    Black Flag Tales of the Valiant is out (in PDF)! What do people think?

    Gloomstalkers get an extra attack on the first round that deals extra damage. They are also invisible to Darkvision, so I had a lot of attacks with advantage. The character was Ranger 5/ Rogue 3. The DM made the mistake of granting me a surprise round for being stealthy, so I could act twice. I...

    Paizo Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous DLC Release Date Announced

    There's also another Pathfinder CRPG coming based on the PF1 Adventure Dragon's Demand. It's done by Ossian Studios who have previously worked on NWN modules. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ossianstudios/pathfinder-the-dragons-demand

    Black Flag Tales of the Valiant is out (in PDF)! What do people think?

    I used a Gloomstalker with Rogue multiclass to kill a Beholder intended as a boss encounter before it could even act. Nearly killed it, another PC had to remove its last few hp, but that was still before the Beholder had its turn. That subclass is utterly broken.

    D&D General Hasbro Is Looking For Partners For Baldur's Gate 4

    The 3.0 FRCS is great. WotC could have done a proper FR setting book, similar to the Eberron one, instead of just the Sword Coast for 5e.

    Black Flag Tales of the Valiant is out (in PDF)! What do people think?

    Most 5e 3PPs will rather release under CC-BY than the more demanding ORC. Many of them aren't interested in releasing Open Content and are afraid, that the ORC allows bigger publishers to steal their ideas, ignoring of course that Kobold Press won't be allowed to do that unless they release any...

    D&D General 5E, A5E, or ToV?

    There's also C7d20 from Cubicle 7 but they have yet to release anything for it.

    Black Flag Tales of the Valiant is out (in PDF)! What do people think?

    My statement was probably a bit harsh, but thanks for clarifying it. Has any other publisher already announced releasing material compatible to TotV by the way?

    Black Flag Tales of the Valiant is out (in PDF)! What do people think?

    That's somewhat misleading. The book isn't released under Creative Commons, but they are required to attribute the 5.1 SRD.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    He must have been really disappointed last year when all those women lost their job at WotC and he had to stay.

    How happy are you with your regular ruleset?

    Not 5e in particular, legacy D&D stuff in general. At this point, I probably prefer 3rd and 4th edition to 5e. I can't think of anything specific to 5e that I'm missing in PF2. I liked 5e's third party support, but I liked the one of 3rd edition more. And the lack of 3rd party stuff is somewhat...

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    Pathfinder 2 avoided this problem by making the Fighter the most powerful class in the game ...

    How happy are you with your regular ruleset?

    My only regular game is currently Pathfinder 2, but I'm really happy with it. Yes, losing iconic monsters hurts somewhat, but Pathfinder has been around for 15 years and created a menacing menagerie of its own.

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    So, the obvious solution for the problem would be to release a setting that needs the Warlord. There's already a setting that was created with the Warlord in mind: Nenthir Vale. So they just have to release a Nenthir Vale Campaign Setting for 5e and they could easily justify the addition of the...

    D&D 5E Who tried to end the OGL?

    But their revenue from the rules is also due to name recognition and critical mass. 5e would sell far less if it wasn't called Dungeons and Dragons.

    D&D 5E Who tried to end the OGL?

    It's a good thing they never released Magic under the OGL, otherwise Disney would have been able to create its own Trading Card Game ... The worth of D&D is in the name, not in the rules. There are, in my opinion of course, better games out there, but stuff like Stranger Things made people...

    D&D 5E Who tried to end the OGL?

    There are parts in 3.5 that are Open Content but not in the SRD, including Unearthed Arcana. If they are that worried about releasing stuff into Creative Commons and truly no longer intend to deauthorize the OGL, they could just release a OGL 1.3 that is similar to OGL 1.0a but irrevocable.

    D&D 5E Why is There No Warlord Equivalent in 5E?

    It's fascinating how strongly some people dislike 4e and anything reminding them of it. 5e was supposed to bring players of all previous editions together, including 4e. If you don't like a certain class, you don't have to play it. Pathfinder's 2e player base has become far less dismissive of...

    D&D 5E Who tried to end the OGL?

    I'd be more interested in who won together with us.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Than what was it that you were trying to say? Hopefully something that's not "I wish for these people I disagree with to suffer serious and life threatening physical harm".

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    What was that obvious metaphor supposed to convey instead? Bear in mind that many users of that forum like myself don't speak English as their first language.
