There's an Alan Moore quote about the idea that having the nostalgia of the last century being our only entertainment and escape in this one can't be healthy and despite Moore's gift for hyperbole and general Brummy grumpiness, he's got a point. The issue for me doesn't arise from saturation but...

I am a bit confused because the Zuggtmoy's wedding sequence is in chapter 17 (which I assume is at the end of the book and therefore a hard adventure with a big challenge) and yet her minions are CR 1/8 & 2....this is a little odd. But I hold out faith. I have no problem if the rest of the...

Perkins shared this in the podcast on wizards website at some point. In it he really clears up that as far he's concerned, this adventure has almost no driz stuff in and even if it did, taking it out would be somewhat easy. I have no idea why people get caught up in this: they won't publish an...

I like the idea of a shared universe and used to love spelljammering around avoiding the flying pig cavalry too. I just worry that in doing so each setting loses a little bit of it's flavour. Dark Sun especially but others too.They go to all the trouble of creating a way in the DMG of saying...

I've run D&D settings without gods, it took me like five minutes of work.I just said 'no clerics'. That seemed to do it. If you take out the class that is based on divine power and want to have no divine power then a preacher is better represented by a bard. That's arcane magic which seems not...

Yaarel, I love you man. Any attempt to get them to drop the gods, you take it. :D What have you got against them anyhow? Just in case this comes across as nasty, I mean it with a amused but respectful curiosity.

In a recent podcast on the website, Chris Perkins said that 'not all adventure paths will be 1-15' what that means, I'm less sure.

I Want that Gadget Guides book from Green Ronin for Mutants & Masterminds (Second picture, top left) so bad but but's basically unavailable as a printed product in England.

I thought that too but I don't think they'll announce anything. It's just odd that SCAG was announced the week before....

If a product is outsourced we say it's bad because they didn't do any work and Wotc accept the blame [not the outsourced writers]. If we think it isn't wotc still take the blame as it's 'not hiring enough staff'. So what we are really arguing is how we're exactly going to blame wizards. I'm...

If we're only counting stuff people use, you'd have to throw out quite a lot of stuff from AD&D - Unless you visited boot hill on a regular basis. It's also a kind of odd argument becuase everyone uses different things.

I'm aware this is a tangent but why don't you just run realms adventures that have nothing to do with the gods? I know that without the gods realms isn't really realms per se but I'm pretty sure campaigns have been run without them being the only feature.

To be fair, I'm not complaining about the book until I see what's like, I'm just voicing the opinion that I don;t know what to think about it and can't predict what will happen if it is successful. But I take your point. I probably won't buy it but largely cause I can't afford to buy more than a...

Also, (sorry to post this after) I feel like if we all buy this Wizards/hasbro won't go 'They want settings/splat' but will instead go 'tying it into video games is working!' which is not my motivation for buying the book.

I have NO IDEA how to feel about this product. It's seems good but if it's all they ever release for the realms - nothing else and it turns out to be as advert focused as Dragon+ I'm gonna be pissed. If it's 'We've done everything in the sword coast now, here's a book, our next adventure will be...

Given that they've said it's 'giant focused' and 'based on shakespeare' if they can fit psionics in their as well, I'm buying the hades out of that - Against The Psionic Shakespearean Giants! Though I say all UA articles as ofyet haven't shown up anywhere else.

Hi Margret, thank you for dragonlance. You are basically responsible for me realising I'm not the only weird kid, others exist and it's ok to be me. When I was younger I crashed my bike into a fence and flew a good ten feet into an unforeseen pile of bottles while pretending to be tasslehoff and...

Man, despite currently talking about something very similar in a research proposal I'm currently writing, I'd never thought about it that way. It kinda makes sense.

Yeah, we did a similar thing with two dm's back in the late 90's but with less competition. Characters moved between two groups set in the same game world that would occasionally meet up but essentially had similar enemies and goals. I'll always remember I waved my brothers rogue (who was a...

I think what mistwell meant here (and please forgive me if I'm putting words in mouths) that is it does;t matter what you wanted - these will be side effects of stuff produced at the speed you want it with the staff they have. It's my only really problem with the 'More stuff' camp, really...
