    D&D 5E (2014) What Genre of Fantasy would fit an Adventure in the Abyss?

    For the Abyss, I would personally steer away from urban environments. I like the idea that the unrelenting chaos and malevolence of the plane simply breaks down conventional constructs of even demonic civilization. Things collapse, reshape, reform, and ultimately are hostile to all creatures...

    News Digest for the Week of January 28

    As I recall, FFG snagged up two of the runners up for the setting competition - Midnight and Dawnforge. Dawnforge had a fun, "early age" fantasy feel where everything was big and epic without it being high level. Pretty enjoyable setting, I hope they revive that one for something in the future!

    Tell me your experiences with RIFTS

    My experience with Palladium RIFTS echoes a lot of what everyone else said - a lot of cool ideas, but if there was an execution it was kinda messy and a bit overhanded. But the world was still fun in that crazy "anything and everything" kind of way. Magic and technology and demons and cyberware...

    TSR Best D&D Novels

    I read loads and loads of the FR and DL novels in the late 90s and early 00s, but fell off the novel bandwagon as D&D 3E waned. I enjoyed the various Forgotten Realms anthology series ("Realms of..."), and I recall really liking Mel Odom's Threat from the Sea trilogy (Rising Tide, Under Fallen...

    D&D 5E (2014) Zooming In On Monsters of the Multiverse [UPDATED!]

    This certainly is going to change the value of counterspell as a player! And I don't think that's a bad thing. And, unless it's part of the monster/NPC's core features, they probably won't have counterspell either.

    Planescape (+) What would you want for 5e Planescape?

    I can't agree with this more! I started playing in 1995, in the heyday of the TSR setting glut, and I loved the idea of Planescape and the planes. But the sourcebooks all felt like they were fiction reading material, fascinating but not enough there to help me run the campaign as a DM. I get...

    D&D 5E (2014) Connecting the Planes: What New Interstitial Setting Do You Want?

    Having written extensively about the planes in the Great Wheel cosmology, I actually just wrapped up a year campaign that was my attempt at a Planejammer mashup, where the characters awoke in a Styxian ferryboat minus their memories. The ferryboat was a variant on the skyships used by the Noatun...

    D&D General Abyssal breaches?

    My adventure Blight of the Demongate contains a table for a Fiendish Blight modeled after the Supernatural Regions presented in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. My Codex of the Infinite Planes article for the Abyss also includes tables for randomly generating threats and hazards across the...

    D&D General What's your Campaign Success Rate?

    I have been playing and DMing for over 25 years, and my personal record for campaign completion is ... not great. Like, at all. In those 25 years, I have been running games near constantly, usually weekly or bimonthly, though a few periods saw more or less. During that time, I had one straight...

    D&D 5E (2014) New Unearthed Arcana: Folk of the Feywild!

    The jumping rules are a bit wonky in the core game. You can jump but the amount you can jump can't exceed your speed, so the rabbitfolk hop is meant to get around this and gain a bit of a boost. A random boost it seems, which when rounded down on the tabletop does make it 0', 5', or 10' hop...

    D&D 5E (2014) What are your D&D buying habits?

    Is there an option for "buy every book in both standard and special editions along with the DnDBeyond version"? I didn't see it but ... uhh ... I'd check it if it were there. Shut up, I don't have a problem, you do! ::sobs into 3rd spare copy of Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, you know, the one...

    Planescape Planescape to languish in purgatory?

    For me, I'd love to see Greyhawk come back, but focusing on 579 CY Flanaess. Give me a setting on the brink of a massive war, and then give me a storyline outlining that war with mass battle rules and characters involved in high-stakes operations. Eberron has the fantasy post-war setting...

    Planescape Planescape to languish in purgatory?

    It's hard to see Planescape coming back as a "setting" in the 2e definition. As someone who has been publishing planar content on the DMsGuild for a few years, I've managed to do it because I can sum up the Planescape campaign with three points: Sigil is the setting for Planescape, and to a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Where in FR do you want the next big adventure book to go?

    I'd love a full book on the Cold Lands - Vaasa, Damara, Narfell, and the Great Glacier. Though that would muck up my plans for a Tier 3 adventure set in Castle Perilous. Or maybe it wouldn't! Lost of good stuff in that whole region, with the Warlock Knights, legacy of King Dragonbane, and the...
