One Night in Westgate A Solo D&D Adventure for level 1 player characters Something's rotten in Westgate. Something’s always rotten in Westgate, but most of the time you can step around it, avoid it, pretend it isn’t there. Not this time. This time you’re pulled into it when a desperate old...

"Monster Manual". Yes.

Do we know if they'll have monsters named after classes? It's always been a pet peeve of mine. Druids and Bards are player characters, not monsters.

My concern is the section on creating creatures. It's one and a half pages of very simple guidance on modifying existing monsters, with nothing approaching mechanics for actually making new monsters. I'm hoping someone will jump in here and tell me those rules have been reserved for the Monster...

I still own all my DC Heroes books, which is a testament to my admiration of the game, since I've long-since purged most of my older gaming materials. I would say, however, that by modern standards the system is a bit clunky. It suffers from a forced symmetry that doesn't always work. Here's an...

Me too, but that's more like DLC than micro-transaction. In a micro-transaction game, you'd only be able to play human fighters and everything else would have a price tag on it.

Amen to that.

Jennell was one of the true greats. One of my favourites is her cover of Temple Tower & Tomb, which I've sadly never had a chance to play. I understand her model for the wizard was actually Jeff Grubb. Imagine being immortalized on the cover of a D&D book?
