It seems someone cast a true seeing. Well done Sir!

Do you think Orient Express offensive?

Supeheroes don't die from falling.

Roleplaying without acting is still roleplaying. Acting is like some fruit on the ice cream. It is nice to have but it is not the ice cream. Many so called roleplayer do not even know how to roll initiative, what alignment is, how to make an attack roll etc.. They just like to be on the screen...

Pendragon end runequest have an even better system. Why don’t we use them instead? It is not about better or worse. It is part of the ingredients that makes it unique and fun. It is like a BMW has rear wheel drive.

Roleplaying is not acting. D&D is slowly but surely losing its distinctive characteristics. It is just a kitchen sink now with orc waiters and hobbit black guards.

Great help so far. Thank you! Could you point me some published adventure modules you regard as almost perfect / very good in room descriptions. Any adition.

Thank you. You are right about the adv/disadv. I need to come up with something more interesting. It is wip. How do you like the layout? Is it something you could use at the table? Would you make any improvements? E.g. too much text here, too little there etc...

Hey guys, I would like to publish some of my homebrew modules. Since this is my first attempt to publish something RPG related I started to read a lot about room descriptions. As far as I see there are two - sometimes contradictory - requirements: The module should be fun to read and...

I like to reuse old school modules in my campaign world where I need to give lore to the module. This time I decided to use a very classic one: G1 Steading of the Hill Giant Chief by Gary Gygax. During this process I usually change so much that you cannot identify the original module. Still, it...

It will be like fr but in a desert. I love how the original ds captured the ancient times. I want s&s and not wuxia.

Spellcasting classes are mostly the same in different skin. Warlock is the exception.

Still, we live in cities. I can’t remember any good book that puts the whole plot into dungeons. Dungeons limit space and options. There are some flavorful ones, but they are the exceptions. Dungeons usually involves tactical elements and grids. D&D does not have good rules for this kind of...

Dungeon crawl is more like a table top game and not an rpg. It is mainly about exploration and/or murder hobo bloodfest. If you like social elements and good stories it sucks. For these you need more space and variety.

Too superficial compared to cities. Usually it smells. (I am a dev)

We tie level up to certain number of sessions. Higher levels require more sessions.

My party quickly lose interest in big dungeons. Dungeons just don’t have enough opportunities to make interesting social interactions (compared to cities etc). Small dungeons are cool though.

The most important thing to me that official settings can give us a common world. I can go to any RPG club and all the players know the setting immediately. They know the major NPCs, movers and shakers, history, geography, cultures etc... It makes creating a new party already immersed in the...
