I was just doing some layout work on my own love-letter to Final Fantasy, so I've bookmarked this thread and am checking some of the links with great interest. I have several, and was aware of most but not all, of the games mentioned. I especially appreciate the discussion of how the official Ys...

To some extent I'm playing Devil's advocate here, as I'm not a person who distrusts Mearls to anywhere near that degree. But what image such a person wants to present can still convey important information, even if you distrust them so much that if they said the sun rose this morning, you'd go...

Reaction to the intro set on here seems to be remarkably muted. Literally no-one is talking about it on the only forum dedicated specifically to Level Up! that I'm aware of. This seems to be the only post mentioning it in about six weeks. I know that when I got it, I tried to read through the...

Mostly I want to know what "whole bunch of weird, nit-picky rules about which specific types of attacks and which specific types of character can get critical hits in combat"he's talking about. Overall the article seems typical of Justin's stuff, not without its useful insights, but also...

No-one is saying temporary hit points changed. The nerf is that Wild Shape, Polymorph etc now give temp HP, instead of outright replacing your hp with those of the creature you Wild Shaped into. Since temp HP don't stack, this makes buffing Wild Shaped druids etc much harder to do effectively.

It does need to be better organized.

Magic Item Compendium (3.5)

Eberron Campaign Setting (3E)

GAZ 1, The Grand Duchy of Karameikos

They work fine for me, but the layout isn't very intuitive. The "Download" button is in the upper right.

Is LaNasa representing himself? If not, how common is it (in your experience) for a document from an actual lawyer to be this much of a train wreck?

Mostly I had the soul/body bit mixed up. I still have quibbles - I don't think that encounter is written or organized well - but I see the intent now.

Question about Always on Time, the fourth Zeitgeist adventure. It's important context here that this adventure mostly takes place on a train. In this encounter at the beginning of act 4, lanterns all over the train flash and, if all goes well for the bad guys, yank the PCs (and possibly a few...

At least on my laptop, the portion of the headline visible on the front page just reads "Traveller creator Marc Miller passes" and I got a very different impression of what this thread was going to be about...

Trademarks can. This would be primarily a matter of copyright, for which this isn't true.

And just like that, in a few lines that don't actually invalidate much if anything from the preceding almost-half-century, Gaiman rewrites so much of the series' lore in a way that actually makes everything make more sense. It's probably the most deft retcon of all time.

I disagree with Oofta. The PH description of the feat (p 170) says "before you make an attack"; it doesn't mention the Attack action or capitalize "attack" or anything like that. It seems clear to me that you can choose whether to use Sharpshooter for each individual attack, and if you have...

This is what I do. It's also seen in several of the Zeitgeist adventures, from the publishing arm of this very site. It seems to play well, with minimal tracking (some, but far less than if they just had hit points, even relatively few). In Roll20, I give every minion a hit point bar with 2 hit...

This is something I've noticed more and more of. People identify with their preferences in entertainment media - in the fairly literal sense of making being a Star Wars fan or whatever part of their identity, a big factor in how they think of themselves - to an unhealthy degree. And as a result...

So, double down on an approach that's done nothing but spectacularly fail so far. Can't see any way that could go wrong, no sirree.
