    Howdy- Just got done putting together the maps for Castle Naerytar from HotDQ and now the I think my game will go faster instead of drawing all that stuff out on a mat.

    Howdy- Just curious to see who prefers which version on their table.

Anyway, Has 5E become your personal fav version of D&D or are you still holding out with...

    SGT Scott's Hoard of the Dragon Queen Campaign AAR

    Hi- so I recently decided a about four months ago to give 5E a go. I had picked up the Starter Kit from WotC and from there spent two months gathering up a group of players (People that I could tolerate and would not annoy me). The Starter Kit was a nice intro into 5E but I did not play...

    D&D 5E Monster Manual and Players Hand Book Power Levels

    Howdy- Ok maybe I might be missing something here but looking over the MM monsters, they seem awfully weak compared to what they have to face vs the classes of the PHB. For example, in ver 3.5 the gibbering Mouther had an AC of 19, in 5E its AC is now 9. An Ancient Blue Dragon in 3.5 has an AC...

    D&D 5E How do you Handle P.C's trying to design Traps in 5E?

    Ok, got a rogue in the group, so he decides to design a trap in conjunction with the rest of the PC's laying in ambush. In 3.5 you had Disable Devise which you can conceivably use as a possible skill base to build a trap at the DM's discretion of course. In 5E it is not as cut and dry, the DM...

    D&D 5E Good art and Really bad art in the 5e PHB

    Hi ya- A couple of my players and I really liked some of the art in 5e, the Bar room fight page was very cool looking, the Full page art for Part one was also very cool, heck I kinda wish they used that artwork for the cover of the PHB because the PHB cover art sucked (what the hell is that on...

    D&D 5E My thoughts on 5E

    Hi- Picked up the book today from dice dojo and looked it over, even attempted to create a paladin character but gave up after a bit due to the amount of moving parts involved. With 3.5 everything was right there, in 5E it seems class advancement table is in another chapter altogether. Skill...

    D&D 5E Number of Attacks in 5E

    Howdy- I know somewhere around here this has probably been addressed but I have no idea how to find such a thread, so apologies to the entrenched grognards around here for asking this question right off. Looking in the DnD basic rules (WoTC download) it seems every body only gets one attack...

    D&D 5E Rep & Mounts in D&D

    Hi- A few things I might add if I was to run a D&D 5E campaign might be reputation and the possibility for players to get exotic mounts. Has anyone attempted this before in D&D? Did it work? For me, the reasoning behind adding such variants is that perhaps the players will then have an...

    Castle & Crusades thoughts?

    Hi ya- Was checking out other RPG's and came across Troll Lord Games Castle & Crusades products. I kinda liked what I saw, very much akin to old AD&D 1E with some d20 mechanics added in. I might buy the books but I would also like to know if anybody has played this product and does the game...
