D&D 5E Review Part 15: Spells (Actually a GenCon Report)
Spells are a very important part of D&D, especially for spell casters. The selection of spells a spell caster has available to him can have a major effect on his or her spelling. I think the most important aspect of spells are their spell like qualities…ok, you got me, I didn’t read the spell section,…
D&D 5E Review Part 14: Spellcasting
It’s been a while since I’ve shamelessly plugged anything, so let’s start with that. Hex Games co-founder Leighton Connor has just released the latest Ross Fulton, Occult Detective story, The MarmiCon Conundrum, in which I appear as a character. Leighton and I will also be releasing a new Brainfart Press book next week called Pig…
D&D 5E Review Part 13: Combat
An elf swings his delicate bejewelled sword, puncturing a disbelieving dwarf’s heart with a graceful flourish. A paladin screams “Die Infidel Scum” as he murders orcish children for the glory of his bloodthirsty sun god. A bard inspires his companions with an ancient battle song, masturbating frantically the entire time. A reviewer can’t take much…

Since I don’t have time to run a game and the world needs another fantasy RPG supplement…
D&D 5E Review Part 11: Using Ability Scores
Chapter 7 is mostly a refresher course on concepts that have already been introduced (ability scores and modifiers, advantages, and disadvantages, and proficiency bonuses) but with more in-depth explanation and a clear description of how they fit together: Roll a d20, add your ability modifier, add your proficiency bonus if you have an appropriate proficiency….
D&D 5E Review Part 10: Customization Options
I think this now makes 2 chapters so far that haven’t been in every version of D&D ever produced. The previous one was “Personality & Backgrounds,” which has traditionally just been a paragraph somewhere between Exception Strength and Alignment Languages. My guess is that “Customization Options” are optional rules that will introduce players to new…
D&D 5E Review Part 9: Equipment
I know that there are some people who look at an RPG character as nothing more than a transportation device for equipment, but I personally can’t make myself care very much about equipment that isn’t important to the plot or the character. My basic attitude towards character equipment is that if the character needs one,…
