Loving getting back into the game on Survival. Totally changes the way I play. Also found a brilliant video for developing Hangman’s Alley that turns it from a cramped corridor to a vast palace. The rest of the series are pretty good too. Surprisingly easy to listen to and follow. For new...

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e’s encumbrance uses points and is very good. Easy to track and actually matters. Capacity as a function of Strength with items being worth 1, 2, or 3 points. Clothing and armour uses one point less if worn rather than carried because you’re spreading the load out...

I’m having a lot of fun running various D&D adjacent games in the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay system. Notably Skull and Shackles from Pathfinder 1 is much more fun in that grittier system. Currently converting Dragonheist and Keys from the Golden Vault for similar reasons. I’ve also converted...

I like the curation of asking the community. Hopefully it weeds out the bumph.

You know I actually knew that one already. It’s a great little adventure. Fun fact it was written by Professor Dungeon Master of Dungeoncraft fame. Heavily inspired by the Name of the Rose. Only downside is I’ve ran it already. But it’s exactly The kind of thing I was looking for.

Are they set in the library or just accessed through the library. I thought the Candlekeep mysteries were all set off campus and the book was just the hook/gimmick?

I’m looking for an adventure set in a temple, monastary or library or substantially featuring a one of these? It has to be a working temple/monastary/library, not ruined. Staffed by folks. Ideally of a good or neutral good. Any edition of D&D or D&D adjacent. Ideally a good adventure. Any...

Have they changed the setup so that only 5 posts appear per page? I feel I always pressing the next button. 😜

They’ve got some pretty huge brands. Though the article does mentioning up to 3.9x leverage through the deal and therefore that profit is around £260m. I can believe that based on the IP they own.

I’m surprised none of the D&D surveys over the last few years every asked the question.

I’ll flip that and say most of the DMs I know run published adventures more than homebrew and most I see that do homebrew add these elements into published campaigns.

Well there’s nothing like 13 pages of baseless speculation and mud throwing by the uninformed to demonstrate the worst we have to offer. I wonder how you folks would react if you quit your job and people responded this way. Maybe she’s gone to work for a company with a less hostile fanbase.

Really sorry to hear that Fitz. It’s so unfair. I’m sure it’s a relief your business can bear it but it sucks that you have to, when you could have used that $4k somewhere else. If be wary about spending a fortune on security. In my time I’ve seen burglars cut through ceilings, cut through stud...

It’s great reading adventures that are character, event and motivation driven even when they involve lots of combat. Rather than kick down this door and kill the things inside. Search for treasure. Repeat. The funny thing is I would enjoy D&D more of it adopted this more ‘modern’ approach (even...

Drow gonna drow. Lol. I seem to remember the same.
