Totally! The Yawning Portal inspired many of my own campaign dungeons. I love the idea of adventurers getting tanked up in the bar room, trying to gather enough courage to brave the dungeon.

Well, a few months later than intended, but just in time for the one-page dungeon contest! Here's my finished map: the Quintessential Dungeon. Many thanks for all the ideas! I managed to cram a load of them in there.

Yes, you're right. I guess that's my stance too. Another anecdote. My fiancee is a freelance artist, generally taking commissions from small businesses (she's probably why I spoke up in the first place). She charges professional rates. Clients often approach her for work that is underpaid, or...

Publishers shouldn't ask artists to work for free. I think most people would agree with that. But I disagree that artists who *volunteer* things for free are somehow undermining their own profession.

Saying that artists who provide content for free are undermining their profession is a little harsh.

Some of my players use tablets to track their characters sheets. Using devices to take photos or look up rules is fine, but if I catch people persistently checking social media, I unleash the DM Glare.

Yep, DDEP4 has been confirmed for the UK Games Expo, which is held in Birmingham on 3rd-5th June. Looks like it will be the Saturday night slot.

I'm not sure how that would really be any different, unless you gave DMs (or players) the option to simply pick one from the list. Also, note that adventure league writers do not chose which magic items are awarded in each adventure - they're given as part of the brief. That makes sense in the...

Hey, I'm sorry you found it too easy! I guess the problem is, encounters 100% geared towards optimized groups run the risk of hosing other groups. In this adventure, I did include guides for modifying difficulty up and down on the fly. Each map has reinforcement zones, so the DM can just heap...

I'd love a second monster manual. The first one is brilliant, but it needs more "stock monsters" for higher levels. The DMs Guild openly encourages the creation of monsters, especially conversions from older editions. They also say that good submissions to the Guild could open your work for...

That's a great list! Right now, I'm putting together some notes for a Downtime Activities doc for my own campaign. There are actually a bunch of RPGs that have come out recently that hardwire downtime into the game structure, from Mutant (where you build a survivors settlement between...

Thanks for the info! :) That adventure does sound like a lot of fun too, I may try to pick it up.

Meet in the middle. Set the game in a campaign world where scheming warlords vie for control of a continent-sized dungeon. The Emperor of Puzzles wages an unending war against the Prince of Traps, while kobold wildtribes continually reconfigure the dungeon wastes that lie between them.

Has Emirikol the Chaotic ever been officially tied to a campaign setting? (The wizard on the horse rampaging through that town in the 1E DMG) I'm guessing Greyhawk, if anything? Apparently he featured in "A Paladin in Hell" but I've not read that adventure. Is it setting-neutral?

Oh, that's so cool. :D

Brilliant! I'm guessing your PC was charmed by the vampire?

Hasbro has a huge stake in cinema. Outside of Japan, Hasbro owns Transformers. Transformers: Dark of the Moon was the 12th highest-grossing film of all time.

By sales, the Lego Group is now the world's largest toy company. From the Wiki: In the first half of 2015, The Lego Group became the world's largest toy company by revenue, with sales amounting to US$2.1 billion, surpassing Mattel, which had US$1.9 billion in sales And...

There are plenty of adventures available that allow you to stay in the Nentir Vale for the whole of the heroic tier. The Fallcrest section at the back of the DMG has all the world building you need. I'd recommend: Level 1: The Slaying Stone Level 2-4: Reavers of Harkenwold (great adventure...
