    You have critically failed on your intelligence check here, Yaarel. Please refer to your nearest dictionary or encyclopedia so you can learn the definition of sexual assault. Just as other crimes have degrees of severity (from petty theft to grand theft, for instance), so too does sexual assault...

    "Dust" and "Midway" - Codenames for Upcoming D&D Hardcovers

    In answer to your first line - yes, I believe the only support you'll see for Ravenloft in the foreseeable future is via PDF, and almost certainly all of that from the DMs Guild. Vintage materials and new 3PP writers will be there to fill the void as best they can. As for the rest - you have...

    "Dust" and "Midway" - Codenames for Upcoming D&D Hardcovers

    Would that be Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, or Seven? :cool:

    WotC's Irwin, Tanji, and Crawford on Tales from the Yawning Portal's Art Direction

    There are no swirls or flourishes in Mike Schley's maps, they are direct translations of the terrain, with light-colour-saturation (almost watercolour appearance) which aren't all that hard on ink or toner. I think you are confusing his with Blando's opposite-of-bland style, which is full of...

    WotC's Irwin, Tanji, and Crawford on Tales from the Yawning Portal's Art Direction

    No, there are no black-and-white maps anywhere in 5E. But I’m fairly certain the maps are nearly or identical to the originals, which you could pull those pretty easily, from your old books or even online.

    Yawning Portal's Disclaimer; Plus New Monsters

    The entry says that the Giant Crayfish was found in both Hidden Shrine and White Plume Mountain…don't know whether a BECMI module had one as well.

    Dragon+ Issue 11

    I found it on Mike's site, here: http://prints.mikeschley.com/p530730153/h268fd5c4#h268fd5c4 I'm afraid that it's from 4E...

    Have You played In An Official D&D Adventurer's League Event?

    For me, finding D&D organized play - right before 5E & AL launched - was a lifesaver. I'd spent a year and a half trying to find a playgroup, and all I could get was the occasional PFS game when a con or gameday came up. The summer of 2014 came, and I was invited into a home game of Pathfinder...

    RPG Creator Relief Fund Entering 2017

    Wow, not a lot of sympathy here. I guess that's why the US still hasn't gone for socialized medicine, leaving millions without the basic coverage we Canadians take for granted. I, for one, am sorry to see that. I lend support to those that I can, and appreciate that some people are taking a leap...

    The End of a D&D Campaign Was the Beginning of Doom

    Wow, how did I not see how the cacodemon was pulled so directly from that Manual of the Planes before? I may not own the book, but the number of hours I've played Doom should have stuck with me. I knew beholders had to be the inspiration, but great to learn more about the process of inspiration...

    Pre-Order Two Limited Edition CURSE OF STRAHD Miniatures

    IMHO the prepainted version of Esmerelda looks better than this (they finally have started to look decent with this latest release), and I already have Van Richten from DDM. I am actually relieved I won't be tempted to add to my piles of unpainted minis this time around...

    What Will Become of the FLGS?

    3D printing, while it doesn't take much in materials, takes an _awful_ lot of time. That's why - at least for the short term - it's worthwhile doing at home, but not at a store. It would take a few days running non-stop to print out your average-sized dungeon, so not a moneymaker for a store.

    Happy Birthday To EN5IDER Magazine! 65 5th Edition Articles & Going Strong!

    I've been meaning to subscribe to this since the very beginning, and have finally taken the time to figure out how to do it with PayPal. So count me in as #1,006! A drop in the bucket, but more to come from me in future... Frankly, a far better investment than gambling on the DM's Guild.

    From Sketch To Print: Comparing Perkins & Schley's Maps For CURSE OF STRAHD

    Each of the maps shown here has the scale - square to 5' - written on it; and as I recall, that's been the same for most other maps I've seen. But I do know that with some of the larger scope maps, in the past, they did have each square as 10 feet. Do you have the book in hand? Unfortunately, I...

    Pathfinder Comics At The Humble Bundle With Exclusive Battle Maps

    BTW, there is exactly one week left on this deal, and they've topped it up so that all but the latest issue of the current series is up (Hollow Mountain #4 is the only one missing). Even if you have no interest in Pathfinder, Golarion, or comics, it's still worthwhile for the 24 battlemaps (8"...

    Pathfinder Comics At The Humble Bundle With Exclusive Battle Maps

    I agree, Jay, I wasn't a fan of the first series' artwork - it made the heroes look too much like the monsters for my tastes. I did find that the artwork improved with the change of artist. I have the first two, plus the Goblins! series all in hardcopy. The maps were great, useful both in the...

    Pathfinder Comics At The Humble Bundle With Exclusive Battle Maps

    Glad you posted about this! I emailed Morrus as soon as I saw it, but couldn't find/remember how to post it properly myself. Both bundles are incredible deals, and an incredibly smart response/challenge to WotC and the popularity of 5th Edition. They did do a D&D Comics Humble Bundle a while...
