    What would you like to see in Baldur's Gate 4?

    Assuming it ever happens and given this thread, what attributes would you like to see in BG 4? Mechanics/Engine - A game engine similar to BG 3 (i.e., Larian's version of 5e)? A game engine similar to Solastra:CotM (a more faithful interpretation of the 5e ruleset)? Something else entirely...

    D&D 5E Death and Dying in 5e

    I have seen a number of comments on these fine forums over the years since 5e has been out that death and dying is a bit too...how to put it...PC friendly. As in, not deadly enough. I find this interesting, as that has not been my experience thus far, at least when compared to more recent...

    D&D 5E Effects of Aging

    So our party ran into our first ghost this weekend. Of course one of the PC's failed their save against the ghost's horrifying visage (or whatever its called) by more than 5, and he was aged by 40 years(!), making him a half-orc bard in his mid-60's. Looking through all the books and a brief...

    More than 4 at the table...

    Our current gaming group has been steadily growing over the years. We currently average 7-8 players plus a DM per session. I would rather not get into a discussion how this was or was not not an issue under 1e or 2e, or how 3e/4e may or may not make gaming with groups of this size more slog...

    First Published Module

    Just sitting around browsing my ye olde module collection and it suddenly occurred to me that I had no idea which module was first published by TSR. I started gaming in the late 70's, so my experience is primarily with 1e and later. Based on covers it looks like the Giant series is pretty old...
