Both of these seem like a good place to start!

Not a fan of Ed , the Dalelands, or the Forgotten Realms?

This was several years ago at this point so the memory is a bit fuzzy and I am the DM. The issue was primarily with the players. However, my main recollection was it was a bit to crunchy with to many parts and pieces. We don't really use or need travel or social interaction rules and the extra...

Mike, can you, or anyone, sell me on what there is to like about Dragonbane? I remember looking into when it first came out and bought it. But something turned me off it and I have never played it. What is there to like about Dragonbane?

Everyone plays differently, but that has not been our experience with 5e. For us it plays like an improved version of 1e. During 1e I had 20+ pages of house rules to make the game how we like to play. For 5e I have 1 page. With that we have no issue craft a game of strategy, investigation...

Funny that you mention A5e, I feel that goes farther away from old school D&D than 5e or 5.5e! I have A5e but me and my group felt it was taking us away from our old school playing style so we when back to 5e. Regarding the art, that isn't actually a trend IMO. There are many styles of art in...

I don't know what circles you swim in, but I think the chances of your dreams coming true here are about as likely as the earth being flat. As of right now, from what has been said by WotC people, I am not even 100% sure this is a traditional WotC product. We will have to wait and see. I do...

You do realize that most of the people that post on this site are more like you than not? I'm in my fifties and started playing with BECMI and 1st edition AD&D. I grew up on Easley, Elmore, Caldwell, and Parkinson. Easley used to be my favorite of the 4 (ended of being 3rd or 4th), but I think...

I'm a bit of the opposite, this may be the worst 5e cover IMO. However, of the 4 big old school D&D artist Easley was 3rd or 4th on my list. That being said, I do like appealing to my nostalgia!

If it ends up as an official D&D book I would guess it would use a trade dress similar to the Forgotten Realms books.

That could be a pretty good premises for any D&D campaign, not just horror.

IIRC, they are also in the 2014 DMG and augmented / updated in VRGtR

Sometimes the hardest things to find are right in front of us! I know it happens to me alarmingly frequently!

There is also a survey to give your opinion of the quick builder

A few questions: What is your goal? Why do you need a new paragon celestial from Aborea? What is the role of these new celetials? Are Demons, Guardinals, Archons, Devils, Daemons, Modrons, Slaadi, Rilmani types of Divinus or are you saying Divini have types just like Demons, Guardinals...
