Favorite: Ptolus Top 3: Eberron & Forgotten Realms (+ Nentir Vale is part of my FR). Top 6: Golarion, Ars Magica (Real World- Mythic Europe) and Freeport. I recently started reading the Star Wars FFG books and was surprised how good and useful the campaign materials were. (After reading several...

Could you link to a review? Pretty please. Yeah, we are neck deep in Kingmaker and all my players want to do, is to visit Brevoy and find out what happened to House Rogarvia and plot and plan against the other houses... I have to remind them constantly, that until they manage to get a noble...

Thank you for the replies! :D Anything welcome, even other systems (like Warhammer Fantasy RPG, OSR etc.). Blight looks interesting. Bard's Gate looks even more interesting, I might have to look for more info (reviews, previews, reddit, google search etc.). We kinda did that already with "The...

Could you recommend - third party - long adventures (or adventure paths) for D&D or Pathfinder? The only three I am aware of are Ptolus, Chains of Asmodeus and Empire of the Ghouls. My group loves game of thrones style roleplay (intrigue at high court), but anything that is centered around...

May I recommend Bud's RPG Reviews on youtube. He reviews mostly Call of Cthuhu and Delta Green, but he made reviews for D&D, Runequest, Warhammer Fantasy and OSR, among other.

Give the players an item with permanent sense trap? They know it's there, they just don't know how it works, what it does or how to disable it? It makes sense in the world and it makes sense at the table. Win-win?

Yes, but some are EXTREMELY poorly balanced. The kingdom builder rules (for example) both for 1e and 2e are abysmal, horrible, awful, terrible. The Circus management rules from extinction curse looked fun, varied, thematic and interesting. I didn't try them, but they look like a lot of fun. The...

I rephrase it: I am disappointed in the Pathfinder APs (the ones I know), so I am branching out to other games. I was thinking about giving them (Pathfinder APs) a last chance, so I started looking for unbiased reviews, but Paizo "cannibalized" their "journalists", and everyone is working for...

I bought Age of Ashes, we played it, but I rewrote huge chunks of it and didn't finish it at the end, overall I was very disappointed, I also bought Agents of Edgewatch although I like the idea, after reading it I realised that it is not something my group would like to play. I was just looking...

My take on the question: If somebody asked me to recommend 10 "something" to them, so that they can prepare for their first D&D game, what would I recommend. If I have an entry already on one list, I don't recommend it on another list. Well known Authors: William Shakespeare J.R.R. Tolkien...

I have subbed to 5 and watch everything they release and I check occasionally 2 others. My favorites from top to bottom: Sly Flourish - The Lazy Dungeon Master (Mike Shea) Matt Colville (and MCDM) Seth Skorkowsky Roll for Combat (Stephen Glicker & Mark Seifter) Bud's RPG Review Occasionally...

My original intent with the topic was to find out which 2e APs are considered to be "successful". I tried deducing this from the number of the related paizo forum topics (Kingmaker and Abominations Vault have many topics, the rest not so much). Google search results PBFs Reddit mentions etc...

Most read: D&D 3e PHB Most "used": Eberron Campaign Setting/Guide Most educational: Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting Most useful: 3e Cityscape, Frostburn, Sandstorm, Stormwrack Most inspirational: Stronghold Builder's Guidebook (you can use the ideas for designing the dungeons/strongholds for...

I was wondering how many of the "big/long" D&D 5e (2014) have you actually played? And how many of those did you finish? For my group it was only Tyranny of Dragons and Rime of the Frostmaiden (and the two starter sets), we finished all of them. We played a couple adventures from Yawning Portal...

So no clue?
