People love having a spot in their game they can make their own. The house in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is easily one of the most popular parts of the module. At least that's my impression from reddit, review articles, session recap blogs and my own group. People like the idea of a headquarters, a pla...

As I admitted in "5e has failed" I've embraced/resigned myself to it's use.

Would anyone who's been using it be willing to distill/share their basic tweaks/additions/improvements?

Any standard gear or bonuses you hand out at the start?

I will admit I have thrown away my ... standards basically, and embraced the use of 5e.

At the very least I'm enjoying the art and the character books like Volo and XGE. :/

TLDR; My life is too busy to fight against the tide, at least the pictures are pretty.

I haven't found a robust markdown to bbcode conversion library in my searches, btw.

I've had to ammend the one I did find to include some common TGD tags.

I've actually inquired about helping to transition the boards to a modern open source forum but haven't made much headway. >_>

Unless it's all melee combat, better hope the smuggler stays a smuggler. They're probably the only one that can do anything else useful. Eh, force powers fix a lot of problems.

So what are the elements of D&D that must be in a new edition, lest the fans revolt? [snip] The "necessary elements" are determined by some unknown alchemical formula: you can remove almost anything, but you can't remove everything at the same time. You can remove vancian casting, you...

Here's a thing: What's the secondhand market value on ships? This question applies to ships of any size, fighters up to capital ships.

DDB seems to be backed by Curse, not WotC specifically.

Stealing Imperial ships has been the focus of at least one storyline for the early rebel fleet.

But SW:Rebels actually shows the early rebellion building up its own custom fleet as well.

Critical Role is a bunch of voice actors streaming their D&D game on Wil Wheaton's gaming channel. They're more watchable than most tabletop gaming streams because they're all professional performers. I haven't seen the video, but I assume CR is 'saving' D&D by being the most visible promot...
