Concise lore can still be evocative and good but overall I like more lore in my core monsters. I want good lore I can use, not just stat blocks and good art. 2e was generally a high point here with things like the Ravenloft and Outer Planes monstrous compendium appendices standing out in my...

I only have the 14 monster stuff. Can someone post a sample monster’s MM lore from both versions so we can compare and contrast? I know, I know, it won’t be the duergar or orc. :) Aarakocra and aboleth could be compared or other things that are in both though would be nice to see side by side.

During Covid I stopped going to my in person game. My brother invited me to join his online game with people I knew and had games with before on one off game weekends. I have gamed with them weekly since. The players are in different states from Pennsylvania to North Carolina.

Playing my high level eldritch knight using UA recharge I remember a couple swift action buffs for some melee attacks that were regulars for me to mesh well with full attacks but I can’t recall if they were from the spell compendium or ogl sources. I also really liked the adamantine wings one as...

Secrets of the Dead Lands 3.5 Undead, Undead Creature, Immortal, Unquiet Dead: The Dead Lands is the name of the Dragon’s kingdom. The souls of anyone killed by the Dragon are drawn to his domain to serve him for all times. In his urgency Nakkash decided to try to access the Paraelemental Plane...

Former Purple Worm tunnels for the appropriately sized tunnels. Worm pulled train cars is an option.

Seas of Blood 3.5 Grey Lady: Many a seaman who ventures out into the trackless sea is destined never to look again on the loved ones he left behind. Either death or the lure of foreign lands keeps them from returning to those who wait patiently for them. Pining away on shore for the sight of a...

A sometimes thing. If there is a good deal on a line I am interested in such as a big bundle with a large discount then more likely. Just on its own that is less attractive for my monthly rpg budget and no rush on priority.

Would have liked to see that 4e Greyhawk update like the Forgotten Realms one. :)

I also remember not particularly caring for the preludes novels.

I remember loving Weasel’s Luck as my favorite of the two dozen or so Dragonlance novels I read in the 80’s and 90’s. Kaz the Minotaur was fine. Dragons of Summer Flame was pretty much the last I read though, no War of Souls stuff.

Ambushed! I kill an ROUS.

2e Monster Mythology has a little bit on some demon lords who are also gods. "What is known is that Demogorgon has a hatred of Sekolah the sahuagin god; some myths portray the tanar'ri as a one-time vassal of Sekolah, magically compelled to service through an artifact." "The Elder Elemental...

I would hope they would have at least adopted the ascending AC adopted in late 2e Dragon Fist. A simple change that makes the same system run easier for a lot of people. As seen in a lot of OSR stuff. Race class and level restrictions would be another easy small adjustment in keeping the same...

7th Edition is the current one. :)

Carrion Crown was an in person game that ended prematurely after a year and a half due to the pandemic. Iron Gods was an online game using Fantasy Grounds as a VTT and discord for talking. IG was something I had FG versions of from a Humble Bundle deal so I had the maps and room/encounter/area...

Carrion Crown and Iron Gods. Both went fantastic. There is a great 5e advice and conversion of Carrion Crown for the first three modules here on enworld that I used. I also ran two Legendary Games support modules for the CC AP, the Murmuring Fountain which was able to be run straight, and the...

Making bugbears warlords is not an association I would make. They have classically been big beefy ambushers starting with their surprise mechanics in 1e. Pathfinder leaned into them as scare-inducing bogeyman who can hide under the bed. I always found them as the more monstrous of the humanoid...
