My very first d20 is a 20-sided dice, numbered 0-9 twice, that I scratched in the 10's place. I still have it to this day and bring it out for special occasions. :)

<quote snipped> I'm sorry that you've lost the wonder. What kind of adventures do you like? What is it about dungeons that makes it so you can't have those adventures in a dungeon?

Yeah, it really wasn't meant to play that way. The stats are there for if they are needed, and for sure they often will be, but it's a distinct lack of imagination if the whole thing just becomes a kick-in-the-door slashfest. I don't know if I can put my finger on what makes dungeons fun for...

None right now, albeit my D&D games are 3.5e. I'm pretty happy with our mechanics for now, as are the players, and am more interested in seeing the campaigns develop than trying new systems.

I expect fewer restrictions on the types of challenges the DM can put before the players. I expect the game to pose problems without a known solution and ask the players to figure it out. I expect a much broader expanse of possibilities for the types of adventures.

That is a tragic tale of misery and woe... rather appropriate for a death knight, actually. ;)

Huh, interesting! So you just need a "serving" of fresh water to produce 3 supply. I believe 1 Supply is enough to provide food/water/shelter for 1 person for 1 day. Assuming leniency on what a serving is, it still mostly creates sustenance out of nothing. But you need many more spells to...

@Morrus, If you are looking for another spell to post, I'd love to see Create Food and Water to see how it interacts with journeys and supplies.

It turns out there's a good preview of an example encounter key for Winter's Daughter on the Necrotic Gnome website. It's really good! It actually acts on a lot of the advice I've read from Justin Alexander's blog about encounter keys.

I highlighted a couple parts of your post. I'll just say that I strongly disagree with your characterization. It's fine that you've decided you don't like that type of game. However, plenty of people do, and it really has nothing to do with maturity. Also, as transmission89 mentioned...

It certainly does have all of those elements, although I'd say that there are much better examples. Quasqueton is a good introductory start for people trying to learn the mechanics of the game, but it's also very bare bones. The puzzle aspect is particularly sparse and requires a lot of DM...

If dungeon delving is a lost art, someone forgot to tell me. I've been running players through dungeons pretty much non-stop for the last few years. I have one group that I'm running through the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. They are just about to tackle the Crater Ridge Mines (a...

sad trombone

Hmm, interesting question. At first I estimated in the 20's, but as I sat down trying to recall, the number grew into the 40's. For thirty-plus years of gaming, that seems like quite a few! I've never been to a con, but a couple of times I've started or joined recurring groups through a FLGS...

I absolutely love ham. Sadly, I don't like honeyed ham or any other form of sweet ham, so chances are I wouldn't like the pineapple ham. Still, I could easily imagine something like this on a fantasy table. Also, you've got to do something about those sides. I'm a big fan of broccoli, but...

Amazing. It's great to see the growth in the industry. Three million dollar KS's in 2021, and we're just 1 quarter in!

This looks really cool. I'm tempted to buy it for this year's Halloween episode for my online group.

It's only Eurocentric if you choose it to be. The definition is actually relative to the speaker and their society. Rudimentary is a good word, but it's not the only one.

Last time I went camping.

Thank you for providing primary material so we don't need to struggle through the conversation with theory and conjecture. I, for one, really appreciate it!
