Any time I hear about someone being into crypto my respect for them goes down...

I'm going to make a wild guess and say the only people that are discussing this are the Senator and the reporters that read the press release. This will die a quiet, rapid, and deserved death.

Same - I guess if I wanted to spend multiple hours whipping a published adventure into shape, I would have just homebrewed an adventure and saved myself $50. The reason I buy a book is because I don't have that kind of time.

Whenever a discussion like this comes up I realize I can never really understand what people are looking for in a "good" adventure. So many times the I hear "Well, I played X and we had fun" but I'd argue that "fun" has more to do with the group than the adventure itself because I know we've...

I don't think it's going to be that big of a deal except for the people that have already decided they hate everything 5e. (The fact of the matter we don't know anything about what the new book are going to have - Perkins said they're wanting them to by backward compatible and he's know what's...

That looks really nice. I like that they did something different than the usual presentation.

I am intrigued but I am also curious to see how usable it will be at the table as opposed to it being a pretty book to read.

Agreed, but I feel like there is a significant difference between "PCs are going to throw something at you out of left field" and "this adventure has fundamental flaws in logic and gameplay that the editor apparently chose to ignore"

Just because D&D is incredibly hackable doesn't mean we should settle for poor design. Nobody goes to Wendy's and says "oh yeah - I ordered a burger and fries but they gave me a raw potato and four ounces of ground beef but that's cool, I just went home and cooked it all because I really...

For some reason, I don't find converting a decent 1e or 2e adventure as difficult as repairing a broken or incomplete adventure. I just find that with WOTC adventures (or anything that follows the "adventure path" template) are easily broken if the players guess wrong and that they focus way...

Thanks for these suggestions, I really appreciate them. I've been thinking about looking into the OAR line before since I remember a lot of those adventures fondly from way back when.

My current group is level five, but I'm honestly interested in well-made adventures of all levels for future use.

I'd love to know if you can remember specifics though - I find it way easier to convert a decent adventure than to fix a broken one. (I even made another thread asking for suggestions if we are derailing things here)

Not to belabor it, but I feel like the "who cares how far the distance is" misses the point in this case - that based on the anecdote, there is a chance a character will basically be sucked into a Sphere of Annhiliation with no hope of return and no appeal. Nobody likes to have their character...

I asked this question in a different thread but I thought I would throw it out to a wider audience: I am finishing a 5e campaign in the next month and I am, to put it mildly, disappointed with adventures that require a large amount of fixing. I'm not a new DM so I understand any prewritten...

It also suffers from the problem of several uber powerful NPCs incapable of solving a problem so obviously if falls to a few third level tavern owners. Come on, why wouldn't they? Rings of Feather Fall exist, among other things. It is also not unreasonable to ask why this particular fall is...

So what adventures did you find easy to run as-is? I'm needing something else and it sounds like RotFM isn't for me...

My feelings on updating the old settings is complicated. When I first read the 5e PHB there was some bit in the front (sorry, it is not within easy reach) that alluded to all the old stuff coming back which I was totally excited about at the time but I have not liked their implementation. I was...

The elevator pitch is a good one - "Ocean's Eleven in D&D? Sign me up!" Unfortunately it comes off as pretty half-baked and while I acknowledge there's always some on-the-fly improv a DM needs to do, it is way more than should be expected in a fifty dollar product.

As I read through this thread I keep thinking "Dragon Heist, yep, Dragon Heist..." and it seems like I am not the only one with a deep and abiding distaste for that book. The fact that so many people say it's one of WOTC's best baffles me. That the dedication of the book refers to "hundreds of...
