    What grid do you prefer for overland maps?

    Curious to hear what kind of grid (if any) people prefer on their overland maps, and how strongly you feel about your preference.

    [RPG] Looking for a published long term campaign to run. Suggestions please.

    To add a little to that, the world has flooded do to magical disaster (sea levels rose by 50 fathoms). It's a fantasy world, but not typical D&D one. It has lots of interesting races like crab-people and squid-headed magic users. The magic system is keyed to the four classical elements. Tech...

    [RPG] Looking for a published long term campaign to run. Suggestions please.

    They are not as detailed as something like a Pathfinder AP, but they take care of the things that I find the most time consuming, like statting out monsters and NPCs.

    [RPG] Looking for a published long term campaign to run. Suggestions please.

    Savage Worlds has a ton of Plot Point campaigns for its various settings. 50 Fathoms is a personal favorite.

    Looking for modules that have story but no stats./Modules for a low amount of players 1-4 or less.

    If I can plug my own produce Drakonheim: City of Bones is a systemless city-book with a bunch of plot outlines in it. Also you can always steel plots from other systems and adapt them to whatever you are using.

    D&D 5E (2014) Varient Monster in a Third Party Published Adventure

    Yes, I've been using the SRD for my my monsters, but thanks for checking. It's an OGL adventure that I'll sell primarily through DriveThruRPG/RPGNow. I imagine my audience is pretty similar to the people who visit ENWorld, which is why I'm asking here, to hopefully get an idea of what my...

    D&D 5E (2014) Varient Monster in a Third Party Published Adventure

    It is a low level adventure, but as a third party publisher, I tend to assume that I'd be getting people who already know about the game. Do you think that's risky. I agree that big changes for sure should get new write ups. It's the edge cases that I'm not sure about, where it could be just a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Varient Monster in a Third Party Published Adventure

    So I'm working on an adventure where I want to use slight variations on standard OGL monster manual monsters. For example giving goblins an alchemist fire attack. In cases like these how would you like to see the variant included? My two main ideas are a sidebar that just includes the new...

    D&D 5E (2014) Back to DnD after 12 years break. DM-ing questions thread.

    Is this the SRD you're looking at? http://media.wizards.com/2016/downloads/DND/SRD-OGL_V5.1.pdf It says plate for armor.

    D&D 5E (2014) Back to DnD after 12 years break. DM-ing questions thread.

    There's no shield to drop. 18 AC is all from plate, if you want to add a shield it would be up to 20. They already had parry in my copy, but fun fact I just looked up, WOTC removed it in later printings. http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/errata-may-2016 I haven't run it, but as printed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Back to DnD after 12 years break. DM-ing questions thread.

    A couple of small things: Are you including the short sword attack from their multiattack? Parry is a nice ability when paired with an already high AC.

    Which system to use?

    That was my first thought too. Here are a few reasons why: There is a lot in common D&D so it will be easy to pick up. It has a 1st edition feel with modern design ideas. It's more lethal than D&D, and I believe survival horror stops being survival horror if nobody ever dies. Use the a 0-level...

    I'm sick of Kickstarters

    Here's a secret: You can completely ignore Kickstarter campaigns. If they campaign is successful the product generally comes on in normal stores after it's complete. Just pay attention to the stores you always used to.

    Golarion vs Eberron -- Which is more "progressive"?

    One reasons it's hard to compare is that Golarion is such a "not Earth" setting, that you have to be always of the real world cultural equivalents. Eberron is further removed from our own world, so it can be more laid back about things.

    2d6 vs TN greater then 12

    I assume PCs can have bonuses to their rolls. The odds of success will depend on the bonus. Subtract the bonus from the TN, and then figure out the odds for that. I.E. If they have a +2, to hit a 13 they need to get and 11 on the dice, which would be 3/36.

    Fantasy RPG without levels?

    Savage Worlds is another that seems to fit the bill.
