Yeah, I get the feeling they don't care anymore, sadly.

Strongholds and followers was great, I think I was running off that thinking K&W would be a great expansion on it. I have some other products from them and generally quite like their stuff, I think the only thing that stopped us using their classes was that everyone was comfortable using...

I have only backed maybe a dozen kickstarters and I guess the one I regret the most is kingdoms and warfare. I don't think it's a bad book but when flipping through I quickly got the feeling that the systems presented weren't ones I would end up wanting to use.

That's good to know, looks like PoD is back on the menu! Ordering other books from the states though, still a no go.

Yeah, maybe, I know a fair amount of people who would likely make use of it. If there was one in Australia that would also work, we're fairly linked, it doesn't cost much more to ship from Australia to here. We could even join Australia if we gave up and didn't want to be our own nation.

This'll be another to see on the big screen. I loved the first one.

And to NZ, it's reqched the point where I'm often put off buying physical books because, sometimes, it ends up be as much or more. I used to be able to order books from the US and including shipping it would be cheaper than going local, but then that was before some other changes that have also...

Do you suppose a beholder sleeps with one eye open? All the little eye stalks closed but the large central eye remains open, unblinking, staring into the abyss.

Into the Wyrd and Wyld also has some dark creepy fey vibes. It's another resource I'm using for Dolmenwood, haven't looked at it since a campaign a couple years ago.

I think you could remove ability scores/modifiers and still be DnD, after all, pre-wotc it was far more likely that you wouldn't have a bonus or penalty and it didn't impact your character that much. You'd have to make some changes, especially since in 5e the stat bonuses are a large part of...

A while ago I posted an image of Valeria from a description of her in the REH story, Red Nails and since I've been reading a lot of the old marvel Conan comics, here he is. I think he's become the iconic barbarian so it didn't need much in the way of description, I just used his the classic...

I'd suggest finding a book on folk tales or a dictionary of fairy tales, I've been looking through a couple of dictionaries for my Dolmenwood campaign and they are loaded with ideas that should be fairly easy to turn into encounters for any version of DnD.

I have tended to play or run longer campaigns, but the few one offs I've played in have been great to try out different classes. Generally I think that they're pretty low effort in character creation, the DM can even provide premades for players if it's also a brand new system and you're wanting...
