I like Frog god games' products. In particular I am currently running a mega campaign with Crucible of Freya (starting adventure)+ Tomb of Abysthor (good megadungeon), Rappan Athuk (one of the best megadungeons), and the frame for the campaign is provided by Sword of Air (fantastic hexcrawl/open...

I started with BECMI, went to 2e, then played with all subsequent editions except 4e. What 2e does better then 3e and 5e? Psionics. Also, Settings; for example, when I want to play Dark Sun I use 2e. Play is faster. Art also is generally better. What 2e does better then 1e? Psionics. THAC0...

S: Curse of Strahd, Tomb of Annihilation, Lost Mines of Phandelver A: Descent into Avernus, Rime of the Frostmaiden, The Light Beyond the Wytchlight B: Ghosts of Saltmarsh, Tales of the Yawning Portal, Dragon Heist, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Storm King's Thunder C: Out of the Abyss, Tyranny of...

Baba Yaga visited Earth; in her Hut there are Soviet Tanks and other things. In Pathfinder 1 Adventure path Reign of Winter, about Baba Yaga, you have sounder proof that Earth exists. Besides, if I remember correctly, there is a Becmi Immortal adventure in which you can visit New York. The...

- D&D3.0 has a more old school, sword&sorcery vibe, D&D 3.5 and P1 are more high fantasy. Plus, they trimmed some abusable spells and item. P1 characters are generally a bit stronger. Also, P1 is a bit more complex. - Your preference can be different about the classes (for example I reslly...

Elmore. Caldwell just behind. Then Easley.

Besides the DS Boxed Set, the essentials for me are Dragon Kings; The Will & The Way; Earth, Air, Fire & Water; Dune Trader; Monstrous Compendium DS Appendix. I also love Valley of Dust & Fire. The only good adventures are Dragon's Crown and Merchant House of Amketch.

For 3.5: Eberron Campaign Setting Splatbooks: I really love Tome of Battle aka Book of 9 Swords. Fiendish Codex I & II, MM3, Draconimicon are quality products. The "Complete" series is good. Adventures: from Dungeon magazine, Age of Worms and Savage Tide - I consider these adventure paths the...

For 3.0 (no 3.5): Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting is excellent I personally like splatbooks such as the Book of Vile Darkness, Deities and Demigods, and Epic Level Handbook, but some don't like them I also suggest Crucible of Freya, Tomb of Abysthor and the first version (in three booklets)...

Actually, I love high level play, and I can say that 5e is easier then all previous editions at high level. My favourite campaigns ever are Age of Worms and Savage Tide (D&D3.5), both ending at Lvl 21-23. Or you could try Rappan Athuk, Sword of Air or City of Brass, all from Frog god Games...

I like very high stats! When I DM 5e/3.0/3.5/Pathfinder, I give the PCs 18, 14, 14, 10, 10, 10 to arrange as they like. When I DM BECMI/AD&D1e/2e, I use this method: roll 3d6 and change the lowest die to 6, six times, then arrange as desired. When I DM Dark Sun in AD&D2e, I use the last...

1) Tomb of Annihilation 2) Curse of Strahd 3) Descent into Avernus Runner up: 4) Rime of the Frostmaiden

In my opinion BECMI, AD&D1e, AD&D2e, D&D3.5 had an higher number of 10/10 products

Nostalgia can obscure judgement, but not necessarily

Hi there! We're at the end of the first 5e cycle (2014-2023) and before the 2024 rulebooks are published, we can reflect on various aspects in the history of the edition. In retrospect, I still believe that the 5e ruleset is the best ever produced, but I'm really disappointed at the overall...

I suggested some modules with memorable, epic dragon encounters. On the contrary, there are some modules centered on a Dragon villain that are average at best. For example, IMO, Dragon Mountain and all the adventures about Flame. Or even Tyranny of Dragons.

Into the Wormcrawl Fissure for Dragotha Hall of the Fire Giant King for Brazzemal the Burning Kings of the Rift for Brazzemal the Burning & others Rime of the Frostmaiden for Arveiaturace Sabre River for Incendiarous Die Vecna Die! for Rhule Test of the Warlords for Old Smokynose Tomb of the...

Rappan Athuk is one of my two favourite Megadungeons, the other being Eyes of the Stone Thief. (I usually do NOT like Megadungeons) I love these two because of 1) the brilliant set pieces and 2) a clear overarching story (in RA's case, to kill Orcus). Indeed RA truly has a first-edition feeling...

Don't retroclone; get the books on eBay or get the pdfs. Personally, these days, when I want to use an adventure from past editions, I use the ruleset it was written for. For example, I use D&D3.0 when I want to play the Ashardalon modules (The Sunless Citadel etc) or the original Rappan Athuk...

Shackled City. Some interesting ideas and set pieces, but overall cumbersome. It's for 6 players. Age of Worms. My favourite. Really epic in scope, with many, many memorable characters and situations. A love letter to D&D tradition. Deadly. You have to experience this. Savage Tide. Pirates +...
