Do you mean Imperial Bedrooms? I haven't read that one yet but plan to read it after I finish Less Than Zero. Actually my main reason for rereading LTZ is to refamiliarize myself with the characters because I heard a lot of them show up again in IB.

See above.

Will possibly restart this at a later date. Need to put more thought into how to run it smoothly and most importantly make it more fun!

The last novel I read was The Shards by Bret Easton Ellis. Next I may reread his first novel Less Than Zero.

Picked up Moria: Shadow of Khazad-Dum (for the D&D 5E Lord Of The Rings Roleplaying game) today.

I don't recognize that particular map but at least three of the maps at the back of the 2014 DMG were recycled from issues of Dungeon magazine: The windmill on page 310 of the 2014 DMG is from an adventure called 'Prey for Smiley Bob' in Dungeon magazine issue #205. The town map on the upper...

Did some DMing for a party of four 6th level characters. It was a face-to-face session at a local game store. The party consisted of a dwarf fighter, a tiefling bard, a halfling rogue and a halfling cleric. We are still using the 2014 5E rules (except for Exhaustion, we use the 2024 rules for...

Bought back up copies of the 2014 PHB, DMG and MM because they are going out of print and I want to keep using the old 5E rules. Also bought the Pirate Borg core rulebook. Would like to use some of the ideas for a short D&D campaign set in Eberron's Lhazaar Principalities or Ghosts of Saltmarsh...

By 2034, I imagine most players will log on to D&D Beyond and then a WOTC 'official' AI dungeon master will run them through the adventure. Maybe fellow party members will also be AI? Maybe the PHB will have a QR code inside the front cover that you need to scan to authenticate yourself to get...

An interview with the author of this new Ravenloft book about a novel she published last year.

Kind of related, here's an interview with the writer of an official Ravenloft comic book series that was published in 2022.

The Hold Steady - The Swish.

Lae'zel plushies.

I'd always imagined that the staff at the TSR offices would take turns DMing and being players in each other's campaigns rather than having a 'forever DM' kind of situation. So it seems odd to discourage players from reading the DMG.
