Me likey.

In fairness to Salvatore (I’ve never read anything by Greenwood, so can’t comment on him), it did result in the Companions, which is my favorite book of his. It’s so somber and sad and yet joyous all at the same time.

When it comes to 4e and the Forgotten Realms specifically, they nuked the setting. NEVER nuke the setting. I don’t even like the Forgotten Realms, but I do remember my old DM showing me two maps, one of 3e FR, the other of 4e FR. Just seeing the scale of damage from the Spellplague made me...

And here I was doing everything I could to AVOID jumping straight to Dark Sun. Ah, well. It’s all good.

Okay. Post-apocalyptic can take many different forms. Mutant, eh? Okay, so I’m imagining a more science fiction/fantasy campaign. Fallout-esque. Post-apocalyptic science fantasy campaign focused on gnomes, dragonborn, and half-orcs (flavored as “planimal”-folk). Humans, dwarves, elves...

Well, other than Ravenloft (which I suspect will be included in the Shadowfell chapter), this would be a fantastic idea for a sequel and at least make me very happy.

This would be almost perfect as a first sentence introducing Mystara in this upcoming product. TANGEANT - Yes, Mystara’s take on orcs is bad, but at least as a DM, the best part of the setting in my opinion is just how gloriously modular the Known World actually is. I threw out the Broken...

Leaving the lack of Dark Sun aside for the moment, I am genuinely curious about how they’ll approach Mystara with this product.

Which is why in my home games, I moved the Red Steel subsetting forward in the timeline to 1,350 AC, one hundred fifty years after Red Arrow Black Shield is supposed to take place as per the gazetteers. Also replaced Hule as the geopolitical boogeyman of the region with a supercolony of...

To be fair, every single player I’ve ever encountered who decides to play a Ranger, well, plays them as the stereotypical Aragorn from the Peter Jackson Fellowship of the Ring movie. Well, except that one homeschooled teenaged player whose parents had never let him read Lord of the Rings, but...

It’s Gary Gygax’s setting. The World of Greyhawk presents Oerth as the medieval setting to Forgotten Realm’s renaissance. It’s a human-centric world with lots of ethnic tension. You can have two genuinely decent nations right next to each other that absolutely hate each other and would be...

It’s a running joke, except not because paleontologists will literally get into screaming matches about, well, everything to do with Spinosaurus.

I like all of them except the green dragon, something about that one just doesn’t work for me. Not sure what up with the Black’s wings either, but the rest of it looks cool. I actually like the greenish tint to its wings and dorsal spines quite a bit. Red has the nice classic look. No need...

Speaking as someone who likes his dragons wingless, I thoroughly approve.

That’s what I’m thinking, anyway.

Oh. Ah, well, thanks for the correction. It’s a really nice dragon artwork.

Liking the new designs for the Red and what I assume is a Copper dragon.

Alright, I’m back. Thinking about the , yeah, no. The sneak attack option mentioned upthread makes more sense to me. Probably have it take place after the PCs collect five of the rod’s fragments. Then it becomes a case of the PCs retrieving the sixth fragment while the folks who...

Well, I don’t have the book myself yet, but I have read quite a few spoilers for it and plan to run a reworked interpretation of the adventure in a few years time. The assorted jumble of ideas I have so far are as follows: Players will have the freedom to go after the first six pieces of the...

I have a homebrew CR 4 domesticated bulette, my dad has a Crystalline variant in his games, Critical Role has the Magma type, and now you have the Dendroid Bulette. It’s a good day to be a fan of the old Landshark.
