I don't think it's quite as abstract as that. While the characters may not be talking about the game mechanics, I think it would be great if the viewers could clearly recognize the game mechanics. So the rogue can decipher the runes on a Wand for a Use Magic Device check, the Sorcerer casts...

I don't want to speak for Corpsetaker, but I think he's saying it's only successful in that people (like him) are forced to buy that product if they want anything at all, but ultimately those people are left dissatisfied. So, not so successful at satisfying all people.

Reckless Casting is Wild Magic done right. I'm definitely going to steal that.

I am severely disappointed that there is neither a Gazebo nor a Darkness on this list. Oh well. Beholder 28 Displacer Beast 20 Flumph 9-2 = 7 Gelatinous Cube 22 Githyanki 16 Gnoll 12 Lich 22+1 = 23 Mimic 21 Mind Flayer/Illithid 23 Owlbear 21 Purple Worm 20 Rust Monster 21 Tarrasque 13 Umber...

I hate the 3e Blasphemy spell. It has no effect on creatures with more HD, and there is no way to mitigate the effects if you are lower HD. It is an 'I win' button in many cases. It effectively limits the range of opponents you can use as a DM without just auto-winning against the party. If...

Thanks for this. Fascinating history that not many know about the origins of wargaming and our hobby.

Another thing that works well, especially for purchasing the rarer and more valuable items, is to use brokers rather than shops. Basically the broker knows someone who is selling such-and-such and can arrange the deal with some time and a cut of the proceeds. Edit: Looks like I was ninjaed!

Mimics. Giant, psuedonatural mimics. The shopkeeper doesn't need to be epic, he or she just needs a badass pet.

I absolutely love your maps, thanks for sharing. I only have two tabs that are open on my browser all the time. One is a Google search result for Dyson Logos maps. :)

Interesting, thanks. What was your impression of the sequel, high points and low points? I don't have it and don't really know the first thing about it. If it was a good adventure, though, I may have to check it out! Right now I have this one leading to further adventures either in Caverns...

Well, I decided that I was wholly unsatisfied with the module as written. There are some good ideas in it, and I can certainly re-use a lot of the content within it, but it needed a major overhaul for how I like to run my games. Given that, I've put some effort into the overhaul, so I figured...

For someone who doesn't follow the game online, what is the reprinted material? Are they republishing SCAG material, or stuff from the adventure books?

My FLGS had like 5 copies when I got mine. If you need a copy, just let me know! :)

Check out Perceval by La Nef. It is a great, fairly authentic medieval soundtrack.

I focus on tactics/roleplay to keep combat interesting, but I focus on mechanics to adjust the challenge. I often find that the mechanical RAW don't support the tactics.

I don't really see the harm in that. If you don't want to engage in theory-crafting against moving goalposts, then don't do it. It's not an egregious affront. How long have you been on internet forums? 8 pages of two people bickering is like a light snack. Overall it's pretty tame and...

I think your character concept looks great, but I just feel the need to add that every party is made better if it includes a gnome paladin.
