I want a new MM with nothing but varieties of giant space hamsters. Truly this would fill a huge demand...

it's about as medieval of LotR…. looks sorta medieval, acts sorta medieval, but some whopping differences. And D&D actually takes a step further away from LotR/medieval by having lotsa pantheons of deities, instead of one big one...

I hope it's about evil squirrels and the players' epic long (lvl 1-12) conflict to stop their nefarious plans. Okay, not really. I'd like to see something along the lines of the Saltmarsh book... revamp a classic campaign, add in some stuff from Dungeon and new stuff, make a campaign out of...

Yes, B4/The Lost City is a good one. Along with the standard 'dungeon crawl down the pyramid levels' (with all those goofy encounters with the natives), there is a whole second 'crawl down the levels below the pyramid' section, and an actual lost city down in a huge cavern, and levels below...

In the first group I was in way back in early 1E days, modules were rife with unnamed NPCs. Our players just tended to call all of them Fred. There was Fred the merchant and Fred the farmer and Fred the guard, etc. In fact, since in our group no one wanted to play the cleric and we had an...

but I don't wanna play the cleric!!

while you can make an argument for 'logical' dungeon layouts... none of that applies to natural caverns. Maps of real cave systems like Carlsbad abound online, and they are way chaotic. Adapting this to a FRPG Underdark is pretty neat. You can assume that the natural cave tunnels have been...

since I didn't get any D&D stuff for Christmas, I decided to use some of the cash I got and buy "Ghosts of Saltmarsh". This was a neat idea that I would like to see more/similar releases. Revamping some classic adventures from 1E/Dungeon, adding some new stuff, and giving kudos to the original...

there already was a light saber in D&D, kinda sorta. Check out the Wand of Force from module WG4

agree on his writing skills. But I ended up using the city from the novel as an adventure for my group more or less as he wrote it, and added in some other stuff (like the anthropoid demons from a later novel); it was a pretty good short term arc in the campaign...

I rather liked Sea of Death, as it detailed an area I was always interested in; the Forgotten City/Suel capitol city in the Sea of Dust. But yeah, the series in general is rather hard to read. Still, if you want an idea of what EGG had in mind about Tharizdun, these will do it...

Griff the Ranger, who made it up to about 14th level or so, and ran through the GDQ series as the capstone to his career; this was way back in early 1E days...

If you can find EGG's Gord the Rogue novels, Tharizdun is a major antagonist in about half of them...

a bit OT, but... my niece is one of the many people who got into D&D5E. She already has a pretty good collection of dice. Her birthday is in Feb, and I was thinking of an odd gift idea.... one of those chest shaped dice boxes and some novelty dice (D7s and 15s, other odd ones I've seen out in...

I didn't get any D&D stuff for Christmas. My family doesn't really 'get' D&D. I did get some cash though, so I can buy my own D&D stuff...

Bunnies are infesting Farmer Codswaddle's cabbages, and must be removed. But you can't kill them because Codswaddle's daughter Imogene thinks they're cute and will cry if you do. So you have to devise cunning nonlethal traps and snares to get rid of them. Okay, this one might be best if your...

in 1E/2E, DMs were really tempted to rush the PCs through the lower levels, just to get them to survive. With the 'gp=xp' and 'magic items=xp' rules, you could do that. Once the PCs finally got up to a survivable level, you could slow advancement down too...

never played 5E, but it seems to be a lot more 'time compressed' than the early editions. As in, PCs will climb through the levels a lot faster. 1E/2E advancement could really be adjusted by the DM a lot, with the 'gp=xp' rule...

what's really sad is to read just how much money was wasted by the company pre-WOTC... they tossed money at way too many things they had no real reason to be involved with...

well, if we're looking at older stuff... there's the GDQ series, Isle of the Ape, Nightmare Keep, and the whole Bloodstone series too....
