Awesome. Thanks. This sounds like exactly what I’m looking for since I’d like to be able to play with three or four of us.

I’ve been playing D&D since the 1980s but I’ve never played M:TG. Now I’ve got kids of my own and we play D&D together. I thought they might be into Magic: the Gathering but I am not sure where to start. Ideally, I’d like to start with the D&D flavored Forgotten Realms set. Is this a good idea...

Ah. I got it. But isn’t that specifically not what the Curse of Strife is? The goblinkin aren’t inherently evil. They’re cursed by an evil god that deprives them of agency. They can be free of the curse.

What's the problem with the Curse of Strife?

I’m a huge grognard. I used to hunt down old issues of Dargon magazine for twenty year old updates on events in the world of Greyhawk. I ran a Greyhawk campaign for a decade or so that spanned from the late 1980s through the 1990s. We ran through Temple, Slavers, Giants through Demonweb, White...

I think it’s more useful to think of the question geographically. In some areas, Rome fell earlier than others. It was fallen by the 6th century in Britain, for instance, while it carried on elsewhere.

It sort of depends on whether you plan to have things like ship to ship combat, pirate attacks, fun adventures at sea. I recently DM'd my PCs on a sea quest from Waterdeep to Chult. There were quite a few encounters on the way. The most memorable and fun encounter was with a group of goblins...

I haven’t but I’ll sign up now.

Wow! It had been a while since I had been to the site. So much new stuff. Very exciting. I may have some homemade maps for you.

Exactly!

I almost killed off a group of three eighth level characters with five ghasts and a mage. I had taken one of the mini adventurers from the AL adventure "City on Edge" and raised the enounters to be more in line with the group's level. The mage was on the other side a huge pit containing the...

Yep. That's how we did it at my table. Alpha Complex was a city state devoted to a single deity who had lost its mind.

In Paranoia, the world is run by an insane friend computer. The players are trouble shooters whose job it is to find subversives and mutants and kill them. But everyone is secretly a subversive mutant. So we turned this into fantasy role playing by having the computer be replaced by a god that...

Paranoia is excellent. it’s not fantasy but can be reskinned to a fantasy world dominated by castes and priests. And it’s awesome that way.

Today we did the first part of “City on the Edge,” which is a Tomb of Annihilation affiliated mini-module. Took us about 2.5 hours. It’s for low-levels but my party is 8th level, so I had to up the encounters a lot. I was worried that they’d get TPK’d by the archmage I through at them at the...

When I found out Ral Parthia were available for purchase, it destroyed me.

Yes. I’m really hoping they do. It would work so well. Unfortunately, it will probably come out too late for me since the party I’m DMing just arrived in Chult.

We had a battlemap that we ruined with markers that we’re wet erase. Bought it at a NYC shop. Either Forbidden Planet or Compleat Strategist. But what we really used was a giant piece of graph paper that we covered with a big piece of plastic that worked as a transparent wet erase board. It...

I really wish they had done a Tomb of Annihilation Platinum Edition. I really like the Rime of the Frost Maiden Platinum edition.

We played in the 1980s with plenty of minis and battlemats we ruined with magic markers.
