    D&D 5E (2014) Money System in D&DN?

    I wouldn't mind the Gold standard at 10sp to 1gp if the general assumption was that most the the rest of the world ran on silver, and coppers were for the truly destitute. But most merchants and nobles should deal in Bars of Copper/Silver/Gold for big purchases, and Promissory Notes, backed...

    Do Not Pass Go

    Just thought I'd leave a link to Kenzerco's Empty Chair for you here: http://www.kenzerco.com/Operiodicals/kodt/nemptychair.php

    Robot Combat League

    True, it's probably a trick of the camera angles. The robots aren't connected to the floor, but from the angles, it looks like they skate, or almost float above it. It would take a tremendously strong steel bar and counter-weight system to balance those robots above the floor the way I'm...

    Minecraft to craft dugeons??

    I believe there are some minecraft map editors where you can pre-build things and then import the map into minecraft creative mode for further modification. Here is the link to the minecraft wiki links to various third party tools, including editors...

    D&D 5E (2014) Humans and Demihumans as Monsters in DNDNext

    What I'd love to see either in the DMG or MM, are some of the guidelines used to create the Monsters, and additional guidelines for leveling and adding templates ( Class, Racial, Theme or Condition[lich for example]) Can we have a few examples the most commonly encountered Dwarves, Elves and...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternatives to feats giving +1 ability bonuses

    I wonder if you dropped both the +1 Feats, and regular Feats that are proposed, would that be the basis for a gritty dial of play? Personally, I'll be using Feats, and ignoring +1 ability Feat upgrades except perhaps through Magic boons of some kind. Although I'm also planning on capping...

    Tabletop Gaming News for Tuesday, 23 April, 2013 [St. George, Dragons, and Eliminating Weak Players;

    I still think one of the best movies featuring a Dragon is the '81 movie DragonSlayer. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082288/ Corny, filled with tropes, yet down to earth. ( I think the budget helped there ) Always felt that the Dragon was a real threat in that movie.

    D&D 5E (2014) New Playtest Session and Monster Testing

    If players are having a tough time with hit points, perhaps a look at starting at the adventurous tier (lvl 3) would be in order. As going forward levels 1 & 2 will be the journeyman/apprentice tier, if Wizards keep to their intended target. This should provide a little more survivability...

    Who's looking forward to Man of Steel?

    I'm looking forward to it. It will be interesting to see how it performs the reboot. I'm probably one of the few that enjoyed Superman Returns, even for all/through all of it's faults. I just wonder if DC/WB can get it's act together to start generating a proper DC shared movie universe...

    How many "random encounters" is too much?

    Doesn't it somewhat depend on the type of game. Story driven adventures probably have more planned encounters with fewer random events/encounters. Meanwhile the Sandbox/Hexcrawl type is quite possibly filled with them, depending on what the DM rolls, and how often he checks, 1/hour, 1/day etc...

    Robot Combat League

    Loved the behind the scenes look. Still, for the actual show, I can't get over the idea in my head of Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots. I know he mentioned that the robots can actually walk around the arena, but the few episodes I've seen it looks like they are directed via the connecting bar that also...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternative to Ability Score Increases

    I was just pondering that if, as Mearls has said, upcoming feats will be equivalent to +1 ability scores, that may be an option for me to replace the ability score increases at certain levels with additional feats. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. This would make my life as DM...

    Legends and Lore: Uber Feats eat Prestige classes and Paragon Paths or give +1 to ability

    While I agree that for both new and sometimes old players choosing feats can be an exhausting exercise. I personally don't believe that creating a +1 ability score feat resolves the underlying issue. To me the issue of feat bloat is too many fiddly feats that only dole out circumstantial or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Intoxicated Condition?

    Like someone above posted, I'm sure there are more uses for Intoxicated than just getting drunk on alcohol. Perhaps there will be a dedicated poison list and mechanics to handle that, but perhaps not, at least not at the simpler Basic or Standard options. Intoxicated could be applied to...

    D&D 5E (2014) ALTERNATIVE (ADVANCED MODULE?) HP/WOUNDS SYSTEM

    Just to quickly point out, The black text on the Legacy skin cannot be read easily... I'll try to read this later.

    D&D 5E (2014) NPCs With Class Levels?

    I don't mind that certain npc's/villains are built via PC rules, however most (simply for convenience and my sanity) should have similar methods of creation to 4th ed. With fully supported General Templates, Theme Template, and PC Class Templates.

    D&D 5E (2014) Humanoids, and playing monstrous races

    Both Drow culture and environment are quite hostile. I would believe that the only lvl 0 / lvl 1 drow that exist are the house slaves. Similar are the Gith(yanki and zeri [sp?]) societies that are very martial in nature I believe, and live in a hostile environment.

    D&D 5E (2014) Humanoids, and playing monstrous races

    If they keep with the concept of 3rd level being the start of one's adventuring career, this could help develop monsters as PC's, preferably in my preference a separate book. In a PC group that has monster PC's all non monster pc's are level 3, while monster pc's class start at level 1...

    TORMENT - Tides of Numenera

    They've also put up some additional add-ons.. like a collector's edition of the Wasteland 2 game they're also making for $250. If I wasn't tapped out for Kickstarters at the moment I'd bite.
