    The Return of Volo; Plus An Official D&D Coloring Book

    Hmm. Interesting, but it makes me think the Dungeonology book will be something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Dragonology-Complete-Book-Dragons-Ologies/dp/0763623296 and if so I am not very excited, to be honest. I would like some actual Realms material please, WotC.

    D&D 5E (2014) Chapter lay-out in the PHB...

    I guess I see the OP's point but, as JohnnyNitro pointed out, it was most likely a tradition type of decision. I have never had too much of a problem with it. If you want a true test of your nerves of steel and actually find yourself coming out the other end a Smeagol than check the flipping...

    D&D 5E (2014) WTF Wizards of the Coast? *RANT* (video link)

    Very much agreed. If Fantasy Grounds under license has happened then, hypothetically, other software companies can approach WotC with a proposal for an app. My guess is that potential software companies don't see the demand or the profit in a D&D app and my vote is that it is the later...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best Armor in D&D

    I voted chainmail as I tend to play defender type characters or Clerics, but I would give Chain Shirt a close second for me due to versatility as others have stated above.

    D&D 5E (2014) My homemade 5th Edition Mass Combat Rules (Based on Handling Mobs)

    This is interesting and I will have to give a try in my upcoming Mystara campaign. Usually I have opted to use an extended skill challenge to adjudicate large battles and sieges.

    D&D 5E (2014) DM Seeking Urban Adventure Material

    Check out Ptolus by Monte Cook. It's a mega city campaign and has a ridiculous amount of information in it that you can lift for other things. I believe he said that it was the campaign he used to playtest 3.0 when it was in development...

    What Will Become of the FLGS?

    I doubt that will ever happen in any serious way. Amazon has too much clout with both their sales numbers, market penetration, and Amazon Prime. It doesn't really behoove gaming companies to help out the FLGS, at least not RPG companies. Perhaps wargame companies should care due to the...

    Product Concept - Naval Combat

    Well, I don't think it would need a huge amount of extra rules. Perhaps some thought put into changing altitudes and how that might affect combat, but I think the normal naval rules would work well enough as a starting point.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mystara 5th Edition Fan Made Supplement

    Thanks for the added input. I decided to go in order, bought the first 5 via DTRPG, as I like the idea of reading them in the same order as people would have when they were first printed. As an aside, I just spent $25 that I was not planning to spend due to a fan made work for an older...

    The D&D Movie Finds Its Director

    You know, I could see this being a good multi-media strategy for the D&D brand as a whole. "WotC Presents: The Sands of Athas, A Dungeons & Dragons movie. Like what you see in the movie? Check out D&D at our website and play the tabletop game with our new Athas sourcebook, or travel to Athas...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mystara 5th Edition Fan Made Supplement

    Yes, I was looking at the GAZ series of sourcebooks. I will most certainly be picking them up from DTRPG and physically via eBay if I can. Is it best to buy the series in number order?

    D&D 5E (2014) Mystara 5th Edition Fan Made Supplement

    I just found this via another thread and I am floored. I am too young to have experienced the Mystara products in print, but I think WotC is about to get some money from me for their Mystara stuff on DRPG just to show there is still demand for the setting.

    D&D 5E (2014) WTF Wizards of the Coast? *RANT* (video link)

    Oh yeah, totally! Hearthstone called WotC's bluff on a well produced multi-platform CCG making money. They couldn't conceive it, even though their customers were clamoring for it, now Blizzard's little juggernaut is biting them in the arse and they are plotting damage control. It would be too...

    D&D 5E (2014) WTF Wizards of the Coast? *RANT* (video link)

    What?! When did that happen?! But seriously there are not a huge amount of mobile apps for RPGs anyway. Yeah there are a bunch of little crappy character sheets apps, and Syrinscape (which is AWESOME) but not a whole lot else. WotC is not a tech company, they will not be the innovator in the...

    Product Concept - Naval Combat

    Very good idea. I'd certainly be down for some quality airship rules.

    New Unpainted miniature line by Wizkidz

    From the pictures they look pretty decent. They might be useful in allowing me to keep my chaff such as goblins, kobolds, gnolls, etc in the bones arena whilst moving purchasing of things that would be in less quantity to this range. I'll be interested to get some of these in my hands.

    Un-invitation

    Yeah, if he contacts you then it would be worth having a constructive conversation about his negative impact on the group's play experience, but if he isn't proactive then don't go out of your way yourself.

    UNITY RPG: The Best of D&D 4E, Pathfinder, & Dungeon World

    Color me intrigued. I would just like to see how it is supposed to work. It sounds like it will reach for too much without being effective at anything. Also, personally, I'm not sure I would want a 4E without tactical combat.

    Let them go?

    Honestly, I would ask for one or two more sessions of SR to wrap up the campaign. Then I would very politely ask who would like to run the D&D campaign. You shouldn't be forced to run something you aren't ready to run, but the players shouldn't be forced to continue to play SR either. The kid...
