    Essential system/edition independent books

    Some great suggestions here, and even though I count myself a gaming veteran, I'm ashamed to admit there are a lot of products I've not heard of, certainly some food for thought :)

    Essential system/edition independent books

    I'm curious how do approach using grimtooths traps? Do you convert it into the system you are running and allow the characters to make relevent checks to spot and disarm the trap, or do you just drop in enough hints and hope the players work it out?

    Essential system/edition independent books

    I bought a lot of 4e books when it was coming round to end of life and never read them heroes of the feywild included, I shall give it a read, thank you

    Essential system/edition independent books

    So I'm currently playing PF2 and I have the books I need for that system. However I really want some good reading that will hopefully enhance my campaign. So are there any books you'd recommend that could do this, either system neutral ones or maybe even books of a particular system that you...

    Pathfinder 2E Actual AP Play Experience

    Although I have emphasised that hard encounters are hard, I've found that the guidelines work well for whatever difficulty level you require, I've only had to fudge one encounter and that was early on when I wasn't fully familiar with the system, and I haven't had one TPK.

    Pathfinder 2E Actual AP Play Experience

    I wouldn't give up on PF2, I enjoy 5e a lot but after playing it since its release our group was getting to the point where characters were starting to feel the same, and as @Celtavian mentioned were falling back onto the accepted powebuilds. So when it was my turn to DM I decided to look for...

    Spelljammer Spelljammer in 5e

    Not yet and not 5e, my campaign is PF2 and the second half of the campaign should we ever get there will be a converted spelljamming campaign. So I'm reading this thread with interest! I really do like @jgsugden idea, sounds fantastic! It was absolutely my favourite DnD thing growing up, I...

    D&D General Next Generation VTT

    I think for me the differential has to be between VTT and video game, I lived NWN 2 and would love a current gen version of it, however it's a video game and not what I'd want in a VTT. I like to use a VTT to enhance the imagination and fill in some finer details, not the other way around...

    D&D General Joe Manganiello's D&D Campaign Includes a Game of Thrones Creator & Vince Vaughn

    Take away the fame aspect and to me it sounds very much like how my group started off, with me and a friend then added a few work colleagues and then finally a friend of one of my work colleague who was interested. The fact there are no women is neither here nor there for this article. It...

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2e: Actual Play Experience

    And to me that's a plus point. I find that building encounters fits what the guidelines say. I love 5e to bits but I found encounter building was more hit and miss and finding the sweet spot for a particular difficulty isn't as easy as easy as in PF2

    Pathfinder 2E Pathfinder 2e: Actual Play Experience

    I am very much the same as @Celtavian I run encounters out of the book as what little prep time I have is dedicated to the story, and my play experience is very similar, a tough encounter really is a tough encounter, and I love this, over the years my players had become a bit blase about...

    Pathfinder 2E Release Day Second Edition Amazon Sales Rank

    Oh I'm not sweating it, with the currently scheduled releases I'll easily have enough material to complete my current campaign. I'm just more disappointed that it's been so poorly received, I think they were caught in between a rock and a hard place, I suspect sales of pf material were dipping...

    Pathfinder 2E Release Day Second Edition Amazon Sales Rank

    Seems like I'm in a minority, but I really hope paizo turn it round and PF2 becomes successful for them, but I'm biased as I think it's a cracking system and my favourite right now.

    Best Miniature painting guide

    Hi So to kill a few hours of lockdown I've dug out my old miniature paints (not actually that old but you know) and decided to finally attempt to start painting some minis. The question I have is where to start, googling it bring up a whole plethora of guides and I really don't have the time...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    And I don't disagree, we have to face it and 'hope for the best, prepare for the worst' is as good a mantra to live by as any. And I'm glad you have that survivalist instinct, that's good, and I'm sure there are many more like you which is also good. I'm pretty content at the moment, like...

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    I'll be honest, if it's as bad as the worst case scenarios are predicting (lockdown for years, food rationing etc), I think I'd rather be dead. There is living and there is existing. So like I said earlier I'll keep praying for that miracle

    D&D and the rising pandemic

    Oh I know, but really I'm pretty much at wits end and clinging to any little bit of optimism I can. Good news is in scant supply, so I try to cherish every little I can.
