    Advice Needed: Buying New Laptop

    If the rest of the current laptop is still alright, and it's only the HD that's failing, if it's under warranty, try that. (although looking at the specs below you may be wanting to upgrade if planning on playing any more recent computer games) If not, you might be able to have the contents...

    Alignment restrictions?

    At the very least the older alignment system is in the general geek public consciousness proven by i09.com's Game of Thrones application of traditional DnD Alignment. What if Game of Thrones characters had Dungeons & Dragons alignments?

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next Blog "Avoiding Choice Traps"

    I had suggested a minor separation of feats and traits for combat and non-combat abilities on the article. Feats thus would grant a combat ability boost, and could provide an exploration boost, while Traits provide a roleplaying and could provide an exploration boost. This way you could...

    Alignment restrictions?

    I like them, as it's a reminder for roleplay. They were prevalent in 2nd ed, and useful guidance as a player. Like any aspect of the rules, if you don't like them, ignore em via House Rules and carry on. (either as DM, or with DM's permission for his game) Although some are easier to do...

    How the D&D Next Public Playtests Will Work

    I'd think they'd want a larger baseline of what works/doesn't work from pregens before releasing the char gen rules. Going from a little over 1000 (I believe the friends/family playtest is about here in number) people to 10000+ (exaggerated or not, I don't know) people even with Pregens will...

    You're on a Boat . . .

    The old "he doth protest too much", concept, he either has a perfect memory, or has attempted to craft the perfect alibi. Although not enough to convict, it's definitely suspicious, and would lead to further questioning, and searching of gear. Oh, you were here on the last night's party, at...

    D&D 4E Things wrong with 4e: The Far Realm

    If mortals were to travel to the Far Realm, it might look a little like this.. as our brains try to comprehend what happens around us. Octodad Glitching Out Is A Thing Of Nightmares Barring perhaps the music... Thus why mortals go mad when visiting the Far Realm...

    Do You Own a Valuable CCG Card...?

    Garbage Pail Kids had both Stickers and Cards, plus I think I remember some attempt at a MAD like magazine/comic... I had a few of them back in the day.

    Gord the Rogue - Where to Purchase

    This is the kind of thing that would be perfect for release in ebook format, at a cheap price (under $5, Canadian or US).. I find a reference to a sold out Hardcover copy on Chapters.indigo in canada, and several used copies at at least twice the listed price...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Strange should Flora and Fauna be in the Default 5E Setting?

    I think it'll depend on the setting and world you want to display. But most DnD settings are heavily influenced by European flora and fauna. Or on a grander scale, the environs of Earth. How much magic has an influence should be determined, but, the truly exotic environs are usually still...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Next weekly art column!

    Voted for #7, as I liked update to the 2nd ed version, with more depth. But I also liked #9, and think the 4th ed version is still great. Both #7 and #9 need a little clean up/adjustment I think, but those would be great start points. A few others looked decent, I still like that cute sketch...

    5E: Collectible Rules Are In! (April Fools Post)

    Something Awful leak.

    Somewhat getting back to the topic of the 'Leaked' information. I don't know if Wizards have debunked this or not, anyone see any notes, comments about it from Wizards personnel? If it's from an actual leak of the 1.0 or earlier alpha version of DND Next(although it seems to be heavily...

    D&D 5E (2014) How Should D&D Next Be Advertised?

    It's popular enough in a sea of generic comedies on TV. Geek is in, so to speak. And I can totally see the gang playtesting the open testing rules similar to this weeks Star Wars The Old Republic gaming marathon sleepover...

    Morrus on... Races

    I was thinking somewhere along these lines, whereas, with the 4d6 drop lowest, with allowing Primary/Secondary abilities to swap from another ability score 1/1 instead of 1/2. But why not simply make a the bonuses/penalties completely optional. I realize that there should be a default, which...

    What's Up With D&D? for Monday, 6 February 2012

    RA Salvatore just did a IAmA on Reddit, he mentions a few things related to his book writing, and some cryptic mentions for Forgotten Realms regarding things coming later this year. Also mentions a novel The Stone of Tymora, which I haven't heard about, but I haven't been following FR novels...

    And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I game

    A friend of mine played an awakened Panther Ranger in 3.5. He was a former druid companion, and the druid cast the awaken spell shortly before his death. Although the campaign didn't last too long, at the time he did a lot of following around another PC, shadowing him.

    Weem and the Caves of Chaos

    This is something I'd like to see Wizards offer for their modules through DDI. Printable Hi Res maps for use in play. Not so useful for the maps using only the tiles, but for the actual proper maps.
