Now Morrus, when are we going to see the kickstarter for the 5e version of To Slay a Dragon? I never got around to buying it for Pathfinder - since I don't play it, only 4e at the moment. I am guessing it's a rather easy conversion to 5e, but I would rather pay for a version that's already...

I just pre-ordered the Starter Set, PHB, DMG and MM. The prices were really good, 111$ total +30$ in (sloooow) shipping. I also think that the rule set itself is nice and concise, giving room for a lot of options and customizability for running my kind of game. It's actually the first edition I...

I use a lot of premade adventures, and the quality from WotC has in my opinion been very variable. Therefore, I am really happy that Kobold Press have been hired by WotC to do these adventures. Looking at the price of the PHB/DMG/MM, I am starting to wonder if WotC will be focusing on getting...

I supported a kickstarter sometime last year, for a rpg called 6d6*. I finally got managed to get some of my friends together and we tried the Savage Island adventure. It was quite fun to try out a new system. I am quite the DnD fan, but this system really seemed to be different enough, and...

After reading the http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?347752-Ghosts-of-Dragonspear-Castle-what-did-you-think thread I started thinking about how adventures are designed. I am primarily thinking of open-ended adventures where much is left to the players and their decisions. There were...

I pondered a houserule, especially for 4e where going below 0hp isn't very scary since you heal up from 0 hp. Which is a good rule in my opinion, it's really stupid when you heal up somebody and they just go down immidiatly because the 30hp you healed only brought them up to 2 hp. What I want...

I just got started on a campaign taking place in Nentir vale, where I am going to use Reavers of Harkenworld (level 2-4) and Madness at Gardmore Abbey (level 6-8). I am hoping to run a campaign going from around level 1 to 10, with the players getting more and more control, power and...

Spoiler alert: don't read this if you are going to play as a player in Reavers of Harkenworld or Madness at Gardmore abbey: I am planning to run a campaign, using two premade modules as inspiration: Reavers of Harkenworld (level 2-4) and Madness at Gardmore abbey (level 6-8). The setting will...

In the previous version of the forum you could see the xp a post was given and the comments that came with the xp. To me this was a great feature, since it was easy to see if a post was popular - and probably a good read or not. Any chance of getting this feature back?

The Secret World is an MMORPG quite different from any other game in it's genre with some pretty cool investigation and sabotage quests. Here is the launch trailer which gives a good impression about the mood and setting of the game...

I really need some information about a RPG system that would suit my next campaign. I am having this idea for a campaign, but since I want it to be more of a sandbox, I don't think D&D, which I am familiar with (from 1e to 5e) is suited for it because I want relatively flat progression and...

In earlier editions your character started more like a blank sheet. For instance: In 1e a fighter got a keep and followers when he got to level 9; In 3e you could around level 5 and up join an organization (through the prestige classes). In 5e you pick traits that gives followers or membership...

They have given the Fighter two attacks per round from level 6 and lots of the cleric spells are usable together with a regular attack. I wonder if it's a good base mechanic to give extra actions (two attacks or spell and attack) to increase the power. It makes the player take an additional...

I have always wanted to run a DnD campaign where humanoids could be a threat througout the campaign without suddenly having 8th level guards in the bigger cities, 12th level orcs and so on. I would also like magic items to be quite rare, much the same way magic items in 5e are. In other words...

Cleave: does it do [E]+bonuses damage or just [E]? Whirlwind attack explicitly says it doesn't add the bonus damage, while Cleave just says it swaps the [W] dice for the [E] dice on the damage roll. Normally a damage roll includes bonuses. Composed Attack: interesting way of handling...

When I DM-ed AD&D we didn't do combat with miniatures, usually either just a description or a really quick pencil drawing. I ran with facing, you could move to stop people from moving past you and all that fun stuff. It was more of a simulation than the tactical board game 4e is. A typical...

I have been lurking around the threads here for a while and I do wonder what's most important to you for 5e? For me it's the adventures. I want adventures with some epic fights, ways for the players to go completely FUBAR or come up with amazing strategies to overcome problems. I also want some...

I does to me look like there is little direct vertical progression in 5e. You get more spells, abilities and hp, but it doesn't look like you get more to-hit. If this is something they are going to go with, it makes the whole "sandbox" type of gameplay much more viable. One of the worst thing...

The issue I have started using my android phone for reading and thought I might try to use it to read the first module of the Zeitgeist adventure path. It didn't exactly work out well... My android phone is limited to 800x480 resolution on a 3.7" dispaly, so text-reflow is necessary. This could...

I am thinking about starting a casual game that can be done on weekdays and I am therefore looking for some casual 4e modules. I want something that is easy to prepare for and relatively combat heavy. Having some interesting and challenging combats is a big plus in my book. (No encounters with...
