Dunno if it counts, but, Shattered Obelisk was certainly built around adventuring days. Each dungeon is about 6-8 encounters long...

ah. Fair enough. To me, there is about as much expectation to role play the pact as there is to role play the pact in 5e warlocks...

Umm, I'm not sure I understand the question. Regardless of the stucture, the only way to lose an encounter is to run out of HP. In an...

Y'know, it's been a hot minute since I looked at the Tome of Magic, so, I dug it out to see if I was misremembering. No, I wasn't...

I really miss the creativity of late 3.5. The Tomes of Magic and Battle, Incarnum, the Races of N series. Just tons of cool stuff. I...

One thing that 5e has provided that would make binders work better is the idea of simply keying all attacks off of a single stat. So...

Sorry, what? You made your Pact roll (I almost always simply declared I failed it because that was WAAAAAY more fun) and that was it...
