You are right. I wonder now if most of the tools to make a "Learn D&D on your own." are not really out there but in different products. Some are in the free basic game, some are in the starter sets, some are in the choose you own adventure books and the YA books that have been coming out...

Well, best to her certainly. I, like so many others, really like Ghost of Saltmarsh. Regarding new user experiences: I keep circling back to the upcoming Adventure Begin game that is suppose to be a "Quick Entry to Dungeons & Dragons". A mid-step hybrid board game that ties directly to 5th...

I kind of hate to come up with this point, and maybe someone can destroy my logic here. But rather than comparing Greyhawk with Conan and S&S, wouldn't a better comparison be Game of Thrones with more fantasy (races and monsters) and slightly more magic (Classes and items) ? While not perfect...

I don't know if that was designed to drive home a point. But, I know a situation where that fits perfect. In my D&D group, we have one guy that paints minis as a hobby. At the start of a campaign, he really goes out of his way to try and find good miniatures for each player. He buys them...

I have been toying with a Wizard(Conjuration) with soldier background that has Weapon Master (Glaive, Halberd, Longbow) and then Polearm Master feat. I would play him as the front line battlefield tactician type. Lots of "Form on me." and "Watch the flanks" as he throws out control spells...

Agreed. I mean this is a big set up for a Kaiju fight, right? Didn't someone in some post compare Auril to a Kaiju? ( I seem to remember it but I could be wrong). Heck, maybe the PCs even get to control the Tarrasque.

It was my understanding that "Gawain" could be pronounced either way. I would get this, but worry this is just a step up from the Wendy's RPG, and I that my money would be better spent supporting something like Chaosium's Pendragon.

Arrrrrrrgh!!!!! I totally get the reliance on Kickstarter. But man it plays havoc with my adult ADD. So I have to wait for the Kickstarter, then watch it unfold(which I will back) then wait for it to be produced and shipped. I am running an Arkaidia campaign right now because once I heard...

I have a later printing of 2nd edition, which had new art, New layout and cleaned up some stuff. It started with a full page "This is not a 3rd edition" explanation. I think we will see something like this. A new PHB, but not titled 5.5 and certainly not 6th. Their hope will be to create a new...

I voted Arrow, but the last two seasons were a bit of a struggle for me. The first 3 seasons of Flash I loved, even with the Time-Whamm-ness and mopey-ness. But I think the writers boxed themselves in too much season after season. Team Flash would learn the big bad very early in a season...

Shakespeare: The rival families and street war in Romeo and Juliet The witches (hags) making mischief by the roadside in Macbeth Doppelganger causing trouble in different plays Faire Courts in Midsummers Night Court intrigue in Hamlet Lots of ways to get...

I agree with those predicting a Xanathar's style book. Since it built our sub-classes, and their are several races that need updating, a book that provides a fairly big range of new race (folk?) options would work on several levels.

So, all of my traditional inspiration has already been listed, so I will go with some of my out of left field ones: Tombstone. And I mean that for D&D. There is just something about the party (3 brothers and Doc) that screams D&D to me. Heck, in my minds eye I see Doc with a wand not a rifle...

As an aside, I watched the Christmas themed D&D episode of Big Bang Theory last night. Every encounter they showed involved player challenges not character challenges (outside of some combat rolls).

Wrist-Radar- A watch like device that has a radar function. Can have various settings. Eye Cam- A wearable or cybernetic device that feeds a video live stream to a 3rd party. May or may not be able to receive a signal.

I get the problems. I didn't back Deadlands this week because as awesome as it looks getting my group to learn/play/enjoy it would be an effort. Instead, I will just hack new World of Darkness for a Western setting if I want to play Weird West. We are older players that over the decades played...

Give me more like Wildemount. While I will absolutely buy any 2nd edition retread, I would love to see more from independents that hit it just right and get brought in to the big time. . Heck, even Forgotten Realms is a homebrew world that got bought and caught fire, right?

Played and DM'ed a lot of 2nd edition. It was, to us, basically 1ed with THAC0 and Kits. We never used Power and Skills. As a player, my character sheet (or session sheet) would have a to hit table so I could quickly call out the AC I hit. As a DM I would have a master sheet with the...

Hmmm. Looking at the way spells work, the "to-hit" rolls don't go up every level but the amount of spells you know/can cast do. Maybe, your system should only affect what you know (Which skills, weapons, armors, spells) but not how well you do them. So your attack rolls, skill rolls, saving...
