    Rodney Thompson Looks Behind The Screen

    Unless my memory deceives me. Ran into her every time I turned around at GenCon a couple years back. Began to fear she thought my girlfriend and I were stalking her!

    Rodney Thompson Looks Behind The Screen

    Was that Trin Miller in the video? Nice to see a Gamers alumni in other things.

    D&D 5E Psionic Attacks

    Mind Flayers also use INT saves. It seems to be the go-to save of choice for psionic attacks.

    D&D 5E Totally bragging

    Did you kick them in the shins?

    D&D 5E WotC 5E Release Schedule - What's Next?

    That in itself is a pretty good "market indicator."

    D&D 5E Totally bragging

    Someone once told me not to worry, the session was "alright."

    D&D 5E One Campaign To Rule Them All

    You'll notice that both are included above, so... yes?

    D&D 5E One Campaign To Rule Them All

    I like the idea as a sort of "capstone" game after all the settings are published and have a chance to shine in their own rights. Something like this at the end of the 2E era would have been a lot of fun. Not that it wouldn't be fun now, I would just prefer to see in-depth setting information...

    D&D 5E Riddle Me This

    I think riddles and puzzles are fine so long as they serve to gate SIDE CONTENT, if the distinction makes sense (and I know there's no such thing for some styles of ultra-sandbox play). It's whenever the players main goals are stalled by them that they become a problem, in my experience.

    D&D 5E Unarmed Strike. One damage plus strength?

    The extra damage? Doesn't it grant improvised weapon proficiency as well, or am I remembering incorrectly?

    D&D 5E I Am One of the Few Who Plays D&D in Japan

    I believe Double Cross is an import as well.

    Lone Wolf Prepping to bring D&D 5th Edition to HEROLAB!

    Interesting... While I like Hero Lab, Lone Wolf's a-la cart pricing can get expensive quickly. Still, positive news.

    D&D 5E On Dungeon Design

    I tend to use a variant of option 1. I'll describe twisting corridors and such, but in much the same way I describe overland travel. I don't "zoom in" on the action until they get somewhere interesting. It has its drawbacks, of course. The players know that if I zoom in on an unremarkable...

    D&D 5E Stats, and how do you generate them

    Gotcha. I missed that bit (obviously).

    D&D 5E Stats, and how do you generate them

    I suspect I'm misunderstanding something, but wouldn't the range of ability scores from that be 9 to 19?

    D&D 3E/3.5 The DMG: A CRITICAL HIT at 93.5%!

    This thread is actually making me want to go post positive reviews of things out of spite. I won't of course, but the need to lash out with five stars is strong.

    D&D 5E Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    There are several in the DMG. The Oathbow springs to mind.

    D&D 5E Nonmagical arrows and magic bows

    There are some very complicated solutions in this thread to something I don't perceive to be a problem. Following the rules as writt--- as I'm interpreting them: Yes they stack. Magical arrows are consumed when fired and are found singly, much like potions. Magical weapons OR magical...

    D&D 5E Running Eberron in 5E

    I've given it a few minutes of thought, and I think this is how I would do an artificer (so far)... Infusions are their "spell list" -- though Invocations would probably be a better analogy. These are the things the artificer knows how to do. Examples might be granting darkvision to a helm or...

    WotC's Chris Perkins Talks Realms & Sundering

    Admittedly lame. But they've already gone down that route to a greater or lesser extent, haven't they? My personal preference would be a reboot of the whole setting, but that seems unlikely given Perkins' responses to the interview.
