Hear, hear to more underground places designed by & for folks with darkvision!

A salient point I felt that someone mentioned in regards to this post, was that regardless of culture, rewards in the past were by and large symbolic, or intended to create or reinforce social bonds/connections in society. This doesn't always mesh finely with a theme of we are adventurers who...

Most of the examples you provided initially are fantastic creatures, monsters or (possibly) otherworldly; a wizard-king could fit what I mean. By someone like the PCs, I mean a villain that is like them, is openly a villain (who doesn't feel a need to conceal themselves), possesses power and...

My thought... someone just like the PC's?

While I am not actively playing in OSR/older edition space; it'd seem that onset times for poisons would be quite helpful to know and keep track of in the case of a investigative/mystery situation. :3

Lawful Good: God's Gonna Cut You Down (Johnny Cash) Lawful Neutral: When The Man Comes Around (Johnny Cash) Lawful Evil: Red Right Hand (Nick Cave & Bad Seeds) Neutral Good: This Train (Sister Rosetta Tharpe) Neutral: These Birds (Virginia and the Flood) Neutral Evil: Fire in the Blood/Snake...

Without needing to delve into particulars, that Delta Green adventure is a ripped from the headlines story; I'd be up to trying it as a player for that game, esp. if it was handled well. Cool to see 1k Vampire ppls craft a multiplayer version as Five Hundred Year Old Vampire. A great title to...

Have you considered or looked at Fléaux! ? Kobayashi/Livres de l'Ours created it in order to have a (OSR style) lighter ruleset that could play WFRP adventures/campaigns.

Was glossing this announcement when I caught your mentioning converting. I just finished a conversion of There Are No Such Things As Skaven to 5E, so I could drop it into my campaign. I felt initially it would be more difficult, but it wasn't terrible at all!

Thanks for doing this, it's immensely helpful just to see the variance! @el-remmen I fall in the slower range; we're coming up on Session #16 w/ the party at 4th level (having started at Level 1). In our case, we average between 2-2.5 hours of actual play (sessions are every 2 weeks), and have...

Smaller, clarifying detail to mention: V20 = 20th anniversary edition VtM; 5e is 5th edition VtM.

A very long thread. My initial thought was to ask whether the party was aware the adversary is a cleric of Asmodeus? I quite like adversarial characters that are open. Should one entertain that offer from a Red Wizard of Thay, for example; because you just never know...

I found I quite liked how Castle Gyllencreutz works in Vaesen. I took inspo from that for the Dragon Heist campaign I'm running. e.g. If the party manages to upgrade their privies, they receive a bonus to gather information at their bastion, because customers are more willing to stay longer at...

Micah already mentioned A5E, which is what I would've suggested initially, but I will be bold & suggest perusing Goblin Laws of Gaming (GLOG) to see if there is a version of it that might be inspiring for you? It checks your homebrew & class boxes pretty well (there are hundreds of specialized...

I touched the book... bound in human skin.

Separately, an anecdote I feel has bearing to this topic: The rogue at my table attempted to climb the wall in a room, in front of the rest of their party. They failed to do so after three consecutive attempts. What was the consequence? Their reputation.

This is how I've handled what do I know about creature encountered, object, person of great renown etc when the party is present. If characters devise another way to make another attempt on a locked door (e.g. kicking it down), and there's time to do it, I'll allow them. They can also try to...

I home brewed some of the faction missions in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, to better tie in with the party's characters by personal backgrounds and class. I anticipate they'll undertake these soon, and when they travel, they'll be A5E journeys!

Most go-to would be Die Hard Dice (Elessia line w/ gold or black numbers; I like this font esp.), as well as Infinite Black (Elder Sign Green d6; this is for when I happen to run Vaesen). For the former, if you find you also like this font, you may want to check out their Rerolls line which are...

I came to this article a bit late due to holidays. With a writer's lens, I don't feel this article is framed well for what it purports to explain, for the following reasons: It states that there were significant rules changes (i.e. more than one!) in the game very early, in fact, near the...
