    Commentary thread for that “Describe your game in five words” thread.

    I'm running a Necromunda game using Everywhen. It's a sandbox game where the PCs are the founding members of a new gang (they chose to be House Escher). They've just taken over a homestead out in the wastes as their hideout, and they spent a chunk of last game scavenging through the area looking...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you find alignment useful in any way?

    As a player, I find it useful as a roleplay guide, and helpful for visualising what a character is like. As a DM I find it useful as a guide to how my party are likely to react to given situations or NPCs.

    D&D 5E (2014) Has the culture of campaigns change, re: homebrew vs. pre-published?

    I'm a Millennial, albeit at the older end of the scale (38), and I primarily run using homebrew settings. I have run published stuff (Lost Mines of Phandelver, for example), but it's rare. I own Curse of Strahd, and Tyranny of Dragons and Rise of Tiamat, but I've no idea when I'll get round to...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    Actually really good. We finished the last game with a Shambling Mound having come over the side of their river-ship, engulfed the halfling rogue and ditched back over the side. We started with the cleric hitting it with a Guiding Bolt, rolled a natural 20 and inflicted a load of damage as it...

    What are you running right now?

    I'm running a weekly D&D 5e campaign in a homebrew world. I'm also running the 'An Ambassador's Tales' campaign for Flashing Blades, but using Everywhen, but that's currently on pause while other people run games (I'm playing in a 4e WFRP Enemt Within game).

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do you Play BECM/RC D&D? How Was/Is It?

    I ran my first ever game of BECMI last night (RC version). I'd built and stocked a dungeon, and my players got through four rooms and two random encounters. We stopped as a third random encounter (4 orcs) turned up. The party is two fighters, a thief, one retainer (also a fighter) and two...

    Playing actual D&D, I started when I went to uni at 18. I already owned the Advanced Fighting Fantasy books, but had never had a chance to really use them. I'm now 37, 38 in a couple of months.
