That was rough. Those spells are 1st draft quality at best, a lot of them are simply (poor) derivatives of existing spells at best.

It's not outstanding in terms of story or places, but the original Phandelver overall feels very, very D&D. I think that is its greatest strength - it hits all the high notes at just the right time, with enough openness to take in many directions during and after the adventure. It's a shame...

Yeah, that seems likely. If we get it (and I still have my doubts), I'd have to take a long, hard look at it. I like the original boxed set, didn't like the revised set and was indifferent to the 4E version. In the post-Tasha age, WotC's been really hit or miss with campaign material.

Dark Sun always struck me as a place more for anti-heroes or for adventuring despite the status quo - trying to stay out from under the eyes of the Sorcerer Kings. Though the Prism Pentad seems to somewhat counter that sentiment...

Dark Sun really? WotC hasn't been willing to touch that for a few years now. What evidence is there they've changed their mind about it?

As an oddity to collect, didn't one version of the 3.0 PHB have a copy of e-tools in the back (on a CD)? Or maybe the DMG? I'll also agree Ghostwalk is good. Tome of Horrors Complete (I, II & III) by Necromancer Games is great - it contains many 1E creatures semi-officially converted to 3E...

I was posting back on PlanetAD&D back in the day. I'd gotten frustrated with 2E and was mostly playing the likes of Vampire or just about any other RPG I could interest others in. When 3E was announced, I watched with great interest. Got the books as soon as they came out. All the other RPGs...

Surprisingly, this was the one that made me think lizardmen were cool - for their ability to work together and threaten heroes....

Ah, Black Dougal and Morgan Ironwolf, how we miss thee. Though 3E was the height of WotC/D&D's attempts to formalize the IP (Lockwood's dragons, for ex.), and I think the iconics were a large part of that. Prior to that, possibly LJN's toyline filled that role (Go Warduke!). Of course, in a...

Ages ago there was the Forgotten Realm Atlas that was done in Campaign Cartographer (which I still have...). Those maps are vector-based and can be scaled up/down and hot-linked, it would be nice if they could reuse those somehow for the updated ones on Beyond. It had a LOT of maps -...

There was a "Return to the Keep on the Borderlands" done for the 25th Anniversary. I never ran it myself, so I'm not very familiar with it, but by the table of contents, apparently the Orc caves were abandoned. I'm not sure what other changes were made to the caves and surrounding area...

I like the Forgotten Realms, but I stick with the Gray Box (and 1E/2E region sourcebooks). Won't be picking up the new books, no interest.

I have three species - Dragonborn, Tyres Haul and Al'Galue. The Al'galue came to Amberos from another realm, fleeing some ancient disaster to their old world. They brought strange machines with them and were persecuted by humanity for these devilish devices. Those that survived these ancient...

Touching allies has been one of the things over the editions that hasn't required an attack roll (maybe in 3E vs. touch, can't remember for sure). But I've always seem to recall in older editions that offensive touch spells required some kind of attack or significant contact has been required...
