One of my favorite games and the printed scenarios like Rogue Mistress were so much fun. I still have all the old Stormbringer materials, from 1st edition through 5th, Elric! and the Mongoose Elric books.

This is why men must kill the gods. :) There's always wish and clone.

5 out of 5 rating for Adventures in Middle-earth Player's Guide Adventures in Middle-Earth Player's Guide for 5E set out to allow players to experience the unique setting and experience of Tolkien's writing and does exactly that. It replaces stock, generic races with specific cultures, which...

What if I hold Strahd's head under a sink? :)

My friend and I share the same setting, A Greyhawk campaign set in a dark age, with greater barbarism, wilderness, etc. He's running a campaign set in Rel Astra. We've four players, all from the same family, three brothers and a first cousin. We're all nobles, and we were sent away by our father...

"Your deaths, are only the beginning."

My group is still into building castles, towers, guilds, etc. When a character hits 20th level, it's fun to make them part of the "world building" fabric and add that dimension to the game.

I happen to like conversion notes. If Wizards is sticking with Forgotten Realms, but has a section or chapter on conversions to other settings, I can live with that.

Heretics! Heathens! Your souls will burn in the Nine and three quarters hells! Sometimes I award XP, other times it's milestones. :)

The Paladin is already designed to fight undead and fiends. I don't see a specific archetype emerging that's focus on undead because of the base class and its divine smite. An "Inquisitor" or an "Oath of the Inquisitor" seems like a possibility, with a focus on hunting warlocks and such. Maybe...

Halflings. Yep. I once made a home setting with no halfings. If there's a slaughter of a village by Orcs, it's a Halfling village. Halfing NPCs? Star Trek red shirt.

So, DC 10+prof+ Wis mod. I think that works. How do you determine "hit points?" Also, you indicated social attacks are charisma based. Could it also be intelligence based? Or maybe, either charisma or intelligence helps determines your social hit points? Something like the total of your...

I'm not clear on how this works. Let's say I subtlety threaten a noble. So, my attack would be an Intimidation Roll against the noble's "AC" which is determined how? What's the social defense? Are these instead opposed rolls? I like this conceptually, but needed a better understanding of the flow.

I think the "devils" are due, with a nice ensemble of arch-devils to round out what once was in the MM.

The deliverer of un-named damage:

I never played Magic: The Gathering, though I know there's a whole new generation of gamers that have and continue to do so. Having said that, there's a ton of really good concepts in this setting. If nothing else, it adds to the "multiverse" if you're interested in planar travel, or there's...

What if you made a concentration spell?

1) "War of the Worlds" on Oerth (Greyhawk) with a Fraal invasion; Magic vs. high tech. 2) "Against the Overmind." Starting the PCs as slaves of the Mindflayers and taking it from there. 3) "Origins" Starting the characters as the first human civilization.

I look at player character classes in 5E as the "rare few" the exceptional individuals of the setting. Most NPCs will be variations of what's in the back of the Monster Manual. The primary antagonists of the PCs, I'll add class levels to set them apart from other NPCs.
