    D&D 5E DMG: hard rules or just DM advice?

    Considering the fact I rarely, if ever, even look in the DMG for anything rules related, I would say it has been little more than a book full of advice. I might crack the DMG open once every couple of months, and then it's usually just for inspiration. I think the fact it is named a Dungeon...

    Worlds of Design: Is Combat Now Passe?

    In my current 5e campaign, there are typically one (maybe two) combats during a 3-hour session. I estimate about 30-45 minutes of that 3-hour session is tied up in combat. The majority of time we are exploration, roleplay, or goofing-off mode. So, roughly 25% of the session will be spent in...

    The road yet taken; old timers: what is your White Whale setting?

    Tomb of Annihilation

    I have been running ToA since January 2018, 3-4 hour sessions twice a month, and the PCs are currently in the 1st level of the Tomb of the Nine Gods. We started at 1st level and used the standard Sindra Silvane plotline. For what it's worth, I have run this using Adventurers League rules, with a...

    So what's the consensus on Castles&Crusaders

    Here's my take on Castles and Crusades (C&C)... I discovered C&C in late 2010 after growing increasingly frustrated with how complicated it was to run 4th edition D&D, and looking for a game that had the simplicity of 1st/2nd edition AD&D, without all tacked-on subsystems., i.e., roll high for...
