    What are you working on? (Playing, GMing, desigining, etc)

    DMing: Heirs of Turucambi A brief summary: The party acquired the third Tome of Apotheosis and a draught of Aqua Mortis, both required to restore life to the spirit hag Xaetra, who resided in an eidolon golem made of ambergris. In so doing, they hoped to weaken or destroy the blackwater hag...

    D&D 4E WotC this is something you absolutely cannot screw up in 5E like you screwed up in 4E

    Okay, okay... you can have your dinos if I have have all of the hags and sea beasties that were in the 3.5e MM. And we'll throw in the minimals, so no one notices...

    It's not just your father's D&D

    Should I mention that my dream car is a 1947 Studebaker M5 pickup? ;) All kidding aside, I agree. As I have mentioned before, I want 5e to equally befuddle 3e and 4e players alike. There can be no edition wars, if the new edition is something new. I want complexity dials, I want integrated...

    People have the strangest deal-breakers

    This. Granted, what feels like D&D differs from person to person, so it's a tad difficult to narrow down. To me, 2e and 4e did not feel like D&D, so I skipped them for the most part. I have high hopes for 5e.

    D&D 4E WotC this is something you absolutely cannot screw up in 5E like you screwed up in 4E

    Why not just take them out of the game entirely? Problem solved. Sure, you can include their stats in a "lost world" adventure, but do they really belong in the core rules? Maybe I am among the minority, but in 30 years of playing D&D, I have never used dinosaurs - with the exception of the...

    Hobbits are Back!

    My first 3e PC was Nok, a portly half-orc bard with skills as a chef and taxidermist. He wore a bloodied leather apron and attacked with meat cleavers. Until she was beheaded and reanimated as a tsantsa, one NPC in my current game was a rather stocky shellycoat (greenhag) inspired by Aughra...

    D&D 5E (2014) What happens if 5E fails to unite the base?

    Would this be a good time to mention that I have Blue Oysters in my undersea game? ;) That sums it up nicely. Since 1995, I have been running online games; both play-by-post and chat-based. My first online game used the 1e ruleset, in a day when 2e ruled the roost. My next PbP switched from...

    D&D 5E (2014) What happens if 5E fails to unite the base?

    "Lost Girl" on SyFy. Anybody seen this show about a succubus?

    And to your left, ladies and gentlemen, the majestic Succubus Peaks.

    Did you get the welcome email after signing up for playtesting?

    That was my experience as well.

    "Lost Girl" on SyFy. Anybody seen this show about a succubus?

    Okay, so I watched a bit of the second episode. I think I'll pass on this one. It seems to be as two-dimensional as "Grimm" and as hokey as "Special Unit 2". Fortunately, Syfy's second season of "Being Human" seems to be off to a good start.

    Let's Forget the Forgotten Realms

    C'mon... a show of hands, now... how many folks have worked Chronomancy, regeneration, and/or police boxes into the D&D games? Okay, okay... so the Chronomancer is the mechanatrix daughter of a night hag, the regenerating character is an incarnum-based reef hag, and the TARDIS is a...

    Let's Forget the Forgotten Realms

    Which means 5e and Greyhawk belong to the leap-grognards who skipped happily from 1e to 3e and did not adopt the 4e ruleset? I'm in! ;)

    Are you a voice actor? Or thought about being one?

    No need for someone fluent in mock ixitxachitl, mock kuo-toan, and mock locathah? ;)
