    Clerics as summoners

    I'll help, but summoning in 3.X is kind of a pain and might not be worth it long term. Here are the steps: 1) You cast Summon Monster (x). X is the level of the spell. Now remember that summon monster has a 1 round casting time not 1 action. So you can't do anything else for that turn! 2)...

    D&D 5E (2014) No stat minima for spells?

    I'm kind of ok with this. If you want a Wizzaard who casts spells, but can't spell his own name. So, every spell he casts is a gamble at best-then the Int 6 wizard might be fun to play! Will piss of the party, but might be fun to play....

    Pay to Review?

    I guess my problem with that is-why not have those people prepay before so you have their reviews for your kickstarter? Otherwise it just seems a bit greedy to me, but the market will bear what the market will bear.

    Pathfinder 1E Which AP should I play with my group?

    It is, but there is too much of that in the later Skull and Shackles. You will have parts where you will spend 20 minutes drawling out the map, play for over an two hours with lots of monsters dead, but the PCs won't even be winded. It just wasn't fun. I ended up increasing all the combats...

    Pathfinder 1E Which AP should I play with my group?

    Skull and Shackles was awesome for me as a Pathfinder GM. My players enjoyed it, but it does have the standard Pathfinder problem with some late part math (10 CR 3's do not equal challenge to a level 9 PC!). But if you want some high seas fun and are willing to do the math since you play 13th...

    D&D 5E (2014) PDFs!

    WotC has two choices when it comes to PDFs: they can sell them or people will "find" them online. I love the new basic stuff, but if they don't get on the ground floor on this, they will lose money!

    D&D 5E (2014) Playtest +basic? Anyone run anything yet?

    I run encounters at a store. I pretty much let it be an "anything goes" zone with regard to whats being played at the table. We have playtest stuff alongside basic stuff. Its working ok. Then again, I keep the players from fighting too much about min/maxing et al.

    Pay to Review?

    I guess the early copy thing was the strange part for me. I know I'm not getting free stuff to write about on my website, but it's strange to see an early copy for reviews. Thanks for your input guys.

    Ring Side Report- RPG Review of Basic Rules for Dungeons and Dragons

    I always felt like 4e tied my hands too much as a DM. I played the hell out of that system, but I've had more then a few players look at me the GM and say No, you can't do that because of X when I played that game. In 1e DnD, DM word was law because I said so! if you DM was an ass about...
