It depends on the edition and my pocket. Moving to a new edition is mostly expensive due to the currency exchange rate in my country, so I tend to test the waters before making a heavy investment on it (since I'm the DM 99% of the time, I can't settle for just the PHB). The only time I didn't...

I had the exact same experience. It started out great but from 3.5 it started to be all work and no fun running the game.

It looks alright to me, it's rather modern-looking. Gonna miss the old logo, though.

Thanks for the input, folks! It helped me a lot. :)

Hi all, I'm about to introduce a new group of gamers to DnD, and we've decided to vote on which campaign setting to use. I'm not that familiar with the lore and details about the settings so I come to you for help: what are, in your opinion, the thing that makes each one of the DnD settings...

AFAIK, the Genasi and the spells are indeed included. The rest of the races are not.

I have no issues whatsoever in a DM inviting other players, as long as everyone gets equal treatment and he doesn't play favorites. Regarding two Wizards in the party, I've ran Lost Mines of Phandelver with such a party (the five pregens plus a human wizards) and even though they were both...

Nice! I wonder if some of the new player options will be eventually printed in some other sourcebook (didn't Goliaths first appear in Dark Sun?)

Ah, the Internet! 'Tis the only place where nerdrage is more important than real life :D

I've ran into the "one card missing" issue with AEG in the past and, as the PR person from GF9 says, it's impossible to ship it for free to everyone in the world that may have bought the arcane sets. A much better approach would be including the missing cards for free in a forthcoming product as...

Is there a way to contact GF9 directly without going through Flames of War customer service? IME, their answers are pure nonsense most of the time.

It just occurred to me that the release of Ed's project at GenCon may coincide with a new Forgotten Realms campaign setting for 5e. Think about it: he's building the hype going over the history of the setting, and there's certainly information on the Candlekeep forum about updated material (such...

I believe what we'll be seeing is a history of Ed's worldbuilding in the Realms, not an in-universe one. For instance, he may cite source of inspiration and his thought processes when creating -say- Cormyr and its different institutions.

Mystra softcore fictions incoming! :D (Just kidding- love ya, Ed!)

I play either once per week or once every other week, for about 4 hours. Tight schedule and all that.

I'm close to 30, but I've been DMing 1 out of 100 games I've been to since I was 16 (IME this is true for almost every DM I've known)

I'd go with the Healing Surges optional rule in the DMG, plus having someone take the Healer feat. That will allow for some combat healing.

Baseless guess: Paizo will produce the next big splatbook for D&D 5e.

Recently I had to come up with a house rule on the fly for this: when you want to clear a distance longer than your ability score in a jump, you make an Athletics check at DC 10 and clear an extra foot for each number over the check's difficulty.
