    D&D 5E (2014) The semantics of the spell Sending

    I don't think this is ambiguous; it's definitely the second one. There's no reason for the "any"s to be there if they aren't quantifying the relevant amount of fighting or spellcasting.

    Super Giveaway - All 5th Edition Books

    Entered. Don't exactly have a favourite but the one I'd be most excited about were I to win is probably Rising from the Last War, followed closely by Tomb of Annihilation.

    Let's Have a Peek At TRANSFORMERS and GI JOE!

    Is it just me or is the perspective on that GI Joe cover really weird? It's very hard to tell where anything/anyone is in relation to each other. That's still the one I'm most interested in and it's not close.

    Level Up (A5E) Vote! Which Of These Features Of Level Up Are You Excited About?

    Only picked 11 but that was a case of trying to stick to the really important stuff, if I clicked everything that interests me about this project it would easily have been over twice that. If I could only pick one it would probably be "Meaningful choices every time you level up", this is what...

    Level Up (A5E) When can I play the game

    I'm not sure where the information that it starts October 5 comes from (I was in fact just about to complain that I can't find that kind of information anywhere - here, Kickstarter, or www.levelup5e.com!), but if that's true you're very unlikely to get it by the 9th. Notice that Russ said awards...

    D&D 5E (2014) Integrating a story-resistant player

    Some people need to how things actually work out in play before they have any real idea who their character is. Having run it to completion, WotBS gives plenty of opportunities to form connections after the campaign starts.

    WotBS Advice on killing off a prominent NPC in war of the burning sky

    I blew Torrent up right after she finished her opening spiel and never looked back. Three Weeping Ravens was also replaced with an ex-PC whose player had left the group early on, similar to what you're contemplating, it worked out fine.

    Level Up (A5E) Magic Item Price List

    (Shrug.) You appeared to be straight up denying the existence of any details on copying spells, period. In fact you came very close to explicitly saying as much in the post I was replying to. I now see how it could be read a different way, the one you apparently had in mind, but that was by no...

    Level Up (A5E) Magic Item Price List

    Did you miss the post where I did exactly this?

    Level Up (A5E) Magic Item Price List

    Player's Handbook, page 114, the sidebar "Your Spellbook", third paragraph under "Copying a Spell into the Book", first sentence: "For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp."

    Worlds of Design: To Move or Not to a New Edition?

    There isn't one simple answer to a question like this. It depends what I think of the changes. I picked the second, "sometimes new sometimes old" option but that's just the most common answer. I certainly don't have the need some people do to always be using the latest and ostensibly greatest...

    ZEITGEIST Copying from Zeitgeist PDFs

    As I mentioned before, I'm currently running Zeitgeist on Roll20. Sometimes it would be really useful to be able to copy and paste a picture from the pdfs, most commonly an NPC portrait. However this does not seem to be anywhere near as straightforward as it might sound. When I try to do this...

    Cypher System by Monte Cook Games: what do you think about it?

    Here are two Facebook posts I've written about it at different times. TL;DR - tried it, didn't like it. EDIT: I should clarify that the second one is specifically about Numenera and a few bits of it may be specific to that implementation, but most of it will apply to all the main Cypher titles...

    Pathfinder 1E How to Survive Dominate

    If they're vulnerable to Dominate, they're vulnerable to Hold Person, which is also a lot less resource-intensive to cast. Basically any save-or-suck or save-or-not-be-part-of-that-fight effect with a Will save.

    ZEITGEIST Draçon de Mer

    I'm sure that's all true but it seems beside the point. The issue was that the map doesn't match the description (including in ways that directly affect gameplay and are not just flavour text); I said nothing about whether the map or the description was more realistic.

    D&D 5E (2014) What does 5E do well?

    It does most things well enough. It's kind of a "second-best at everything" edition. One big factor is the whole "gateway drug" aspect of it, but you're somewhat right to dismiss that because that's not really because of any merit of its own. It's more good fortune in being around at the time...

    ZEITGEIST Draçon de Mer

    Hi, all. I'm reading ahead to the third adventure and I'm having trouble reconciling the map of il Draçon de Mer with the text. Where are the quarters that are mentioned in the Aftermath section? Where could the ramp mentioned under Tactics possibly be stored? For that matter where do people...

    RPG Print News – Legendary Games, Pelgrane Press, and More

    When Frog God says an adventure is for "Pathfinder", do they mean first or second edition? They're very different as I'm sure most people reading this realize, and the Noble Knight site the links go to is completely unhelpful on this point.
