Seasons are important in my campaigns. PCs don't usually go on adventures during harsh winter months. A good time to spend lots of gold on pet projects, research and other down time activities. As for the domain game (castles and henchmen), as an experienced DM, I always talk about it with...

Actually the character does both at the same time. Hire an architect and an engineer. Let them handle construction. Characters can chew gum and walk at the same time. :p Sure, you can hand wave rules you don't like as incomplete. I don't share your opinion. The section is detailed enough and...

The 5e doesn't ignore that. It's all in the DMG downtime activity section. If groups (DMs and players) ignore that it's a group culture problem. Not a design problem.

It always comes back to the DMG. This time page 126-131. It's spelled out very clearly how to drain the character's gold. Not a bad design. Works beautifully. I've actually read the 5e DMG from cover to cover. It's a DM problem not a design problem. Some DMs don't read the DMG thinking I've...

Didn't like Castles & Crusades Siege Engine. Low Fantasy Gaming is an hybrid d20 OGL game. OSE, did quench my thirst for a revamped publication of the B/X books. I did a few solitary games with it. Fun to thread that path again for nostalgia purposes. I would say Advanced Labyrinth Lord is...

It's fascinating how people shout "bad design" when the game doesn't correspond to what they want. It's not a bad design. Gold can and should be used to acquire property and land that can be used to open up new avenues for story telling thus giving new responsibilities to the characters. Having...

Symbaroum starter set.

I'd have the power to enter electronic systems, at will, and would redistribute global monetary wealth stealing from the 1%. I'd stay hidden with a modest but comfortable life to avoid suspicion.

Just do it!

Levels 3 to 9 are the sweet spot in D&D. Never went beyond level 12 when starting from level 1. By level 9-12 the heroic story of the characters has been told. They saved their world once. No need to rinse and repeat. Time to roll a new character and try a new concept of campaign.

Yep... and do they own the rights to the three letter square logo design that looks like the old one.

Luna trek, abandoned aluminium factory.

You should watch the 'Good Cop, Bad Cop' movie before a game of Partners! The Canadian cop is the straight shooter, the Quebecois cop is the wild card. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0479647/

Only played one. Villains & Vigilantes in the mid 90s. Quirky. I've looked at Mutants & Masterminds but never pulled the trigger to buy it. Is it any good?

You should create your own religion and present it to him. ;-)

Awesome! ($43 shipping to Canada. Forget it.)

My last 5e campaign had humans only. All PCs were siblings of the same Baron. The players had no problem with it once I explained to central idea.

Are the gods aloof and mysterious, do they intervene frequently in the world's affairs or are they narcissistic beings who love to torture their creations just for the fun of it? Maybe the don't even exist?

A long time ago D&D add weird elements inserted into modules. Some modules were completely weird as with S3 Expedition to Barrier Peak in which the PC stumble onto an alien space ship. Some people refer to this as the Gonzo style. Cross genre inserts and adventures seems to have faded away from...

Didn't like it. The retro aesthetic of the time police is also a turn off. Maybe we will like it more after the second episode.
