I see they have a D&D 5e nexus but it seems to lead to Tal'dorai. I assume there will only be third party published stuff there.

What is Demiplane? Is it like Herolab?

I asked my players' characters to leave their weapons and armor at the entrance booth because, you know, it's a carnival. If they don't want to part with their precious weapons (they didn't), I asked them to at least peace bind them with a flimsy piece of ribbon. I didn't inform them of this...

I call it the 50th anniversary edition.

My world of Everbee takes inspiration from the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation. I have a whole series of saints correlating with cleric specializations. And a whole history of the ongoing conflict between the Geardan and Grimman sects.

Yes! I mean what else are we going to do? I don't drive across town burning expensive gasoline and paying bridge tolls to turn my nose up and hold out for better imaginary treasure. And if that +1 sword doesn't have a name, I'm going to give it one. 🙃

These "miniatures" remind me of the guy who would show up to Pathfinder Society games with a fat-guy-sitting-on-a-couch eating-a-bucket-of-chicken as a miniature.

Oh yeah, Sword Art Online is one I would actually like to see them do, and they'd probably do it well.

Harry Potter seems to be a good fit.

Gregory Maguire's World of Oz seems to be right up Wizards of the Coast's alley.

I used to do that back in the '80s with my bard. Nowadays I have recreated the same character in different campaigns and different systems.

That is one thing I like about Shadowdark. Given that different characters can get different amounts of bonus experience points through carousing, they can be of slightly different levels at any given time.

I have run two Shadowdark adventures. The first I created myself and I ran it like any other 5e game. We had fun. I didn't really focus on the darkness; although their was an interesting scene where the Characters fought the Medusa in the dark, which neutralized her ability to petrify them...

I appreciate the black and white art. I also like how the cover looks like a satanic bible. But most of all, I like the non-glossy pages. I want to write in the margin of my books and glossy pages make this harder.

Yeah, I don't disagree. In fact I just ran the Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur written by Ms. Dione, and she specifically calls out the humanoids in that adventure as being dark adapted. My point is, when we began playing Shadowdark we thought all monsters could see in the dark, including...

It was funny when we were first making characters for Shadowdark and we realized that you could play a goblin that can't see in the dark fighting goblins that can see in the dark. However, it's easy to overlook but on page 189 it does say that non-humanoid creatures are adapted to living in the...

Yes indeed, humanoid monsters are not darkness adapted so one would expect their lairs to be lit.

Maybe we're trying to add a modern idea to something that is trying to be less modern. Maybe the modern idea is that a Player should always get to do something on their turn. Maybe Shadowdark doesn't care. Maybe sometimes your turn comes up, you roll the dice, and nothing happens. Fighters get...

Thank you Puknui for casting light on Jasper's garbled transmission from the void:

I've run level 13 of the Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Trobriand's Graveyard a few times with Fury Road enhancements in as many campaigns.
