I love the details in the politicking.

I think you're using the word MacGuffin to mean something else than I'm used to. The campaign does have an NPC in most adventures who are aligned with the party in interest and can provide information. You don't need to keep them, though. Torrent is a link to the resistance because the...

I just woke up, but that sounds cool. Um, thematically or like ideologically, I might distinguish the primary timeline industry from the alternate timeline industry by saying that the demonocracy Would have more one-off inventions, rather than like modern industrial production lines, maybe...

ZEITGEIST was not explicitly situated in the standard D&D multiverse cosmos. You can put it there if you want, and thus have Baator and such, or you can have it be in another thematically-similar multiverse. I think that, per EN Publishing, the Level Up product line posits a version of the...

Plots that take place in a world that's perfectly good are hard. But the elemental plane of fire isn't fire in every square inch. It's fire-themed, but there's still air and earth and even a bit of water. So I'm fine with the good alignment planes being a solid representation of that...

Easiest thing would be that he's caught up in the Dreaming, and sometimes gets pulled there, either like interplanar narcolepsy, or as a result of some pact or curse. If the campaign seems to have legs, maybe some time in the gap between adventure 5 and 6, while the main party is running down...

It's impressive how close to the in-game designs they managed to get the copyright infringement machine to look. But the actual Baldur's Gate 3 - which was the work of hundreds of people who earned a living from their labor - looks better.

I wrote the explanation, which is in the Planes section of Trials and Treasures: Planes | Level Up

Ah, this is getting my brain working. Okay, thank you.

What is it about The Forge of Fury that stands out, in your opinion?

Being as broad as possible, what's the best dungeon you've experienced - published or home-brewed? Was it the ambience? The peril? The game design? The storyline? For me, the best published dungeon I've played was book one of the Pathfinder Strange Aeons adventure path, where you wake up with...

My campaign is coming to an end in a few weeks, and one of the players has been itching for a while to have a good dungeon crawl, with maps and traps and puzzles and monsters. The campaign has had a fair bit of role-playing in the form of scheming and politicking, and the climax will probably...

I'm sure there'll be a proofread pass, but I noticed the table of contents has a couple typos. Botanotechnitian (should probably be technician with a C) Tinkerr Crowssbower (unless it's some pun where you shoot crows from your crossbow) Darting SHadow Javelinier I think should be javelineer...

The Gyre is a metaphysical thing that takes in 'dying worlds' and starts grinding them down. It's sort of like moons getting ripped apart by tidal forces and then turning into a ring like around Saturn, only in a different shape. Some chunks survive, and the largest chunks are the places the...

That's a really weird but fun idea.

Congratulations to you and your players! I love the 'mini' for the Ash Wolf. And the death of the Voice of Rot sounds epic. I also will definitely do something shorter the next time I plan adventures. :D Do let me know if you give Death of the Author a try. You having a slightly different...

http://talislanta.com/talislanta-library#3rd It was at the end of the main rule book. The creator of the game hosts all of the older books on this website for free.

I think it was maybe 3rd edition, but there was the intro adventure Mystery at the Magical Fair, and I've run that plot in like six different systems over the years because it's a fun little scenario.

Once upon a time I thought Wolfram Alpha was good at taking natural language math problems and answering them, but I tried last night and it was just dumb as a doorknob. So I went to ChatGPT and asked it what would be the weight of a clay tablet that is 1 cubit by 1 cubit by one-fourth cubit. It...

It's not quite what you're describing, but in EN Publishing's Monstrous Menagerie II, there's the Eclipsar. It's got the same naming pattern as planetars and solars, because it's an angel too, but its creation was interrupted. It was left on the liminal cusp of alive and not alive, and it...
