D&D 2024 homebrew campaign: The Last Hyborean. Slayed Medusa and Rescued Slaves.

At the start of the year I was running some Pathfinder Society scenarios before my proper D&D campaign started. One player brought a Wild Magic Sorcerer in and I have to say that despite the randomness, we never found it disruptive to the game at all. I think the worst thing to happen was he set...

It's fun but I wouldn't want multiple wild magic sorcerers at a single table. Half the time the effects are cool or add something to the encounter, The other half... oh, you summoned a 10' square swarm of butterflies.... next!

The One Ring. Protect Caravans from Orc Raids.

Out of curiosity, why does it having a novel disqualify it?

Shackled City. I've run that campaign so many times and it has been popular with players every time. Perfect mix of urban, wilderness and dungeon, coupled with politics both mortal and planar. 100%

D&D 2024 Homebrew Campaign: The Last Hyborean. Give Me My Book Back!

We use wipe-clean battle maps. If it's a small dungeon or a house, I try to make sure it fits on a single such map sheet. Otherwise I describe the twists and turns, and only draw out a specific room or corridor section if the players ask for it, or combat is about to occur.

D&D 2024: Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign. Vile Dragon Dead! Heroes Triumphant!

Planescape book for D&D 5. Another nice bargain from Ebay. Just the Giants book to get next.

D&D 2024 homebrew campaign: The Last Hyborean. Trapped Inside Angry Haunted House!

The One Ring. Giant Spiders. Orks. Fake Gandalf.

An amazing deal, getting both Curse of Strahd and Dungeons of the Mad Mage for £10 each.

I'm the DM/GM about 75% of the time. I enjoying playing but I get a better experience from the GM side of the screen.

Yes, it can be interpreted that way but it's still not a bad thing. Player's can have agency but the DM can't? I've been using Milestone XP for nearly 20 years and myself and the people I play with, find it works much better, more organic, than tracking XP. Different groups will obviously vary.
