I hadn't actually realised they'd changed the English version of the name last year. So I should have said there's a reason why it was called the Welsh Assembly for the first 20-odd years of its existence. It matters to me, although a fair bit of progress has been made over the years. I dunno...

The UK is a very centralised state. The central government only devolves power when it absolutely has to (and is quite willing to grab it back again if necessary). A devolved English parliament would be too much of a rival, although there could possibly be a dozen or so regional parliaments one...

I have no idea how many people are playing 1e (it might be more than you think) but I expect the vast majority of them who were interested in the OA book already have it. However, there is also a 3rd edition book called Oriental Adventures.

I already knew that. I'm almost certain that you knew that I already knew that. However, now you definitely know that I already knew that. Advice on this thread has ranged the whole gamut from google for what's not in the book, make up stuff that's not in the book, and change or ignore stuff...

Do you have a source for that? Page 14 of ToA is inconclusive; it strongly implies Ubtao is gone and forgotten, but also has the phrase "Ubtao himself is no longer popular" when it would have been easy enough to either change to "Ubtao himself is no longer worshipped" or even "Ubtao himself is...

There have been undead infesting Chult since 2nd edition. (In another post you mentioned the 2nd edition book on Chult, so possibly you already know this.) It is also mentioned on the Ras Nisi description on page 229 of Tome of Annihilation. There is of course also the undead created by the...

Chult is a bad example. In Chult, the 3rd edition FRSC was pretty much invalidated by the 4th edition setting, which completely wiped out the native Chultan society but kept the colonial holding of Port Nyanzaru intact and added a few other colonial settlements. All the Chultans were eaten by...

You might be right, but the only opinion I have to offer is my own.

It's not getting me down, and I don't need on-line maps. I have every single Forgotten Realms Campaign setting. They have maps in them. The first three show Chult as a peninsular (assuming they show it at all - I'm assuming 1st and 2nd edition maps had Chult on them, not interested in going...

I think something like SCAG would do a good job of providing an over-view of the setting and a common baseline for writing adventures. I did find the SCAG itself lacking in some areas - for instance, it doesn't tell you whether Chult is an island or a peninsular (ToA doesn't either) because they...

I think that most people who want to run a non-death curse campaign in Chult can probably come up with a reason for the characters being there. Presumably a reason connected to the actual campaign they plan on running. They might even suggest playing characters who are native Chultans. I...

Hopefully you are exaggerating a bit, and the question was more along the lines of "As a native of Chult, what do I know about this item/location/NPC?" To which I'd have replied "As a tortle you aren't very familiar with the ancient items/locations/people of the human Chultan culture, which...

I do like the idea of a Chult hexcrawl, but if I ever ran one I think I'd ask the players to consider playing native chultan characters, as it gives more of a tie in to the setting and makes hooks easier.

My go-to in that situation is to turn the problem back on the players. Have the NPCs constantly scrying on the PCs, and attacking them when they are vulnerable, and see what the player do about it. Then have your BBEGs copy it.

Drivethru's shipping cost in the UK is very reasonable, as they have a UK printing facility. I realise that doesn't help anyone in Canada, but I didn't want anyone in the UK to potentially be put off by your comment.

Yeah, you can't mention ACKS at RPG.net. I've got no complaints with the way they moderated me - I broke the rules in ignorance, they deleted my post, told me why they had done it, and we all got on with our lives. Their reasoning is: Mr Macris's interpretation of the events that led up to...

RPG net is a great place for discussing games other than D&D (it's fine for D&D as well) and if you have an idea for a type of game you want to play and ask for suggestions as to which system to use then you'll get loads of suggestions. Albeit many of them RPGs you've probably never heard of...

As I understand it, per their licensing agreement with Frog God, all the money Judges Guild gets from Tegel Manor goes towards meeting their commitments on the City State of the Invincible Overlord kickstarter (which is currently 5 years late). How that's working out in practice I have no...

Gabor Lux has also published his own take on the haunted house, Castle Xyntillan. It's for Swords & Wizardry, rather than 5th edition, however.

Ah, the innocence of youth. We used to let clerics use the lucerne hammer (it's a hammer, of course clerics can use it!) and (when playing Call of Cthulhu) assumed you could put a 20mm cannon in your pocket (it's tiny!)
