I don't. I don't begrudge people who enjoy those kinds of add-on items, but it offers zero draw for me personally.

I think we should differentiate between being able to afford something and the belief that one is getting a good value for that money. I can afford this, but to me it doesn't pack enough punch to be worth $400. We live in a digital age, so the many paper battle maps offer negligible value for my...

As long as said crypt could accommodate a box that is approximately 16 ½" tall, 13 ½" at its widest point, and 3 ¼" thick. :)

The softcover book is the same size as a standard D&D book in terms of the height and width of the cover. It’s not quite as thick as the original CoS because the monster/NPC section was removed and put in another booklet (also included in the box). The box itself is massive. I was shocked at...

This one isn't for me. As others have already said, the d20 system has some serious limitations with regards to this type of gaming. And if you were going to play a d20 superhero TTRPG, you can pretty much cover any type of genre and power level with Mutants & Masterminds.

As an active D&D 5e DM, I don't use dice rolling for ability scores in my game. Firstly, on average, what does it really get you? If you use the 5e standard array of [15,14,13,12,10,8] as representative of a typical point-buy character (remember, the standard array is built using the 27-point...

Loved the design overview, and it has motivated me to check out the game. I did come here for the same thing TwoSix already brought up. If you're rolling a single d6, there is ~ 16.7% chance of rolling a 6. Because any of the dice can be a 6 regardless of what any of the other dice roll, you...

It's a dice pool system. The article itself has two links to previous articles about the Tests: "To make a Test, you will assemble your pool of six-sided dice (d6s) and try to meet or exceed the Difficulty Number (DN) of the Test."

Not that this necessarily carries any weight, but early Advanced Dungeons & Dragons convention games were tournaments. Players formed teams and threw themselves at the adventure trying to score as many points as they could. They were competitive. They relied on a Dungeon Master to fairly...

I hadn't considered that, using the dark-to-light token flips not as impetus to introduce a horror or Unknown element, but rather an indicator that it happened. I'm going to give that a try. Good tip.

I enjoy Chill 3rd edition. My D&D group takes occasional breaks for Chill adventures, which we really enjoy. As a GM, though, I was surprised that I liked the light/dark token system less in practice than I did when I first read the rule book. As a storyteller and game master, I don't need a...

You mentioned "non-public Kickstarter." I didn't listen to the podcast. Why won't the Kickstarter be public? Thanks for any info.

I'll be honest with you, Adam, even if you could sit down with everyone for 10 minutes and give your spiel, it would probably mean less than you think it would. I attended an entire presentation/game session for that whole Project Morningstar debacle at Origins a few years back. They gave a...

All I can see is a link to the D&D Beyond logo.

I CM (Chill Master, the Chill term for GM) Chill 3e from time to time. I've invested in all of the Kickstarter campaigns to date. I find that it's not a system that I would be interested in CMing as a long-term campaign. For instance, our gaming group tends to run years-long D&D campaigns. I...

What do the following acronyms stand for (within the context of W.O.I.N.)? 1. O.L.D. 2. N.O.W. 3. N.E.W. Thanks. CNYGamer99

Okay, thank you. Soon as in "sometime in the coming weeks" or soon as in "put it on your Christmas wish list"?

How do you get the WOIN books in hardcover?

Like many spells and abilities in 5e, this one has too-vague wording. So the question is, do you interpret the text as: 1) You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you can not have new instances of the Frightened condition put on you. or 2) You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you...

I'm hoping someone with experience using the Game Master 5 iOS app compatible with D&D 5e could answer a question. When setting up an XML document for a player character for use in Game Master 5, I'm having trouble with the two multi-word skills (Animal Handling and Sleight of Hand). It seems...
