Going slightly off-script here... Source: Icewind Dale (PC video game) Artist: Jason Manley Class: Paladin Technically, its a licensed D&D game, so this should still count. There's actually several dozen portraits like this made specifically for this series. Many of them done by two artists...

Maybe, but some definitely have difficulty with sarcasm and jokes. :)

You're right. That is a very different kind of game. But D&D has always been a different game to different people, so this isn't surprising. It's just strange to me. So what exactly are you judging, if not their abilities? Their dice skills? Their ability to produce more 20s than other...

You know you still get to roll dice for damage, right? So there's still the "thrill" of rolling really good or really bad in the department that really counts: damage dealt. What do crits do anyway, except force more math on people? "Double these numbers, but not those!" This is supposed to be...

I like it. I didn't think I would, but after giving it some thought, it makes sense. Why should the rank and file need a moment to shine when they're only appearing for one scene in the heroes story? Crits are never about character choices or skill anyway. Its just a dice roll. Dice don't play...

No. But as always, I'll be interested in any new ideas they might come up with.

So many maps. I have several full-size prints hanging in my office that were already mentioned. But if I had space for another, it would be this one by Mike Schley: The Moonshae Isles was one of my favorite sandboxes within the Forgotten Realms, even though they weren't originally in...

Know when to say "that's far enough, let me off here." Only then can you begin making your own way, even...

Working on the next phase of my personal project for running 4e games on Fantasy Grounds Unity. Despite the Essentials-style covers, these will include most magic items and treasures from all available sources.

All I can say is that 5e failed to gain my interest since it came out. So while I cannot pinpoint anything specific, I can honestly say that there is an underlying confluence of several factors that continue to push me towards every other system or edition.

Work progresses, and things are starting to take shape.

I agree. There's a lot that can be done within a good VTT without the need for everything to be written into the program. My concern, however, is new players and players without access to the game materials. Players still need to know what their options are and how things work. If I were able...

Aside from everything that's already been discussed, I thought I would share some of the changes and additions I made for my Fantasy Grounds Essentials module. Keep in mind, I have particular goals and parameters that may be different than everyone else's. Here's a brief list: I want to create...
