    D&D 5E (2014) Urban Campaigns and Challenge Rating

    With urban campaigns, all of the above is good. As an example, from TV, the series 24 could be used as a template, where things all take place in the span of 1 day, revealing new leads but accumulating in a definite end for this particular event. Background info they come across however are...

    D&D 5E (2014) UA Revenant PC vs death by vampire bite

    If you want to have a PC make a save, I'd go with Wis, since it's the Revenant's driving will pushing him onwards. But honestly, I prefer the above thought that a Vampire trying to drink from what is essentially a walking corpse may find the situation unpleasant at the very least, and...

    Do You Want 400 New Magic Items For Your D&D 5E Game?

    All I can think of for Portable hole Paints are old Warner Bros Bugs Bunny cartoons where they'd paint a fake train or car tunnel for the protagonist to go through. Kinda like that idea for a magic item actually....

    D&D 5E (2014) Chris Perkins is polling settings on Twitter!

    Overall, that's a pretty good even split. Personally, DarkSun would be a close second to my choice of Eberron, then Dragonlance and Greyhawk. Alas for me, Eberron is currently third..

    D&D 5E (2014) Boy, that escalated quickly...

    While alerting and pulling in reinforcements, I'd do that maybe once, twice quickly, and have possibly one pull back to watch, and inform others to set further ambushes, or fortifications. With potential two man groups of scouts to track the PC's if they decide to go and take a short or long...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wednesday's Long-Lost Uncle Strahd

    Needs a catchy opening theme song.

    D&D 5E (2014) What can my character lie about?

    NPC's the lie could be anything. To PC's, you like them, and are constantly doing A Fisherman's Tale. (bragging, exagerrating) Did you see any goblins up ahead. Yes, a whole group of Twelve, viscious little guys, had to sneak around all stealthy like. In reality, 4 goblins, and they walked...

    D&D 5E (2014) Was I in the wrong?

    A little bit of both. Players need to pay more attention, and not just to what their characters are doing, but what other characters are doing. Perhaps a second hint of some kind could have been made by the GM to remind the players that the extra items were still with the armour set. While it...

    D&D 5E (2014) OotA - Arriving at Velkynvelve (Spoilers)

    I gave them some background on the fact they were working as caravan guards up on the surface. One night when it wasn't any of their turns for nightwatch the Drow attacked, using their sleep poison they are famous for, and killing/driving off the rest of the caravan.

    D&D 5E (2014) What would Frankenstein's Monster be as a PC?

    I'd probably take a few cues from the Warforged UA article to custom his race. Make him a fighter, and use Feats so that he gets the grappler related feat. Also, maybe Tavern Brawler.

    Hasbro CEO: "D&D is Really on a Tear"

    Shiroiken has the right of it. Pretty positive results. It's not a turn of phrase you see used very much in this day an age. Glad to see things doing well.

    What's the correct way to read a Percentage Dice? (d%)

    Personally i prefer the '00' + '0' = 100 or 0 depending on the system. Gives you 1 -100 or 0 - 99.. while I can see the logic behind '90' + '0' = 100 that proceeds to extra math I don't feel like taking the time for. For me the results read better for 100 by reading the normal d10 die first...

    Talk with Joseph Campbell on Hero's Journey

    Thanks to a twitter post I've stumbled upon this little nugget on Soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/park-howell/joseph-campbell-on-the-heros Several sources recommend Campbell's book on "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", one of which I believe I originally found here in the Media section. A...

    Sword Coast Legends Demo Livestream Today!

    I love the old Baldur's Gate games, and this looks cool. Hope they can properly pull off the DM and player asynchronous play. Would love to see a proper game like this or Baldur's Gate set in Eberron.. I don't count the MMO... [Edit] Cause I want a single player game set in Eberron, not that...

    D&D DICEMASTERS (Collectible Dice Building Game)

    I've been looking forward to this for awhile, I like Quarriors, and enjoy the Marvel version. Thankfully friends own both of those. But want to dive into the DND version.

    New News Page Layout

    I like it, but for some reason keep thinking that the Polls/Reviews/other info panels currently on the right should be on the left.. Just personal expectations I suppose compared to other sites I visit and preference.

    D&D 5E (2014) A NEW interview with Mike Mearls

    After getting FR, Eberron, and perhaps a few other staples, I'd love to see this Storyline, Adventure/Setting format revisit the Ghostwalk setting book put out during 3rd ed. And now I need to figure out a campaign idea where the party TPK's as part of the adventure, but wakes up as ghosts and...
