I'll spend a few minutes on it, just for fun. Every adventurer has goals, things they want to do... powers or items they want to acquire. Hopefully they're tied into their background. But in any case, they're not entirely secret desires that are never spoken of. An enemy with a 24 Intelligence...

I'd like to know a lot more about the prospective students and expected classroom structure... is this a class for credit? If so, for what? Or is this a class for keeping the kids busy over the summer? Or is it a class that only those kids who are interested in RPGs will sign up for? What...

Oops! Somehow I missed this thread... So, the most basic thing about Journeys in Adventures in Middle-earth is that they're a game structure to make sure something interesting happens along the way, as part of the adventure. They're not there just to punish characters for traveling (although...

I doubt. I think that Matt has built up a very reliable community... those of us who could pledge immediately did so (for whatever 'immediately' means) and those folks who are budgeting things out will pledge when they can. I'm thinking ~$1.6 million +/- $200,000. But if he gets some sort of...

He's been working in video games for the last few years. But if you go back about a decade-and-a-half then you can find his oeuvre (Star Trek games, Dune, Lord of the Rings Adventure Game, 3rd party publisher titles for 3E, etc.). But his current claim-to-fame isn't as a streamer. It's as...

Dude not only worked for WotC, he worked on third-party things for 3E, and has had a youtube channel for the last couple of years teaching folks how to run 5e. He'll even be on (another) livestream on Sunday with Mearls, Matt Mercer and Adam Koebel. I think he'll be okay. Plus, he's going to...

I think it’s entirely opposite of that. I believe the DM’s Guild is what prevented a second ‘d20 glut’ because it directed all of the ‘wouldn't it be neat if...’ products into a silo that those in the know could check out, all while creating an environment in which it’s difficult to stand out...

They are, but I believe there's more of a delay on YouTube between the live show and being able to watch it on demand. Twitch (with a sub) pretty allows that to happen the moment they're done being live.

As opposed to a fresh set of eyes that bring different products to the line? — • — More seriously, congratulations to Kate!

Right. I was thinking that advantage/disadvantage might be enough to push it into useful territory, but hadn't done the math. You could do X times per rest, but then it gets fiddly again. I don't know how Portent dice work (simply because I try hard not to know anything that isn't in the SRD or...

Well, since it only works once per rest it's much more about the critical moment when the BBEG just rolled a 20 or the tank just failed their saving throw and then the table turns to the Witch and everyone wants her to Twist Fate then.

My recommendation would be to eliminate the bookkeeping entirely. Twist Fate When a creature within 30 feet of you makes an ability check, attack roll or saving throw you may use your reaction to attempt to manipulate that creature's destiny. You roll a d20 and if your roll matches the...

I don’t get the sense that it was greed. Processing fees always suck on microtransactions and I’m getting the sense that it was a “something has to change or our business model falls apart”. I imagine we will see some sort of load-sharing options in the future... either Patreon creators will...

I guess I’m not explaining myself well enough... I don’t want to make the dungeon in VR Tabletop Simulator; I want to build my game room. Then I just want my friends to jack-in and join me at the table. I’m okay with the current sharing technologies but the ability to point at the table or...

A friend of mine, who would tell he’s not computer savvy at all (a small-town doctor in real life), spends time building complete sets of board games in Tabletop Simulator. If VR technology was mature (ie worked like we were promised in the 80s) I could easily see playing that way.

If you'd like a little more direct information, here's the page for The One Ring. And here's the equivalent page for Adventures in Middle-earth. Just as a further note for clarity on the subject of Adventures in Middle-earth, while it does use the core 5e rules for mechanical familiarity (and...

You are in luck.

Most publishers do make PDFs available, usually through OneBookShelf or another medium. PDF publishing is fantastic, because it lowers the cost of correcting errata (not zero-cost, of course, because somebody still had to make those changes and push the new PDF out). And, folks do update print...

One thing that amuses me is that it seems like folks imagine that this error was sitting in perfect isolation, the only thing that needed correction in the entire area. There might well have been a dozen errors on the page but here we are talking about the one that got missed, never having seen...

Considering when Mearls did the round table with Mercer/Colville/Koebel that incorporating the streaming subculture more would be something they were looking at for 6th edition, I think that’s a good point.
