All this stuff is really cool... ... but all I really want is a treasure generator. Not web-based or a phone app, a program for Windows, and I want to be able to edit and input my own material. Is there anything like this out there for 5th edition?

STOP MAKING ME WANT NEED THIS BOOK!

According to the Midgard Worldbook, King Lucan is only an ordinary MM "warrior vampire"... ...yeah, screw that. Should my PCs ever come toe-to-toe with Lucan, THIS is the stat block I'm using.

Prepared! is a great anthology - heck, I can't think of a bad adventure anthology that Kobold has produced (Midgard Tales is my personal favorite - that's got some real epics in it. If you're running Pathfinder or willing to convert- I've converted a few to 5E and they were a blast). Of course...

If the reception of 3e vs. the reception of 4e is anything to go by, the answer is pretty clearly the latter - you don't release a new edition until the one you have is well past it's prime unless you want a fanbase revolt.

The good news being we now live in 2020 and artists can sidestep said corporations entirely now. Freelance editors, publishing on demand, desktop publishing now capable of creating work of the quality only attainable by professional publishing houses (or better) twenty years ago... Like I said...

Yup, started following Eric Noah's 3rd Edition News when I was a senior in High School and my main posting board of choice was tsr.com... man that was a long time ago. Registered in 2002 and posted with some frequency from 2002-2005. 2005 I graduated from college, and for years gaming groups...

Intriguing? You're making me drool, man!

True, but I don't think they had World Turtles in mind when they wrote that!

The world is a disc with Midgard on one side, the Summerlands on the other, and the Shadow Realm in between.

Keep in mind, however, that Empire propaganda has severely discredited the Jedi at this point. As demonstrated in the Clone Wars series, the Jedi... weren't always all that competent at leading. These professional officers, in addition to being steeped in Imperial propaganda, probably dismiss...

It's up on drivethrurpg.com

Reading the history of the creation of Spelljammer, it was both a bit ill-conceived and certainly ill-executed. According to legend, it started when Jeff Grubb was at the bar with a few other designers and said something to the effect of "I see a knight standing on the deck of a ship, his sword...

Though I wouldn't even bother with the Mists; to plug Ravenloft adventures into Midgard I'd just change some of the names to protect the innocent fit the setting and be good to go. I mean, you've already got vampires and werecreatures in abundance; a cursed gypsy-like people; dark fantasy Egypt...

It's telling that my two favorite settings after Midgard are Planescape and Taladas, respectively. Ravenloft is up there, but not really as a setting as much as a collection of evocative adventures, stories and components - that actually plug into Midgard very well. (As Ed Greenwood commented...

As Zardnaar said... Leylines. Which in Midgard are: 1. Channels of powerful magic that spellcasters can learn to tap into to augment their casting 2. Magic roads, which can reduce a journey of days or weeks to hours. However, while they once made a reliable "highway system" through the world...

Good analysis, I largely agree. What appeals to me about Midgard is that it has the lived-inness, lore quality and magic levels of the Realms, the "adventurability" of Golarion, the real-world cultural borrowings and weirdness of Mystara (though much more coherent!), and the conflict/lack of...

Mea culpa! How did I forget Golarion? Golarion is probably the big daddy these days... but I didn't list it because it's neither a 5e setting or a legacy D&D setting. But yeah, if you don't mind having to convert everything from PF to 5E, it outmatches Midgard.

They pretty much laid it out, but here it is: 1.Your heroes are the heroes. As you read through the Worldbook, you'll quickly notice that... there's no Elminsters, Gandalfs, or Tensers. No Drizzts or Fahfrds. Your heroes are front and center, in a world where there's horrifying NOPE of one sort...

Oh, there's something to like about every edition. Since 5e is my favorite to date, let's go edition by edition: AD&D 1st Edition: The DMG was Gary's magnum opus - there's no other RPG book quite like it. That's one to sit down, read and enjoy. So many classic adventures from this period - the...
