B/X breaks the sequence down. A turn last 10 minutes. Torches last an hour. Different actions take a turn (such as move your movement rate, mapping the room, searching for secret doors). Every 2 turns (more or less depending on dungeon) make an wandering encounter check

Maybe the mainstream has dropped them (not helped by the woeful lack of dungeon crawl proceduresbut they are alive and well, lots of modern examples from the small (like hole in the oak, to the large (barrow maze, stonehell etc). Every room should have a purpose: This includes empty rooms, as...

Oh yeah, I use plenty of tables. But I also like to use those as starting points. Let’s see, for this hex, I’ve rolled a ruined village, an abandoned mine and a pack of ghouls. What happened here? Let’s build something cool. So it always takes a bit longer.

Yeah, it’s different strokes and all that. I do an initial burst of prep of the starting locations, but couldn’t imagine fully prepping everything else ahead of time!

The key to the just in time approach is to ensure you at least have an idea of what is in the hexes that surround the player’s current hexes. Then, at the end of the session (or a suitable time before the next session), the players themselves have to decide on their goals for the next session...

A lot of adventure pitched here are 1e and basic (for good reason) , but a decent low level, 2e native adventure for a 1-3 one shot is The Shattered Circle.

This is, to be honest, to me, really disappointing to read this. Especially after we’ve had that pleasant exchange of ideas and view points earlier this morning in the other thread. As was stated on the prior page of this thread (multiple times, by many different people) it’s not about the...

I’ve read your updated response. Yeah, absolutely I can see your point with your problems with ABP. So I’d ask (for the benefit of others who might feel the same way?) could you think of a simple hack to make either option (official or variant ) work for your group or would that involve too...

We were doing so well :(. There’s no hook here. They offer a variant that seems to address your concerns (it might not, you might still have further issues with it but you’ve not explained that). Why would they support a variant that’s not part of the default assumption when they’ve given you...

Yeah I get what you’re saying here. I remember that sort of discussion taking place during the play test. Does using the non bonus variant in the GMG do enough to alleviate your concerns around that (if you play or were to play)? As to my mind, that seems Paizo is wanting to have their cake and...

But (and again without snark from my part) is that a bad thing necessarily? Isn’t that part of the power fantasy they are aiming for where you are moving onto bigger, more bad ass things to take down? Could this critique not be applied to pf1? I know for example, in some PF1 APs, they had a...

Indeed. Paizo wanted to keep that “heroic progress“ feeling, but wanted to cut back on d20+40 being rolled. I think it’s a smart move they took doing that to further differentiate. I remember during 5e play testing, a large number of people were unhappy that orcs and goblins could still pose a...

I get what you meant. Paizo sought to rein in mods compared to PF1, even if it’s not Bounded AccuracyTM. What about Rein In Mods. PF2 RIMs Better than PF1?

The answer to your questions can be found in page 6 when someone else asked the exact same questions.

I mean, I’d very happily be proven wrong. As I stated up thread, as long it grants access to DMsguild, I’ll take a wotc Greyhawk in any form.

You know, this is very true. But I somewhat suspect its more down to the fact that Greenwood gives tacit approval as he negotiated a very favourable contract that still stands. Feel free to correct me, but I believe he gets to publish a book every now and then and it has to be considered canon...

I don’t think they’d have the guts to execute it. I think they are just going to quietly smother it like the princes in the tower and pretend it never existed :(. I’d be happy if I was wrong. Gah, if only someone else had their name attached to the setting as solidly as Gygax did (and not to...

Yes, it’s just getting them to it. And it’s the cyclical argument that frustrates. a) we arent going to publish greyhawk because there’s no demand for it. b) Because there are no greyhawk products, I have nothing to buy to show demand for it as I already have the old materials. This continues...

i want this. So bad...

Yes, I get what you’re saying. I have my own view on how I feel wotc has taken care of the wider d&d brand and settings, but in the interest of civility, I shall keep that to myself. I think at this stage, I’d be willing to accept any Greyhawk product release, regardless of quality (though only...
