    D&D General Adventure in a temple?

    You know I actually knew that one already. It’s a great little adventure. Fun fact it was written by Professor Dungeon Master of Dungeoncraft fame. Heavily inspired by the Name of the Rose. Only downside is I’ve ran it already. But it’s exactly The kind of thing I was looking for.

    D&D General Adventure in a temple?

    Are they set in the library or just accessed through the library. I thought the Candlekeep mysteries were all set off campus and the book was just the hook/gimmick?

    D&D General Adventure in a temple?

    I’m looking for an adventure set in a temple, monastary or library or substantially featuring a one of these? It has to be a working temple/monastary/library, not ruined. Staffed by folks. Ideally of a good or neutral good. Any edition of D&D or D&D adjacent. Ideally a good adventure. Any...

    The Ethics of Two Way Ignore

    Have they changed the setup so that only 5 posts appear per page? I feel I always pressing the next button. 😜

    Asmodee Owner To Split Into 3 Companies

    They’ve got some pretty huge brands. Though the article does mentioning up to 3.9x leverage through the deal and therefore that profit is around £260m. I can believe that based on the IP they own.

    D&D General How many DMs buy (official) adventures?

    I’m surprised none of the D&D surveys over the last few years every asked the question.

    D&D General How many DMs buy (official) adventures?

    I’ll flip that and say most of the DMs I know run published adventures more than homebrew and most I see that do homebrew add these elements into published campaigns.

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    Well there’s nothing like 13 pages of baseless speculation and mud throwing by the uninformed to demonstrate the worst we have to offer. I wonder how you folks would react if you quit your job and people responded this way. Maybe she’s gone to work for a company with a less hostile fanbase.

    My Comic & Game store got broken into and burgled.

    Really sorry to hear that Fitz. It’s so unfair. I’m sure it’s a relief your business can bear it but it sucks that you have to, when you could have used that $4k somewhere else. If be wary about spending a fortune on security. In my time I’ve seen burglars cut through ceilings, cut through stud...

    Anyone played Masks of Nyarlathotep?

    It’s great reading adventures that are character, event and motivation driven even when they involve lots of combat. Rather than kick down this door and kill the things inside. Search for treasure. Repeat. The funny thing is I would enjoy D&D more of it adopted this more ‘modern’ approach (even...

    Anyone played Masks of Nyarlathotep?

    A lot of love. I have a very old pdf knocking about somewhere and comparing the two the reprint is gorgeous. I know I’ve seen some comments in other threads that TTRPG books should resemble technical manuals. But my god these books are fun to read as the DM.

    D&D General Has anyone played in a group where everyone was a member of the same species? (+)

    Sure all human is relatively common in groups I’ve played. Never had an all dwarf. But i did play in an all Drow campaign that was a lot of fun a few years ago.

    Anyone played Masks of Nyarlathotep?

    I wonder how much of the feedback in the thread is from older editions because there seems to be a lot of advice in the substantial introduction to the 7e version about survivability, local customs, law enforcement, sanity etc. Don’t get me wrong. It suggests having a back up character but it...

    I’ve read the Peru section. Wow. That is pretty dark stuff! Reads brilliantly though.
