I'm happy for you guys that you enjoy that type of play but to be honest with you I think that it's pretty irrelevent to the discussion of the the release schedule. WotC could publish a book a week or no book for a year and it wouldn't really have an impact on your game. That's really what I'm...

Thanks for that and I will have a look but I guess once I have to start converting I'd prefer to play one of the all time classics like Night Below or something.

Yeah, seems quite strange that (excepting a handful of AL modules of variable quality) there is exactly one product in 5 and a half years that goes to Level 20 (DotMM). Now, I know all the research etc says that the average game stops around 12 but every product they produce except modules goes...

Have you read through this thread? Or even the OP?

Do you mind giving us a run down of an average session? I ask completely without predjudice, I am just curious cause it's so different to my experience! Thanks in advance!

So you guys average about 225 xp per character per session? Or about 4.5 goblins each... Each to their own but that is a bit slow for my liking

Maybe. I think our longers sessions help us get through more material because inevitably everyone has to catch up and chat at the start of each session. Obviously that eats more into shorter sessions.

Maybe yeah. I can tell you now if someone was cranking out high quality generic fantasy 1 - 20 APs I think they would make bank. Very little high level stuff around aswell, it gets harder and harder to run one's campaign after 15 for want of material. I know all there research says campaigns...

That book is absolutely brilliant by the way. As good as and better in parts than anything Wizards has done. (Particularly the intro). We used bits of it in our Saltmarsh campaign and for the Baldur's Gate part of Descent. Highy recommend it.

Agree. There's no shortage of one shottish 3rd party stuff but a real shortage of APs. My fervant hope is that MT Black with do an AP for his Calimshan guide which is fantastic.

Sweet man cheers, that Scales of War is a good find. I will have a look at that.

Nah not really homebrewing to be honest, though we do a little bit. With Saltmarsh we set it in the Moonshae Isles using Shawn Merwin's Baldman Games setting guide for their Moonshae AL modules (really worth looking at) and it was basically as simple as pointing on the map where Saltmarsh was...

Yeah, I will look at those when they drop but they are likely to be short intro jobs (which is actually my favourite type of adventure but not really campaign sustaining).

Yeah, I guess some people are homebrew devottees and other are not. I can understand those who are, it just isn't for me. As to the hardbacks not making sense all the time, I am with you on that. We often hack out meta plot. Like I said upthread, the Death Curse is a good example. We...

Yeah, that's exactly it actually. We reboot each time we start a new campaign but we consider it all to be contiguous. So we have returning NPCs, old PCs show up etc. As to a new start being refreshing, maybe but we have been playing for 5 and half years in the same world so we have a lot of...

Fair enough but basically the release pattern has been big story line book at the end of the summer and smaller adventure book in the spring. It's the smaller adventure book that we are missing this year that is the (my) problem. The last release was a setting book (Eberron) and the next two...

Some people enjoy homebrew and world creation etc and there is a big tradition of that in D&D and good on them. For my part I prefer to enjoy the work of people who are acknowledged leaders in the field. To me it's like the difference between watching your local club team playing sport and...

I dunno if playing the once yearly summer AP in roughly the amount of time they reckon it should take is unreasonable to be honest. But obviously in comparison to most people hereabouts we are way quicker than I thought.

We rotate and to be honest any of us could homebrew etc and we do to an extent but we are full adults with square jobs and commitments etc so that is a factor. Another is that I/we happen to think that Mearls, Crawford, Perkins et al are basically geniuses. We absolutely 5e and 5e products...

Haven't looked at Zeitgeist but with War of the Burning Sky I felt it was too much of a change from our current campaign. Would have taken an awful lot of hacking and changing etc and if I'm going to do that type of work I might aswell convert Night Below and be done with it.
