    5E Powered Gamma World: What Should It Look Like

    WotC shouldn't give it to someone else. Don't use 5E; GW deserves a bespoke system. But if you must ... go all in on gonzo & mutations. Plant people -- great! Human-animal or human-plat hybrids -- great! Start with mutations like feats, add then (or enhance them) over time. Character building...

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    That's good to hear; I'm still waiting for a shipping notification from the game store I pre-ordered from. Hopefully that will occur soon. Will echo the Moria book -- fantastic -- and I just picked up Realms of the Three Rings which had some great source material.

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    Funny that GPT mixes D&D systems. That wolf stat block is AD&D (though they misspell "% liar" :p ) but the skill check is from a later edition. In my encounter, the oak stat block is 5.0, the skill checks could be 3.0 to 5.0.; the saves are 5.0. So let's paste it back into Forest Oracle for a...

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    New One Ring and Lord of the Rings Starter Sets Launching at Gen Con

    Same (US). Pre-ordered on 8 July and the place I ordered from still shows "awaiting fulfillment", so perhaps their shipment isn't in yet, or they haven't gotten to those pre-orders.
