Wondering if Sebastian Crow's Guide to Drakkenheim is coming to D&D Beyond as well... Also curious as to how many of the Lairs in Monsters of Drakkenheim are located in the city... Just bought Dungeons of Drakkenheim and as a Mordheim fan I'm loving it!

really looking forward to this. loved warhammer fantasy role-play 1st edition but 4e has turned the crunch up way to high for me... Hope they go with a simpler more heroic system.

and she co-wrote one of the greatest sandbox campaigns ever: Griffen Mountain (for RuneQuest). She will be missed and remembered.

having been on the star cruiser... I can tell you that it was an absolutely amazing experience and well worth the money. It is like nothing you have ever experienced before...

Love, love, love this box. As a dedicated Call of Cthulhu GM this was so much better to me than Cthulhu by Gaslight! I just wish there was more support for more evil human cultists as opponents, as opposed to monsters for villains...

I skipped all the BECMI and BX sets back in the day. I started with Holmes Basic, and then went on to other nonD&D games (Champtions, Call of Cthulhu, Pendragon, RuneQuest) I was busy playing other things at the time. I've acquired all of them in the last 10 years or so and they are very...

for some reason I could never really get into Planescape. Maybe at the time it was just too weird to me or something...

CIty of Greyhawk was published in 1989 for AD&D 2e. It was written by Douglas Niles, Carl Sargent, and Rik Rose. It details the city and the Cairn Hills, the Mistmarsh, the Plain of Greyhawk, and the Eastern Reach of the Gnarly Forest. It has a ton of NPCs, 24 adventure cards set both in and...

Obviously this is a discussion of D&D on a D&D board, but these ideas espoused by so many players of D&D are always so puzzling to me... As a person whose first deep immersion into the hobby came from Champions (where death is generally not very likely) and then Call of Cthulhu (where death is...

Well in my case. My players do not like or want their characters to die. So guess what as the DM I make sure they dont. I guess we've been having BAD WRONG FUN for 40 years.

My players (whom I've GMd for over 40 years) don't like dying. It's just no fun for them and it generally ruins their mood and definatly dampens their desire to play. So generally unless its a heroic sacrifice type of situation the PCs in my game don't die.

Thanks for the info! and while there are more than 2 execs at the company, it's still a small family owned company. and in those companies its the owners who generally make all decisions that in any way effect the bottom line. and so I'm just saying that really Erik (it seems to me) has...

well as I understand it Paizo's really a very small company and there's Erik, one other guy and the owners (Lisa and Vic) at the top. So Erik's in a position where, if the owners don't want to respond to the issues, he has no say. He's just got to regurgitate their crap to the staff (or quit)...

Yeah I mean I worked at a very large bank for 30 years, who implemented numerous of these techniques. Lean 6, 6 Sigma, and many others over the years. They spent countless millions on consultants to get these programs going. But as they were run at my bank (and I'm sure many other places) they...
