Star Wars comes to mind. The original one with Han doing his thing and Luke wanting to join the rebellion. Chewie just chilling out. OB1 getting dragged out of retirement. Even Lord of the Rings has this element.

If it is to make a character to play as a player I would like something that I can click a button and something pops up on a screen that looks like a character sheet. Drop downs on things like class and race that I can click on and the sheet updates to reflect. Then if I want to click on more...

The least mysterious and spooky, creepy and kooky, and all together ooky.

I would like the larger focus to be on goals and today things and NPCs. Origen and why are cool, but can be one paragraph. I feel that the bulk should be on how the group interacts with the PCs and how they can interact with it.

Which is better? Some might be based on what effective HP is and how to determine that. I'm guessing things like rage taking half damage or rogue's ability to half damage at level 5 comes into play or fighters second wind and how many times you short rest to get things back. I'm guessing this...

Somehow I'm thinking of that cooking show where food comes down through three levels of chefs and the bottom level has to make something with the scraps. There was some prison movie like this but did not watch.

Sounds interesting. I like some of the other contests we have. A 5-room dungeon for 11th level PCs with unlimited short rests. I do not know a lot about Eberron, but I'll be interested to see what others come up with.

Maybe it is Prince Herbert shooting. He packs quite a punch with his arrows.

I just hope it is not a reprint of all the stuff in the 2e Guide books. I recall that the Pocket Kingdoms was a lot of reprint stuff just packaged up for DMsGuild.

I tend to guesstimate a lot when adding updated monsters like the half ogre/giant. You might want something with the ogre base and add a couple more cool things to give it more of a punch. Doubling the HP is the easiest and leave everything else alone. Easy but make combat longer and a bit...

Isn't Indie RPGs like 10% of the market? How does one grow that without killing D&D? Or, when he says, Grow the hobby, I'm missing something larger and more wishy-washy. There seems to be a lot of new D&D-like or Not-D&D games coming out as clones. Does making more games just split the...

This was kind of updated and redone for the 5e Next playtest under Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle. I have it, but not played it. I did run the original back in '87(ish) which I recall having some side quests and a main site with orcs. Not all the side quests deal with orcs.

It is kind of cool, but I do not know what 'extended frontier' is or if it is assumed a certain level for the numbers to mean much. I'm also not sure what it is trying to say, ie if one is better than the other.
