I don’t think his video is addressed to wizards or any publisher. It appears he is talking to players, possibly even inexperienced players. In the same way that a lot of his videos are directed to new players and GMs I think he’s saying that the reason he is saying what he is saying is that...

Fair enough, yes he doesn’t specifically address that starter adventure.

Well he doesn’t ignore it he specifically addresses it and says that even the adventure in the beginners box is too long for a starter DM. I suspect he would say just the cragmaw caves would be a suitable length for a starter DM - make it less a “you stumble across some goblins and then roust...

Go to DM’s guild or drivethru. Plenty of short adventures there.

I liked that he was Flannae - mixed it up a bit. Not every Suel is the same and not every powerful bad wizard had to come from the Suloise tradition. The Suel have got plenty of powerful history and bad guy types in Greyhawk. They have the invoked devastation, the Maure family and the Scarlet...

My understanding is that Vecna was from Greyhawk and was referred to as Flannae, specifically Ur-Flannae who were a group of Flannae mystics and necromancers. Flannae people have a bronzed complexion varying from a light copper shade to a very deep brown, with dark wavy or curly hair. Flan eye...

I missed the fantasy companion but by adding it on to this ks I can get it & other companions I missed - which is part of why I backed it to the level I have. I doubt im typical but only about 1/3 of the amount I have pledged in this kickstarter is for the sci fi stuff.

Very sad news, her work was awesome. My first encounter with her work was as a player in Dark Tower in an after school rpg club in about 1981. I later got to play in Duck Tower sometime in the mid 80’s. Most of her stuff is available on drive thru rpg but not the Legendary Duck Tower, whoever...

Unless your campaign is cosmic level you don’t need a cosmic level artifact to evoke the risk of potentially campaign changing devastation the characters can be seeking to overcome. At low level an Item that attracts a hydra can be a devastating threat item, the AD&D series desert of desolation...

Reminder bump: A handful of hours until Shadow of the Weird Wizard KS ends and it’s about $5k short of its final stretch goal. This is what Rob Schwalb said in his last update about what you get “We still have time to unlock the last stretch goal, so I'm extra grateful for your help in...

I’m not sure what you mean. The stats are still Str,Agi,Int and Will not Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, & Cha. Because each single point a stat is above or below 10 results in a +1 or -1 (Ie 11 gives +1 like a 12 in 5e D&D and 12 gives +2 like a 14 in 5e D&D) instead of a starting character having a...

I’m excited about Shadow of the Weird Wizard. I know the basic system works well from Shadow of the Demon Lord and I’m looking forward to seeing the upgrade. The setting seems to have a real Greyhawk vibe with the characters exploring a region and perhaps a city once ruled by the now vanished...

Forbidden Rules has a method to roll up starting characteristics

12. My School had a copy of the D&D box set, the one with the blue rules book and B1 as the starter module. We had a free double period at school and a friend of mine introduced a couple of us to the game. I played the pre gen Krago of the Mountains.

“Fighter, Wizard, or Rogue, along with an ally by their side.” Did they just make the cleric/healbot an NPC? Wow, saying the quiet parts out loud
