It's been a while since I taught a new player how to play D&D. This set's booklets seem to do a good job teaching a new DM how to run the game, but unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't seem to provide much guidance on how a new DM can teach new players about the rules and such. When you guys run...

OK, so the adventure includes not one but two abandoned wagon encounters. There's the one that Pral and his gang looted on the wilderness trail, and there's the one that Oleira is expecting that's running late because its driver got eaten by a stowaway ooze. The latter has some quirks. I'm...

Sounds a lot like the start to Lost Mine of Phandelver!

I'm not familiar with the OG Keep on the Borderlands module, so I don't know if it's the same there, but reading through the booklets in this Starter Set, I get the impression that it assumes the PCs are arriving from the east, unknowingly passing the Caves of Chaos and then trekking along the...

Fallout 4 is still the only Fallout game I've played. I've played through it three times - Minutemen, Railroad, and BoS. Don't think I could ever side with the Institute. I've tried and failed to play it without engaging with the settlement mini-game. Building settlements is so much fun - and...

This looks fantastic! I love that Star Wars found an animation style that works for them and have stuck with it. I also feel that animation is where Star Wars truly shines. This looks like it will be about Mail finding himself a new Jedi survivor apprentice (the Twi’lek). I wonder if we will...

I don’t know what each of them will pick. I like that the set gives the players a choice of two subclasses at 3rd level (e.g. assassin or thief for the rogue).

I'll be running this for my daughters and their friends on Monday (Auckland Anniversary holiday).

I've been toying with doing a RHoD conversion. I ran it once in 3.5e. It was a tough but fun adventure. One thing I'd been toying with was swapping out the goblinoid army and the dragonspawn and mixing in elements of both DragonLance and Tyranny of Dragons, so the main invading army would be...

Must be geoblocked cos I can’t see it on YouTube. Just trailers and reviews.

I just watched a video clip from this yesterday! So hilarious.

The Burn was an event that caused most of the galaxy’s dilithium to suddenly go inert, which in turn caused all active warp cores to explode. Lots of people died, and the galaxy collapsed back into a sort of Dark Ages since warp travel became so rare. By the time Discovery shows up, even Earth...

You're talking about Solo here right? The movie where everyone except Han, Chewie, and Lando is new to the Star Wars universe? (Oh, and Maul at the very end, but that hardly counts.) I quite liked Enfys Nest. Would be cool to see her and her proto-rebels again.

Exactly. Instead, they made him the butt of Poe's jokes.

Yep. Paramount+ is not available in NZ. When I go to the website, my only option is to sign up for their email newsletter.
