    PATHFINDER UNCHAINED at GAMA?

    Of course there's "no hint" that such a thing exists. Pathfinder was born from an edition change and people chose Pathfinder because they *didn't* want to change editions. If Paizo announced Pathfinder 2.0, the Pathfinder fans would be up in arms, or divided at least. I look at all the Paizo...

    Looking for someone to share DM/GM duties with [SE Brisbane Australia]

    My wife and I are moving to the South Eastern suburbs of Brisbane in a month or so, and we'll be looking for people to play with on a regular basis, long term. The idea will be that I share DM duties with another person, that way I get to be a player off and on, probably on a week on, week off...

    The DUNGEON MASTER'S GUIDE is out today!

    I got mine on Saturday (Australian time), and I'm pretty sure it was a street date breaker. The store i got it from wasn't a prefered supplier or whatever. I've been digesting it in chunks, and I love it!

    10 Iconic Fictional Swords!

    I had no idea what Stormbringer was. I guess not everyone reads the same books.

    Mearls announces end of Legends & Lore & New D&D Columns in 2015!

    Wait, really?! Huh. The store I got it from must have broken street date, because there's no way their part of the (whatever it is that let stores sell early).

    Design Your Own Miniatures With Heroforge!

    That's some Games Workshop style prices there. Given, you get to design them yourself, it's still pricey for a miniature in a material that may or may not work for you. I like the system though. I'll give it a few months and see what transpires.

    D&D 5E The DMG: Has it lived up to the hype?

    Create rules for giving mechanical weight to character motivation, personality traits, and so on. Use action points, fate points, or a similar meta-mechanic as a reward or a way to give players a mechanical option to boost their power for a specific moment. > There's sections on creating...

    D&D 5E Should player's assume if it's in the DMG then it's RAW?

    Three words, one of which is super important. Dungeon. Masters. Guide. It's just a guide.

    D&D 5E Why are vague rules praised?

    Yeah, I'm hoping to see much more about PC's building strongholds becoming leaders in the world. As it is, I'm thinking about giving the characters an approximate square footage and some graph paper and saying "have fun". I'm probably going to check out the 3rd edition strongholds book again...

    The DMG Disclaimer Contains Some Secret Useful Advice!

    Always say yes is good, but never discount "No, but..." My vocab is: Yes. Yes, and.... Yes, but.... No, but..... Giving players agency is super important, but if a character obviously couldn't do something and their character *knows* they couldn't do it, you should be giving them option.

    D&D 5E I have the DMG!

    In this instance the correct response actually would be to run. A lot of DMs (myself included) will include challenges that fall into the *run away* category and leave it up to the players to decide what to do. Personally, I do it in order to create a world that is unpredictable for the...

    D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook

    5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook I'm enjoying the heck out of 5th edition D&D, and the Players Handbook is a big part of that. It's well written, with just the right amount of ambiguity to allow a player full reign on their creations. EXCELLENT art production value.

    D&D 5E DMG Excerpt: Creating a New Race

    Oh, no. Not asking permission. Just trying to start a conversation about the pro's and con's of doing such a thing.

    D&D 5E DMG Excerpt: Creating a New Race

    (durp, i didn't quote this in my last response.) What if you were to raise the max STR of a race that's supposed to be really strong, at the expense of another ability, say DEX?

    New Feat/magic system: Arcane Reserves

    Does anyone think that the caster should possibly need to succeed on a concentration check to do this?
