    D&D 5E (2014) A 5e OGL isn't going to cause another Pathfinder scenario and here's why

    The reason is there is not one set up to take advantage of 4e. At the time Paizo was a popular company that had a large fan base of 3e fans. There is no one in the 4e 3pp remotely close to what Paizo was. So even if everything was ripe for it there is no one out there that could take advantage...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can my table focus on making things fun instead of optimizing?

    I think one way to do it is to call optimizing what it is, being a munchkin. That's what it was called in the 80's and 90's and it was meant to be an insult. One way to discourage it is to have a few sessions with no combat and that do not reward the min maxing (another name we used to have for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate ability generation rule

    I do like the drafting method. Instead of having the players roll I like to pick the numbers and put them on a large poster board and then we cross them off when picked. One time I made the numbers attribute specific and not all the numbers were for each attribute. For instance I think I had a...

    No, I'm done with this back and forth that is not going anywhere.

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate ability generation rule

    Strategy, quest to improve the wisdom, be creative.... Different answers depend on the table and the players there. I will say that I've never seen a player complain because of having low attributes or failing a save for a save or suck or even save of die. That's funny. If you search the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Published Adventures: Yea or Nay?

    In addition to being able to borrow from adventures I like the shared experience. I've had fun talking about adventures with other gamers and what has worked and what didn't.

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate ability generation rule

    If the player choose to have a character with a 4 wisdom and is not mad about it then there is no problem. If the player is frustrated by the 4 wisdom and failing saves then we talk about what the player wants to do out of game. There are a lot of options and scrapping the campaign setting is...

    D&D 5E (2014) Treasure?

    It can be fun to do this. My group bought an Inn. They have more money invested in that then their equipment. NPCs they adventure with when they retire work at the Inn. It has become a focus of the campaign in a way that I was not expecting.

    D&D 5E (2014) Alternate ability generation rule

    There is a lot of baggage in your reply. The way we deal with it is make sure the game is fun for everyone. Stats are over rated in my games. The story revolves around the PC no matter what their stats are. If the PCs are a bit weaker due to anything mechanical then the encounters we run are...

    D&D 5E (2014) S O L O games...,

    For Solo games in D&D I tend to allow the player to have a more powerful character then normal. If you want to roll stats then roll them but allow her a few extra points to place where she wants. Then depending on what she creates make the campaign that fits the character.

    Agents of Shield has been great this season. Agent Carter will be lucky if that good.

    I like it. Some characters will be better then others but that's a simple problem to deal with.

    It's the Marvel Phase 3 Slate!

    I guess they are going to introduce a lot more character fast or else Civil War is not going to be that exciting with the relatively few super power persons we have seen.

    I enjoyed the book. I doubt I'll see it on Halloween but I do want to see the movie.
