Absolutely! Between his work for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, B11: King's Festival & B12: Queen's Harvest for B/X, and the beloved Night Below, Carl Sargent wrote some fantastic adventures. I still have my original hardcover of Power Behind the Throne for WFRP (along with the companion volume...

To be fair, and in the interest of giving credit where credit is due, he co-wrote it with James Jacobs, so they both deserve the accolades for that one. For an edition that is famous for terrible adventures, Reavers of Harkenwold is one of the two best to come out of 4th edition (Madness at...

Rich Baker has written some of the best adventures for each of the last three editions of D&D—not to mention his work on Alternity and his own Primeval Thule setting—and deserves way more credit than he gets. Every adventure of his I've run has been great, including Lost Mine of Phandelver and...

I generally don't engage with other forms of social media, eschewing Facebook, Twitter, and the like. Also, I haven't read "threads upon threads" about the modern art direction of D&D; I've only read this one. So, while I'll concede that there may be some previous pattern of behavior that I...

I may have missed something, but I don't think anyone here is saying, "embrace tradition; reject modernity." What I've seen are people saying that certain elements in some D&D art don't match their personal expectations for what is, ostensibly, a "medieval fantasy" RPG. I haven't seen anyone...

What I literally don't understand is how anyone can interpret someone saying "I'm not a fan of high-heeled shoes or other modern clothing in D&D art" as somehow engaging in ethnic gatekeeping. Or how one could possibly make the leap from "you don't like modern eyewear in D&D art" to "you're...

Clearly, it's Rowan Atkinson. I'll explain why later.

Seriously? If you don't like someone or disagree with them, it's okay to steal from them? I don't care for the guy who lives down the street with the Trump sign in his yard, so I guess I just can steal his car with a clear conscience...

That's a kind offer from a generous person! I think you'll find it suits Barrowmaze very well, but I also think you can't go wrong with any of the systems you're considering.

So far, it's been going really well. When we switched, my players really appreciated the expanded spell lists and additional class abilities, and I've found that it still runs quickly and smoothly, since it's essentially the B/X chassis. We haven't really noticed a disparity between how often...

For Barrowmaze, I'd say the best option is Dragonslayer, which is a mashup of B/X and AD&D that Greg Gillespie released specifically to deliver his megadungeons as they are intended. As he describes it, "Dragonslayer uses the engine of B/X with the chrome of First Edition." I started running...

Awesome! Thank you both!

Quick question for anyone who's already bought the "RPG Worlds by Kobold Press" Humble Bundle... Is The Forbidden Caverns of Archaia included in the bundle the OSR version or the 5E version? The thumbnail image is the monochrome cover, which suggests that it's the OSR version, but I wanted to be...

I saw this thread and thought I'd drop in to mention that I started using Level Up in my weekly game about two hours after the Kickstarter closed and I got the PDFs. I ran the climactic battle of our current scenario using the Monstrous Menagerie version of the Night Hag, alongside Corrupted...
