At the end of the day, the DM - by virtue of being the guy actually running the game - has to be able to run the game that he's comfortable running. And magic items is one of the levers he has at his disposal for doing that. By just dropping the whole magic item list in the PHB, you've now set the t...

@ACOS In the context of choice, empowerment and entitlement are the same thing. Like, literally the same thing. Any argument that tries to draw a distinction is doomed to fail on first principles. If you said something like 'between races, classes, feats, spells, traits, etc. players have too much ...

[*]Leadership (should be in PHB) Given that it is explicitly optional, and attached with a fair amount of warning - in addition to it coming at the end of a multi-page discussion on followers in a story-building context - I think that DMG was the right place for it. That location also made it less ...

Would it have made more sense, then, if they were set on the staggered release thing for them to have published the DMG first along with the basic rules online, and then follow up with MM and finally PHB? That way people buy the DMG, decide to run, gather a group, get more converts, can buy the MM ...

I actually see that as surprisingly well for 5e. The tell will be what those numbers look like a year from now. I'm going to make a big deal of the fact that those numbers listed a significantly lower proportion of players to games compared to the other two games in the top 3 for number of games be...

TBH, I think it would probably fall flat. Frank has already stated explicitly that he gives less than zero fucks about the edition. We've already got the MM, the PHB is boring as shit, and the DMG is jumbled pile of fuck. At this point, trading dead baby jokes would be more entertaining and producti...

This must have been the thought process that created point-buy systems. With that being said, why not use point buy for that kind of storytelling? Throughout my entire reading of the OP, I found myself thinking this exact same thing. [hr] @Josh: Objectively speaking, I am unable to totally hate tha...

Okay, so you need to assign your units a variety of combat values: * size * modes of movement * maneuverability - not just how fast and agile, but also time it takes to enact movement commands * attack values: -* types and frequency of each type -* effectiveness (perhaps -vs- various defense values)...

Any mass combat game is going to have to simulate morale and supply rules, which are a hell of a lot more troublesome than modeling to-hit and damage rules. I'm not sure if this is the best yardstick since I don't read much fiction, but historical battles with thousands of men usually end with most...
