As the end of the year approaches and as I look forward to a relaxing 2 week vacation where I end up puttering about my computer working on RPG campaigns et al, I often use the resources of various Patreons to help my games. That got me to thinking: am I missing out on some highly valuable...

Depends on how you see your medadungeon I suppose. Yes, there is the Old Skool Tegel Manor approach, or the "dig deeper" excavation of Undermountain or Castle Greyhawk. I won't be doing those. I prefer Greg Vaughan's "Scarwall Castle" approach (still the best fantasy castle map ever, imo). So...

Destina's arc principally takes place after the War of the Lance. I repeat: my comment was balls-on accurate.

Read Dragons of Deceit when it comes to who can and can't be a Knight of Solamnia, according to Weis and Hickman. My comment was balls-on accurate.

It's Phillip Ulrich who did the cover for Dragons of Deceit. I am not sure if he also did this one above, but it is clearly a pastiche blend of Elmore/Parkinson's style. Sturm's armor texture screams Parkinson. I think it's more than fine. As for Raistlin's appearance, I think this is one of...

This came up in another discussion. The use of the Classic Dragonlance mark was a result of WorC's settlement with Weis and Hickman's lawsuit. Effectively, it denotes not so much the continuity of plot, but that the World of Krynn Weis and Hickman are writing about is the original 1st Ed...

Time travel is the premise of this latest series, where the initial central character, Destina, is looking to make a slight change in the past for selfish reasons. It snowballs from there.

Only one of the nine of us is on a laptop. Everyone else is on a desktop, multi-monitor setup. We are middle-aged men in our 40s/50s -- not students. As the GM/DM, I go with 3 monitors: Adventure/Game rules (PDF or DDB) on left, FVTT on centre, Zoom/Skype on right. For players, it's FVTT on one...

Raistlin, Destina and ... Sturm? They are hoping Raistlin and Sturm will sell a few copies, I'm sure.

3 x 27" @ 1080p each -- and another 55" @ 4K if needed. We won't play with disembodied voices. I often feel that the reason many ppl here decry the lack of socialization during play via VTT as off-putting is because they are not using mult-monitors with a hard cable. The hard cable isn't for...

Yeah, there's no way I will attempt to do this via notebook though. I map electronically and will make notes electronically. If I had to make handwritten notes, it would not take too long before enough weeks/months passed that I would no longer be able to read my own hand writing! Electronic is...

I believe Dynamite collected all (or nearly all) of their Pathfinder Comics into 6 issue hardcover compilations. I can't imagine that would happen for Pathfinder and yet not for D&D.

I put the link to the SotDQ discord in my post above. I suggest you join up and we will try to co-ordinate matters there. There is also an artwork sharing channel to maps and tokens otherwise of interest to SotDQ -- so it's an entirely worthwhile discord to join. I joined the (much busier) Rise...

I like LOTS of Lore, stupid levels of detail if I can get it. While I have home-brewed a lot in this during the 80s and 90s. In the past, I've run : Judge's Guild City State and Wilderness of High Fantasy; great maps, too little detail; ICE's Middle Earth: even better maps, detail was pretty...

This is a really cool idea. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! Let me think about this. Maybe I'm in? I don't know how old we have to be before each of us at least entertains the idea of a "New Year's Resolution". At least an adult, right? Maybe early-to-mid 20s? God knows that after...

I think it was mostly aimed at retailers, too. Paizo's sale of PDFs and direct subscriber PDF benefits is a stone in the shoe of many store owners. The vast majority sell Paizo products anyway, but many grumble about it. If WotC's only relationship with FLGS owners was their selling D&D books...

With modern routers and an adequate ISP, you don't even have to change a setting on your router. The Foundry software handles it all in the background, automagically. The extra-setup step takes, literally, 0 seconds as a modern router does this automatically without user intervention. What...

I'm guessing that it you wanted to make it a priority, you could either: a) move the router; or b) run a cat 6 cable through the wall and down to where it needed to be to come out and plug into your router. You know, like a grown-up homeowner, and not a college student :) In all seriousness...

There is a whole lot to dislike about the stock simplicity of 5e. I know that appeals to some gamers here but I am not one of them. At least with later books, some actual choices are introduced to the game in terms of PC development. HOWEVER, the underlying math in 5e is the one thing they got...

You are not wrong about this. In either this or another thread, I mentioned that in most cases, the addition of 3d removes what is a broadly accessible tool in the hands of the Many, and at a stroke, because of the additional technical barriers to entry in working with 3d, moves it into the...
