    Sage Advice 3/21/16 Exploding druids and antimagic field vs zombies and cure wounds

    I was impressed with Open Grave b/c it gave me the insight into undead/unlife I didn't have before it. There are 3 pieces to a living being-body soul and animus. The animus is what pumps blood and makes limbs move, the soul is consciousness. Necromancy reanimates animus into a body; The soul...

    SWORD COAST LEGENDS Trailer

    Define 'good multiplayer game. I had tons of fun when I was a child playing chess on PC and a chess-like game called Archon on the Nes;It was 2-player. Simple games are totally compatible with digital gaming. It would clean the drudgery and you could actually run more advanced...

    Sword Coast Legends is not D&D

    I'm not sure how OFF-TOPIC this is but here goes. Glad to see there are many frustrated gamers. I pretty muched stopped buying games b/c there aren't very many that offer anything more than an avenue to waste time. The only games that really appeal to me are mindless replayable indie games...

    SWORD COAST LEGENDS Trailer

    There are lots of games that need be converted and distributed though digital means. Not making games accessible to the youngest audience is the main reason the games are as niche as they are. That and nearly zero advertising. Video games and movies are the best advertising source in society...

    How 3D Printing is Upending the Miniature Industry

    Two things the article leaves out is the world's economy still has issues after the 2008 bubble bust. Ebay was filled to the brim before 2008 with broken down GW products, after the crash it dried up to mainly bits. People were overspending and stopped when the market signaled. Mainly b/c...

    D&D 5E "Just Kill Them": Balancing PC survival and Monster Intelligence

    I agree with Umbran, the PCs are already dealt with. They are handed off to slavers/lessers b/c they have already been beaten and stripped, so not a major problem anymore. Pride and carelessness are what allow the escape to happen. I doubt they intend for anybody to stick around for slave...

    D&D 5E Imp miniature

    The Angelfire 43/60: Imp is the way to go. It's on a tiny base unlike the Demonweb Grinning Imp, which is on a small base. The Angelfire version is better than the Demonweb one on scale, paint, and detail. Can't recommend it enough. Here is one shipped for 5$. Totally worth it...

    D&D 5E Icons of the Realms Set 3: Rage of Demons

    IMO, GoL was the set that DDM actually started looking good enough to buy. Aberrations is the first set to me that said 'I'm awesome'. I love the 4e sets the most b/c 4e changed lots of stuff, I.E. elementals/archons/titans/primordials, which I love. Dungeon of Dread, Against the Giants...

    RAGE OF DEMONS Has A Trailer!

    Too 2012-2013 for you? :] I wish this style was used more. This is the second memorable time I've seen it used. It's the best and most winnable way they could have swooned me.

    The Geekification of Everything?

    Some of the ideas were legit. Some were impractical. Some were dumb. At no point do I want all games to target the entire market. Niche makes the world go round. Shaming creators, saying they have to accommodate everyone made the conversation unbearable. The worst part about the internet...

    D&D 5E A new Golden Age for D&D

    As long as good ideas are coming, that is what really counts. I wouldn't know, I don't play 5th. I own 3rd edition materials, never played, so I can't speak for the past either XD

    D&D Movie/TV What would a good D&D movie be like?

    No love story would help. Characters finding love is boring. Why do movies think love is good filler? Sure it is cheap. A Star Trek TV show style, decision making, with minimal action scenes would work for me. Less is more, with good plot and character involvement.

    RAGE OF DEMONS Minis From WizKids

    Well, consider the old DDM line is DEAD. WidKids doesn't want a baggage filler role in this. WizKids and WotC want to cater to the 5th edition, just like the 4e minis catered to 4th edition. They are only printing minis that appear in the Monster Manual and adventures. This is good. Just B/C the...
