Back when we were playing in my parents basement, mostly AD&D (first edition although second edition came out while we were playing; we just ignored it), four hours was considered extremely short. Frequently played 6 to 8 hours, often staying up all night, sometime napping and then coming back...

This was Awesome. Thanks. Exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out.

I think what will hold me back from buying this, in addition to the price, is the specificity of the pieces. I just don’t think I’d get much use out of many of them outside of playing through the official campaign.

I’ve been meaning to ask this: how do those brick things work? How many do I have to buy to get more or less all the minis on offer?

I got nothing. Just “thanks for taking the survey.”

I think that may be right. It’s an 8th level adventure and without the legendary action it seems underpowered.

The text on page 122 of Candlekeep Mysteries says that the corrupted avatar has legendary actions but the stat block does not list any. Am I missing something?

The pricing of these early Dragon magazines amazes me. In today's dollars, this is the equivalent of $9.58. So these were expensive magazines.

I think we would definitely be willing to pay if it would improve our games. Like a lot of folks, most of the grownups in my group (we’re an intergenerational gaming group) have unexpectedly accumulated savings because so many of the recreational things we used to spend our money on (sports...

I’ve been DMing a pretty large group for about two years now. The last year has been done over Zoom calls. Two of the players live with me so they are in the room but the other five play remotely. The Zoom call thing works okay and I can show battle maps by pointing my phone or tablet at the...

Same here. We had a lot of fun with it. I remember the hand-to-hand combat was complex and for some reason “rabbit punch” was always the best choice.

Good points. I'm in. Just subscribed.

I like Matt Coville. I’d love to hear some reviews of the mounted rules. I’ll buy it if they are any good but I’m hesitant to spend $7 risking disappointment. What are they? Is it just a bunch of weird mounts or does it add good, interesting mechanics?

Repeat message. Sorry

Congratulations and thank you for the work!

One of my players wished that his character could never be captured, imprisoned, or held against his will. It was a very cool power that we had a lot of fun with in future games. It was basically a permanent get out of jail free card. But, of course, it didn't free other party members, didn't...

For my purposes, the published adventures have worked really well. I think the great innovation was the flow chart. It really helped. They should publish, at least online, indexes so you can look stuff up more easily. I tend to chop the adventures up and blend them with one another. The...

It's still a bit vague, to be honest. What I'd like is to have a creepy, atmospheric adventure where the players have to figure out a mystery. And, in the end, the big reveal is Mass Sacrifice. Like Wickerman but on a much larger scale. One of the ideas I had was to make it a kind of double...

I've pretty much been a DM since I started playing. I had three younger brothers and a few friends who loved the game but really wanted to play characters so it fell to me to DM. I loved designing worlds and plots so it worked well. We had a long campaign based in Greyhawk from, say, 1986 to...
