    Backdrop: Moonshae Isles

    This is the article posted here http://archive.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/dun/201111backdrop Unfortunately I don't have a quick link to the maps. If you're tracking down Moonshae info from the DDI era of the Dungeon magazine and Dragon magazine you might be interested in these as well...

    Help me design Epic Destinies for ZEITGEIST?

    Not much experience with the Epic destinies, but Legendary sovereign sounds like it would fill the place of King of a Nation pretty well. Also one of my players would probably be interested in whatever you come up with for the Unseen Lord of the Fey given where he's taking his character...

    Good Wizards Play Store in Seattle

    I've been away from Seattle for about two years, but since you're not getting much answers, I'll chime in. Gamma Ray games opened just after I left, but I think it would probably be the closest store to downtown (it's in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle). Since you mentioned Encounters, I...

    D&D 5E (2014) The format of the spell list in the PHB is just plain awful.

    This spreadsheet could help organize things http://mouseferatu.com/index.php/news/august-8-2014-a-special-gift-for-my-fellow-dd-fans/

    D&D 3.x Where are the 4e and 3e resources?

    The main page for the 3e archives wasn't opening correctly for me right now, but the url is http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/archives If that's not just some error on my end, you can find links to other categories from http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/sh

    D&D 5E (2014) Official: Dragonborn = Draconian

    Off the main topic, but have you seen what Quinn Murphy is doing with drow? https://storify.com/filamena/quinn-saves-the-underdark http://www.thoughtcrimegames.net/icons-of-the-drow-the-spider-queen/ Back on topic, this approach seems to make sense to me. If there's a race in the player's...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Real Question About 5th Edition

    Found the news post from when 5e was announced, which links to his earlier 4e comments(scroll to Jan 12) .

    D&D 5E (2014) The Real Question About 5th Edition

    While I can't seem to find it right now, I seem to remember seeing somewhere Rich Burlew making pretty much this exact point in response to this question about why he wasn't intending to explicitly switch to 4e.

    This is my new all-time favorite monster book (13th Age Bestiary)

    I believe it was one month after the print version goes out

    D&D 5E (2014) It's Dwarfy McDwarferson from the Player's Handbook!

    While the text description makes me think a darker skin would have been better, my first thought when I saw the picture was it looked like Violet from Rat Queens, which I don't mind.

    Monsters based on logical fallacies

    Argument from Incredulity - I don't believe you could have hit me, so that last attack clearly must have missed.

    Organization of Family (spoilers)

    If they were planning this ahead of time maybe, though the way the way this situation comes up, I'm not sure if they really would have time to get a response. Anyway, in the actual game they didn't really think much of the possible conflict with Cippiano, just some jokes after the fight was...

    Organization of Family (spoilers)

    So my group has been enjoying taking advantage having contacts with Morgan Cippiano and the Family in Flint. Now we're about the get the point in Always on Time where Griento will be wanting to get their help with the Family in Nalaam. That leads me to wondering how closely integrated the...

    D&D 5E (2014) What FR books would I need to have read to run GoDSC?

    I haven't seen Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, but suspect thewok is correct that all you'd NEED should be the adventure itself. If you're looking for a good resource to get a sense of the Realms Grand History of the Realms is a good resource though

    D&D 5E (2014) Next D&D Next Adventure Scourge of Sword Coast will be PDF Only

    Not that it contradicts the possibility that this is an experiment, but Chris Tulach posted on twitter that printing with the newest playtest rules would have needed a delay in starting the adventure. https://twitter.com/christulach/status/413090360080883712

    D&D 4E messy's 4e newbie questions thread

    The melee training feat used to work that way (or other stats), it was later changed with errata so it only applies to the attack bonus, and uses half the mod for damage bonus. Scout rangers and Thief rogues (both from essentials) both have class features that do that - which was probably the...

    ZEITGEIST Suggestions for things to improve, fix, or add for the ZEITGEIST Act One compilation?

    In the fight with MacBannin, I had some contradictions between his abilities and what seemed reasonable tactics (though that may be just my interpretation). I played MacBannin as wanting to get back to his lab, thus trying to run away from the group. But since his hex touch was only melee based...
