And I thought I was alone there...TOEE is really the best and truest incarnation of the (back then) D&D rules that has ever been done, it's really a pity the story was so...not compelling. Even worse that it was not used for any other game (kudos to the Circle of Eight for all their good work on...

My 2 cents: since 2e days I have a magic and very not numerical rule which nearly always works. Once I prepare an encounter which I think it's deadly, either by gut feeling or by CR setting rules, I always throw in a couple further level appropriate enemies. On paper, pcs should die,in the...

A FR movie would be more than fine as long as it's not a movie about a single fated hero saving the world, which in FR is sadly more probable than DL or most other settings due to the strong presence of Elminster, Drizz't and many other powerhouses. Drizz't is probably the more popular D&D...

To me, a good D&D movie means a party of heroes needs to be centerstage. Dragonlance novels, the first ones or the Twins saga, would fit nicely and still be "generic" enough not to be necessarily branded as a specific D&D setting to the large public. The first Drizz't novels weren't bad, but...

The Dirty One! Hi Monte and thanks especially for Numenera and A Hero's Tale (wish there were more of such high quality drag-n-drop scenarios), here a question I am really curious about,if you can answer it: what are the main things you would have done differently in 5e? It seems to be doing...

Aaaand possibly with psionics too...(cross posted from Psionics flavor thread): If this tweet means what we all know it probably means, we'll know soon, i'd bet in September, what Psionics will be like... http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/06/30/psionic-next/ Sorry if it has been posted already...

Well, for English speaking people surely isn't :)

When I was a child, I started playing D&D in Italian (red box). It was a magical game, better than the other few RPGs in the market. But, most importantly, it was in a box, which in my child mind meant it was a game and not “only” a book. I soon started wanting more, more than was available in...

It's very good to see the community enjoys this, your card look gorgeous! Our playtest of the system goes on and we really like the speed and freshness of the system :)

Sorry for the derailing, but...if you do not like the sing-songy thing you could have a try a different flavor reskin with no mechanical changes which I think is pretty good: the Pillars of Eternity videogame "Chanters" concept which I vastly prefer to the vanilla D&D one. Basically Chanters...

They were smart enough not to give a precise day of the month :) Unless I missed out some tweet, of course.

You're more than welcome! Furthermore it's Morrus's home, not mine :) For the cards colors you have a point if you have a large group spread around a big table, yes, colors will be far easier, true. My cards are very intricated and It would not be easy to see at a glance who's in the image...

I am always baffled by the new ideas I still get from other people games after years of gaming...the "one color dice" per character is brilliant! Even if I must say that we usually roll once at a time, so it's not so needed to distinguish results, but surely is useful for the "where's my lucky...

Minimal x many times per night :) But yes, i suppose that if you're good it can go really fast, you're right.

These look gorgeous!

Mhm not sure...it seems a big advantage, but I may be wrong as I'm not strong on statistics. But, it will surely add a delay in deck set up timing, which you need to do every round. Not so big if you set aside those chars, but it rubs me in the wrong way...if you try let us know how it works!

If you ask me, I agree with you: keep it simple and fast. I would do it like this, well, actually I am doing it like this: - one card per PC; - one card per "kind of monster" (Big Baddie, Undead, Minion...the more the better as long as it's easy for you to sort) - one single...

The idea to use a custom deck inserting multiple copies of the same character who gets special initiative bonuses is brilliant! It seems less cumbersome than adding different pics for the same PC. I’m still not convinced that there will be a measure of accuracy as opposed to D20 rolls: probably...

In my opinion, while these solutions surely can work, they are more trouble than it's worth. Consider this: you are not going to match the relevance of the same bonus in standard initiative anyway. I mean, each +1 on a D20 roll is a +5% on the total. If you give one card for a 16 DEX character...
