    D&D 5E (2014) What would you put in monster manual 2?

    Assuming at some point, they'll make a second monster manual for 5e, what five monsters would you like to see and why? I'm just generally curious to see what people like and why. If you want to include monsters from media or mythology that's not been covered before as well that'd be interesting...

    Perkins AMA Compiled; Haunted One Background Preview

    "We were counting on a Novel to fill the Orcus sub-plot' is a really interesting insight into the process and explains why he was front and centre on advertising, Perkins got all excited about him and he's almost not featured in the APs. Now I feel less like they mislead me or don't know how to...

    Sean's Picks of the Week (0215-0219) - Savage x3, CoD Demons, and Bundle Filling Goodness!

    Yeah, reading that interview hasn't made me want to pick up their new line. Saying that a fantasy element was bad (Did they read changeling? Did they understand it's beauty?) Suggesting we have to buy new books to understand the 'truth' (I made my own truth for those settings years ago, thanks)...

    D&D 5th Edition Character Crucible: Giff Now Available on the Dungeon Master's Guild

    No worries. Weird what counts as officially forgotten realms. To me they're iconically a spelljammer race. Interesting how we can touch the boundries.

    Want To Earn $50 Scanning Classic D&D Books?

    Yeah, I have like a ton of these books but unless they're actually falling apart, then I'm not shredding them. No wonder they don't have the 30th ed celebration, who's gonna kill that?

    [UPDATED] MCG Has A New Kickstarter Coming

    Yeah, I'm hoping this is Strange Adaptable. Given how fun worlds numberless and strange was, I'd buy another book just like it.

    Curse of Strahd Will Have A Map Pullout Poster

    In the Interview about the product, Hickman talks about how the 'Misunderstood soul' is a dangerous trope for society and compares strahd to an abusive lover who cannot be changed. So I think you have little to fear. Also the 'Harlequin Romance' pic is a moving picture that occasionally changes...

    Is TOMB OF HORRORS the Worst Adventure Of All Time?

    Our Dm in a 3.5 game had the 3rd edition version: it added saving throws which helped. We ended up stuck at the tomb due to some mystical fields and had to 'Solve it' to escape. It messed us up good an proper and killed two of the party. This is the bit where I don't get annoyed because we had...

    Campaign Prep From The Other Side Of The Screen And Unusual Campaign Approaches

    That's a really interesting play idea. Are you going to have NPC's that show up in both games?

    CURSE OF STRAHD: Here's The Official Announcement & Cover Image!

    I still don't understand why they've let him do it. At some point somebody in the movie buisiness has to realise that Josh Harnett IS GAMBIT and has lived his entire life in full gambit mode without shame.

    New Gothic D&D Storyline To Be Announced On Monday

    Interesting. Almost exactly two months before expected release. Fits with what perkins said about sustaining interest. So 'Giants do shakespeare' might have been a hoax? Or pushed back? Does look like Ravenloft. I really hope the plot isn't 'Strahd tries to break through to the realms.'

    Adventurers League Adventures Now Available To All

    If you buy every one though, it's likely to be similar in cost to the same as an adventure path (once you add it all up). Which is nice and glossy. I get this, I've run RPGs in a shop environment for 5 years or more. But I can get by running something I have made/paid for years ago. I don't...

    Adventurers League Adventures Now Available To All

    Thing I'm wondering - as someone who runs. Why would I run an adventurer's league adventure as opposed to my own? Before, it was free content. Now, I'd have to either pay or make something up to run in store. I'd just make something up to avoid paying. New players barely have a concept of AL...

    Your most anticipated games of 2016?

    Oops. Yep, Sorry.

    Your most anticipated games of 2016?

    YES. Also The Cosmic Handbook for mutants and Masterminds as a book as well as (probably) their collected Rogues gallery & Atlas of Freedom books.

    Unauthorized And Unlicensed But Sometimes Acceptable RPGs?

    I think the real problem might be that copywrite has become something that has expanded years beyond it's original intent. The amount of good stuff that's come from expired IPs (Sherlock/League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Graphics/Actung Cthulhu) you wonder that if we gave people 25 years and...

    D&D 4E 4E DnD Insider Moving; No Longer Available To New Subscribers

    But they already have them, those people are already subscribed. Would bringing out more up to date tools that replace the need for a book actually add that many more, or are all the peeps interested in the subscription model already paying for it? I'm not actually sure that's an answerable...

    D&D 4E 4E DnD Insider Moving; No Longer Available To New Subscribers

    If you keep paying them for 4e material they don't mind, but they're going to want new players and therefore subscribers to be playing 5th. Given evidence that points to people paying subscriptions for character builder once for a whole group rather than buy multiple handbooks, is there any...
