Not exactly an adventure, but should give you an idea for a Thanksgiving adventure. https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1851-lets-prepare-an-adventure-using-the-2024-dungeon And, with a name like Gobblor The Roast Lord, what's not to like? :ROFLMAO:

Ouch, someone in KP got spanked for being bad. Nevertheless, good call on their part; they realized they f'ed up and owned up to it.

Passive-aggressiveness aside, I would have been more inclined to accept the "review" if the DMG had been propped up with false advertising, but WotC was very clear through multiple videos as to what it was: a guide for newer DMs primarily. Yet the author knowingly bashes a beginner friendly book...

It looks even more petty when you have Chris Perkins specifically say on one of the marketing videos that one of the goals with the inclusion of Greyhawk was a "show...don't tell" approach to build a campaign.

Yep. Both Chris Perkins and James Wyatt were very clear in those videos that the new DMG was primarily meant to onboard new DMs and those that wanted to try their hand at being a DM, but that experienced DMs could also benefit from it.

I've been following Exodus for about 8 months, and I believe it's going to be a good successor to Mass Effect. Also, there's a prequel novel by Peter Hamilton called Exodus: The Archimedes Engine that does a lot of world building for the setting. The author is also a consultant for the game.

Isn't the Scarlet Brotherhood a KKK expy? From the religious connotations to the clothing, symbols and beliefs? The only thing they share with the Nazis is the takeover of a nation

I didn't get to that, but that's textbook example of chauvinism

I started reading it then dropped it because you can almost hear the condescending tone of the author while reading it. Sure, there are changes that cause friction in continuity, but the problem is that the old Greyhawk had many problematic elements, and WotC tried to move away from them. I at...

Also, there's no Campaign guide for FR in 5E, and there have been people asking for one for years. It's also the most developed setting by WotC and it's author Ed Greenwood

Seems you took those from the Scions of EE, but there are more stat blocks there that are more dangerous. There's about 25 statblocks for enemy creatures that we have access to from the PHB and the free 2024 adventures released and if you notice many monsters have had their HP and abilities...

The sample adventures are pretty decent, and should be a good example on pacing for an adventuring day

Pathfinder and Tales of the Valiant would like to disagree on this. And sure, you can say because it's Paizo, a direct WotC competitor, but Call of Cthulhu has the Keeper Rulebook, which is their DMG. Drakkenheim series also follow this, and they're 5E (two books with a MM in development).

And the thing is, you can still use the cut content from 2014 if you really want to and should be compatible with some tweaks. For example, I know people--specially experienced DMs--bemoan that the in-depth monster creation rules aren't in the new DMG, but a new DM will probably not go out of...

I specifically remember Chris Perkins in one of WotC's videos say that very same expression: show not tell. He said the create campaign chapter provided guidelines, but rather than tell you how build one detail by detail, they would use the Greyhawk setting to show an example of what you need to...

I believe both Chris Perkins and James Wyatt mentioned that they dropped some things from 2014 going into the new books because they believe weren't necessary for new DMs or that hardly saw use. They didn't mention what those things were, but some of the tables that got removed are probably part...

I expect that sometime in the next 3 years we will get a combined XGE and TCE book that also has all the things they cut from the 2014 book. This will be the Advanced DM Guide

To get back on topic, Monty Martin from Dungeon Dudes mentioned on their encounter video that he used the new encounter rules on one of their live games, and it was challenging enough they had a few close calls. This to me looks promising

Yeah, guy thinks he's being funny 😂

I don't think the spell needs to be changed--specially when it was changed to work how players were already using it--just because some are deliberately trying to pull another peasant railgun.
