    And Here It Is - Wil Wheaton's TABLETOP RPG Show Is TITANSGRAVE: THE ASHES OF VALKANA

    The way he pronounces "Ronin" bothers me. Looking around online he might be right but it is not how I have heard it or said it my entire life up until now.

    D&D 5E (2014) Video Game Worlds You Wish Were D&D 5E Settings

    I have not played the game yet, it was just released but the setting for Pillars of Eternity looks interesting. http://eternity.obsidian.net/game I loved the old PC game Arcanum: of steamworks and magick obscura, I have set a campaign it years ago using savage worlds system, but a D&D...

    D&D 5E (2014) Encumbrance rule, do you use it?

    Not normally no, I just let them get away with carrying anything within reason. To that end I almost always place a heward's handy haversack, bag of holding, or portable hole as treasure relatively early on in the campaign. If I had a Aarakocra in one of my games, I would use the rules if I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Identify

    "Most methods of identifying items, including the identify spell,fail to reveal such a curse, although lore might hint at it. A curse should be a surprise to the item's user when the curse's effects are revealed." - pg 139 DMG You could have them make an Intelligence(Arcana) check to identify...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sage Advice: Spellcasting

    Mechanical can be wonderful when the chips are down and you need to cast a spell. 99% of the time might as well go with the fun fluff of playing a musical instrument when you cast a spell. But the other 1% of the time when silence is needed or you don't have both hands free to use the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sage Advice: Spellcasting

    A bard needs a physical musical instrument as an arcane focus to ignore the non costly material components of spells. All they have to do is have it in hand just like any other caster with any other spellcasting focus. Singing isn't an instrument because it isn't a tool to be proficient in, to...

    The Second PRINCES OF THE APOCALYPSE Review

    That is not what JeffB is talking about, he is asking if there is any word on a supplement so that groups that only use the basic rules set can run the adventure. These supplements include any spells necessary that are not in the basic rules, as well as magic items and monsters. Examples Hoard...

    D&D 5E (2014) Would you change a monster's hit points mid-fight?

    I don't like modifying h.p mid fight, I put it in the same camp as fudging dice rolls and I don't do that either. That being said I alter h.p when encounter building all the time, most of my players are optimizers so I go with slightly higher h.p values for almost all my monsters going into the...

    Gen Con Takes Stand For Inclusiveness

    As a straight white male, who also happens to be conservative and texan I find the concept of a business being able to discriminate against an entire class of people barbaric and ridiculous. Businesses need to have licenses, government oversight for work safety, and fair wages, the government...

    D&D 5E (2014) Perception vs Investigation

    Agree the published adventures have not gotten this area right, hopefully it will be fixed in the future. Perfect, and succinct. This is a very good solution, the DC's should probably be the same in most situations anyway. The only other way to handle it would be to call out what each...

    D&D 5E (2014) Perception vs Investigation

    A perception check or passive perception might alert you to something being off or strange about a bookcase but it takes an investigation check to reason out how to open it. Same for investigating a chest for a false bottom. Perception: alerts you to the presence of things that might go...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron in 5th Ed - Ideas

    I think there would be magic of a military nature besides warforged, the world just got finished with a 100 year long war. But most of those military based magic items would have been on big issues like siege weapons, troop transport, maybe magical items that granted heroes feast benefits...

    D&D 5E (2014) Having another wizard in the group...does it suck?

    Exactly the first thing I ask when I join an ongoing game or at the start of a new one is, "What is everyone else playing?" I want to know the race - class - concept - gender - general build, of every other character first. If the campaign is knew and people are unsure that is fine obviously...
