Depending on zoning requirements and such, they may have to allot for X number of parking spaces. Plus setbacks from the property edges. Also a possible green space. 5 acres can quickly become 2~3 usable once legal requirements are satisfied. On the plus side, if it is land previously used...

To answer the original question, not normally. I normally won't buy a new version until a group I play with starts using the new version.

Found this under the Shipping and Timelines section: "Timelines We will charge shipping and relevant taxes after the campaign in the pledge manager. We estimate that fulfillment will begin in February 2026. The World's Largest Dungeon has been being worked on for over 18 months. The layout will...

I am in the other camp. Pretty much bleep over 5e stuff. Groups I play with use other systems. Switched away from D&D after the 3.5 -> 4.0 licensing issues. If I did use 5e stuff, I would have a hard time justifying spending $300 for the World's Largest Dungeon that comes pre-packaged with...

Who/what resets the traps is an often overlooked question. As I was watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for the first time, I wondered how the "Only the penitent man shall pass." head chopping trap got reset so many times. Not to mention the Jehovah spelling puzzle trap. Once a letter...

Don't remember if it was ever shown in the show Enterprise, but it is likely that the NX version had whole ship landing capability like the Voyager did. Transporters weren't the reliable thing that later timelines had and those landing pods weren't the best either. As far as favorite, have to...

Have a good plan on recording what/where every character is when you have to pause. It is almost inevitable that play will have to stop mid combat or mid negotiations due to some urgent work meeting or such or just lunch time running out. Being able to restore to that check point quickly will...

Mid to high level rpg characters often have abilities that allow flight, teleportation or other forms of non classic maneuvering. Same for many creatures. Very possible a party of such characters would be a 'special forces' unit tasked with killing/kidnapping the opposing leader, recovering...

Yes. Have done it. Fairly common back when there wasn't the big assortment of modules, adventures and such. If someone spent the money to buy a module that needed Level X characters and offered to run with pregens, we played. If we had fun with the characters, we kept them around for later use.

First rpg was D&D, late 70's. It wasn't long before I did the character generation game that you play before you play Traveller. Space travel in the future is deadly. Next was Traveller proper. Pretty sure there was some other rpg but not sure what. Hazy college memories. Spent a LOT of...

Don't overlook the impacts that dungeon ecology can have on topside ecology. Real world example would be cave complexes that are home to thousands of bats. The bats eats things topside and then provide food for things inside. Plus sometimes a usable pile of waste for humans needing fertilizer...

One of my groups used a TV laid flat on a home brew stand with plexiglass laid over the screen. Not built into the table. It works well compared to paper maps or hand drawn stuff on battle mats. We found that having the map image in a jpg or png format worked better if using the OS image...

To be fair, the quality of the photography of the received minis is pretty poor as well. But the first model does seem rather poor, even for a cheap China made/painted mini. When I bought my WOTC pre-paints back when the D&D minis and game came out, I pretty much got what I expected. A...

Congrats to both of you for resuming your RPG playing. Possible that his play style is how his games went those 20+ years ago. Or at least how he remembers them going. A lot of my early RPG games were a bit fast and loose. Maybe his were as well. Even if you don't want to kill the...

When it becomes obvious that the horse is dead and not just resting, that the resulting zombie horse has been killed as well, and the resulting skeleton horse ground into bone dust and scattered to the many winds. Now if the spirit of the horse comes back as a Lich.......
