    D&D 5E (2014) Storm King's Thunder [OOC]

    Nice juxtaposition. Not quite sure why, but this is making me laugh every time I read it.

    13th Age: 4.75? Worth a play?

    One deficit that may have been resolved recently: A lack of good mounted combat rules. There's a whole lot of walking going on. If rules for this have come out recently, my PC wants to know. He's been saving up to buy a saddle.

    13th Age: 4.75? Worth a play?

    Definitely worth playing 13th Age. It's my favorite game system at this time, even given my delight in 5e. Our GM brought our game to the Midgard/Southlands setting for 13th Age, and then tweaked the campaign structure by setting milestones by season: Spring, Summer, and Autumn. Each game...

    D&D 4E Genasi 4e to 5e update

    ... one more note. In my campaign world, genasi and humans, like elves and humans, have been known to make babies together. However, such offspring are not like half-elves: they profoundly favor one parental race in attributes, rather than displaying any kind of blending. Like sorcerous...

    D&D 4E Genasi 4e to 5e update

    A note on age: The official 5e version provides this: Age. Genasi mature at about the same rate as humans and reach adulthood in their late teens. They live longer than humans do, up to 120 years. This is culled from Remathlis's version: Age. Genasi have an average life span comparable to...

    D&D 4E Genasi 4e to 5e update

    So, you're a member of the genasi-loving club, too, eh? Like you, Remathlis (here on ENWorld) adapted the five basic 4e genasi options to 5e because he couldn't wait for official versions to come out (this was back when the 5e PHB had just been released). I liked those, and added them to my...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hex-Skald

    There was another possibility on that typo that occurred to me later: maybe it was in reference to "Viking indecent," which would perhaps better fit your bad boy's reputation there - a heavy metal boat-rocker, if there ever was one. Your right about the skull. I think it might prove deficient...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hex-Skald

    Yes, it looks good. Good enough that my only quibble is editorial on a misspelling I sometimes make myself: s/b Viking in "descent", not "decent". Btw, I'm stealing this character.

    Draft Magic Item: Guardian Grimoire

    First, I really like your ideas here. However, it might be a good idea to build some limitations into the Guardian Grimoire. Given the number of pages required per spell by respective spell level, the size of such a spell-book might become prohibitive, especially with the addition of all the...

    D&D Conversion Races

    Being firmly convinced that one can never have too many subraces to choose from, I just wanted you to know I'm still including your versions as subrace choices for my players, along with the versions produced by others here on ENWorld and in published official products. For your goliath, I've...

    D&D 5E (2014) Firbolg Scout or Ranger, 7'9" tall... (Graphic)

    Ogier! As a fan of Robert E. Jordan's Wheel of Time series, and a once-upon-a-time GM for the 3.0 WoT RPG, you just warmed the cockles of my gnarly heart with this picture!

    Updated Warforged Homebrew

    I had downloaded this earlier when it was still on the DMs Guild site. I like what transcendantviewer has down with this, and recommend it to anyone who is not satisfied with the spare warforged that is all that WotC has put forward so far. Mind you, I really like warforged, and appreciate...

    New Magic Item: Greedy Grimoire

    What a wonderful transformation. I think Gygax himself would be proud of you for this adventure idea.

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    User_Undefined; A two-fer! And both well-told. Your warlock's story is the sort to keep a nightmare well-fed.

    You had me at Primeval Thule. Kudos on the origin tale!

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    I thoroughly enjoyed this little tale - especially the linguistic note on the meaning of Leth'ael's name. The ties to the Hebrew language (for example, the name Ariel meaning "Lion of God") brought Tolkien to mind, of all things. Not bad, if you managed that!

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    This one came about by way of the recent Unearthed Arcana piece on the Artificer class; from threads on EN World by QuietBrowser's and transcendantviewer's individual takes on the Warforged race; from a "History of the Nentir Vale" document compiled by an unnamed fan of the game (the document...

    D&D 5E (2014) Character Backstories: Care to share?

    Some players provide just a line or two to cover their character's backstory, but I've rarely been satisfied with that. I might settle for a mere couple of paragraphs, but I often find myself writing something longer; once, I ended up writing a short story entirely about the PC's mother! [I...
