Does this mean that you never want a character's family showing up in the game, and thence showing some sort of development? And does that extend to everything in a character's background? In which case, why have a background at all? Just trying to understand here. If you want a character's...

Me (handing it back unread): "That's nice, it looks like you put a lot of work into it. Maybe you can post it to ENWorld? Ok folks, so here's what is happening right now in the tavern..." Nothing wrong about that at all.

I started the adventure earlier this year, and I posted a thread about the updates I've made to the module. You might find that interesting to look over. I've since added more updates that I haven't posted, but it's a good start. I agree that it is really a bare-bones module and even for...

I'm going to be starting a new 3rd edition campaign soon. While browsing my shelf for interesting 1st level adventures to use, I came across Idylls of the Rat King, the very first in the Dungeon Crawl Classics series by Goodman Games. The adventure looked promising, and it even won an...

One can dream.

Regardless of copyright protection, etc., it would be pretty nice if every hardcover book contained a unique unlock code that someone could use to unlock that content one time on a digital platform. They could then keep a central database of each time a code has been used on each platform, to...

So, I agree that looking back at this with a seasoned eye, the adventure is pretty cringeworthy and outright hilarious in places. That being said, I remember running it as a young teenager, and we all had fun. I was already used to not being able to understand all the rules in the 1e DMG, so...

To be honest, I've been DM so much and been a player so little that I don't even think about playing through adventures, I think about running them as a DM. That being said, I would love to get a chance to play through I6, the original Ravenloft.

Supporting A does not mean opposing B. Just because WoTC vocally encourages women and POC to apply does not mean that they are discouraging men or non-POC from applying. It's just a hunch, but something tells me that they have plenty of white male applicants without any encouragement on their...

Where is that thread? I need something more uplifting to read.

Those bastards, they killed Greyhawk!

I actually read it differently. It seemed to me Myrdin was saying the judgment was valid, but they take counter-productive approaches. I could be wrong, but I think that just means that if someone is emotional, they don't always take the most effective approach to creating change. Sometimes...

DocMoriartty I would encourage you to do your own research. I don't have the link, but at one point the person speaking out had it well documented on a blog (with screenshots, etc). I read it, and I found his behavior to be creepy and inappropriate. There was a point for me where it crossed...

Just like it's nice to know that if I commit a crime and have a criminal record, there are some places in society that will still give me a chance? Should someone convicted of shop-lifting never be allowed in a store again? Seems pretty harsh.

Gradine - Thanks for the explanation. I think that's a great example of a subjectively inadequate response. I also think you are mis-interpreting some of his statements, but that is a subjective interpretation of his response on my part, too.

Can you explain how the organizer's response was objectively inadequate? I'm afraid I don't understand that.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly (there is a lot of text): 1. Doug Rhea is one of two organizers of the convention 2. Some people have asked that the convention ban both Frank Mentzer and Bill Webb 3. Doug has refused to ban either Mentzer or Webb, stating that he does not judge...

It's click-bait of the worst kind. Not only is it actively misleading, it seems to promote a hostile mis-characterization of someone. I really hope ENWorld will correct this.

I want to read Bram Stoker's "Jewel of Seven Stars." I finished Dracula last spring. While I was really impressed with the story and the audacity of Stoker's writing, I found it extremely challenging to read due to the format of the novel (a series of diary entries). I'd like to read some of...

This is an outstanding clarification and distinction in the PHB that matches up well with how I generally do things. Most humanoids are innately evil, but not inherently evil as part of their essence. When the patron of your race is a savage demon lord like Yeenoghu (gnolls, for example), it...
