This sounds awesome!

For me: A 50th Anniversary “Return to”- style of adventure, featuring a 5e update of Caverns of Tsojcanth and Temple of Tharizdun, with surrounding adventures linking to a Tharizdun-based overarching threat. Probably with a redemption arc for Drelzna as an NPC.

In no real order: Greyhawk, simply because it was the first and carries so many wonderful and evocative memories. I truly hope the 50th Anniversary returns there in some format. Warhammer Old World, because it’s dark, gritty and awesome, and because in about 40 minutes I’ll be logging on to...

I don’t know whether you’re after adventures as well as crunch and settings, but there were some great ones IMO, including but not limited to; Rappan Athuk Crucible of Freya Tomb of Abysthor Red Hand of Doom 3e version of Caverns of Thracia

1E but not really anything to do with rules, just with placement in my life. 1E was concurrent with school, when life was about rugby, girlfriends, punk rock and D&D, when Dragon magazines were printed, when Judges Guild stuff exploded into games, when we played all night sessions, when I had...

I played in a FR game once where the DM had Drizzt show up frequently to “rescue” us. Absolutely hated the game and it put me off FR to a significant extent.

I don’t mind the BBEG being known to low level PCs by both name and reputation, but I try to avoid any direct contact until they’re close enough to tackle directly. Similarly, with magic items I tend to go with heirloom weapons that grow stronger as the campaign grows: in my current Scarlet...

A dashing young cavalry officer just returned from an overseas war could figure as an NPC. Equally, a group of ragged, ex-soldiers all returned from the aforementioned war and thrown into destitution and banditry; an adversary group that raises moral questions.

Looks cool, but feels a bit weird that it takes the name of an area of South London where I spent some of my teenage years!

I’ll second Chronicles of Narnia, and I’ll add David Gemmell’s Drenai saga.

I will be quietly Jennelling any dungeons I design, in silent tribute to the inspiration I gained from reading Jennell Jacquays’ work in the late 1970s/early 80s.

Not sure who Mr Alexander is, outside the thread about his scathing review of Shattered Obelisk. I do know who Jennell Jacquays is of course, and just how awesome her contribution to the hobby is. From the incredible Dungeoneer magazine, through Dark Tower, Caverns of Thracia and many other...

I haven’t the faintest idea who Justin Alexander is, but I’ve bought Shattered Obelisk ( having run LMoP for my family) and intend to run it for my face-to-face group on their request, once we finish Scarlet Citadel. I enjoyed reading it through, will add some personal touches here and there...

And the other big advantage of Greyhawk over FR is that it links better with the whole 50th Anniversary thing.

Punk is not dead, and nor is Greyhawk! Or maybe I’m just old?

Never used a caller in the groups I gamed with in the late 1970s/early 80s. In terms of conventions, we dreamed of attending Origins or GenCon, but it never happened, though we did go to Dragonmeet in the Horticultural Halls in London, which we thought was brilliant. As an aside from the comment...

Definitely not good alignment, but a campaign featuring the two classic Yatil Mountain adventures, with the Rod of 7 parts, and possibly a redemption arc for Drelzna as an NPC, sounds pretty cool as a 50th Anniversary product. Of course, Iuz could be the villain, but who needs Iuz when you have...

Looks good to me, though I’m a bit surprised that people pay to hunt moorhens.

Setting: Greyhawk to make a triumphant 50th anniversary return. Well known game: Gamma World Obscure and ancient: Bifrost ( be interesting to see who remembers this)

As a tribute to the Rugby World Cup (even though England just lost the semi-final; sob!), here’s a D&D rugby team: 2x Props: Dwarf fighters Hooker: Dwarf rogue 2x Locks: Half-orc barbarians 2x Flankers: human fighters Number 8: Human warlock 2x wings: Elf rogues Scrum half: half elf wizard Fly...
