Here's the larger version.

My conclusion: I think Bill Slavicsek should stick to admin or whatever it is he does as Director of RPG or whatever his title now is. I haven't appreciated anything he has authored for a long time, game product or novel. This book is no different.

One quick question: what if your group says no? Depending on your group, it might be easier to trap them in the Oathbound world and then the campaign becomes one where they try to escape. As a new DM sometimes it's easiest to go with one of the old tropes for an extended campaign: the search...

That is definitely something that was carried over from the Paizo glory days. I often felt that Paizo did a much better job with art (with a lower budget too!) on Dungeon and Dragon than WotC did on its hardcover books (and Paizo NEVER used the execrable many-surnamed Dennis...

I would change the title of this thread to "...Dungeon AND Dragon content" but otherwise agree. We barely see, what?, two adventures a month in Dungeon? Maybe I need to go back and double-check but I think it's been a few months since we've actually seen more than one decent-sized adventure in...

I think the WotC boards are the last place to post suggestions relating to the Monster Builder. I haven't seen a substantive reply from a WotC employee on those boards for over a year now.

My top three, so far, are The Plane Below, Demonomicon and Underdark. I've been finding little gems in these every time I re-read them. Good stuff. My bottom three are Revenge of the Giants (we really don't need a giant race based in the Astral Sea that look like they were crossbred with...

I really like Swords & Wizardry available from Mythmere Games. It's a clone of OD&D (the Diaglo version) but tidied up. It has also been picked up by Frog god Games for professional publication. One of the things I like best about it is that Matt Finch, the author, has also made available .RTF...

I always wanted to run a Midnight campaign which ended in a manner shamefully stolen from Moorcock's Elric: the party ultimately find the horn of change or similar artefact and the sounding of same is the death knell for Izrador but also for the world. I had then planned to start a new...

Glad you guys like it. (Frankly, I think the 4E version of Forgotten Realms really has potential as a campaign setting so I'm just pleased to see a positive thread here.) You could have them meet: - when they are thrown into a fighting pit in the vicious pub because they look too clean to...

Maps. The most important part of a campaign setting for me is the main map. Sure, the fluff is important but without a good map the campaign world just doesn't take shape for me (which is one of the reasons I won't go with PoL-land). I'm in a small minority of liking the 4E version of the...

I would start them on the Pirate Isle in the middle of the Sea of Fallen Stars. That way, you're in the centre of a dozen or so countries so it's a lot easier for coming up with a logical reason for why the PC might be starting there. Anyway, start with something simple. They're checking out...

It's a bit more recent than most of what is posted here but I have the full set of all Midnight d20 products, including the boxed set. One of the books is the only RPG book with my name in it (a special thanks for early editing and feedback but as close to a RPG publishing credit that I will...

Congratulations, Greg. I'll be keeping an eye out for this in Oz. Those three settings were some of the highlights of the d20/OGL era with Midnight being one of the best RPG products of all time, IMO. Good luck to you.

Congratulations!

I'm from Brisbane, Australia. For most of the last eleven years I lived in Singapore and commuted, as it were, to Brisbane to run my games. I've been back in Brisbane for a year or so on business but am in the process of considering moving back to Asia so assume I will get my gaming in on my...

I'm completely edition agnostic. I run 4E but most of my ideas come from BECMI, 1E and 2E adventures. When I've exhausted those ideas I am sure I will be mining my extensive Pathfinder collection for more ideas. It seems I am not alone in thinking that 4E adventures suck (although I have...

Yes, I generally hide it. My businesses are too important for me to have someone form a wrong opinion based on one of my hobbies (which they will if they know it's D&D).

Players suck. I feel better now. OK, that statement is slightly tongue-in-cheek but my experience is much the same as Kzach's (except I haven't moved house 42 times): I do find players to be horribly lazy. Like Kzach I now create the illusion of choice. For all intents and purposes they're in...
