All right. For those who want to check out Globe Records, it's available online.

Oh -- I want to stress again that I am not a graphic artist. Please excuse the... graphic art.

Bonus Actions: Not So Fast

Image
  "We've had one wind, yes. What about second wind?" I am, admittedly, a rules-as-written kinda guy when it comes to 5E. I don't typically use houserules -- due in no small part to playing and running so many Adventurers League games -- but there's one pretty common houserule that's always bugged me. I've never really thought about why it bugged me so much, but I figured it out, and the answer involves something I don't think I've really seen anyone talk about online. The houserule in question: allowing a PC to drink a potion as a bonus action. And the reason it bugs me is that that's not what bonus actions are for. I think there's a lot of unspoken confusion about that, what the bonus action represents in the narrative, and consequently it seems like there's also a lot of people who've silently agreed on what that is . The question "Can I do that as a bonus action?" with regards to opening a door or drinking a potion imp...

Game Chef 2010: Action City! v0.3 Ready for Playtesting (UPDATED)

Action City! v0.3 is online and ready for playtesting! So if you want to playtest it, download it and do that thing, then tell me about it here, or email me at the link provided in the document. While this version is a bit longer, it's still only 18 pages including two pages of character sheets, a "Final Thoughts" page, and copious white space. What can I say?

D&D's New Weapon Mastery Is from the '80s

Image
From left to right: Rules Cyclopedia, One D&D Playtest Packet 5 I'm a big fan of the D&D Rules Cyclopedia .  Published in 1991, it compiles the Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, and Immortal boxed sets (aka BECMI) into a single chunky book, complete with Darlene-style hex maps of the "Known World" of Mystara in the back. It may be the best single-book edition of D&D . It may also be the only single-book edition of D&D , but that's neither here nor there. The RC has a lot going for it besides the form factor, like non-weapon proficiencies, something like prestige classes or subclasses, and... weapon mastery. Yes, weapon mastery, the cool new thing in the most-recent One D&D playtest packet that has everyone abuzz! And for good reason; it's a little something extra for the martial classes that doesn't come close to addressing the power discrepancy between casters and non-casters, especially at high levels, but still. (In addition to being...
