fun, and I recommend the...

    Third Party Character Creation iOS App Removed

    Also, it sounds like the developer is hopeful. He posted on FB that this won't affect any current users of the app (meaning, he wasn't asked to push an update removing existing functionality/info), just that he can't offer the app "for the time being". That, to me, sounds like he believes he'll...

    I don't think Fight Club has/had any info from the PHB - it was only from the Basic rules. When I created my Bard, I had to enter most things manually relating to the Bard class, since Fight Club only had class info for the classes in the Basic rules. The only spells it had were Wizard and...

    Long running companies understand their core competencies and actively ignore the noise from everywhere else. Remember when the blogosphere, tech pundits, and message boards were all saying Apple MUST release a netbook, because everyone else was, or they were DOOMED! They ignored the noise...

    D&D 5E (2014) What is Over-Powered?

    I like the hard as it stands. It's been a lot of fun to play, so far.

    D&D 5E (2014) How hard is it to rebase a miniature?

    Those bases Mark CMG linked to, the ones with the slits, work well. You can get some small bar-shaped rare earth magnets to fit perfectly inside the slit in the bottom. Then just line a container with metal (not aluminum) sheets from Home Depot (you'll find them in the roofing section), and you...

    New Cooperative D&D Video Game Allows a DM To Run The Adventure

    Sadly, from the FAQ, looks like this will be the "PC" (Windows) version of Steam only. If they're going to use Steam, why be restrictive? Many developers are making cross-platform games on Steam. That's one of the great things about Steam. A single license can be used on either Windows or Mac...

    New Cooperative D&D Video Game Allows a DM To Run The Adventure

    Did you see the graphic on the official website for the game?: https://swordcoast.com/ There's a mock-box titled "Lost Mines Dungeon Tile Set". I really hope that means the possibility of running LMoP in this game system. That would be sweet.
