My group adopted this method a few years ago and have never looked back. It is a much easier and faster initiative system than anything else I've seen, and a quick reshuffle of the cards means we can switch it up every round with zero bookkeeping. It worked so well that I went out and bought...

From GH, I'll add the hidden city of Suderham (from the Slave Lords series) to the list of potential candidates.

The Arcane Library has a high-level one-shot called Fires of Iskh (for $4.99 I think) that is very good They also have some good lower level modules for free (Temple of the Basilisk Cult, The Secrets of Skyhorn Lighthouse), although I'm not sure they can be played in a single session. Worth...

Never played this in previous editions but always wanted to give it a try. The new artwork is amazing and the hi res colour maps is also a huge plus for me, so count me in. $95 is a fair price for a 500-page hardcover.

So my players fought this thing last night. They are a large group of seven 13th-level characters, consisting of: - a human barbarian - a half elf diviner wizard/bard - a human druid - a gnome evoker wizard - a dwarf life cleric - a tiefling monk - a human ranger (unearthed arcana variant) To...

Agreed. My players are at 13th level and are just getting their hands on those insta-win spells, banishment and forcecage being the main culprits. I try my best not to houserule stuff just to nerf it, opting to find countermeasures such as, in the retriever's case, assigning it Legendary...

Same reason that more than half the villains left on this list have their roots in Greyhawk

It was a little disappointing how he was handled after Carl Sargent. He established Iuz as a serious badass and the nastiest villain Greyhawk had to offer, then they retconned nearly everything Sargent did and continued to portray Iuz as a bungling fool in modules such as Return of the Eight and...

Good point. Also, I'm considering giving it Legendary Resistance 3/day instead of Magic Resistance. It is very prone to a banishment spell (even with its MR), or was that the intent? To give it an Achilles' Heel?
