Related thread from a while back - D&D General - Reading Ravenloft the setting which you may find interesting or a useful supplement to this one (it was pre-VRGtR though) Going through the setting domain by domain, using the 3rd ed Arthaus Gazetteers as our guide (because as @Remathilis...

I can't speak for the tourney scene one way or another, but PP have had a load more problems than purely pandemic-related in recent years. First and foremost, of course, was GW undergoing a major management change and starting doing things like 'communicating with customers' and 'not making...

Settlers of Faerun, coming to a game store near you?

I'll give you a more conclusive answer once we've reached higher level! The big difference is that you find yourself playing Healing Word jack-in-the-box a bit less at 2nd/3rd level. You're a bit safer from getting knocked straight to 0hp by one good critical hit . The by-the-book game is...

I play in one game where it's max at first level, then roll afterwards with no do-overs. I play in one game where it's max for the first five levels, then roll afterwards with no do-overs. I run a game where it's max for first three levels, then roll afterwards, re-rolling on a one but second...

In my opinion it's a bit of a step backwards from previous products in terms of art quality, to be honest. I do love the lich(?) thingy on the throne though. But if the white-haired woman is meant to be Alustriel, they've missed her character completely. Alustriel is meant to be the calm...

I ran this a while ago as a test one-shot for a group I was assembling for a new campaign. Ended up with a tpk at the cave (well, technically one pc survived by fleeing ignominiously) after a player decided to try to solve the problem in one stroke by surprise attacking the antagonistic dire...

Already more pledged than the Humblewood adventure book. Tracking about $200k ahead of where the Humblewood campaign setting was at the equivalent time too, although that campaign got a big surge of publicity and support in the last week or so, so might not be directly comparable.

I (Australian) travelled to the northern USA this year and one of my missions was to try as many of the quaint local foodstuffs of the region as possible. Malort was, alas, one I missed out on, along with collard greens and the Juicy Lucy.

Only played BG1. First time round i played a wizard, the group was Imoen, Ajantis, Khalid, Viconia, and Xan (Jaheira died early, and Minsc left when i didn't have room in the party for Dynaheir once i rescued her). Having Viconia and a paladin in the same group was ... challenging, but there...

The Cha class is going to be Personality, with subclass options that emphasise different aspects of Charisma-ing (military leadership, cha-fueled magic, inspiration, interpersonal manipulation, firebrand preaching, etc etc). Probably a 2-dimensional matrix to allow for customisation, like the...

I ran a bad PC in a recent game. PC was an alchemist artificer, in a Tomb of Annihilation campaign. Stats were rolled, and I didn't roll particularly well. I was a support class (and a mostly out-of-combat support class at that!) in a game where the DM was largely shuffling us from random...

Yeah, I've been waiting for something like this for aaaages. (Pleasepleaseplease don't use AI art and force me to boycott you...)

If this is what Chris Cocks was talking about when he said 'the D&D brand is undermonetised' then my worry about the implications of that statement is slowly but inexorably being replaced by contempt. Whacking the D& logo on every irrelevant tchotchke imaginable ain't gonna reverse Hasbro's...

Oh god yes, give me the special edition dvd with director’s commentary pleeeease.

I heartily approve of this topic, for what it's worth. The four classical elements are WAY overdone in D&D. Not just the elementals and the elemental planes, but they're splattered all over genies, and giants, and even the very concept of chaos now. It'd be great to see something different, a...

I've messed with this idea a lot actually, in a long-term project of mine which is a re-jigging of Ravenloft into Regency/Napoleonic era England (happy to drop my WiP rules in here, if you're interested). It's a worthy idea, but it does run pretty hard into some of the base assumptions of 5e...

Experimental Elixir to get +1 AC, plus Enhanced Defence infused armour and Repulsion Shield infused shield is the normal recipe as i understand it, for +3 in total over standard at level 6. And of course the SERIOUS optimisers will do all sorts of silly stuff with multiclassing into Forge...

Is this available anywhere for non-backers yet? I looked around but all i could find was the three-level sample on the kickstarter page.
