    D&D 5E (2014) T1: The Village of Hommlet (OOC)

    This should be even better... So much fun to be had with that setting!

    New dungeon mapping style.

    I like what I see so far!

    D&D 5E (2014) Which non-Realmsian setting for you?

    I've always been fond of Eberron. Never got deep enough into Greyhawk to really see the depth of it, and I've not played most of the others. Plus, I was introduced to DnD through the video game Baldur's Gate, so the Forgotten Realms have always held a special place in my heart whereas I didn't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Player wealth

    Getting them to improve it is entirely in the presentation.

    D&D 5E (2014) Player wealth

    The DMG itself hints that parcels of land should be mostly unimproved, and they do come with titles. Basically, the character gets the land and it's the responsibility of the character to maintain and improve it. I don't know about you, but for me, that would be a perfect way to deal with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Edition Wars, WHY?

    It's quite elementary, my dear Rune; Holmes was the better edition. It's evident by how well deductive reasoning works with that one. Dracula's edition was all about darkness, gloom, and blood. Just not my cup of tea. Plus, it tended to fall apart when sunlight hit it. Made it rather hard to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Ammunition

    But... but... I have this idea for a custom version of the +1 enchantment where the bow transmutes arrows to roses! And the tip of the arrow is the tip of the rose stem!

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the Roles now?

    I'm not scared for once. But... that's only because I've accepted that if it doesn't turn out the way I want, I have other games I can play. Anymore, I'm just not as invested in DnD as I once was. I have alternatives that can do the same thing, and I've heard there are alternatives for 4E coming...

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Ammunition

    I'm going to be honest and say I think magical ammo is intended to be a resource you expend when you absolutely must have the extra oomph. Which, from looking at 5E, is going to be pretty rare; most of the time, a magical bow and normal arrows will probably do the job. So, I would say to think...

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    I'm thinking it'll be like a Pathfinder adventure path; the crunch in the free book will just be what you need to make starter characters, with additional stuff coming in the actual releases.

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    Or they were trying to identify the person behind the leaks and gave everyone different bits of false information to see what got leaked.

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    Can't say I was surprised. The announcement not coming from them was never a good sign.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the Roles now?

    Or even if you put most or all of your feats toward it... As much as I love that edition and as much as Pathfinder improved it, I really have to admit that the 3E/Pathfinder fighter is pretty near useless as a class. That's one of the things 4E got right, and which I am happy to see passed on to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Edition Wars, WHY?

    One thing to keep in mind when discussing edition wars is you have to ask yourself if you are innocent of causing it or innocent of contributing to it. Sometimes, we are not aware we are contributing to it until after we take some time, think about it, and come back to look. That's part of why...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the Roles now?

    I apologize; offending statements removed. Edit: And, I spotted a tone issue with my editing note, so corrected that after facepalming.

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the Roles now?

    Being a defender wasn't a fighter's role; it was a tactical consideration. In fact, during 3E days, the fighter really wasn't even good at being a tank; the paladin and barbarian were simply better at it, due either to capacity to self-heal or simply having more hit points. When you start...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are the Roles now?

    In prior editions and in 5E, there isn't that much stopping the fighter from focusing on being a pure damage-dealer who doesn't just absorb damage. In fact, the fighter wasn't even the best class for absorbing damage as of 3E; that was the barbarian. That damage absorbing ability of the...

    If they're all the same person, then you've got bigger problems than what I did with them!

    D&D 5E (2014) Game of Thrones with dice

    "Your wife, your sister, your mother, and that girl you had a crush on when you were thirteen!" Yeah, I would call the ambulance before the session even started just to make certain they're there in time.
