Ah, my mistake. Red Hand was the one with all the taxidermist humanoids; Expedition to the Ruins of Castle Greyhawk was the one with all the invisible librarian beholders.

I'd love to see a 320-page book of one page dungeons. Now that's a book I'd pay $50 for.

Bastion of the Boglings is one of the best adventures I've ever run (especially since my players had never seen a water weird before).

It's not like the precise measurements are important anyway. According to the rules, an average human can lift 150 pounds and jump 10 feet without even having to roll.

Well, Tharizdun is a god, and he's mentioned with the Trickery domain in Appendix B, and as a "great old one" in the Warlock section, so...

So I'm planning my next campaign, and I'm trying to get ideas. Anyone have any favorite sci-fantasy stuff? Non-D&D things are fine, as long as they work in a classic D&D context (i.e., dudes with swords and pointy hats have to be able to interact with it in non-boring ways).

Dude, there's not even a DMG yet. According to Morrus's sources, an official one by GF9 will be out in January.

At some point, Mike Mearls described the encounter-building advice as "make your dungeon with whatever makes sense, then, if you really care, you can go back and find out how tough each fight will be." Of course, he's been saying stuff like that for years, and the encounter building guidelines...

What is this "little bearded guy" gnome that people are talking about? Unless I'm missing something, there's only one picture of a gnome in the whole book, and it doesn't have a beard. It does look disturbing as all hell, but that's another matter.

For the magic missile thing, I'd say the first spell has to target only the first creature, and the copy has to target only the second creature. So, in total, two creatures get three missiles each. Chain lightning specifically mentions "a target" and "as many as three other targets," so if you...

Dude, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have been so hostile. I'm glad this ended like this.

I have no evidence to back up my claim. Thanks for making it personal, though. I'm so glad you felt the need to immediately and publicly tell the author that I was personally accusing him of committing a crime (note the word "probably" in my original post, thus making it neither a claim nor an...

If anything, I think your claim ("there's an article about a new/upcoming game, and it couldn't possibly be an advertisement paid for by the game's publisher") is more extraordinary than mine.

Red Hand of Doom? Isn't that the one with all the invisible taxidermist librarian beholders?

At my table, I've successfully soft-banned the array/pointbuy. "Sure you can use the array, if you want to be LAME." For my upcoming supercampaign, I'm considering different tiers of character randomness. Like, you can roll [highest 3 of 4d6] in order, or 3d6 arrange to taste, or an array of...

It probably means Hasbro is giving them money.

Hey. You're awesome. Can I make one request? Page numbers. For this one and the spell one. Also noting which spells are bonus actions (or just a general "casting time" column). Okay, that was like 3 requests. I can do these if you don't want to.

It disappoints me that save-the-world railroads are apparently the most profitable, since I have no desire to play or run them, and I think they're generally bad design for an RPG (where you're supposed to be able to do anything).

Printing a couple dozen copies and shipping them to one place seems easy. Printing a couple hundred thousand copies and shipping them to thousands of game/book stores worldwide probably takes a bit longer.

[/LIST] It sounds like you have a really awesome and creative DM, because most of that is not in the adventure as written. The first two points aren't in the book at all, and the rest seems like a really good DM's interpretation/improv of encounters that are barely described in the book.
