I'd like to have an OGL so that I would know where I stand with using Lulu to print bound copies of my house rules and players guide for my campaign, not for profit. And I'd really like an OGL which would facilitate 3rd party electronic tools. I could use the current, expensive option of the...

Back in 3.5, I used a projector to show a Maptools player screen. I found that orientation to be problematic because it drew us away from facing each other at the table; that for us was a big part of the experience that we ended up losing. In the end we started playing at a house with a glass...

Do you keep a list of circumstances that provide ad/dis-ad? How often do you use it per session?

Folks, I'm getting geared up for a new 5e campaign, and wondering what I should have on my laptop or printed out and have on hand. What have you found that you use frequently at the table? Do you use the DM screen, and which tables do you use? What tables from the DM's Guide or the...

Hah, I misremembered my own rules a bit. For rests, you need food and water as below. That's as they are now. I may adjust a bit either way; currently either these numbers of the 200 coins=1 slot/item/line feel a bit forgiving. We'll see. First few games sessions have been in the city...

I use a variation of this. My modifications: rests require a set amount of rations and water and healing hit dice requires consumables; each are linked to encumbrance. How much you rest and heal is linked to how much you carry, but the more you carry the more you may be encumbered and the...

Here's a review of T5. http://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/2014/01/traveller-tuesday-review-of-t5.html

My own preference when I was running games on a VTT (maptools ftw): I liked furniture and such as placeables. Sometimes I didn't want what the artist did. At the least, I know I would appreciate it if your pdf used layers so that I could turn furniture (or numbers, the grid, or the...

What do you use for in-game effects of these weather conditions?

If you pay the "ULTIMATE PRICE" :), then the rest of your group can just download an unregistered version, correct? That could work. I have house rules and a lot of home brewed content. How easy is it to a)create content from scratch (mostly already defined powers already in use) and b)...

From my blog. There's a bit more rationale there. Identify 1st-level divination (ritual) Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a pearl worth at least 100gp and an owl feather) Duration: Instantaneous Caster Lvl Rarity Tier 1 Common 3 Uncommon 5 Rare 11 Very...

All these posts and nobody said a license that 3rd party press could use (not necessarily the OGL but SOMETHING!), PD-freaking-Fs or other means of accessing the rules electronically? If you're going to shut down fan electronic tools but not provide one of your own you are screwing your customers.

I think WotC really blew it not having some kind of summary page/pages. The one I made was copied from dungeondonuts.tumblr.com

Thanks. Favorited. One thing: most groups record treasure on a group sheet, right? A while back we decided that we'd use Lamentations-style encumbrance, but on the group treasure sheet. So each person would tell the treasure recorder (we'd call them the quartermaster and give them an exp...

Thanks, I was hoping someone had done this, somewhere. I must say though I liked one of the original slot sizing questions: "Can you palm it?" - too small to count. "Can you hold a group of them in your hand?" - a bundle counts as a slot. "Can you hold it with one hand?" it's a slot. "Do...

You can already download a beta of the Character Builder. It only has the first three levels, and there are some bugs. It IS a beta after all. But after having very diminished expectations from previous WoTC software efforts, I am VERY impressed by the usability of the character generator...

They're minions. They're meant to die. They're not Orcus. Any destruction of minions I'd hardly call 'gamebreaking'. The wizard could pretty easily clear a lot of them with one power as well. There are plenty of other ways for warlocks to massacre minions, especially with Adventurer's Vault...

Sorry to pester on the question... Many swordmage powers use implements, and the swordmage class specifically allows a sword to be an implement. So if Blade Initiate does not allow swords to be used as implements, how are the implement sword mage powers used? Of course, this could just be...
