Odd. Today (5/18) ay 1:22PM, I received the e-mail about the event on 5/16 at 8:00AM Eastern... whoops.

Oddly enough, a mantis shrimp played a role in my Sunday game. Searching for a place to rest for the night, the party stumbled upon the shell of a massive giant clam, buried just beneath the sand. Within the cave formed by the shell, they happened upon a band of shrimpies (humanoid tiger...

I don't know 4e from Adam's house cat but wands as more of an extension of the wizard, rather than a scroll-on-a-stick, sounds more wizardy to me. For that matter, I like spell components, spell books, and alchemical wonders galore. Bring on the bezoars, infusions, and mummified entrails!

I got in on the Cerulean Seas kickstarter. Other than that it was a few Pathfinder PDFs a couple of years back.

Aquatic races could always take what they wanted from Drylanders. Or, you could go with pearltech. Nacre is surprisingly strong. In the same manner that this fish became a natural blister pearl, items can be inserted into oysters, clams, and the like to become coated with nacre:

Hydrothermal vents have meen mentioned. I went that route with my water dwarves, a red-skinned chemosynthetic race that uses the black smokers to forge calciferous arms and armor. A similarly alien environment can be found with "cold seeps" or brine pools. You could also go with psionics and...

and now I have to buy the DVD... per the trivia page at imdb: "There will be about 30 minutes of the excised footage included in the DVD Release, most of which revolves around Steve Rogers (Captain America). Whedon revealed that one of these scenes involved Rogers struggling to adjust to the...

I'm out, then. I have not run a face-to-face game of D&D since 1994. I have not been a player in a face-to-face game since the late 80s.

Clarification: First they release the World Builder's Guide, and THEN they have a Setting Search, for campaign settings created using the parameters within the WBG.

I do not want WotC to release a new setting for 5e. I want WotC to release a World Builder's Guide, alongside the DMG, PH, and MM. Provide DM's with a common framework in which to place their custom worlds. Devise the means by which custom races, classes, magics, and more might easily integrate...

I'll be there. Same batfish time. Same batfish channel. ;)

Agreed. If 5e does not easily allow the use of intelligent races found in the Monster Manuals for PCs and NPCS alike then it would have far less appeal to me. Savage Species is still one of my favorite supplements, in this regard.

I have always liked this bit of lore, regarding the Blue Grotto: "It is believed that, in the Roman period, under the rule of Tiberius, the interior of the Grotta Azzurra was used as a marine nymphaeum. There have been those who imagined the cave as the habitat of Nereidi or of Sirens or...

Inspired by "Ecology of the Greenhag" (Nigel Findley, Dragon #125) I took it a bit further. Night hags have daughters by human, elven, or outsider fathers, producing such offspring as greenhags, succubi, erinyes, and more. When a night hag mates with another night hag by means of shape-changing...

Offline gaming? They still allow that? ;) To be fair, my last face to face game was in 1994. I've been running chat-based and play-by-post games since 1995. IRL I am married and have 7 kids, a job, and a hobby farm to tend to. Online gaming seems to be my most available outlet, these days. My...
