Well fellow DM's it's here it's finally here, for some of us. Others are going to have to wait another two weeks. But if you are like me and now have the DM screen in your hands the wait is over. I know it is only a DM screen. But in so many ways it… Continue reading 5E D&D Dungeon Masters Screen!
Ill just give this a quick reblog as I am in the act of sitting down and about to do a quick mini review of the DM screen that I picked up last night . Just seems like a nice fit for today !
It’s finally here….
First of all:
Wizard’s original plan was to release the Players Handbook in August, the Monster Manual in September, an adventure module in October, and the Dungeon Master’s Guide in November. They delayed the DMG’s release until December for reasons that were never exactly explained (but I think I can explain later on), but made good use of the delay by using the promise of previews to raise money for charity, with some quite dramatic success.

Star Trek FATE is a perfect example of the FATE system doing what it does best. In a time when there really is not a good set of rules for a very impressive game genre. FATE flexes its muscles and shows off how much versatility it has.
If you don’t know where to start, a good place is always the beginning. The beginning for Star Trek is the Starfleet Academy. Any non Vulcan or Vulcan/Human character starts the Academy at age 18 (18 skill points) and with a refresh of 3. Vulcans and Vulcan/Humans start the Academy at age 22 (22 skill points) and 5 Refresh. While most fate games give you free choice as to what skills you can have and where, being in the Academy requires some skills to be at least at +1 (Average):
