I think you think his house rules are crazy. And no doubt there are plenty of others that may as well, even if you only consider all those coming from previous WotC editions of the game. Most players who started with those editions feel there needs to be a detailed rule on everything down to...

I know exactly what you mean. I was the same. Other than some Gamma World and Shadowrun back when I was in college, and a little Star Wars (d6 version) since, I pretty much stuck with D&D. After leaving 1st and 2nd editions of AD&D, we spent 10 years playing 3x and PF. Even after some...

After trying 4e, my groups and I went back to 2eAD&D for awhile, then decided to try some of the clones out there like OSRIC, For Gold & Glory, Labyrinth Lord, Swords and Wizardry, etc. Then we tried some systems with newer mechanics, but with the old school feel, such as the Castles and...

lol, that's what I thought. When the straw men run out, there are no more words to twist, or to "put into someone's mouth", the troll turns to his go to, sarcasm, and confirms the fact. Looks like it's time to whip out the can of Troll-be-gone and give it a spray. Welcome to "Ye Ole Ignore"...

Build as many straw men from my post as you like. None of what you said changes or makes irrelevant anything I said. And anyone who takes a moment to comprehend my post, and that isn't trolling can figure that out. The Tolkien style and feel they pertain to fantasy (most people understand...

Ah, the SRD. I have to admit, that's one thing I really liked about Pathfinder, though I don't play it any more. I used to collect all the books too, but 3e and 4e broke me on that practice. Now I will only order books online after I've visited my local hobby store a few times and decide I...

Troll all you like. I'm pretty sure most everyone here that take longer than a minute to comprehend what I posted can figure out that I'm talking about a particular style and feel when it comes to fantasy. As Tokien's books influenced fantasy at our table, it also influenced Gygax. I made it...

The only comments of my post directed purely at Eberron were the ones about my not caring for the lore of the setting and hating the Warforged race. The rest was explaining that I don't generally like things that put me in mind of the modern or futuristic in my "D&D" game. I used firearms and...

Meet me then. And if you were here, I'd introduce you to all my friends who play with me. I'd have to agree with Perigorn, in that it was my least favorite setting. I'm just not a fan of the lore at all, and I absolutely hate idea of the Warforged race. Golems are one thing. They've been...

As you said, they may not all be super rare, but it was indeed a rare haul. I'd visit my local hobby store more often if I thought there was even a decent chance at a find like that. Anyway, congratulations on that incredible find.

Well, my experience with 5e D&D beyond the forums comes from participation in the Next playtest, and from a brief flip through the pages of the 5e PHB at my local hobby store roughly five days after the release to select stores. Due to the, as you put it, "encouter usually takes all night,"...

This doesn't change anything. The fault lies at the table. It's one thing for the players to experience a string of bad luck, or barely survive a bloody battle, and decide to retreat to a "safe" place for a rest. It happens from time to time. But there's a difference in doing that, and just...

Yeah, really. Sounds like the PHB was obviously rushed. Didn't it come out a week before expected? Possibly to avoid a simultaneous release with a Pathfinder book? I could be wrong on this, but it seems like I read this somewhere, possibly on this forum. <shrug> One thing that seems...

You're assuming his players exploit, and he (as a DM) allows it. If the 15mwd is an issue in a game, it's an issue because the gaming group is made up of players who exploit, and a DM who allows it. If that's the preferred play style of that group and they have fun with it, so be it. The game...

Hmmm. The art looks like it'd be more at home in a comic book than a RPG sourcebook. But it does look better by leaps and bounds than the art of the past couple of editions that used those lame arsed eyebrow horns that looked so silly. Proper horns, definitely a step in the right direction.

Didn't actually buy it. But the one I looked through at my local hobby store had several pages with faded ink, especially throughout the spell descriptions. There were about 5 others left on the shelf, but those I looked at had damaged exteriors in the form of scratches on the covers. In the...

It seems pretty obvious that you have to TAKE an attack action to gain the bonus action. Once the action is taken, the bonus action can be taken before or after any extra attacks since an attack action has been taken. But it really doesn't matter the way rules are written (no matter how...

There is a floor, Monty. Another One Class to rule them all.

If 5e was anything like it's playtest, there's WAY too much healing. A problem that was introduced back in 4e and carried over to the playtest. Way too much hand-holding in D&D these days. Hell, it was practically impossible to die in 4e short of a series of very unlucky rolls at just the...
