    HUGE Doctor Who news coming tonight! [Spoilers]

    And things pick back up... wow, what a roller coaster: http://io9.com/maybe-those-doctor-who-missing-episodes-rumors-are-true-514194463 Seems like a former BBC archivist, or at least someone who saved many previous Dr. Who tapes, has seen evidence at or around the BBC that confirms all the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle Excerpts: Adv 1 Fane of the Sun Swallower

    The Forgotten Realms "Sundering" event is going to be pushed hard with the development of DNDNext, as mentioned at last year's GenCon. With the start of Vault of the Dracolich game day event, and upcoming DND Encounters, I'm thinking the default campaign world for adventures may be Forgotten...

    HUGE Doctor Who news coming tonight! [Spoilers]

    Looks like BleedingCool has an update, and that it's looking like a complete hoax: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/06/17/more-on-those-missing-doctor-who-episodes-or-less/ Who knows, perhaps someone out there has stored copies stashed and forgotten, but it's looking like the source of this...

    D&D 5E (2014) Murder in Baldur's Gate Cover Revealed; "Ancient Evil" Identified

    I have to agree, I'm loving the cover art being done for DNDEncounters / DNDNext and similar products this summer. I think they are testing the waters with different layouts, but within a similar design space. Baldur's Gate is close, but not the same as the game day (june 15) or Gen Con print...

    Ancient Egyptian d20

    Just came across this article (on tabletop games) on Aintitcoolnews.com which mentions an Ancient d20 from Egypt, with Greek lettering on it. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/62848 which leads back to the original article on cnet here...

    Ending a quest with a last second steal from the players

    Have them deliver the artifact to their employer, who then plans to have it secured. PC's go off on their next adventure, or are waiting on it during downtime, when news gets back to them that their previous employer has been killed or his offices/workplace destroyed. Either this can bring the...

    D&D 5E (2014) New L&L When Adventurers Aren’t Adventuring

    Looking forward to seeing what Wizards can put together for DNDNext's Campaign Mechanics like this, and compare and integrate them with Paizo's Ultimate Campaign guidelines.

    Where they go over the safe resting options, regaining spell slots on rest, and balancing cantrips http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/blog/2013/06/06/dd_next_qa:_safe_rest_locations,_regaining_spell_slots_and_cantrip_balance As some I'd seen put forth the idea of being able to craft/create a...

    13th Age Goes to Press; Mongoose & Monte Tease Secrets; Ultimate Campaign downloads; plus ASK THE BA

    Let's keep an eye on both it (13th Age) and Numenara and see if they warrant independent news sections.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do all the rules need to be released at once?

    Personally, I'd prefer all three core books in the same month. Perhaps with a new or updated adventure. The fully compatible Basic Box set can hit either a month before, or the same month, you probably don't want to release it after the Standard Core is released. If they have an adventure...

    Goblins of Eberron

    Keep in mind that before you make modifiers to monsters to quicken combat, that they are all up to the MM3 Math, then apply the 1/2 hp / +10 damage. Most Heroic monsters will be alright, but Paragon and higher monsters need adjusting. For the most part I simply double the static damage of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Skill idea 3,142

    What if skill ranks supplanted ability modifiers in checks completely, and cap them at +5. Untrained perception would be raw ability score. For one character that's +2. Training via skill ranks into Perception means they could eventually get up to a +5. But they aren't cumulative, instead...

    Developing a Miniatures Library

    Beautiful work, I've bookmarked your website Agatheron. Since I'm at work I haven't had much chance to look around, but do you have you recorded any of your tutorials, or taken step by step photos of your techniques? Thanks.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Approximate Release Date?

    Since they mentioned at last year's GenCon that it'd be approximately a two year playtest cycle, I'd suspect (or perhaps hope) a release shortly before, or at GenCon 2014. minor edit on: "it's" to "that it'd"

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Core Assumptions vs. Setting Specific Assumptions

    I want the core rules to be the main mechanics, a general toolbox that most of the settings books will recognize as a general standard. The players handbook has the primary classes and races that translate into the settings with little to no difficulty. This doesn't mean some more esoteric...

    D&D 5E (2014) Pregen chars starting hps, and rogues d6?

    No matter the event/playtest I find that Pre-Gens from Wizards always have errors in them. Many times looking at the 4th ed Game Day events, the Pre-Gens for those always seemed to have a variety of little errors. For the most part it didn't detract for those situations, but it'd be nice if...
