    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I'm not surprised that you (collectively) don't know Vault of the Dracolich, but I AM somewhat surprised that no one is very familiar with Forge of Fury - unless someone is who hasn't spoken up yet. At any rate, I'm leaning toward Vault Redux. Vault of the Dracolich was Level Four (single...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Haw! You're right! It's everyone else that you played with at the beginning of my Scourge of Daggerford and my Fitz's Folly game that had played Dracolich, but not you. Well, if none of the rest of you are one of those folks under a new name, that makes it a shoe-in. If I don't get carried away...

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    I understand. I meant "your version" as in "you citizens of the UK". Sorry if that wasn't clear.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    When Vault of the Dracolich came out (in 2013?) it was sent to us by WotC for a "Game Day" - it was by far the most successful game event that I've ever had at my store. We played 3 tables, with 3 DMs and 3 Parties. I was a sort of DM's DM. I was helping the staff run the store, but I was also...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Yes, everyone should start working on level three characters. When we nail down the adventure, I'll post an RG for you to put them.

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    Interesting. I think we must still have a bit of the old "buyer beware". As a tiny businessman, I much prefer your version. I think it's plain better for business (long term) to let your customer know exactly what they're going to get (within obvious reason) and let them decide. It seems to...

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    They USED to do that here, but somewhere along the line they got lazy and just serve you whichever they have. Or so it's been my experience, I never order the stuff, but my kids do (or did, they're getting old enough to have better taste!) Oh, in case it's not known where I'm talking about (and...

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    And "band-aids" (what you would call, I think, a plaster). On the subject, I wouldn't call that a coke unless it was a coke, though most restaurants near me will call it a coke, even if it's a pepsi. I'll call the group of carbonated sugar-drinks "pop" - but I don't like pop, so I don't have...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Haw! If you're anything like me, you won't have any memory of it other than a vague sense of deja-vu if we play it. (Actually, if we play it, you probably won't recognise it much at all, as I'll be changing the nature of the occupants, who were classic Orcs. I ran it recently at my store, and as...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Many haven't. I could write a whole thing on how some of the best ever (IMO) WotC-written adventures happened during "the interregnum" (as I like to call it) - the space between 4e and 5e. The trouble is, none of them were marketed for sale. They were given to WPN stores and used at conventions...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    Taran's suggestion above sounds great. I'd love to play as well. However, I don't want anyone to feel like I'm leaving anyone out of this game. It's possible that we could do both - I have an idea on how to run 10 PCs, if need be, but I have to ask a few questions first: 1) How familiar are you...

    I sent you all an invite to a (hopefully short) refresher-game to get me back into the swing of things. If you didn't receive your invite, it is HERE!

    Vault of the Dracolich Discussion Thread (RG) Rogues' Gallery (IC) Story Thread Original Post: So, I've mentioned this to most of you, but I have been suffering from a sort of DM's (Writer's) Block when it comes to running my PBP games. I really, really don't want to quit any of them, so I've...

    Wizards of the Coast Hiring New Lead Designer and Head of Game Ecosystem for D&D

    I agree that it's not particularly significant either, which is why I put it that way - it's kind of in the middle. The last time they put up a job offering, I would have to have taken a large paycut if I'd wanted the job (and I OWN AN FLGS!) whereas this job offering I could live on. I still...

    Wizards of the Coast Hiring New Lead Designer and Head of Game Ecosystem for D&D

    Yeah, I've been selling D&D books since 2e as a retailer - they don't ever stop putting out books even when they've got new rules on the way! IDK, I wouldn't put it past a job posting to consider -every- upcoming book to be "game design" even if it's a repolished setting book, or an adventure...

    Wizards of the Coast Hiring New Lead Designer and Head of Game Ecosystem for D&D

    Not to disparage anyone here, and I do think that it's possible that we'd see a rules revision by 2030 (sure) but I think that any real "6e" speculation based on this job offering is... premature. In particular based on any premise that 2024 has been unsuccessful. I don't think Hasbro (and by...

    AtG Howling Crag (5e PBP) OOC

    I'm very happy to hear that everyone is still waiting on me. I've been busy, sure, but worse: I've been suffering from a form of writer's block. PbP DM's block? I sit down every day to do it, but don't get it done. Bear with me! I WILL get through it. Soon, I hope.

    I both like and dislike all of them. I agree that sleek does not make them cooler.
