    MM3e Thoughts? Actual Play Experiences?

    How does MM3e play? Have you used it for "near supers" or "non-supers" games like sci-fi, fantasy or modern? How'd it work? Have you used the "lethal damage" rules in the GMG? How'd that turn out? Your thoughts, opinions, and experiences are much appreciated!

    D&D 5E (2014) Dungeons and Dragons and the RPG Stigma

    I'm totally out and proud. People will attempt to give me gruff about it but I just smile and say "there are nerds in every hobby" (trap set) and wait them to explain their hobby (and how that could not possible include nerds) and then I explain why they are a nerd (trap sprung). Tends to create...

    Converting True20 to 5e mechanics?

    Yeah. I think you should try to create "generic" or class-specific feats for things you feel are missing, and otherwise use the True20 class structure.

    Converting True20 to 5e mechanics?

    I would use the bounded accuracy bonuses, advantage, and the concept of proficiency and expertise. Expertise would be a feat. I would eliminate the "+2 to any two skills" and replace with Expertise. I like your idea of converting class abilities into feats. The hardest part is going to be...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mage Hand and the No Good, Low Down, Dirty Rotten Arcane Trickster

    Agreed. This doesn't require disadvantage to be balanced. First, encourage the characters to be awesome! Also, be a fan of the characters! Second, add challenge to the adventure that supports the characters awesome abilities! Disarming a trap at range is awesome, but is that really...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do I build a max dpr rogue?

    You're jumping right up to 20th level? :-) The classes work really well without multi-classing. The Rogue Assassin can be SUPER deadly. The basics of the Rogue make them all useful in combat. You get a bonus action to dash, disengage or hide each turn. You do sneak attack damage with advantage...

    D&D 5E (2014) MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools

    In acrobat pro, it only allows you to create a form field to import PDFs. You need an additional tool from Adobe to import different formats. It's a horrible shortcoming and personally I don't understand why (it's super aggravating). Instead you will need to use your favorite PDF software and...

    D&D 5E (2014) MPMB's D&D 5e Character Tools

    The spell sheets are amazing! I am so absolutely happy I found these sheets. They are so well done! You deserve an award from WOTC. Amazing stuff.

    Tell me your Tales of Calidar!

    Outstanding! After I read through it I plan on drafting up a conversion document. I would love to pick your brain on it. I am feverishly prepping for Norwescon, but once that's behind me I am going to dig into Calidar.

    Tell me your Tales of Calidar!

    Awesome! What system are you thinking of using? I'm planning on using DnD5e.

    D&D 5E (2014) Did The Finished 5th Edition Change Anyone's Mind?

    I was cold on the play test. Downloaded the packet a few times and wasn't impressed. Then I played in a basic set game and it really piqued my interest. Bought the PHB and had that same "this is very well done" feeling I had when I picked up 3e back in the day. Now having all 3 books, I feel...

    Tell me your Tales of Calidar!

    Bruce Heard's setting of airships and awesome. I've been poking around the blog, looking at maps, and falling in love. :-) I picked up the hardcover and maps (on the way). I'm curious if anyone is playing with this setting currently? What system are you using?

    BLUE ROSE Returns, Championing Diversity & Inclusiveness

    I imagine a world someday where we don't toss a group of people under the bus as having a "lack of romance and politics". Or what about "I find it sad to think that there are enough people in the world with a lack of conflict and adventure that we can support an RPG based on imagining them..."...

    BLUE ROSE Returns, Championing Diversity & Inclusiveness

    I like Blue Rose. I think it's a creative setting and I look forward to what they do with it and the AGE system (which know very little about). I would love to see some links and discussion of the AGE system, and how people who have played it feel it will support the themes in Blue Rose. For...

    BLUE ROSE Returns, Championing Diversity & Inclusiveness

    I was hoping for more discussion of the game. :-( Some people on both sides of these arguments are bad examples of understanding, tolerance and practicing liberty. Free speech means you get to say what you want. That can be hurtful, ignorant and divisive or encouraging, inspiring and helpful...

    BLUE ROSE Returns, Championing Diversity & Inclusiveness

    I liked the original game. True20 was refreshing take on the d20 mechanics. I'm not as familiar with AGE system, but I think I need to pick up some Dragon Age when the hardcover comes out. :-) Anyone played AGE? Thoughts?
