    WotC Unveils Draft of New Open Gaming License

    As with other posters, the "if you do/say things we don't like, we can yank your license" is something I strongly dislike. This isn't GITP, so I can be a bit more detailed, but I also don't want to generate a derail into faith and morality. In the interests of avoiding that derail, I'll just...

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you deal with expensive material components in your campaigns?

    Historically, I have allowed a straight GP-> Component conversion. This was mostly because it was my first 5e game, and the party was running around Castlevania Castle Dracula where there were no stores, but was plenty of treasure. When I start my Baldur's Gate II game, I will have a few more...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sticking with D&D?

    I have two campaigns ready to go (one short, one 1-20) so no need to make any decisions for the next 2 years. Everyone I play with knows 5e. Most have no experience with other systems. I haven't spent much money with WOTC in a while because I wasn't happy with the direction they've gone in...

    D&D Movie/TV The Dragons of Honor Among Thieves get their own Nerf Guns

    Ah, it's just another single-shot Nerf Elite. We already have 5 of those, and my 6yo now prefers his magazine-fed Stryfe. Price point at $12 looks wrong.

    D&D 5E (2014) Plague Doctor Campaign Ideas

    Zombification disease? Really anything works, as long as it spreads faster than the number of spell slots available for Cure Disease allows for curing. I have a partly finished Poison/Disease cleric domain for Talona done, can post if desired. Talona's clergy spends as much time curing...

    D&D General What Would You Base A non-OGL 5e-alike Game On? (+)

    My first thought is a magic tag/power system, where you have 4 different descriptors, with a different point cost, and combine them according to the point limit imposed by the caster's level, and based on which options are known. I'll spitball some numbers here. When you cast, you pick one from...
