    Dragonlance Dragonlance: Is it possible to run a Dragonlance game using the current core rules and material?

    Regarding playable character races in Dragonlance that do not have options in the 5e, other than the Minotaur, 13th Age has published two products converting player races to 5e rules. Of interest as PC races on Krynn, Centaurs and Minotaurs are included in "Midgard Heroes for 5th Edition"...

    Played AD&D yesterday (using Appendix A for a random dungeon)

    For years, I've looked at the "Good-Evil" axis as being more of an "Altruistic-Selfish" spectrum instead. Most of us move back-&-forth on that line, having both times of better interactions with others and those moments of being a self-serving jerk. Our innate sense of fair play shows up in a...

    Played AD&D yesterday (using Appendix A for a random dungeon)

    Way back when, I took part in a poetry and songwriting workshop. There were a number of simple ways we were taught to help us jump-start our imaginations when they were stuck in idle. One of them was to build up a collection of photos clipped from newspapers and magazines. When in need of...

    D&D 5E (2014) Curse of Strahd death options

    I like this, and celebrate your imagination. One quibble, and I might be mistaken, but I believe Ioun is a female deity.

    D&D 5E (2014) Points of Light setting and current cross-over strategy: Round peg in the square hole.

    So ... a lot of "canon-fodder" in this Thread, but it seems that the battlefield is starting to quiet down. I expect a murder of crows is about due now. ;)

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: What's up next?

    -Serpent (Yuan-Ti) bloodline. Yes, this. On that note, I'm still hoping to see a reptilian take on Shifters. 4e had a way of creating such a PC. -Genie bloodline & Elemental bloodlines. There's a group on EN World who have been working to develop both of these ideas for a 5e version of...

    Unearthed Arcana Unearthed Arcana: What's up next?

    Not even 5 minutes ago I was thinking about a pun on the Lone Ranger - "The Rogue Ranger". I'm just trying to to figure out how to warp the Lone Ranger's parting cry of "Hi-ho, Silver - Awa-a-aaay!" into something along the lines of "Hide Yo' Silverware? - Too La-aate!!!"

    Unearthed Arcana Latest Unearthed Arcana Introduces Rogue & Ranger Archetypes

    ... and termites. And carpenter ants. And crazed gamers with chain-saws who've stumbled into the wrong game, because they heard that "here be zombies".

    Attacking a Net?

    Nope. You got it in one. In the game design, the net was never viewed as a serious threat, but more as a temporary hassle. In my Home Rules, only a bladed weapon used a regular attack, but had to roll for damage. A piercing weapon attack, less effective at cutting the net, had to hit the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Give me your craziest, most GONZO PC concepts!

    I had come across this story while loafing around on the Internet around the time that 5e D&D came out: "Páll Stefánsson makes percussion instruments out of natural materials. Heima shows Stefánsson tirelessly testing stones, checking the tone each makes, so that he can build a stone marimba...

    New Magic Item: Greedy Grimoire

    ... and it just gets better and better! :lol:

    New Magic Item: Greedy Grimoire

    Do both. Most copies would be the simpler versions that wizards may have heard of, and wizards look for a variety of the books as they are likely to contain different sets of spells, perhaps sorted by school tradition. The Greedy Grimoire is a spirit that took possession of one of these simpler...

    New Magic Item: Greedy Grimoire

    What a delightful concept! The drawbacks might make a wizard hesitate, though. Perhaps it could be reworked as some kind of possession or curse. By some game mechanic, perhaps the Greedy Grimoire could take possession of the wizard's own current spellbook? Whatever direction you take with...

    D&D 5E (2014) Points of Light setting and current cross-over strategy: Round peg in the square hole.

    Hi, Remathlis! This is why I liked PoL/Nentir, because it was a grab-bag of story lines, etc., although I do agree with your concern about ignoring the origins of things. Heck, it's the same reason why I like Shadowrun, too - a toy box full of raw materials for my imagination. What I did was...

    D&D 5E (2014) Great reskins, monsters, adventures, items..?

    Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun. Sweet memories for that one! Of course, I was the DM, not a player, so I didn't suffer as much as their PCs did. It was tough, but they won through.

    Complete the Spell [Microsun]

    As Saelorn says, the mix of damages and saves do not match up to D&D conditions. Fire, yes; that makes sense with a Dex save. Failing a save against Thunder damage should be a Con save, with the Deafened condition the failure result. Pushing a targeted creature requires Force damage, so that...

    Lord of the Monsters: New Warlock patron (based on new Ranger playtest)

    Thank you for the clarification on the source for Monstrous Companion - it makes sense now. I like the Monstrous Rage cantrip, and appreciate your reasoning for it. The cantrip looks to be based on the Druid's Shillelagh cantrip, and fits this concept very well. Regarding your concern about...
