    D&D General Looking for Skype alternatives

    My group uses a commercial Zoom account one of my players has for his work, but as I read through this thread, it got me thinking that the Jitsi Meet platform might be a viable solution for many. About Jitsi Meet | Free Video Conferencing Solutions It's free, open source, web based...

    D&D 5E If you could run or play in any D&D 5e campaign right now, which would it be?

    It will be some time until I am able to run another campaign, but when I can I am pretty interested in Shadow of the Dragon Queen. I know it's seen as railroad-y and has some issues regarding well established DL lore, but I think it tells an interesting story with an epic conclusion (and one you...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    @Reynard another thought I had that might be more of an answer is to point you towards the YouTuber Oldegreybeard. He has a video (linked here) discussing the 4E GSL and the 5.1 SRD and what modifications he is making to create a 4E compatibles ruleset without having a 4E SRD released under a...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    I know I don't have an exact answer for your question, but something that I recalled while reading it may be of use to you, and if you know all of what I'm about to write, then apologies again. In 2015, Necromancer Games released a monster book called "Fifth Edition Foes". This was a year...

    D&D 5E Which was the most recent Wizards adventure you consider a classic?

    An official 5E adventure I've yet to see mentioned (possibly because it was digital only) is the Lost Laboratory of Kwalish. It was the Extra Life adventure Wizards released in 2018. I used it in the middle of a Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign when the party headed inland for reasons, and it was...

    D&D 4E What is today the best way to start D&D 4E (paid and free)?

    I have to agree with the suggestion to run Madness at Gardmore Abbey it's amazing. I came to 4E late in it's life and as we played a 2 year campaign we went through Keep on the Shadowfell and felt it was a long, combat heavy affair. We pivoted to the Orcs of Stonefang Pass, and while it was...

    D&D (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    I believe they tried this once back when DDB was owned by Fandom (or maybe Curse?) It was called Legends of Runeterra: Dark Tides of Bilgewater. I remember reading it before it got yanked down for some license grievance. Had a little setting information and a short adventure too.

    D&D (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    I found this unofficial Star Wars setting for 5E a while ago. My understanding was it was a fan project that's been ongoing for several years. Star Wars 5e The people who produced it also have a Mass Effect 5E conversion.

    D&D General Have you ever used Acquisitions Incorporated?

    Well, I know what my next campaign is going to be. That sounds like a ton of fun.

    D&D (2024) Sigil Review Thread (+)

    We were having the same problem with that fog tool lol. We noticed it had weird interactions with other game objects too. If the fog was placed around objects that already existed in the scene (like minis) we couldn't select them after the fog was placed unless the fog was deleted, as noted...

    D&D (2024) Sigil Review Thread (+)

    My group and I received Alpha/Beta codes a few months back and tooled around with it for a bit. We found it novel but severely lacking in what we thought were critical features, the two biggest offenders in our opinion being the following: - No fog of war: The DM needs a way to obscure the map...

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    I actually received an alpha test code for the 3D VTT a few weeks ago. Completely forgot I had even signed up to test it! My group used it for a night but then bounced off it by the end. It's got some potential, and I have to remind myself it was an Alpha test, but my group concluded that 2D...

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons Sneak Peek at Gameholecon: 50th Anniversary Adventure, Rod of Seven Parts, The Endless Stair, Tsojcanth, Barrier Peaks?

    Oh interesting, I had no idea! Thanks for sharing. I do enjoy them bringing cameos like that back in when they revisit stuff. Helps me learn more about the game's history. I'm off to the DMs Guild now to get that supplement and learn more!

    D&D General Dungeons & Dragons Sneak Peek at Gameholecon: 50th Anniversary Adventure, Rod of Seven Parts, The Endless Stair, Tsojcanth, Barrier Peaks?

    Very true! My point was that Farrow is the first character I can recall being firmly tied to Mystara, as in canonically mentioned in the text of an adventure. In the case of GoSM and JttRC they offer suggestions on how one might port an adventure into Mystara. So to your point, yeah they've...
