    D&D 5E Is the new setting Icewind Dale?

    From @MerricB 's website: (Link) Would that third one make sense?

    D&D 5E Is the new setting Icewind Dale?

    During 4E, WotC published the Neverwinter Campaign Setting which was, of course, a region of a larger setting.

    Best Paizo AP to convert to 5e?

    Wrath of the Righteous looks like it has so much potential as an AP but it needs a much more DM-friendly ruleset like 5E so that DMing it does not become a full-time job. That would be one of my three choices; Rise of the Runelords and Kingmaker would be the other two because they're both very...

    Pathfinder 2E PF2E like D&D 4e?

    Interesting thread. It certainly is answering some questions I had but didn't want to post. The online tools are dead. The offline tools are thriving. I've been sending out 200+ links a year for about five years. The 4E Discord is also making sure they're available.

    D&D 5E WotC Announces An Impending Announcement: New Setting, Storyline

    Noted on the language but anti-inclusive? I pointed out that WotC might get tarred with that brush; I did not make an anti-inclusive statement.

    D&D 5E WotC Announces An Impending Announcement: New Setting, Storyline

    I doubt that because of the cancerous social media environment. Can you imagine the charges of "cultural appropriation" that would be levied by the ********** if WotC did that? Mod Edit:That language is not acceptable. ~Umbran[/red]

    D&D 5E Free D&D Adventure from Kobold Press

    I think it is safe to assume that the faults with HotDQ lie firmly on the WotC side of the business relationship. "Hey, we need you write an adventure set in the Realms and based on Realmslore - except it has nothing to with established Realmslore so it's a giant retcon. Except it isn't...

    Played some Wuthering Heights today

    Very interesting. I wonder if that system could be adapted to supers or even vampires?

    D&D 5E The case for (and against) a new Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book

    I basically agree with @akr71 except for one thing I would add: I don't want WotC to make another FR world book or campaign setting. I want Ed to do it. I really want to see what I hoped Elminster's Guide to the Forgotten Realms was going to be - a return to FR set before the days of the OGB and...

    D&D General Putting The Awe Back In Magic

    The clear and concise power descriptions of 4E lend themselves to this. Because you're spending less time processing the so-called natural language and precise measurements, I find you have more time to think about what the effect actually looks/sounds/feels like. I encourage my players to...

    Pre-Order The Altered Carbon RPG!

    Is that Erika Ishii on the cover?

    D&D 5E 3 best adventurers league modules for a Phandalin sandbox

    Hehe... I thought you might be along to say something like that. And thanks. ;) I was hoping that the adventures in the Essentials Kit might spark a return of some creativity but they were quite a disappointment (note to WotC: hire Rich Baker more often). That said, Christian Eichhorn's Secrets...

    D&D 5E 3 best adventurers league modules for a Phandalin sandbox

    I wasn't taking what you wrote as edition-warring; I assumed you meant what you said and that you were a minimalist (I am in another way: I only have things on PDF). No, I never made PDFs. But they only take a minute to make if you find something you like.

    D&D 5E 3 best adventurers league modules for a Phandalin sandbox

    @DEFCON 1 mentions my blog as a source. I wrote those posts largely because I didn't like 5E but I didn't want to be one of those online voices who got off on telling the online world that their preferred edition sucked. So, I made a positive contribution via that blog to expand what you see in...

    Thanks for the kind words, @DEFCON 1 . Glad you're getting some value from my old blog.

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    He runs 3.5E. Read his actual play reports: They are some of the best on this site.

    D&D General Reducing Faerun pantheon (The Dawn War treatment)

    I'm still running the 4E Realms (with heavy influences from other editions) and I think this is something that the 4E FR designers got right. I like the larger pantheons but I also like looking at a list of dead powers and wondering how their return or attempts at returning might shape various...

    D&D 5E What does Midgard do that Forgotten Realms and Wildemount don't?

    Kobold Press published this article on their website to help DMs get into Midgard: So You Want to Play in Midgard? (But You Don’t Know Where to Start) I've been running the Realms since 1989 or so but have been looking at Midgard for a possible future 13th Age campaign. They've been updating...
