Paranoia is excellent. it’s not fantasy but can be reskinned to a fantasy world dominated by castes and priests. And it’s awesome that way.

Today we did the first part of “City on the Edge,” which is a Tomb of Annihilation affiliated mini-module. Took us about 2.5 hours. It’s for low-levels but my party is 8th level, so I had to up the encounters a lot. I was worried that they’d get TPK’d by the archmage I through at them at the...

When I found out Ral Parthia were available for purchase, it destroyed me.

Yes. I’m really hoping they do. It would work so well. Unfortunately, it will probably come out too late for me since the party I’m DMing just arrived in Chult.

We had a battlemap that we ruined with markers that we’re wet erase. Bought it at a NYC shop. Either Forbidden Planet or Compleat Strategist. But what we really used was a giant piece of graph paper that we covered with a big piece of plastic that worked as a transparent wet erase board. It...

I really wish they had done a Tomb of Annihilation Platinum Edition. I really like the Rime of the Frost Maiden Platinum edition.

We played in the 1980s with plenty of minis and battlemats we ruined with magic markers.

Thanks for the suggestion! We watched a film on Yanomamo when I was in school, ifrc. Anyway, I don’t think they could support even a small city with their lifestyle. What do these merchant princes trade, given the low level of production in Chult? I’m more and more thinking it is serves as a...

These are really great suggestions. The workings of the economy of Port Nyanzaru, as written, are pretty nonsensical. The city would basically need to import everything it consumes because the lands outside the city have become uninhabitable. There doesn't really seem to be any agriculture. I'm...

My party is obsessed with being merchants. They began as caravan guards bringing goods from Luskan to Bryn Shander. When the caravan master was killed, they took over the business and made a small fortune selling scrimshaw in Waterdeep. They turned part of Trollskull Manor into a hub for selling...

This sounds really cool. There's a Wickerpunk element to my version of Tomb of Annihilation and I really plan to amp that up when we get around to Rime of the Frostmaiden.

I'm DMing a group through Storm King's Thunder. They followed up on the Artus Cimber quest and instead of making it a dead end, I decided to let them pursue him down to Chult. So now I'm running a modified Tomb of Annihilation. There's no Death Curse. The party is trying to find Artus Cimber...

Nice ideas! Thanks!

Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't really answer the question.

SPOILER ALERT! Pock Marked Po is the Zhentarim agent in Port Nyanzaru. My question is how he got that way? How did Pock Marked Po wind up part of the Zhentarim? How does he communicate with with Zhents? What is he doing to advance their goals? I’m looking for answers that are either from the...

Another interesting bit I left out of my earlier post. ”The other thing to note is that within D&D, there's this digital role-playing area that we're really investing in.”

An update on D&D from Wall Street. In the second quarter earnings report, Hasbro called out D&D revenue growth. D&D revenue grew in both analog and digital. ”We take a holistic approach and are pleased with the direction of our digital transformation. For Dungeons & Dragons, which grew in...

I play with my daughters, now 9 and 12. We’ve been playing for two years. They had no problem picking up the simple mechanics of 5th Edition. It’s much, much easier and intuitive than AD&D. The adventurers are meant for smaller parties. Usually around 4 players plus a DM. So you can play most...
