Well, here is my initial write-up, as promised. I did break the groups into four discrete entities, because I can work with each one separately, and even allow them to be turned against each other or played off each other, if the PCs decide to go that route. I hope someone else can use this...

I like it, but it isn’t quite D&D. It hangs on the D&D chassis, though I think it could use most any leveling system. Is Level another resource they can use? What would it apply to?

Yes, four gangs could work. But the logistics get a bit more complex...

I’m experiencing a bit of creative block. In a more-or-less ancient egyptian-flavored world, I am creating two criminal gangs. One is a smuggling/drug running group, mostly run by the were-crocs and catfolk, though other races could easily be members. The other is a protection racket with a side...

Reasonably close, I think. He has a pretty good memory, and had access to the rules most weekends. But. He did invent some house rules, and now we ca’t remember what some of them were... Its amazing how mud this game has meant, my whole life. I met my husband playing it, and played with my dad...

I was 11 when my older brother came home from boy scouts raving about this great game. He wrote down the rules from memory and we started playing. I remember a few weeks later when my mom drove us 30 minutes to a game shop where we bought the brand-new boxed basic set. And geomorphs! With random...

I would run Theros on roll20 if there was a compendium for it, and a few adventures.

Specifically referencing the OP’s outlined adventure, I don’t think I would call it a railroad, and since there are choices that allow a group to avoid parts and they should KNOW that, it isnt even completely linear. The railroad would come in during the actual game sessions. Can the PCs leave...

I mentioned in my first answer that we switch to “new areas and new characters” every few years. But we play in the same campaign world, and often go back to the same general places, a few years later. Right now I’m working on moving forward 5 years in my favorite kingdom, where a new ruler has...

We play 3 hour sessions about 3 times a month (theoretically every week, but...) in normal circs. I've played with essentially the same group for the last 25+ years. We usually play a given "campaign" for about 2 years. We then change characters and regions of the world, and start over. Seems to...

One thing I noticed is some vagueness in your description. For example, is the head a real head? Is it nailed to the door? Or is it a wooden carving hung on the door? Or carved stone part of the door? This can be critical to how the DM describes the room. Also, every room needs to be done in the...

I passionately HATE modules that start ith a detailed breakdown of 400 years of history, including a current war. Or a dense political treatise. Or a presumption of a weird magitech level, like regular use of airships. Give me a ruin on a hill, a generic “ empire that failed” and a list of...

Maybe pick out 2-3 good low-level adventures and use them to write the backstory of your village. Tie each adventure in so it makes sense that several NPCs would know pieces of the stories, and can relate them in logical ways; ie if there is a ruined, haunted castle up on the hill, who knows the...

In my campaign world, there are no female dwarves anymore. What happened is a campaign mystery. New dwarves are carved from stone by their parent and blessed alive by the priests in major rituals. So they are all male, all bearded, and a great quest for the whole race is to discover how to...

I have maybe 50. Lost my old dice in a move a few years back and had to start over. But a friend just bought a set of resin molds and is coming over in a couple weeks to try them out with me! I have resin, inks, mica powders, etc....

My place of work will (most likely) be reopening to the public in limited fashion in mid-June. If by the end of June we have not seen an increase in cases in this area, we will probably get together again in person. Probably. If there's an uptick of cases, we'll re-evaluate. My mother is 83, my...

When I play, I mostly play same/female. I used to play as much as 50/50 in the past, but the older I get, the more I play only a few types.

The magic items my players remember and refer back to the most often are their magic caravan wagon, the platter and mug of endless rations, and a scroll that when unrolled and pinned to a wall formed the entrance into a lovely bunkhouse room/portable hole. They keep asking in the current...

About 95% dm. But last night I played for the first time in years.

Should anyone be interested in reading what I've got going so far, here's a link to my wiki: Vishteer Campaign / Flat World I very much doubt I will ever actually "run" a campaign in this world. Should anyone feel like borrowing it, please feel free.
