I agree that elements of the set are childish. Which is great for when I run it for my kids. When I run it for my regular group, it won't be hard to age it up.

Currently playing 13th Age. Will kickoff one or more campaigns next year for 5E 2024.

The Original Gray Box. Groundbreaking for it's day. Still an inspiring read. Neverwinter Campaign Setting. Not just a great FR book, but one of the most innovative campaign settings ever. Wish more products had followed the trail it blazed. Waterdeep: City of Splendors. Why has nobody mentioned...

Thank you for sharing!

She is an incredible wife, mother, and human being. But I don't think RPGs are her thing. Hey, nobody's perfect.

I was a player in a 9 month campaign of the latest edition of Twilight: 2000. I can't speak with complete authority on it from the GM side. But it's a simple system with just the right amount of crunch. Tactical combat on hexes. Base building and resource management. Gear could be easily...

Today I played for nearly two hours with my wife, daughter (age 8), and son (age 6). My wife had never played D&D before. My kids have played 5 or 6 times using Shadowdark. At this age, the rules are more of a guideline, regardless. I was curious to see how all the physical components like maps...

I'm starting this thread to hear about your experiences playing the new Starter Set, Heroes of the Borderlands. If you've actually played it, please post here!

This is a brilliant article.

As a DM, you need to decide how significant travel and exploration are in your campaign. Is it a scene in the adventure, the adventure itself, or even the campaign itself? Not a scene = The DM narrates the trip from Waterdeep to Daggerford. A scene = Bandits ambush the characters on the trip...

Good note. But I always felt like those tie-ins were half-baked. Much like the integration of Baldur's Gate into Descent Into Avernus. Or the fact that there still isn't a Baldur's Gate campaign inspired by BG3. Which reminds me... Prediction: 2026 is the year that the BG3-inspired campaign...

I want to see WotC actually get its act together with a coherent publishing strategy. Here's what I mean: Storm King's Thunder = adventure about giants Bigby's Glory of the Giants = supplement about giants They were published 7 years apart. Now hear me out. This might sound crazy. But what...

I don't think this was my first issue of Dragon, but it was the first that made an impression. I remember every article and it's been how many decades? What a cover!

Well, okay. I've DM'd 5.14 campaigns from 1-12, 1-20, and 1-12 (again). Have not played any 5.24 yet but have plans to do that in 2026. But I think it's a very hot take that Wizard is unplayable without multiclassing.

@JusticeArman got my copy in the mail today. It's great. You nailed it.
