    [UPDATED] Glimpses of the DMG!

    Here's the Storyify link for the random dungeon: https://storify.com/dungeonbastard/trial-run-of-the-5e-dmg-instant-dungeon-generator Very, very cool. I'm not planning a 5e game anytime soon, but I'm very happy that 5e is turning out so solid.

    Extras for crits with weapons ?

    I've run into something similar in my own game when using inherent bonuses. Does anyone know what the level progression is for the crit bonuses? So at 1st I give them an extra 1d6 on a crit with a weapon or implement, at what level do you guy think I should move to a 2d6?

    What will happen to 4th edition?

    I think 4e will have a strong following and will rebound a little after 5e settles down. I think it has enough solid content out there to do most game tables for a long time yet. My current heroic tier campaign: - The Slaying Stone (just finished; fight with Krayd The Butcher was on the the...

    I discovered Pipelight after a little digging, but didn't have time to update the thread. Will install later and check it out. Good news. :D

    D&D 4E D&D 4e Character Creator in Linux using Netflix-Desktop

    Not sure if many people will be interested in this, but I thought I'd share anyway. There is a package called Netflix-Desktop for linux based systems looking to run silverlight media apps. Since the Character Creator runs on silverlight I thought I'd try it out. The package installs a windows...

    D&D 5E (2014) The implications of Basic 5E: An adventure-based approach?

    I hope they take a risk and produce some weird and wonderful one off settings too.

    D&D 5E (2014) How much 5e do you plan to get?

    Starter set first. Start a campaign. Once we hit level five buy the rest. I've just started a new 4e campaign so it might take me a while unless something really catches my fancy.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e launches with two adventures - designed by Kobold Press

    I think things could have gone better for 4e if they had released some quality adventures in the first year. And snap@the new campaign. I've decided to give 4e a final hurrah with an essentials only campaign set in Nentir Vale: Levels 1 : Slaying Stone 2-4 : Reavers 5 : Orcs...

    Rumor? D&D movie issues resolved and a TV series in the works?

    TV show with a dungeon delve of the week following the stories of a party of five to eight characters could be done well. They could encounter all the weirdism of DND and with some good characterisation it could be a fun show.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Lives

    I never really got Dragonlance. They somehow managed to make riding around on dragons not cool. Still I'm open to the idea. I'd certainly give it another look-see.

    D&D 5E (2014) A $20 Starter Set. Cool!

    There is nothing wrong with promoting our niche hobby to others. A physical product, for newbies, is obviously to be preferred.

    Legends & Lore: What Worked, What Didn't

    I'd prefer if they got rid of the weapons table, it's far too bloated. Replace it with one handed/two handed/two weapons, and maybe include damage types; slashing, bludgeoning and piercing. But that's just me and maybe have shields break but you take now damage from an attack as well as their...

    2 surges per rest

    I'm considering doing 1d4 surges per extended rest when in the wilds (dungeons/wilderness/unusual locations) or when under unsual pressure. This gives me some leeway when designing the adventures. I can decide when I want to up the threat level. My first adventure for the new campaign will be...

    D&D 4E Reply if you love 4e

    I've had my new 4e campaign green-lit. SW Saga is being put on hiatus and 4e is back baby!! Nearth Reborn: a Nentir Vale Sandbox-lite. Two published modules (Hs1 and Gardmore Abby)the rest mostly freeform about the different factions trying to take over/unify old Nearth.

    Unlabelled Nerath Map

    Maybe you are right, but I was so sure there was one with just terrain. I found this thread with someone else remembering something similar: http://community.wizards.com/forum/nentir-vale-and-beyond/threads/3888791

    Unlabelled Nerath Map

    Just wondering If anyone has the unlabeled Nerath map from the wizards site. I remember using it at one point. The only one I can find is this one with the labels: www.wizards.com/dnd/files/Nerath_Map_HighRes.jpg
