    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks About... Everything! Upcoming Storylines, Products, Staffing, Other World

    If WotC released full pdf conversions of classic, TSR-era, adventures I'd throw my money at them (especially if they offered print-on-demand versions with detached covers). By full conversions I mean that the classic adventures would have 5th edition creatures, treasure, and traps/challenges in...

    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks About... Everything! Upcoming Storylines, Products, Staffing, Other World

    Yeah... pretty much. As much as I love 5th edition I hate that WotC doesn't offer two products that I'd actually use: campaign settings and short adventures. Those products are what fueled my interest in D&D, particularly boxed set campaign worlds with fold-out maps and just enough background...

    D&D 5E (2014) Odd-numbered ability scores

    I like that a lot. Nice and simple... but effective.

    What feats are "missing"?

    Hmmm... I guess that's why cantrips weren't included in the original feat. Other than that, you must expend spell slots and the arrows lose their enchantment at the end of your next long rest.

    What feats are "missing"?

    Slings DEFINITELY need some love! My thinking in posting the slightly modified feat from the playtest was that the feat let players emulate the Arcane Archer prestige class. Also, feats seem pretty specific about applying to certain weapons and not others (i.e. Crossbow Expert).

    What feats are "missing"?

    I've done a slightly tweaked version of Arcane Archer that allows for cantrip-imbued arrows. ARCANE ARCHER Prerequisite: The ability to cast at least one spell, proficiency with the long bow or short bow. As an action, you can imbue a spell into an arrow you are holding. You cast the spell as...

    Help Inspire Children In Uganda With RPGs

    Except that, in this instance, RPGs would serve as a tool to educate children in a way that they find enjoyable and rewarding... while giving them the tools to do so. What harm would come out of this Atomic Pope?

    The Half-Ogre

    HALF-OGRE When an ogre mates with a human, hobgoblin, bugbear, or ore, the result is always a half-ogre. (Ogres don't mate with dwarves, halflings, or elves. They eat them.) MONSTROUS HERITAGE Human mothers rarely survive the birth of a half-ogre offspring. The half-ogre offspring of an ogre...

    Homebrew Feats in need of evaluation

    Arcane Archer Prerequisite: The ability to cast at least one spell of 1st level or higher, proficiency with the long bow or short bow As an action, you can imbue a spell of 1st level or higher into an arrow you are holding. You cast the spell as normal, but the spell effect does not occur...

    Greyhawk website

    Actually it has 5th edition rules for adding new subraces (grey elves, valley elves, wild elves, deep gnomes, and tallfellow halfings) and different take on surface gnomes for 5th edition D&D. It also gives 5th edition domains for Greyhawk and demihuman deities. Other than that it doesn't need...

    Greyhawk website

    It's on the page... right in the Greyhawk Rules section. The file is The Player's Guide to Greyhawk.

    Greyhawk website

    Since there is no official Greyhawk support coming from WotC, I've created a site that provides info for those looking to run a game in this classic setting. If you have ideas for items to add to the site, please let me know. It would be great to spread the love for good ol'Greyhawk! Welcome...

    D&D 5E (2014) Did The Finished 5th Edition Change Anyone's Mind?

    The playtest rules left me underwhelmed and I feared that 5th edition would fail to inspire me. Thankfully that hasn't been the case. That said, I do wish there were more background options, class archetypes, cleric domains, and feats to choose from... which is ironic because I grew to hate...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tell me about your Homebrew 5E campaign setting

    I've got a few 5th edition settings that I've tooled around with. My homebrew world is Gaile... which is a fairly standard fantasy world, except that humans are the dominant race to the point that nonhuman characters are relatively rare. Also there is tension between those who wield and study...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rogues Gallery for 5e, 4e

    Sounds like a great idea. As a semi-lazy DM it would be great to have stat-blocks for NPCs of various classes and levels. In fact I'd pay for a book that offered such.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hit Point Recovery Too Generous

    Here's a short and sweet houserule that I may use in my game to add a little granularity to wounds: Wound Levels It doesn't address all of the issues tied to long rests restoring all lost hit points but allows for lingering wounds. It also makes magical healing a valued asset.
