    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for Short Adventure Recommendations

    Uncaged volumes 1-4. They are all one-shots, but easily half of them beg for an additional couple scenes to setup or wrap up, so you could make them more than a single session's worth of gaming with minimal work. Same with 12 Days of Midwinter and the many entries in the Encounters in the...

    D&D General Do players REALLY care about the game world?

    Depends on what the game is about per Session Zero. If we're expecting exploration or investigation to be heavy, I care more about the world. If it's "We're playing Tomb of Horrors" or "Die Vecna" or something the world could be whatever generic fantasy grab bag as long as the fights and...

    Worlds of Design: WANTED - More Game Masters

    I don't think it's a minority at all. Even folks using elements of published adventures homebrew large parts, and the sales of third party monster books and the like suggests published adventures couldn't possibly make use of all the sources of monsters, magic items, new classes and spells, etc...

    D&D General Mechanical differences between AD&D and Basic?

    AD&D had a love for d100 rolls: morale, initial attitude/reaction. Initiative, charging, spell casting time: radically different. Thief skill progression. Fleeing/ chase rules I believe movement and range measurements were changed nearly across the board. Not positive on that one, though...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Boxed Sets, what should WotC make?

    Could be, but there's still $45 to go before the pricing the others and I originally noted, so I virtually guarantee Wizards could produce something in that range that works. It's all a pipe dream though, because they don't make Pathfinder Pawns🤣

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Boxed Sets, what should WotC make?

    Not to pick on you because many others have said this, but a thing about the price point hit me today when I pulled up the Pathfinder 2E Beginner Box: It has every component I mention minus cards for $30-45 (depending where you buy it). Cut the included book page counts by the monster+magic...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5e Boxed Sets, what should WotC make?

    You're absolutely right. I think my ideal requires a complete overhaul of the gameline itself is produced, which is why I bring up the player box side of things. As it stands now, a DM who wants to have "all the stuff" (not literally all books and gewgaws, but a healthy minimum for...

    A Look Inside The Unspeakable Tomes of the Malleus Monstrorum

    I suspect it's a playstyle thing first and foremost--there's always some players and a GM willing to go down the road of running combat even in CoC--but maybe more importantly it serves the Pulp Cthulhu audience? I'm just guessing, but since I picked this and Masks of Nyarlathotep up, seems like...
