Augury isn’t a psion spell. Just for the record. I have no problem with psion spells requiring a focus usually a crystalline gem to anchor their psychic abilities. Growing an astral construct through a gemstone feels pretty on the money flavour wise for me. Your expectation that psionics not...

I’m going to throw Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay into the mix. It has gone through 4 popular editions and spawned a host of spin offs and copy’s. Probably for thr tone as much as anything. Low magic, gritty, Grimdark, with a British sense of humour.

I think the end of season 3 was meh. Alcair Dal was basically a spot among some sand dunes. I don’t think it was quite up to the standards epic epic of the books.

I’m pretty sure you recommended it to me in an earlier thread. A year or two ago. It didn’t disappoint! Thanks so much.

@Autumnal I would recommend one called King For A Day. It’s a sandbox campaign that remakes the first chapter of Night Below into a dark, psychological horror which is systemless. It’s very good, very atmospheric and well crafted. Endzeitgheist wrote a glowing five star review if these things...

I’ll go out on left field and say Planescape Torment, it’s the most Planescape product ever released for the setting. It’s available on IOS and is very playable. Well worth checking lit. “What can change the nature of man?”

One more thing is to have creatures take up 10’ squares as standard instead of 5’ squares and use a 10’ grid. It much easier to map the generally larger fly speeds on a 10’ scale rather than 5’ and diagonal movement becomes easier because it 10’ adjacent moves and 15’ for diagonal moves.

It’s a lot of complexity to add in for a single arial encounter. Make sure whatever extra rules you put in for simulationist reasons are worth it. There is nothing wrong with running 5e flight combats as written in 5e rules. That said if you want more simulationist rules while keeping to the...

Quite enjoying Alan Wake 2. Thoroughly enjoyed the original and love how the sequel riffs off the original. Frankly the graphics, story and atmosphere is amazing. It has a great true crime vibe to it as well. Early days but really enjoying it. Also really enjoying my go to guilty pleasure - 7...

That would be the caveat where I think pregen could work - inexperienced players or veteran players + new system. In those circumstances being able to jump straight into the game is no bad thing. That said in neither case would I start at level 12. There would be loads of people I would think...

I wouldn’t play a pregen for anything longer than a single session. I see no virtue in a pregen. If you want PCs to play simple characters ask them to make simple characters.

I quite like the 9pm - 12am I do on Wednesday’s because I get less grief from my partner because we’ve still spent most of the evening together but it’s not too late for me to feel knackered getting up at 7:30am for work the next day.

The thread is kind of explicit in the title. I’ve been in weeknight sessions that started at 7pm, 9pm, even 11pm and went long into the night. But I also played alongside folks in those sessions from other time zones that started at maybe 3 or 4pm in the afternoon. Let’s assume for the sake of...

I would say they are more common than you would think and most of the larger published adventures I played in 2e had a magical sword in it. Finslayer from Night Below, The Sword of the Dales, The Lost Sword. Not to mention the BG classics Carsomyr and the Singjng Sword.

We do. Progression is entirely a DM decision. Most 5e campaigns are extremely easy. You could easily compress most 1-10 campaigns to 1-7 or 3-8. Moreover as I said, there are multiple modules within that you can combine in any ways that you chose - if that’s what you’re looking for. I would...

I think maybe the structure of 5e campaigns is being overlooked. They can easily be viewed as modules gathered along a theme and location. Cures of Strahd is actually 11 small modules with the last one being larger. Tomb of Annihilation is a dozen small modules with 2 big end ones Rime of the...

I caught up with the WFRP 4e books I hadn’t bought yet, the Dwarf Players Guide, The Elf Playerd Guide and the Dwarf GM resource. Honestly if you want to play non-humans as culturally different in any system and not just short/slim humans then you could do worse than these books. A really good...

Every country wants to be at the coal face of AI. The Californians make it hard then there is a queue of other folks waiting to take their place.

Yikes. Sorry was this the thread on EnWorld where we talk about the products we’re excited about. Sorry think I might have got turned around somewhere. Seems to be full of angry people who don’t play or buy 5e products as usual. Honestly for me it’s all of them except Keep on the Borderlands...
