GMforPowergamers , That is true, but if there is reference material...using my phone is awkward, and its easier to hand a piece of paper to one of the players.

Fair enough...

Isn't the whole point of mobile to go anywhere?

Yeah, but checking a feat on your phone during a game might not be conviniant for some.

Small, mobile-oriented articles aren't easy to use in game. They are good for perusing at your leisure during life downtime. So keeping it to stuff that is interesting to read or spur the imagination is better than crunch.

 

[Kramodlog]

No, it does not.

I see your nuh-huh and raise you and "yuh-huh".

But SkidAce is right, this is not the place.

So, what info do we have to fork over to get the app?

You've gotten very predictable.

That is a rather ironic comment. You're so predictable that your wiki entry on CM says you'll white knight anything. And I must say it is as been so far very accurate.

If you two are going to bicker like an old married couple, take it to PMs.

If this is a problem, I suggest staying away from any mobile or internet connected devices.

[MENTION=7706]SkidAce[/MENTION] I'm pretty curious about whether or not goldomark plays the game that he likes to criticize.

For those asking about 'crunch', there are no feats, spells, or other items in the first issue. The article on goliaths is a lightly edited version of the material on goliaths in the Elemental Evil Player's Companion:

From Dragon+:
"These reclusive beings dwell at the highest mountain peaks, wandering a bleak realm of rock, where the air is thin and the frigid winds howl. Few folk can claim to have seen a goliath, and fewer still can claim friendship with them."

From EEPG:
"At the highest mountain peaks -- far above the slopes where trees grow and where the air is thin and the frigid winds howl -- dwell the reclusive goliaths. Few folk can claim to have seen a goliath, and fewer still can claim friendship with them. Goliaths wander a bleak realm of rock, wind, and cold."

This first issue seems more like a proof-of-concept than an actual, thought-out magazine; hopefully later issues will improve.

This is good to know. The target audience doesn't seem to be us folks who digest every word WotC writes with the voraciousness of locusts.

Well he refused to answer the question if he does in fact like 5e. Not meaning to stir the pot but im interested to know myself, otherwise not sure why he posts in a 5e forum.
