@Morrus: WotC has just announced a new book in its officially licensed cookbook line. This one is a cocktail book by Andrew Wheeler called Puncheons and Dragons. It releases on August 27 with an RRP of US$29.99...

Hi all, I am running my first Eberron campaign. The player group consists of my wife, two of our daughters, and a married couple who are friends of ours. In our most recent adventure, my wife's PC (a dragonmarked gnome eloquence bard) was disintegrated by a laser beam while the party was in...

The trailer for the final season of Star Wars: The Bad Batch has just been released: The first three episodes will be out on Feb 21. The first season was good. The second season, however, really knocked it out of the park. I know cartoons aren't everyone's cup of tea, but this is top-notch...

Lucasfilm has announced a new movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu. It will go into production this year, directed by Jon Favreau. https://www.starwars.com/news/the-mandalorian-and-grogu I hope it's better than Season 3 of The Mandalorian. I also hope they come up with a better title.

Hi all, I'm on holiday and am finally working my way through The Shattered Obelisk myself. I'm up to the Zorzula's Rest section, which has what might be the worst map I've ever encountered in a WotC product. This is especially surprising given it was done by Mike Schley. You may recall that...

Hey all, I love the idea of running a "wild west" style game in Eberron's Q'barra region (see here), but I am no good at making up my own adventures. To avoid having to make up a town from scratch, I could adapt either Red Larch (Princes of the Apocalypse) or Phandalin (Lost Mines / Shattered...

BEWARE: DUNGEON OF THE MAD MAGE SPOILERS AWAIT BELOW! My Dungeon of the Mad Mage group of four 15th level PCs recently made a deal with Extremiton, the ulitharid running the Alterdeep simulation on the 17th floor of Undermountain. Having failed to defeat the githyanki twice, the PCs asked for...

Looks like there's a new Star Wars game coming out soon. Here's the teaser trailer I saw on Facebook: I had no idea this was even a thing. While it does look like it'll be centered around a female Han Solo, it still looks pretty interesting. I like that she appears to have a commando droid as...

Hi all, I enjoy creating homebrew magic items, but it can be difficult to tell sometimes whether an item should require attunement or not. For instance, I recently ran my players through The Murkmire Malevolence from Keys from the Golden Vault. In that adventure, it is possible to steal a +1...

Hi all! I am planning to run all thirteen of the adventures in Keys from the Golden Vault as part of an episodic campaign set in Eberron. Whenever we finish one of the adventures, I will update this thread with both my conversion notes and my thoughts on how it played. If you've run any of...

Hi all, I've had this campaign idea simmering in the back of my head for a while now, and I feel like it's now time to put my thoughts on some digital paper and share what I've got. The basic premise is that there's a land similar in terrain and climate to Afghanistan where the orcs once had a...

Hi all, So during tonight's session of Dungeon of the Mad Mage, I had three players. They began exploring the 16th floor, where a bunch of githyanki have set up camp. There are several pits full of silvery mist. Fall in a pit and you are transported to the Astral Plane. There are some githyanki...

Last night, three of my players’ 14th-level PCs went up against a death tyrant in its lair. They quickly discovered its weakness. Without the antimagic cone that a living beholder would have, the death tyrant had no way to get the PCs to stop turtling inside the warlock’s sphere of darkness...

The next volume of the animated Visions series will be released on May 4th. Here's the trailer: Looks like they're not limiting themselves to Japanese style animators this time. I'm not so sure about the Wallace & Gromit claymation one, but there's definitely some good-looking stuff in...

Hi all, I’m am running my first ever campaign in Eberron! It's an episodic campaign, and I’m still in the process of compiling a list of possible adventures I can run over the course of the campaign. I'm trying to stick to shorter ones that can be run in 1-3 sessions. There are a few levels...

Never mind.

Hi all, I note there hasn't been much chatter about the Strixhaven book or its adventure since it came out over a year ago. Because I am intending to use it as a frame for an upcoming campaign, I thought I'd start a thread on enhancing the adventure that comes with the book. For starters, I'm...

Hi all, Lately I've been toying with the idea of revisiting Star Wars Saga Edition to run a Bad Batch-style game of rogue experimental clones doing A-Team type stuff in the early days of the Empire. I haven't played SWSE in years now, and I recall there being some wonkiness with the math...

Hi all, I am running Dungeon of the Mad Mage for one of my groups. The PCs are pretty close to hitting level 13, and one of my players has found an annoyingly effective combination of class features and combat tactics that make his PC something of an unkillable one-trick pony who makes fights...

Anyone else watch the BBC's SAS: Rogue Heroes miniseries? It is a "mostly true" account of the British SAS's formation in North Africa during WW2. Stars Alfie Allen among others. I'm only halfway through it myself. I've been enjoying it. A bit irreverant. Lots of AC/DC, which might seem a bit...
