As the program grows, I think it could benefit from a curator system, similar to Steam. Anybody could create a curator account and create a recommended list of products, but OneBookShelf or Wizards would periodically officiate curators, displaying their lists prominently on the website, and...

Just keep it simple. One of my favourite adventures of all time is easily playable in two or three hours: Night of Blood, for WFRP. The group arrives at a coaching inn. Mutants have murdered the staff, and tied the guests up in the cellar. The mutants are posing as the staff. It's creepy...

Yeah, I'm hugely looking forward to this game.

Fantastic suggestions here, folks. I shall incubate them for a while, and hopefully spawn something devious. :)

Even better if he turns out to be a doppelganger.

True - all good dungeons have rivers running through them!

Maybe the innkeeper needs somebody to clear his cellar of giant rats? :)

How could I forget the magic mouth riddle!? :D

I'm going to draw a one-page dungeon. I want it to channel all the classic D&D dungeon elements into a single site, however old-hat they may seem now. The sort of thing you'd run for your children on their Very First Adventure. So far I have the dungeon situated under a tavern, with a tavern...

Thanks, that means a lot! Over the last year or so I've written a few expeditions for the Adventurers League. My latest one is the upcoming Epic for season 4, which is running at Winter Fantasy.

Yeah, I love darkest dungeon, and it definitely scratches that same itch. I prefer combat on a tile map though.

I'd like to see an X-Com approach taken with an established D&D setting. For example, manage a fledgling "Adventurers' Guild" on the outskirts of Luskan. Venture into the ruined city with your squad, play a randomly-generated turn-based mission, then return to your guild and invest your treasure...

This has proven very useful for me: http://slyflourish.com/5e_encounter_building.html Using those guidelines, I usually base encounters around 1 "champion" with a number of "henchmen" (either 1 or 2 per character). Consequently, I never use solo monsters, and I always mix creature types. I...

Great article. I'll definitely be picking up Into the Odd. I like what I hear, and that cover is great.

In my home games, I prefer to go easy with characterful ideas like that. I'd count it as a greatclub and let the wielder use his proficiency bonus. I'd probably grant double damage against objects with a damage threshold, too. For what it's worth, in my old 3e group our half-orc barbarian did...

There are some details about the upcoming Epic in the latest Dragon+ (page 18 - DDEP4 "Reclamation of Phlan")

Absolutely this.

With apologies to the previous poster, I don't think Masque of the Red Death is really appropriate to a Witcher scenario. Witcher is all about hunting down monsters in a gritty medieval setting: it's Game of Thrones meets superstitious Eastern European folklore. Masque of the Red Death is...

"Quick, to the flying machine!!" Flap, flap...CRASH. I must confess I was a bit worried about the TPK possibilities when writing that encounter, but it's always been very fun to run.

This is actually kind of what I'm working towards - a set of power "templates" that can be applied to a range of monsters, much like legendary powers. For example, you could have a "Warboss" template. Three times per encounter the target monster can grant a free attack to another ally, have an...
