We have had a pretty solid weekday 6pm-8pm 5e game for over a decade. It used to be 4 hours on Sunday many moons ago. Now, I personally love the short 2 hour games with an end time. It's like watching a 2 hour movie, and when it's done it's done. We pick up where we stopped next time. It...

I run slower levels generally than what WotC proposes. I like 1st-8th D&D, and will only push to 9th or 10th if the story demands it. It also takes a long time to get that high level.

Zobeck was amazing. I found a map to upload to VTT and I could zoom in fairly close to street level for the tokens, so they had the whole city to roam around. It made me wish you could buy VTT products that were entire pre-made cities with all the locations already linked and clickable.

The players were in a wide open huge prairie with a ruined shrine behind them. They get attacked at distance by horse riders and longbows. Lots of horse riders. Who gallop away and turn around and fire again. I was trying to force them into the shrine and retreat as the only viable option...

Such an awesome movie. I loved it as a kid. The sequel is forgettable (as most sequels are) which is unfortunate because Marc Singer owned that role.

I am happy to say that we got to see a red dragon fight an aboleth IN SPACE.

I have used Wave Echo Cave three times. Two for Phandelver, but the most recent was an underground gangster base in the Rock of Bral. It wasn't a rushing river though; just had some standing water. I absolutely love that map. The PCs ended up going back TWICE to the map actually, so I got...

One of my absolute favorite fights from Curse of Strahd was when the PCs fought a vampire spawn at low level, had no good way to really hurt it, and used the druid's bear shape to wrestle it into a creek so that running water annihilated the spawn. It got carried downstream, screaming and...

That certainly is a good one. I just run games online and I don't actually use books anymore. I do drag and drop tokens from various monster manuals, that's the closest thing to using a book. If I had to GUESS, I have been using this recently and adapting monsters from it to 5e. Which is mostly...

My recent campaigns have all been rather long, 1.5- 2 years. That's fine, I like them, but I think moving forward I'm going to do 6 month stories and try different game systems. There's so many great games, and while I like 5e, it's just one of many. If time were no issue I would rerun the...

Firelich annihilated by space ballistae.

How rare is that to cross $2 million?

I am glad I have a stack of old board games that I have not used and can fall back on for a long while if necessary, but this is terrible, terrible news for small publishers. It could take years for the repercussions of this to balance out again.
