For 2nd edition, Temple, Tower &Tomb. I don't remember liking the adventure, but I seem to remember liking the maps enough to use multiple times.

You ain't kidding. There was a time in my group during the late 80s to mid-90s that we would regularly get this conversation: 1: Lets start a new campaign 2: Cool, D&D or GURPS? Having seen Steve J. at a panel at a Gen-Con around 1995ish, I am very glad he managed to last so long.

Look at The Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master. The author Mike Shea post here as Sly Flourish, he has books, podcast and YouTube Channel. It is good stuff and helpful even to old DMs like myself.

I saw that and liked it very much. No rolls needed, you have to find the recipe, then gather the ingrediants, then have a short amount of time and boom you got it. No ingrediants come from humanoids, and each player has enough time to harvest 1 ingrediant from each monster after a battle.

We just got back from a vacation in NYC and my son has decided to go to FIT up there, maybe I can make one of these shows one day

I have also noticed that some of the most popular streaming games (and others I enjoy very much) the players aren't in character all the time. They switch to third person often to describe what the character does including social interactions. And that seems to work really well Also, I don't...

How about getting Vin Diesel to write a section on DM Tips for dealing with lone wolf players? That would be useful, by a celebrity, and based on what I have read about his play style, an area of knowledge for him.

And I QFT your QFT. My lack of The One Ring 1st edition books is testement to get your licensed gaming stuff early. Yes, I had years to get it, but didn't cause I knew I would not get it to the table, by the time I decided to maybe get some it was already too late.

I found the 2022 move The Outfit to be outstanding.

I have the core book and the source book on Arrikas. I don't think it would be a problem at all to run a campaign very different than the books. If the bundle includes the book on the Emperor's Court or the Landsraad I think you would be gold.

Case by Case. No outrageous characters, but if it is within reasonable tolerance of what is already in play, Why Not? This reminds me a poster here years ago (like over a decade +) that talked how he always played the same character. He apparently kept pristine notes on his XP and what items...

Well that's just silly, that would be like Professor Tolkien adding a small out of the way small race into the middle of the Third Age with little development and having other races barely know of their existence. :Looks around and figures people will get the joke: If not, totally agree with...

I hear ya. It can be not so fun for players as well, especially the slub stuck in the middle of the marching order.

I got mine ordered.

I have indeed. For myself I dove into Call of Cthulhu last year. I didn't get it to the table, but loved the Luck Stat. I did get Dune to the table for House/Character Generation. While it made me appreciate Metacurrancy heavy games, there was not a lot of buy in as 2 of the players were not...
