The Maze of the Twilight Duchess (Labyrinth workname...) It's basically boils down to two things, I think: -cults are convenient, as others wrote above -because these mega-campaigns go into mid-high levels, naturally the upper echelons of power, therefore the main adversaries would be some...

I have the least problems with stats in Perkins's iteration of Drizzt, actualy I'd be more or less okay with them. The level and class are the the ones not in line with the fiction. But since it's not official just a fun take on the character in a comedy play, it's okay.

Honestly, I don't remember. :( I read the Christal Shard a looooong time ago. I remeber he received some basic magical course in the drow academy (and his teacher remarked that it is a shame that he will became a warrior, because he would be a good wizard), but in the last....lots of novels I...

I hope it doesn't. I totaly understand it in the context, but it is just contradictory with all the previous official statblocks and the novels themselves. Actualy I think Drizzt is one of the characters that couldn't easily productable with just one class. The 3e fighter (early years in the...

I'd like to see: 1. A proper swordmage-type class, like the magus in PF. Both the bladesinger and the eldritch knight are inclined toward one aspect and I want a true middle ground, a fighter who don't wear heavy armour and bolsters himslef with magic. 2. A true rapier-fencer type class...

It's somwehat interesting that this kind of topic attracts msotly the negativism. Anyway. I will remember it as: -the edition that did bring back DnD to what feels as DnD to me -as an edition with just enough player options to not be boring but simple choices for newbies as well and easy...

I want Minsc and Boo merchandise NOW! :D

I should say "completely axing". Don't giving full support like old days is ok.Completely throwing out settings or starving them to death isn't. I think, with some creativity, they could give the other settings fare enough support.

WoD's one settingness, especially in the case of CWoD is arguable, but even when we assume it's one setting, there are unique splatbooks, city books, chronicles and so on in every gameline. But yeah, I agree that the case of DnD with it's many settings isn't common, BUT DnD was the first RPG and...

And one minor thing in addition to the Golarion-FR comparison: Paizo have a full AP featuring Ustalav (with a lot of background info in the adventures and in additional gazetteers at the end of each), a 64 page campaign setting supplement dedicated to Ustalav, a 38 page player companion (Blood...

AGAIN: Golarion has a far wider setting as themes goes than FR from the get-go, especially because they have only one setting and incorporated every major DnD genre into that. And that's good, I like Golarion, but FR is not Golarion. Put every setting into FR would degrade those settings. I...

Thank you for saving me the time to writing down this! :D I think Your suggestion of an AP with the necessary crunch isn't too far from the Player's guide I would prefer. Each way we have the necessary updates in a book. As I thought about it, the additional chargen options, monsters and other...

That's an opinion. For me, and I'm sure, for a lot of others, rL isn't just about Barovia. Sure, that was the foundation an Strahd is the most iconic darklord and sure, you can just supplant it to FR if you want, but that won't be RL. Without the mists, the faiths, the Dark Powers, without the...

Ravenloft is always good. Or Ustalav (on paizo's Golarion), which is based on Ravenloft, but a little bit more Victorian (IMO) and more high(ish) fantasy, but still gothic. I also heard a lot of good things about Midgard from Kobold Press. Or, from this very forum :D...

Sure, I'm overstated! :D But there is indeed a lot of discussion, however all of the people, who take the surveys here are still a tiny fragment of all the 5E players and DMs. For clarity's sake: I absolutely don't think they doing this to piss off the fans. Actualy, I like the current DnD...

I was also thrilled about the mentioning of various settings in the corebooks, that is mainly why I'm patient with them, because it seems they want to do something with them. The question is: what and when? If I have to wait for a XY setting book I'm interested in for 3-4 or more years, because...

Agree. An interesting and very good alternative to Drizzt as how a not-so-goody drow find a different faith, love and friendship on a surface world absolutely different from her homeland while not going full, well, Drizzt. Liriel keeps being a drow across the series. Song&swords: how elves are...

Hmm, we didn't get much beyond Drizzt here, so I pretty much missed the 4e era novels. Now, reading in english is not a problem any more, so what are your suggestions? :) I enyojed Drizzt probably 'til Sea of Swords. After that, as I sayed it gets repetative. Oh, look, another orc war. And...

During 3E, WotC didn't even make the Ravenloft campaign setting. The whole line was outsorced to White Wolf. It worked, so the sample is here. Outsorcing the minor settings would make these alive, which satisfies these setting's fans and further boosts the core books and supplements sales.
