Prestige classes seem irrelevant to me? Why not make another wizard archetype? I would rather the class be linked more than it being so much of a small offshoot idea. I'm honestly more impressed with more powers being given to backgrounds like Thule 5E has done with their "narratives" than...

All events should be under the marketing department in one way or another, what it makes me wonder is that if the precedence for the big 'showy' things being top billing are going to continue.

Why does this remind me of the whole fiasco with Gencon? I've never been one to be excited about 'official' content anyway, but the organization of some of these events seem like they are out of touch with what the intention is. Nothing bad about the volunteers mind you, it just makes me...

Greyhawk being included has me interested a bit more, but I will wait and see if it is mostly fluff and light on crunch or the other way round.

In one of the Q&A's they did on twitch a viewer asked if they had considered doing multiplayer co-op or a skirmish style pvp with the ability to do like your own campaign against each other. They said they hadn't considered that at all and might have to talk that over internally. One of the...

I've been using tabletop simulator for my games, but it runs things like card games and such too and isn't dependent on any type of subscription, just $20 and done. I don't put the time like something like this looks to be, but I do like the 3D dice rolling and the 'table' atmosphere it can...

They had the requirement to make the game in little over an hour and are sitting on 1.1 million right now.

Backgrounds are different than normal 5E ones in that they have additional abilities that happen at different levels. Armor and weapon rules that limit things. Very nice bestiary. The big one is the backgrounds, they have 19 and call them 'narratives' rather than backgrounds, but they are in...

Looks like they made it that far. They have a lot of side goals relating to retweets and facebook looks as well. I'm hoping that this game has a lot of lore in it, Mechwarrior Online was lacking a lot of that.

From the Q&A they did on twitch the other night they are going to put in multiplayer pvp in the form of solaris if they get to that stretch goal. They do have a mission maker, but it isn't following exactly the tabletop rules but a lot closer than Mechwarrior Online.

Just wanted to make sure old fans of both the video games and the tabletop game know about this one, its looking like a really good title and Jordan Weisman the creator of the Battletech tabletop game and Mechwarrior RPG is at the helm...

I've had no problem DMing and killing characters in either system. Negative HP wasn't any better or worse IMO.

I find that letting the players roll for stats even in a standard "all in" 5E game ends up with some players so disinterested because of their low stats and others making short work of some opponents because of very lucky rolls. I don't mind the randomness from the old days, but the initial...

I talked to Venger on Twitter the other day. I believe they made an adventure that went along with the cartoon.....

First thing I did was run several adventures with just the Basic 5E rules (free ones you get on WotC site). This gave a very basic game that was easy for players to pick up. I ran it with my kids and then once with some adults. I would expand that idea by taking away most of the archetypes and...

Cool idea if you like tattoos, I'm too picky to ever get one.

This. It's one of the reasons I bought the Goodman Games sets (Fey Sister's Fate, War-lock, etc) and the Quests of Doom from Frog God Games (series of small adventures). I tend to use my own over arching plot and then put these in as either an offshoot of the main story, or redo one of the...

A big issue as well is expense and availability. I don't use Forgotten Realms, so it isn't a normality to just be able to acquire full plate at any city in a shop without investing time and effort in measurements etc. I also use encumbrance which can affect the overall carrying capacity of the...

Also not letting folks sleep in full plate without exhaustion.

For characters that don't want to focus on only boosting dex like a rogue or a dex ranger (either finesse melee or archer) but don't want to invest all into strength either like a str melee ranger or certain fighter builds. Barbarians that don't necessarily want to be totally unarmored always...
