    SW1 - The Monastery of Inexorable Truth

    By David Pryzbyla Purple Duck Games Labyrinth Lord Levels 3-4 It is said that the truth will set you free… but is that, itself, the truth? The monks of the Order of Veracity built an amazing monastery complex in the frozen mountains, using the heat of natural magma flows, in order to contemplate...

    1A - The Inheritance

    Family friend, and great adventurer Gildas Trahern is dead. The journey to Caer Brennau to attend his funeral was pleasant enough and uneventful, but who could have predicted what would happen next? Raiding goblins, and thieving kobolds are just the beginning, but when the dragon Galversharn...

    OD&D Advice wanted going back to a OD&D game for nostalgia

    I have some advice, for both you and the players. If the creature is intelligent, then have it pretend like it is armed with only a pocket knife, or rather, it should have that attitude. For the players this tends to shove combat down on the 'list of possible things I could do this turn.' "Are...

    Conclusion to the Living Forgotten Realms Campaign

    I got the vibe that Amaunator was actually Lathander, but like I said, I don't follow any of this and was 1-shotting. As for the ability to affect anything ... it's the BI ... in 4th edition ... in LFR ... you saw what choice implied ... an earth titan showing up to generate random damage.

    Conclusion to the Living Forgotten Realms Campaign

    Alas, I shall not get entwined in your edition warring, your example fallacy or your logical extremes. I know what I like. You are free to like what you wish, no matter what you wish to call it.

    Conclusion to the Living Forgotten Realms Campaign

    You are a scholar and a gentleman, not matter what I think of your opinions further down ... I apologize, I've made this mistake before. I'm an OSR guy and that was written for an OSR group. I simply cut & pasted it here without edit. I'm sure it's a shock coming in cold. Our play style...

    Conclusion to the Living Forgotten Realms Campaign

    My son and I started at Level 1 during the Core 6-1 4-hour game, which was listed as Heroic tier, levels 1-10. At the conclusion of that game you are bumped to level 11. Then we played the double-slot BI, which was Paragon tier only. At the end of that game you are bumped to level 21. I would...

    Conclusion to the Living Forgotten Realms Campaign

    Sorry for the late update. Here's my Winter Fantasy playback, which includes the LFR/Sundering update you wanted. Fair Warning: I don’t follow this :):):):) so I don’t know the background here, or even if this is all common knowledge. I played in the actual “Sundering” event at Winter Fantasy...

    Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle: A Railroady Adventure and Exclusive Gen Con D&D Next Softcover Ruleset

    Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle / 5E WOTC has done about as well as can expected with this adventure. It contains a lot of very very good content in it; a great number of good ideas and ‘advice through examples.’ It’s also a railroad with a whole of bad ideas thrown in … but maybe that a given...

    D&D 5E (2014) How is the Ghosts of Draonspear Castle?

    I think there are a couple of other threads already, but ... I just did a review of it. It's railroady but otherwise generally good. The magic items and treasures are not all straight out of the book, which is great for communicating a magical feeling. An example is a +1 shield with an apple...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle

    I just reviewed this. It's actually pretty good for what it is (a railroad.) It has a decent amount of interesting detail, good NPC's GREAT treasure, and is an excellent resource for learning how to run a game and design adventures. It's WAY too verbose, but it doesn't feel padded like 3e 'pay...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ebay: Ghosts of Dragonspear

    I just did a review of it. It's about playtest rules and half adventure, in four parts. The adventure section is pretty good for what it is (a railroad.) The magic items and details are nice. I hate to rub it in, but you actually ARE missing something if you have any interest in 5e/Next at all...
