I'm assuming I'm not in a high enough dimension to comprehend those grids because that page isn't working for me.

Cross-posting from Happy Thread:
I just picked up a copy of the 5e Dungeon Master's Guide at my LFGS last night (since they're part of the early release program and get advance copies). I'm only about 30 pages into it so far (though I did spend some time skipping ahead to look at magic items and such), and it has good advice on manageable world building and introducing world-shaking events into a campaign and suchlike. Something I'm really happy they included is advice on using hex maps at various scales, since it's something I've wanted to implement but didn't quite know how to use until now.

This isn't a full review or anything since I haven't even read the full book yet, but I felt like sharing/bragging.

Now if we could just get a Call of Cthulhu rulebook that deals with pentagonal and septagonal grids

If you look at the quote in the editor you'll see that it isn't

Doesn't work so well when someone else has already quoted the original, unedited post. :P

EDIT: *blink* And that person was you, actually. ^_^

So, I'm playing a crippled Tengu oracle/monk in Pathfinder. While only my melee attack is in the negatives, anyone have ideas how to get it higher?

I may have taken the curse that gives -4 to all attacks. Because flavor, dangit.
Oh, and while my stats are good in general (AC 19 at level 2, managed to GM in a wis-based oracle), I have a CON of 4.

So, while I have an idea how to deal with this ridiculously fun mess, I was wondering if anyone else had ideas how to make this more fun/surviveable. Current plan is to take Toughness at level three with my monk level.

how about those new magic cards

Manifest is really cool. Jeskai Infiltrator is my favorite use of it so far I think.
I was really hoping the face-down nonsense would stop after Khans :/

Monastery Mentor seems pretty nuts, Jeskai tokens could probably turn it into lethal damage pretty quickly.  Battle Brawler also seems good, especially with Chief of the Edge.  Maybe B/W or Mardu Warrior Tribal will become a thing if they get a little more stuff.

I play Boss Sligh so I'm mainly looking for cheap red stuff, and nothing's really caught my interest yet.  Heelcutter is perhaps interesting as a sideboard against midrange, but it seems way more expensive than other options like Frenzied Goblin and it dies to stupid stuff like Courser.  Outpost Siege is certainly a good card, and maybe it could help give Sligh some extra reach by letting it double draw every turn in the late game.

What I'm mainly hoping for is 1) a red creature that dashes for two or less mana, due to the synergy with Foundry Street Denizen and 2) for the red version of Valorous Stance to have relevant effects like Burn/Pump, although that might be a bit of a pipe dream.

So, I just got the Operation: Icestorm start box for Infinity, have started cleaning up the models. This is my glorious return to minis since I retired from warhammer/40k a few years ago and I'm stoked. I plan to post pictures of progress here once I make some. Does anyone else play?

For any women ttrpgers interested there's an awesome group on google (and men can join, also, it's more of a safe space to be a woman gamer, which, honestly, I needed.)

So. Playing a CoC/D&D 3.5 mashup, today I got new feet stitched onto me in my sleep while my old ones occupied my shoes, got my animal companion killed by ruffians, lost a fighter to murlocks (urglhurgleurgle!), and had my new hawk animal companion almost eaten by a boar.

In previous sessions, I have vomited up a human ear, vomited up green goo with worms, and woken up in a bed soaked in blood.

This is a good campaign.
