The big upset of the day involved an all feline battle between one of the all time great overachievers against one of the most consistent underachievers in tournament history. They finally put Princeton and Arizona together, and of course Arizona lost (and it was tigers vs wildcats---not much...

On Thursday, in a huge, come from behind victory Furman (no, you have never heard of it) and specifically the Furman PALADINS, beat the far more prestigious University of Virginia. Virginia? You mean the Virginia CAVALIERS. Yes, thats right, the Paladins finally had a chance to show the...

I would iike simpler, but I see no evidence, at all, of that from 1 D&D. It simplifies a little there, but complicates over here. Making feats core and having more of them, for example, is certainly not a simplification or newb friendly. It could be good or bad for most players (really depends...

To sell core books and pre-painted plastic miniatures.

Legion is on the list(?!) Because it was really in a class by itself. Like Legion and all those other...shows.... (I guess that pic is a clue to being a fan).

In terms of designer intent, the cleric has been made more like the warlock. And warlock is certainly a popular class. I am guessing pact magic will survive, fortunately.

But wait. What are your experiences, what do you think of it in play?

I don't agree with everything in the OP, but the monk definitely needs help! Based on what we have seen so far, not sure they are going to get it.

So I wonder what will be revised. It will be complete revision...but what does it mean?

3 or 4. There is also the issue that we keep fighting giants and their minions. Shocking, I know. But that has made it feel more repetitive which the slowness makes worse, as we are not moving on to other things.

Mid-March for the next play-test packet means in about a week. And I am looking forward to it! As for a May kickstarter, it would be good to do a really good with this through April to ensure interest in that kickstarter. But no pressure of course.

Tenibor thanks them for there answer. "I will need to see it for myself. But I suspect it is better to leave it cut off from the world, as it was before." He will advance with the group through that hole. He will follow up on the location of the shrine. When the time comes, he may split off.

If you mean spells and magic items, like potions and scrolls, yes. If you mean torches and rations, maybe, maybe not. There were rules for these things (as I think there still are) but a lot of groups hand waved it. Also, with standard treasure rewards--which were needed to get XP to get out...

Tenibor tries first giant, then common if that doesn't work, with the prisoners. He confirms that after going south through the hole in this room, then turning west, one will come to a shrine of terror. "You found this shrine by tunneling? Could those tunnels be collapsed?"

The math is a problem. I think it has to do with bounded accuracy. So the way opponents get tougher is through HP and dmg. Then, on top of this, the implementation of the math, especially in MM1 and in encounter building advice, also leaves a lot to be desired. But once you start to make any...

Not too quote myself...but there is a very strong every other edition effect. 1e outsold 2e. B/X outsold BECMI. 3e outsold 4e. Then of course 5e outsold everything. Can they really top it? Can they even keep the momentum going? New things will come along in the next two years, who knows what...

I think Quag Keep actually is official, or semi-official. And Guardians is under-appreciated. But what is really under-appreciated is Gord the Rogue! From the master himself! Oh well.

I agree with the first para, not sure about the second. I also remember those days well. WoD, GURPS, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, TORG, Palladium games, CoC, different versions of Traveller...these were all relatively popular. Many groups would play multiple systems. D&D on the other hand was...

Hidden in plain sight for everyone?

on size and scouting: does it by RAW, or is it more an interpretation? With these you can make WIS based stealth checks. The loss of the animal HP is a huge, huge nerf in play. And the so-so stats don’t make up for it.
