That's intersting given our discussion here of using a fighter in the basic game to stand in for ranger. That's what they did in the starter set - making pregens that could made from the basic rules alone. Of note, the miniatures released to coincide with the debut of 5e correspond to the...

The outlander background may work for this.

Where are you guys seeing the Ranger presented as part of the basic group? I think it would be great if the Ranger gets added to basic. I would hope that the build they include is the Hunter one for simplicty's sake. The Ranger fills a pretty common fantasy archetype. You can approximate it...

I was very amused by the sketches at the end. Especially the adventurer poking at a flumph with a 10-foot pole

Duergar as well.

Seriously... Anyone heard anything about the spell decks from Gale Force Nine? My preoer at Miniature Market still says "pending".

Ghosts of Dragonspear is easily converted. The first chapter works as a stand alone for 1st level characters. Just change the McGuffin to something else.

Vottr [to Eddicus]: "Much obliged!"

That's prestige classes as they came to be, but IIRC as presented in the 3e DMG that's not how they were intended. They are supposed to also involve roleplaying elements - finding a trainer or guild of some sort. But for whatever reason, like so much else in 3e, it got used as a source for...

D'oh! You totally ninja'd me.

"Sneaky @&$%# gobbers!" Vottr sneers and spits on the corpse of the one at his feet. "Good shot, Garret! Keep 'em comin'!" he says then moves up to the thicket and readies himself to hurl his axe the first goblin that emerges. OOC: move then ready to take reaction when the goblins pop up...

Finally got my hands on the Monster Manual today I must say, I am very impressed. However, there is one thing missing: TREASURE I imagine this will be in the DMG, but in the meantime, there really do not appear to be any guidelines on how to dole out treasure. The PHB lacks any rules for...

The hardest part to me seems dialing back the magic, or at least the magic using classes. Pulp S&S typically doesn't differentiate sorcerers, witches, wizards, or, priests. A priest who casts spells is just a sorcerer who serves a god. Or there is a simple differentiation between black magic...

OOC: Are they within range for a thrown handaxe?

Ravenloft is overdue for some love. But if they do it, I hope they keep it true to the original spirit and go Gothic, not Goth.

This doe seem like a DM issue. I think it's incumbent on a DM to know what type of items each PC in the group needs to acquire and provide opportunities for it to happen. I am also avoiding reading the book because I am set to play through as a character, but I would echo this with the...

"A Dungeon Master is never forgetful, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he overgenerous. He includes in the treasure precisely what he intends to."

Vottr looks over his shoulder at Caelynn and switches briefly to the dwarvish tongue: "<Gundren's horse, full o' arrows. Be ready for trouble.>"* *<translated from dwarvish>

Here's a crack at dragonborn that pays a bit of homage to the 4e origin of being transported from Aiber in an event that also destroyed Unther and Mulhorand (which also gets rid of the Egyptian and Babylonian pantheons, leaving only the Faerunian Powers). DRAGONBORN AT...

I so wanted to title this "Crisis on Infinite Oerths" but alas my interest lies in the Realms, not Greyhawk. Anyhoo... Feeling a bit nostalgic I returned to the Cyclopedia of the Realms from the original 1e gray box looking for inspiration. I had forgotten how great that original presentation...
