I take it you didn't pick up any Sundering Adventures?

Seconding Neverwinter Campaign Guide. More adventure hooks per square inch than any book I've ever seen. Pretty easy to adapt it to a different world if you're not into FR, too.

I'm hoping <redacted> has "lazy" as a build option. (no, I'm not implying I know what <redacted> is, just hoping).

Ok, my confusion sprang from the fact that they're exactly the same mechanic, just used in different situations. Thanks. I seem to recall someone posting a list of the quantity of existing in-game saving throw effects that utilize each stat. Anyone have that handy? If I remember right the great...

Is there a functional difference between an ability check and a saving throw? It seems saves are a subset of ability checks: All saves are checks, but not all checks are saves. For example Cause Fear lets the target use its action to make a Wisdom check to try to remove the spell. Is there a...

1e differentiated itself from the previous edition by adding "Advanced." Of course they wouldn't have put "first edition" on the cover. 2e has it right in the logo. 3.0 I'm not sure since I don't have my 3.0 PHB any more, but 3.5 is boldly emblazoned on the front cover. 4e has it on the back...

Somebody new wants to get into the game. You tell them to buy the D&D Player's handbook. They ask which one--there's a bunch of different ones for sale online. You tell them "The one that doesn't say 3rd edition or 4th edition etc. It was released in 2014." Now double the confusion if it's a...

But until that point you're going to have to call it "The D&D that was released in 2014" as opposed to 4th edition or 3rd edition.

Can't say I'm a fan of simply naming it "Dungeons and Dragons." I can see a lot of confusion for novices getting into the game. "Next" "Unity Edition" "5th Edition" "Heritage" "Legacy" "Revenge of the Flumph" or just about anything else would've been preferable to me. Art looks great though.

I'll have to check this out, see how you treat firearms compared to my 4e Fallout game.

4e did a great job at removing the "I win" buttons, but it remains to be seen if 5e will keep a tight leash on player power, or if it gets looser as time goes on. Some people see that as a feature.

For this example I'm using the "Gargoyle Rake" which has the stone form ability which it can end as a minor action. Alice and Bob are readying an attack for when the gargoyle ends its stone form. Their readied action is an immediate reaction to the triggering event. When the gargoyle's turn...

One thing that's always surprised me is how WotC hasn't attempted RPG rules/setting products for Hasbro's other, more popular properties: GI Joe Transformers My Little Pony Magic: The Gathering These all have sizable followings, most have comics, cartoons, toys, etc., and I've seen fan-written...

(DiTerlizzi derail in progress) So is this the appropriate thread to show off the prints Tony signed for me at Gen Con in 2000? (framing my Adam Rex "Wrath of Manshoon")

Yeah, WAR can be really hit or miss for me, but that's definitely one of his better pieces IMO.

Halfling concept art from Conceptopolis, I believe Halfling Male Halfling Female Not my bag either.:-S

Maybe I should've phrased that better. The people actively participating in the types threads OP is citing are a tiny fraction. What is it, 30 people tops? Usually they boil down to a half dozen people arguing semantics after page 10.
