How compatible are the different versions? My guess would be that new editions are generally a great way to drum up interest for a game in general, and in this day and age with access to digital copies of every edition of everything (just about), that helps even the older editions. If the...

Great work and congratulations, Travis!

Seasonal Surprises Vol. 1 is now available at the DMsGuild! This collection of 15 wicked monsters (plus a template), 8 mysterious magic items, and 6 scalable encounters all share a holiday theme to help add some pumpkin spice and loads of challenges to your Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition games...

I nearly stopped taking it because of that. I HATE when they do that, and while I understand why tests like that exist in other mediums, it makes absolutely no sense here. If they get conflicting answers within one survey, then in turn they will get erratic data across many surveys and...how...

Audacious indeed! I ran several sessions in it but the group semi-folded, and when we got back together we played other stuff. I've often thought back to this dungeon and how there are so many good ideas within it, but the scope of making it into something better always seemed just outside of...

Fair enough. Here's my additional knowledge beyond that article: *my personal sales #s *those of about a dozen out of the top several dozen sellers on the Guild (that I've seen with my own eyes) *I work in eCommerce *I'm currently working on an eCommerce project surrounding the hobby games...

http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/guild-adept-program Chris Lindsay has said in just about every interview how successful it is, how it's grown way bigger than expected, and how they are taking steps to better curate and market the content because of how good it is. The Guild Adept program...

I have no evidence to support this other than Gary's writings with Jeff Talanian for Castles & Crusades -- basically, Jeff was converting AD&D-era rules to C&C, and that's clear in the writing in parts where they directly state things like "if you want to use a % system for thief skills..." --...

Correct to the best of my research ability: http://www.thepiazza.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?t=14711 To another poster's point, Gygax Games spun out of TriGee Enterprises (or they are connected via some other means); they are the only companies I believe that Gail was a part of in any official...

We use option 3 in my games all the time; 5E supports breaking up your move over your turn, so why not use that? That said, we've made it a house rule that if a character or creature uses the Ready action for something relatively generic (most actions: attack, dash, dodge, open a door, activate...

All great advice. I've run a series of articles (tag: gm boot camp) on my blog where I try to look at the practical setup of things at the game table or during the prep phase. Highlights: What's on my DM screen DM binders (2 articles) Using published adventures and campaigns Table rules...

For something very much like that, check out Jeff Stevens "Encounters in the..." series: Encounters in the Savage Jungles, ...Savage Cities, etc. He specializes in getting writers to collaborate and offer encounters and maps for those releases (I'm in Encounters in the Savage Jungles), so they...

I think they are already doing exactly that, but rather than in survey form, that's the point of DMsGuild existing and (again, finally) having POD options. And to a lesser degree, having items cross-sold on DnDBeyond (Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron) and the various cartographer's own sites (maps...

Well, there goes my one gripe! 5 stars, would recommend

That's my only gripe with this thing. If they said in the product description that it was playtest material, I'd be okay with that because I'd know up-front it's a no-buy for me. But that fact is buried inside of the last paragraph of Keith Baker's introductory text (which is mostly reminiscing...

For anyone who comes across Game Natural's website trying to scam new customers on this release: http://www.neuronphaser.com/scam-alert-the-hunters-mark-is-back-on-sale-because-stealing-20k-wasnt-enough/

Agreed; that's a clean sheet, and is the first of the previews that I've found favorable. That gear setup looks so simple, clean, and functional. I'm hoping it's fairly easy to port and most of all complete so any conversion to other OSR/D&D games doesn't require coming up with my own lists of...

I didn't know about that! Thanks for the info. I'll look into it: I do my best not to support toxic people, but I know some people get labeled unfairly based on an online persona or a misunderstanding. If you have any links to the problems you mention, don't hesitate to share them, but don't...

Can I ask why? I've enjoyed some of their articles though I don't care for the overly verbose lead-ins. Is there something I should watch out for, as someone who was considering backing it but hasn't hopped off the fence about it?
