Large towers held over the ocean by titans. The titans have been turned to stone.

If you avoid AC-adjusting spells, you can give many of the monsters spellcaster levels without effecting CR.

Is there a way that you could have a flexible CR system, based on the character's abilities? For example, PCs often maximize AC and to-hit bonuses. For example, an 8th level PC with a 24 AC would be an effective level 14 PC against a generic monster that attacked AC. However, against something...

Does anyone have some favorite background music to play at the table that is available for streaming on Google Play (or other streaming services)? The soundtracks are what I was using in the past but lately I've been looking for some ambient background music. The Skyrim ambient background on...

Only if the spider speaks in the voice of Paul Lynde.

There is a game called Torchbearer (a DnD-ish clone) where you track rations and light as part of the game's core mechanic.

What percentage of Barbarians are bear totem? It seems like 90%.

Does this adventure feature a Jerkin' Crocus?

I really enjoyed Hoard of the Dragon Queen.

As a side note I would like to mention that 31 years ago, in 1984, I paid $12 for the Monster Manual. You know how much a 31-year old Monster Manual sells for today? $13. Its amazon best seller rank is 76k-thats really good for a book printed 31 years ago.

At my last convention I played 4 OSR slots. We are looking at fantasy, but Sci Fi OSR is doing very well out there.

I would go with anything that gave you access to the shield spell. Multiclass or Eldritch Knight path is up to you.

"with over $700 Million in sales within the first month and weeks on the bestseller lists of all the major online vendors." That's incredible, I didn't know the sales were so high. Agree on dwarves, they are excellent in every edition.

Complete Book of Humanoids is quite good if you see it around. I also think the later 4e monster books-especially Monster Manual 3 are excellent.

I'm of the same opinion. I just played 13th Age's Eyes of the Stone Thief and it felt so fresh and well, adventurous.

In 1e and 2e it was much easier to instadeath a wizard. For example, in Lost Caves of Tsojncanth there was a rock slide and avalanche that both had a really difficult instadeath save for wizards. Or in Shrine of the Kuo Toa, there are these kuo-toa assassins that will also instadeath a wizard...

I would say 5th level 5e PCs are about as powerful as 10th level 1e PCs. The spellcasters are closer in power but everyone else is far more powerful (Fighters with x7 shield spells, barbarian rage for half damage, rogue sneak attack is less deadly to setup than backstab was).

How about trading the PCs levels to level up the companion. For example, the rest of the party is 10th level but the Ranger is 8th level with a CR 1/2 or CR 1 pet.

I'd rather see something new honestly. I hope the adventure turns out well, but it looks like pastiche from Perkins.

But you did have to tithe. Oh, painful tithe.
