Unfortunately, I’m going through a sentimental return to D&D 5e. My players are at level 15, and we’ll play through to 20, but now every session is a struggle for me — even though things were fine up to around levels 10–12. Before the campaign, I thought that after finishing it we’d play D&D...

Thanks for the detailed analysis — it really captures the differences between the systems and their approach to high-level play. For me, though, the real issue isn’t the math or the balance, but the nature of what these games turn into at higher levels. I agree that a lot of people simply...

In various discussions, there’s often information that most D&D players don’t play beyond level 12. Does Pathfinder 2e have a similar issue, or is this just something specific to D&D?

In my long career as a dungeon master we have reached 10 levels with the group quite a few times, 2-3 times to 13, once to 16 and now we will do 1-20 (we will finish in December). Personally, I'm a fan of less magic overloaded games and don't like too much how D&D changes with levels. I also...

But actually why don't people want to play at higher levels? Is it a problem of lack of content? Boredom with the game and a desire to start a new group after reaching level 1-12? Problems keeping the same group composition for a long time? Or is it that D&D with each new level, each new...

For me, it's a matter of sentiment. I go back to D&D every few years. This time the reason is the new rules and the desire to run a campaign from 1 to 20 levels. Then I disappear again for a few years, I want to run Imperium Maledictum, Arkham Horror RPG and Pathfinder for Savage Worlds (Curse...

Chapter 4 Battle at Steel Springs Is there any rational reason. why Marshal Vendri went west with her troops? Was the only reason to get rid of the army from Kalaman so that the events of The Lord's Arrival could be played out? I would be grateful for some good explanation. By the way, how...

I bought Players in a preorder in June. When should I get the redeem code?

I received a confirmation of order (bundle), but there is nothing there about DOWNLOAD AND ACTIVATION OF DIGITAL PRODUCTS. Is this some kind of error or do I get the codes in another email.

I would suggest that a large proportion of the players on the forum, including myself, are from a previous era. People who have become part of DND in the last decade have different needs, attitudes, expectations. The adventures that are now being created are tailored to them. The same is true...

Don't you get the impression that the Wizards team has no problems with design at all. These adventures are simply meant to be that way. D&D has come out of its niche and become part of mass culture. It changed everything.

We were certainly a lot younger and less demanding back then.

Isn't it the case that adventures for D&D simply have to be what they are? They are the equivalent of movie blockbusters with all the implications of that. They need to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, at different levels of experience. They currently cost $60, so they can't end too...

"Classic dnd feel" is not what I am looking for. I value many adventures to Planescape mainly because they presented a different approach to playing D&D. And that's exactly what I want. The first 5-6 adventures to 5e that I know of are totally not my cup of tea. Regardless of genre, setting...

I would like to run one of the campaigns up to 5e and can't decide which one. I know most of the ones released by the end of 2019 and I'm not thrilled. I've tentatively chosen 3. One from earlier and 2 from recent years that I'm not familiar with. Please help me with my choice. Some background...
