There's some spam posts in General about something called votofel cream or something like that. I reported one of them but there seem to be at least three.

What are "CoreRPG", "MoreCore" (I assume those two are related?), and "AD"?

Avellone's involvement is an excellent sign. I wonder if they'll even try to implement the hexcrawling aspect, or for that matter the rulership side. Any links to anything that addresses that?

Okay, found the rule. So if passive checks are normally "taking 10", on a passive check with disadvantage you're "taking 5" and with advantage, "taking 15". Kind of interesting actually. I withdraw that part of what I said, though the last paragraph is still true regardless.

I'm certain this one is wrong as stated. What would "disadvantage on passive Perception" even mean? Disadvantage is a specific way of using dice, and passive checks do not involve dice rolling. If you're rolling dice, it's not a passive check. Actually, that would make a good addition to your...

Okay, according to that thread it's not meant for PCs, but for NPCs going up against PCs much higher level than themselves. That's the piece I was missing and I do indeed see how there might be some point to that now. I still think I'll either omit this one or modify it in some way, but at least...

I'm converting over the 3.5 WotBS feats for my (Pathfinder) players, and I just got to Volley Shot and can't work out what possible point there is in its existence. First of all, the flavour text and rules description make no sense together. The flavour text says it lets you make an area...

In other words, the rules are silent on how you choose your character's gender. The correct conclusion to draw from this is that they mean the obvious common-sensical thing, i.e. that you get to choose your character's gender, not that they mean something completely bizarre that you made up...

Do you mean Mists of Akuma?

The Inkarnate link literally tries to put "http://inkarnate is in beta sign up/" into your address bar (only with the spaces replaced by %20s).

There's an actual published TSR adventure that throws 75 gibberlings at you at one point...

...huh. For a few hours this afternoon, none of them worked, but they seem fine now. Looking forward to reading the adventure now that I can!

Just FYI, the link that's supposed to download the free adventure "Into the Feywild" from the EN5ider Patreon page doesn't currently work. (Perhaps a side-effect of the recent database troubles?) It presently just goes to a completely blank greenish-grey page. I tried this in both Vivaldi and...

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1025.html Well, it gave me feelz, and unlike many here I can't really say I knew Wrecan in any way worth speaking of. Generally liked his stuff, though.

Most "big bads" in most RPGs, with Pathfinder being worse than average in this respect, need a LOT of beefing up. The biggest problem is that the action economy works against them; they generally only get to do one action to the opposition's four to six. Anything that stuns them for even a...

As long as the seas contrast with the land in some way, I'm fine. I've seen maps where there was more contrast between plains and other landforms like forests and mountains than there was between ocean and land. It looked like half the cities were underwater. That's a MUCH worse design fail than...

I haven't heard anything about that specifically and would not be surprised for them to disappear at some point, but I see no reason to assume their fate is specifically tied to that of the forums.

A couple things in 5th Edition I strongly suspect my current GM is ruling incorrectly, however, it's also possible that I'm just making assumptions based on how things worked in prior editions that might not be valid any longer in 5E. 1. If a monster has innate spellcasting (example: a drider...

And I, for one, greatly prefer it this way. Everyone is talking like the WotC forums are totally unmoderated, but that's not entirely true. When the mods do step in, it's in a very heavy-handed manner. Posts or even entire threads simply vanish with only the vaguest of explanations (usually...

Hi! Longtime fan, we actually met back at GenCon 2000 and discussed the DMG a bit, but you probably don't remember. Dave Noonan heckled my platypus at the psionics seminar, that would probably be the most memorable thing involving me. 1. I have a highly ambitious RPG most of the way to being...
