Masterplan allows you to export to html and then you can copy and paste into a Word document.

I do understand. I found something positive in B2 I can use and you didn't. I'm still amazed that I did because I really don't rate Gygax as a designer....

In other words, they're the sort of choices you want beginning characters to make because they see the consequences of those choices and that, in D&D, one of those consequences can be a TPK. Remember, my comment was in the context of new players learning the game. Yes, prima facie, they have...

Justin Alexander (thealexandrian.net) makes a really good point about the Caves of Chaos with respect to new players: When you enter the valley with the caves, you're effectively presented with 12 choices (assuming you see all of the cave entrances). There are few adventures where you're so...

Hey Johnathan Richards, I went back and read these all again for a bit of inspiration for a new campaign (and I'm determined to finally use Grottlepox). It's a great read even second or third time around. Thanks again for posting.

That's pretty much the definition of any Gygax product: Gygax had great ideas but his execution sucked, probably because he was incapable of working with others - such as editors - in a collaborative fashion and because he was always rushing before a deadline. (The classic example is the Temple...

Another alternative is to ditch Adventure Tools and use Masterplan. Unfortunately, that means exporting any of your custom monsters to monster files which can be some work. (Or does AT do that already? I haven't used it for such a long time.) Masterplan is a surprisingly good monster builder...

It's arguably better than the first Bestiary and that was one of my favourite monster books of all time. When I read the rakshasa entry I cannot help but think, "I really must run Eberron in 13th Age."

This is great. I love Shadow of the Demon Lord but godless didn't hit the right buttons for me. This, however, looks like it will be what I wished godless had been. And I'm delighted to see the SotDL rules powering another game. 5E has been so successful that too few probably realise just how...

I recommend sending a PM.

I use lesser known names created by Ed Greenwood. I have a list of 5,000 or so of them on a spreadsheet and I use a random number generator to select them. Wow, you mean they're - gasp! - badwrongfun?! That should be outlawed!

I'm rather envious. I've never lived anywhere with a nerd community of a size to make events like this viable. It almost makes me want to live in the USA.

I'll be blunt: Mongoose had a reputation for poor design and even worse editing. Is that the case with their Paranoia line?

I would focus on the former Imaskari lands, aka The Old Empires. Pre-4E these were, inter alia, Chessenta, Mulhorand, Thay, Unther, and the area around the Raurin Desert. Besides already including a lot of desert, these are the lands more influenced by ancient real world human cultures and...

That doesn't make sense when you consider that Thayans are of the Mulan "race". And every other reference makes it plain that the Red Wizards were a faction within Mulhorand. The only way to reconcile this is to suggest the Halruaans provided the catalyst for the rebellion against Mulhorand but...

This has been the most interesting of these articles. And, wow, this could revolutionise TV series! I wonder if the additional production costs will make it worthwhile?

I find it disturbing that the FBI thinks membership of the Libertarian Party is some sort of red flag. But I find it even more disturbing that this is the quality of an FBI file of that era. As for Liberian incorporation, the biggest users of offshore companies until about 2008 were major US...

It's been a great first episode. Lots of food for thought for anyone considering or running a Dark Sun game.

They're not the progenitors of the Red Wizards: The Red Wizards are of Imaskari origin and predate Netheril.

The Age of Inflation, as the OP terms it, is why I was never a comics fan, even as a scrawny, nerdy kid. As much as I have enjoyed many of the Marvel movies, I'm still waiting for them to "jump the shark" necessitating a reboot of the particular universe as has apparently happened many times in...
