    FFG SW: Edge of the Empire... Opinions?

    I'm finally going to be playing in a game instead of running one. This Saturday at Knight Watch Games in San Antonio, they're running a "demo" game in hopes of starting up a group. This game has been out a while and I played it once about... oh... 5 years ago or so (?). As such, I know the dice...

    D&D 5E (2014) Wounds - when would you give them?

    We use Injuries (from the DMG) if the target is When it takes a critical hit AND it drops to 0 hit points but isn’t killed outright. This makes them rarer but still nasty if they happen. Also, the target's player gets to CHOOSE the Injury if the roll is a 1, 2, or 3. We really don't like the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Recommend me a 5e campaign book

    @Kurotowa : What Glassjaw just said. Plus, p air it with the Essentials Kit and you've got enough stuff to take your group up to 12th level, easy. Along with dice, goodies, maps, coupons for DNDBeyond, etc. Really, the two of those together are a GREAT deal! Amazon: Starter Kit Amazon...

    D&D General Mechanics you DO want to see return

    Haha! Yeah. I've notice that one person's crap is another person's treasure. Seems to be a recurring theme on message boards.

    D&D General Time period of the City of Greyhawk box set?

    I'm looking to complete my Pre-Greyhawk Wars stuff and I'm missing the City of Greyhawk box set. So a quick question: Is the City of Greyhawk box set set before or after the Greyhawk Wars? Thanks everyone.

    Mythras: Classic Fantasy?

    From the thread "An Interview with Lawrence Whitaker," this was mentioned. I'd love to hear more about it. Don't know as I'd ever use it, but it does sound very, very intriguing. I mention this because the one drawback I've had with Mythras was getting others to play it. It was such a big...

    D&D General Mechanics you DO want to see return

    It's in the Dungeon Master's Workshop chapter under Healing. Healing Surges This optional rule allows characters to heal up in the thick of combat and works well for parties that feature few or no characters with healing magic, or for campaigns in which magical healing is rare. As an action, a...

    OD&D Evidence Chainmail Had Material from Dave Arneson

    I'm starting to suspect that he's being deliberately obtuse in an effort to irritate others and amuse himself.

    D&D General Mechanics you DO want to see return

    Yah, wasn't a big fan of it either, but I try to stay as close to RAW as possible. After 30 some years of houserules, I keep them the bare, bare minimum now. 99% of the houserules I do have, have been proposed by the players. So I use the Variant Rule from the DMG: Variant: More Difficult...

    I had a thing for the LBB Traveller Character Sheets. They were supposed to look like official government forms and did!

    Critical Role Critical Role: Amazon Orders 2 Seasons Of The Legend Of Vox Machina

    Why would they want to use another system? Everyone that has been mentioned is a HUGE fan of D&D. They like playing D&D. Like a LOT if their own comments are taken into account.

    Thank you! That's awesome for me to hear.

    D&D 5E (2014) Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Pre or Post GHW?

    Groovy. So there's no real lore in it that mentions the Wars. Thanks!

    D&D 5E (2014) Ghosts of Saltmarsh: Pre or Post GHW?

    Quick question that my pre-work, hurried google-fu has been unable to answer: Is Ghosts of Saltmarsh set Pre-Greyhawk Wars or Post-Greyhawk Wars? Thanks for any help!

    D&D General Mechanics you DO want to see return

    I'd like to see the return of the Fortitude, Reflex, Will saves again. I really liked that application. Not too much I'd like to see return beyond that.

    D&D General The limiting drawback of character customization

    I tend to customize items to fit the group. BUT (I... like big BUTs and cannot lie... er... back to the topic.) But I also like to throw in items that I know they can't use or use well so that they will try to sell or trade them when they get to town. Thus opening up avenues for introducing...
