It’s all pretty much there in the starter set. It’s the same rules, just less options. For all the talk of the size of the CRB, the “how to play rules” are less than 30 pages. You lose a lot of the extra things like crafting and specific downtime activities (and thus skill options that might...

I think overall this review is fair, but I find myself, I guess, surprised by some statements from the review and some commenters. Obviously, the following is IMO and YMMV etc. I do not agree with the critique of lack of milestone replacement as a ding in the review. It asserts that this should...

This is nothing to do with being a sandbox. My description here applies equally to a small dungeon, mega dungeon, wilderness trek or sandbox approach. Run away is an option in any edition, but one rarely taken these days because of the change in philosophy. This philosophy shift is shown by...

You don’t. You rethink your approach to creating adventures. The older editions had a different philosophy to new editions. The world is not balanced around the players. Create a ”natural“ environment and let the players figure the best approach. Fight head on (bad idea)/ find a way to fight...

low level and aren’t that big? I give you fellow GMs two words: Tegel Manor...

Cult of the reptile god, people of Orlane getting brainwashed. Very invasion of the body snatchers. If your loved one disappears in the night and returns, acting like a completely different person, that’s pretty creepy and dark. Especially when all your friends do too. Leaving just you, going crazy.

see, I was thinking the other way. Primarily a Greyhawk book, but packed with useful advice and inspiration for creating your own setting. But either way works. I think that’s what the original Greyhawk was about really, learning how to create your own world, but with training wheels on as a...

I personally think the appeal of Greyhawk lies in its vagaries as opposed to fully fleshed out like the realms. It was designed that way for a reason: here’s a sketched out world, make it your own. Lean into that and it will serve a purpose and be distinct from the other current 5e settings. My...

I would also recommend dragonsfoot. They have a do it yourself dm screen. You can just print the pages you want and clip them to any generic gm screen though if you don't want to build your own.

Maybe be they have to present it like that to stick with the OGL presentation? I've backed it and I'll just be using that layout to figure out how many spell slots it has and then cast the level appropriate spells burning a slot. Presenting it like that also makes it a bit more flexible and...

Oo I really like that idea. DnD classic line as well as something new being continuously developed. Shame they probably won't :(.

I didnt mean ape their actual APs. I meant their half yearly focus on products. Like for example, they released Jade Regent, and for those 6months it was coming out, there were other products to support it. So for example, forgotten realms campaign setting in January, til July, it's forgotten...

Touche sir, that is indeed what I asked. Perhaps I should have put a qualifier in the op about how one wold want it done were they in the "hot seat", factoring in market place realities. Otherwise my my original proposal for how I would like it to be done would be thus: "campaign box sets...

The problem with that is you're assuming will already have access to those old settings book Whilst this is kind of true with dndclassics, some people want dead tree format and some people would also like a setting to be brought up to date in presentation as well as rules and such. That said...

Ok, so we know from noises and mentions in rules that lots of D&D settings are possibly returning in some way. The question is, how? Many people found that setting books in 3e were too much (for example, there were loads of forgotten realms books, some were great, others less so) but many also...

Ok, Brilliant, thanks for the reply :)

Hi all, Am curious about the vampire games, but I'm really, really confused. I've searched on the internet and there seems to be several different versions using different versions of world of darkness book. How do I get into this, as in, what would I, a new player, need to play...
