    Wizards Goes Big with Vecna: Eve of Ruin

    Quick question for those who purchased this: if you only level up from xp, will you reach 20th level?

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    So all their products nowadays are flimsy halfbaked mini scenarios strung together with no meat to them. Got it.

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    You have to buy the book to find out it tells you to "do milestone" ie, crap out on substance.

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    I run narrative games and use xp. I am old school and when temple of elemental evil said 1-8 it meant it would take the PVs from first to eight. When Fate of Istus said it had adventures for first to eighth it meant you had to fill in the gaps between adventures. Alternately, you could milestone...

    WotC Vecna Eve of Ruin: Everything You Need To Know

    Milestone levelling is just a marketing gimmick that allows them to claim an adventure goes X levels then give paper thin adventures and act like they gave you substance. It's false advertising and why I stopped buying their adventures.

    D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming May 21st!

    Oh don't start that "bent out of shape" nonsense. YOU made the false claim that DL doesn't contradict earlier lore. Just admit you're wrong, it does. Wait, actually, you just did.

    D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming May 21st!

    You mean except good clerics entering the world before Goldmoon retrieves the Disks? There was a lot more, but right now I'm not going to go dig it up. How about letting the PCs find a dragonlance? Wasn't finding one and then learning how to forge new ones the ENTIRE POINT of the original...

    D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming May 21st!

    "2. Dragonlance specifically doesn't contradict earlier lore. That's the whole point of the module." What? I had to rewrite so much of that module for violating canon. SotDQ is terrible at lore.

    D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming May 21st!

    Here's a thing I did to my 5e players: Took them to Greyhawk, where vampires drain levels, Rings of Protection have multiple plusses and poison is save or die. They loved it. What does that say?

    D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming May 21st!

    I'm sorry you were triggered, but Dragonlance seems to have been too subtle for some. The people being made fools of were those who discounted Fizban because of their biased ageism. Like many things in DL (Gully dwarves, for instance), the point is that those who think someone is lesser are...

    D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming May 21st!

    IF by zeitgeist you mean Michael Moorcock in the 1950's with his Eternal Champion and Elric of Melnibone novels, then sure, whatever. Multiverse has always been part of fantasy roleplaying.

    D&D 5E Vecna: Eve of Ruin Coming May 21st!

    I sure hope they don't do like in Shadow of the Dragon Queen and just tell the DM to level up the PCs whether they had enough xp or not. I refused to do this and when we got to the 11th level adventure, the party was all 4-6th from xp. I was promised a campaign from 1st to 10th and they...

    Jumpgate Is An Overhaul of the Roll20 VTT

    I and my group of 6 players have happily used Roll20 for years with no problem. We don't play a lot of 5e but that has great support as do a vast array of other systems. Looking forward to seeing the upgrades

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Cast Plays A Game Of D&D!

    I've run one shots at conventions before. Typically 3-4 hours. 2 hrs is a bit quick. No doubt the pregens were the characters in the movie.

    I've noticed sales on the M-Space Companion and to a lesser extent, Junkyard Blues have seen a surge.

    Dragonlance Dragons of Fate Dragonlance Novel Cover Revealed

    They don't have guns, the great equalizer, they swing swords. Of course few women would join the knights. They would always be the exception, not the rule. Sorry biological reality does not seem to be taught in school anymore. Just certain unrealistic agendas.

    My group has been lost for weeks. Tonight they fibally found their way again. Along the way they had to get past a death knights fortress, an elder brain and its group of mindflayers and eventually a demon lord. The whole while a doppleganger had infiltrated them and was disappearing npcs along...

    Worlds of Design: The Lost Art of Being Lost

    The whole "there's nothing between point A and point B but filler" proves what I said on another thread about sandboxes just being an illusion. you're on a railroad taking you from A to B or you're just playing filler
