I'll be DMing a new 5E campaign, while carrying on our ongoing 4E campaign. During the playtest we've played a bunch of one-off games, but now it's time to launch a proper campaign. Both games shine in different ways, I think. I have a couple of players who'll be playing in both campaigns: I'm...

I thought the 4E Underdark book was just crammed with great adventure ideas. The Plane Above: Secrets of the Astral Sea is great for understanding the 4E view of the planes: there's some really evocative stuff in there. For a dark city campaign, check out Shadowfell: Gloomwrought and Beyond...

This is great news. Being able to pick up any adventure you see on the shelf, and run it without an additional purchase? Just brilliant.

Beacons were used in medieval cultures to signal invasion (England is littered with hill forts and other signaling points). A low-magic culture could easily adapt these to perform more advanced signals, perhaps using alchemically-coloured fires to form a kind of visual morse code. Horse...

I ran into some minor problems with this adventure right from the start. The intro read-aloud tells the players about the orc raid on the Floshin estate, and the kidnapping of his servants. It even ends with "One can only imagine their horrible fate!". A bit of asking around, and the players...

I know. And the zombies. But I've spoken to a lot of people who just seem to bypass that.

Game of Thrones has definitely attracted new fans who would otherwise sneer at the fantasy genre. Anecdotally, I know a few people who claim that the Lord of the Rings movies are silly and "all about fairies", but love Game of Thrones because it's more realistic. Low-fantasy probably has a...

With certain party makeups, minions can be fairly ineffective if played by the book. Both *defenders* in my paragon party have powers that can vaporize minions that start their turn adjacent - and that's not even taking the controller into account (who eats minions for breakfast every turn). I...

Yeah, this is brilliant.

It says round 2 is coming on April 30: "Check back this Wednesday, to see how the follow-up adventuring party fares in the steading! Can the save the failed first party?"

This system sounds relatively scalable to me - i.e. you could quite easily extend the turn length and increase the amount of creatures per stand.

I agree that you should go for a one-shot rather than start a campaign. If you're holding out for the starter set, it's guaranteed to have a beginner adventure (most likely something new). My advice: don't get bogged down in rules, and keep it informal. Practice a silly voice, even if it's...

D&D Next Q&A is up with some clarification about fighter maneuvers: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/dndqa/20140404 1) Some fighter maneuvers allow you to combine actions that are available to other characters with your attack (e.g. a push combined with an attack). Others maneuvers...

I'm intrigued to find out what the "Rally" maneuver entails...

I'd like the rules to support a variety of attacks without needing feats. If it's something I could reasonably try to do, there should be a rules framework of some sort to support it - even if it's a broad catch-all "stunt" rule. It sucks being told you can't do something because you don't have...
