I’m so glad Mouse is on here! He was my Rogue mental image growing up.

As a child of 2E I can't shift the idea that there are two flavours of magic: Arcane, which comes from the manipulating the subtle connections between the planes and Divine, which is like an emergent property of life, but is intensely focused in the Gods. (Then there was psionics as the third...

I did something similar. In my session 0 the players created their characters, which were definitely more rough and tumble Baldurians than holy Elturgardians, and, conveniently for me, they were all searching for loved ones who had gone missing (and who I had decided had fled to Elturel just in...

I’ve been wondering the exact same thing! I think 1) makes the most sense but it’s not stated anywhere.

I've just finished DMing Princes of the Apocalypse and I'm really glad that Past Me took the time to make a spreadsheet of who was in which room of the megadungeon. It meant I could, at a glance, figure out who might hear a battle and come running, and it meant that if the characters took a long...

I'm just prepping for Session 1 of my BGDiA campaign, ready to start this Sunday, and already your Bundle has been super helpful - thank you!

I too know nothing about the Witcher, never played the games, never ead the books, but by the third episode I was really loving the series; the decades wide time-split felt like a feature not a bug; the moment of surprise when the time-frames were revealed were really exciting, and it created a...

Yes, I hadn't seen in Dolly Wells in anything before but she's brilliant as Sister Agatha (and then was saddled with a really dour great niece, or whatever she was.)

Yup, strongly agree. Dracula managed to encapsulate everything I loved and hated about their version of Sherlock; brilliant setups, great characters, coming from an old story with a fresh feel, but then losing their way because they're more interested in being clever than being entertaining...

I had a player who was always a psionicist in 2E. We liked psionics so much I came up with a setting based around conflict between psionics, divine and arcane magic with a totalitarian church using psionics inquisitors to hunt down other psionicists and mages. The players seemed to have fun as...

Ah, bless the internet! Someone's already made one: here Seems pretty comprehensive. Sets up the themes but not the details of the story.

Yeah, I really like the dark secret for the way it gives the party some history but was disappointed that it never got a call back in the actual adventure. Still, I'm very happy to change the adventure as I go to make it more bespoke to my party (that's been the most fun part of PoA for me.) I'm...

Sorry that was me being confusing - the parallel with Batman cities is how I was going to quickly explain how those two places are different (they are newish to the realms.) But yeah, cutting and pasting from the FR Wiki would be just as useful. Thanks for the other tips!

My group of first-time players are finally nearing the end of Princes of the Apocalypse and I've started to drop hints at the next campaign, which I'm planning to be BG:DiA. They've been playing the pre-gens from LMoP so this will be their first time creating characters and even though we've not...

Very late to the party but I would also love any conversion notes on this if anyone has them! Planning a Halloween one-shot.

Just finished reading it cover to cover and can't wait to run it for my players! The only change that's occurred to me so far is the book mentions the optional rule of a daily Wis save or have your alignment change to LE (reversible with Dispel Evil and Good, as per DMG p.64) I like that being...
