No, not yet. We are trying to wrap up a 2-year 5e campaign and we are right at the cusp. I also want to run Dragonbane and Nimble and Dungeon Crawl Classics, so my fantasy game interests are spread very wide.

I have the three core books. This is a fantastic game. In fact, the character generation might be my favorite out of all the new games. My problem as DM is that getting my game group to switch is nigh impossible. My other alternative, since I only play online now, is to find a virtual group...

Icy Spelljammer Kaiju Boss Battle

I think we play again tonight. I want to run it myself as DM, but I want to be more familiar with the game first.

Basic monsters are pretty simple. A skeleton has 10 hit points and does 1d4+3 with an arrow. There's nothing else there. A wraith (level 10) has about 100 hp, can fly, and can deal ranged hp damage AND inflict wounds, which is the 5e equivalent of failing your death saves. 6 wounds and you're...

Many, many years ago I ran a Cthulhu one-shot that came out of a German magazine. It was a modern adventure, and the PCs played navy SEALS. You can read our recap here: https://jmhauser.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/project-pi.pdf If you can find the magazine, it's worth looking...

I have played once, and next week is a second session as a player (a Cheat). I really enjoyed it. I would try to get my main group to switch from 5e to this, but that might be hard to do. Also, and this is big, there's no official VTT support, so all of those thousands of 5e monsters I have...

This was our CoC one-shot. Hope you enjoy. It was a blast to run. I will probably dip back into Pulp again one of these days. https://app.box.com/s/6zpojt26z2y7oq6oxm5f69f78e82qwzk

I have used Roll20 for 5 years and love it. It usually works as needed, and the recent Jumpgate upgrade has only improved it. I have Foundry as well and have tried multiple time to teach myself how to use it, but the learning curve is significantly steeper than even Roll20.

I don't remember the launch day, but I remember Dragon magazine teasing the hell out of it for a long time leading up to 3e.

I loved ToA but we never finished in person. We had just gotten to the part of the Tomb and the first level. Still, we did Omu, which was absolutely fantastic, and the yuan-ti temple below. As others suggested, I would tweak the death curse. I wish a jungle hex crawl in 5e had more urgency...

That sounds like Castles & Crusades, which would have been 3e D&D if WotC hadn't stepped in to save TSR.

I have not read the novels, other than part of the first one. The Cosmere rules look rather good, but the depth of the setting is...frustrating to me as the DM. I would have to learn a significant amount of that just to relay it to my players who have also not read the novels. Is that worth...

Dang it! I didn't WANT to buy this, but it looks pretty darn cool.
