The author's points are taken mostly from a financial one. He sells a product rooted in enhancing and modifying monsters from official product whereas the average DM can do anything they want. If I want to "pretend" the Guard Captain actually only has a 14 STR to keep it real and the extra +2...

Summary if you don't want to watch the full video. In general order: OP Question (can we port the above points to later editions like D&D?): The morale, reaction, and wandering monster roll exploits are no longer set rules but totally discretion of the DM There's fewer adventures (in my...

Crucible of Chaos (Paizo, D&D 3.5, levels 8-10). It's about finding a flying city that crashed long ago (and possibly, if the DM wants, extending homebrew adventures to make it fly again). I ran this as "filler" in another campaign, easily converted.

Strahd's Castle itself (Curse of Strahd, obviously). Not sure rehashing material from an older edition counts, but it's just a creepy romp into one of the most amazing 3-D maps ever generated, whether you're trying to survive Strahd stalking you or simply exploring during the day and going...

I never did and ended up making up my own Deep Roads adventure based on the original Dragon Age video game, removing the endless battles that video games have, waiving the travel times with a montage, focusing on the creepy lore (some of the best in any RPG, hands down), increasing RP chances...

Let us not forget "many are called, few are chosen" (Knights of the Dinner Table, a statement about the gamer Dave Bozwell who occasionally gets the urge to step behind the screen and always does a cringe-worthy job by making the adventures all about his former characters), and the game store...

That plus this sums it up. Yes, fundamentally, it's actually easy to do. That's what D&D marketed to the 11-year-old me with a reprint of the Red Box and a preface by Frank Mentzer: "And it’s not hard. It takes a little reading and a little thinking, but most of all, it’s fun. It’s fun when...

You'll have to define what "Session 0" would mean to you. Otherwise, I consider "player's guides" to be the closest thing, and I make one for every campaign I run, such as my Dragonlance Campaign Guide. It's got everything a player would need about the setting and making a character linked to...

I've run the tabletop campaign thoroughly and never come across two free official adventures for it. Death House was the only one. Now if you're referencing the Board Game (as per @Spectral Anomaly), it has repeatedly advertised "two bonus adventures" as they linked.
