    D&D Movie/TV New D&D Movie: July 23rd 2021

    Like it or not financial success is the most important thing otherwise there is unlikely to be a follow up movie. I enjoyed Jack & the Beanstalk and John Carter of Mars. Both financial failures so they are solo movies and studios are less likely to take a risk with that style of movie. I'd call...

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D Movie: July 23rd 2021

    Quite right, one must only react positively to a movie. Even if it's garbage one can only either praise it or keep quiet. We already have three Dungeons and Dragons movies, maybe just a rehash of those maybe with less depth and worse humour should be fine.

    Sorry 4e is largely a mystery to me

    Designing RPG Adventures With the Players And Not the GM In Mind, Part Two

    In 5e they have radiant damage type which sorta replaces holy damage from 3e. Like fire, cold etc. Paladins smite does radiant damage. Did I say it wrong ? I don't have my books.

    Designing RPG Adventures With the Players And Not the GM In Mind, Part Two

    I don't own the book being commented on so all of this might already be in there. I think the other way of looking at this rule is "Its no excuse to run a dull adventure now just because it sets up for a fun adventure later". It shouldn't mean you have to run your cool adventure idea against...

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D Movie: July 23rd 2021

    I would give Star Wars 7 a pass because despite the bad there was enough good, but Star Wars 8 gets a solid fail from me. As for good fantasy adventure films I would add in The Princess Bride though not sure if it fits the category.

    "Successful" in a box office sense - agreed.

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D Movie: July 23rd 2021

    I want the movie to be good. It shouldn't be that hard really. But after the hobbit trilogy and more recently Ep 7 & 8 of Star Wars I expect a poor story, weak attempts at comedy but a bunch of professionally put together action scenes which people will condescendingly say "it's made that way...

    D&D 5E (2014) Combining LMoP, ToD, PotA & SKT

    Apart from the stuff written into the modules (Blagothus, the Klauth sponsored airship etc) what foreshadowing or crossover stuff would be good? Ie Harshnag can make a potential appearance in the attack on the White Dragon during RoT. The Weevil could go hide in Red Larch. Any thing else than...

    D&D 5E (2014) Combining LMoP, ToD, PotA & SKT

    Agreed Dave. SKT and ToD are just too intertwined to not run together IMO. Giants and Dragons putting into effect a bunch of weird plans and the characters trying to figure out what their plans are and how to stop them. Too much fun. I am contemplating dropping out PoTA entirely. Failing that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Combining LMoP, ToD, PotA & SKT

    Interweaving LMoP + ToD + PoA + SKT Part of the intention is to run a longer campaign with slower than normal 5e levelling up. By interweaving all these campaigns one needs to slow the experience received. Also if there are any sections of the campaigns that you don't like or that drag you can...

    D&D 5E (2014) Combining LMoP, ToD, PotA & SKT

    Foreshadowing in LMoP for ToD + PoA + SKT Sildar Hallwinter is an ex griffin rider from Waterdeep. His griffin died a couple of years ago and he was very sad. He left the corps. However he has heard of a group that trains aerial mounts in the Dessarin Valley (the Feathergale society) and wishes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Combining LMoP, ToD, PotA & SKT

    So I'm running my first Forgotten Realms campaign since I briefly gave it a go when the original grey box came out so I am a realms novice but have DMed a lot. I grew up on 1e as did most of my players and as a rule we prefer a slightly slower advancement. I like most of the WOTC adventures. So...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D movie, take note...

    I am not a fan of this style of D&D movie or Netflix series. I would prefer the movie or series be a conversion of the story told by the adventures converted to a different media (film or to) in the same way that Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones is a conversion of the story told by books...

    D&D 5E (2014) More Tales from the Yawning Portal?

    I had forgotten about the Goodman Games proposed release. Thanks. OT1: When is that coming out & are there any other proposed updated adventures other than B1 & B2? (The only stuff I found said they would be out Gencon 2017 so I'm guessing there has been an update) OT2: I like that WOTC...

    D&D 5E (2014) More Tales from the Yawning Portal?

    I'm not saying it's going to happen but if it did what are a bunch of good pre 5e (Oe - Next) adventures that could be reasonably be compiled into a book of adventures to be produced next. They should be mostly dungeon crawls. Here are my suggestions. 1. Keep on the Borderlands. Level 1-2 This...
