    Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden -- A Comprehensive Review

    I dont see that in the adventure. The players can leave. The adventure even says the prison has boats from the south that resupply it. Speaking of the prison the whole thing is operating orderly and fine. Where is the chaos you would expect in a horror model? Prisoners driven to cannibalism by...

    Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden -- A Comprehensive Review

    I didn't get a horror vibe from this adventure. The only way it resembled "The Thing" is it that there is snow. The issolation and paranoia are not realy there for the PC. They are not trapped anywhere they can literally leave at any time. I just don't get the comparison. Its a adventure...

    D&D 5E (2014) [Kobold Press] Scarlet Citadel Kickstarter

    I love the idea of dungeon crawls but I have found that in play they often turn into a slog unless thier is some sort of time limit or complication that forces the party to explore fast and not just do one room, rest, next room, rest, etc. Anybody know if thier is a plot to push exploration or...

    D&D 5E (2014) A First Look at Tasha’s Lineage System In AL Player’s Guide - Customizing Your Origin In D&D

    Yeah and 1e and 2e. The issue is if you carry a light source everyone outside the light source can attack you with advantage because you cant see them but you are bathed in light. The human fighter navigating the dark with a torch will get pin cushioned by the goblins because they can see him...

    D&D 5E (2014) A First Look at Tasha’s Lineage System In AL Player’s Guide - Customizing Your Origin In D&D

    The real problem is not stat bumps, but dark vision. No one in my campaign will play a charachter without it. (I rarely play but when i do i alwas grab dark vision) Get rid of dark vision and I would have an all human party. Next campaign I am homebrewing out dark vision.

    GMing: What Keeps Long Running Campaigns Exciting?

    How many sessions do you need to be consider "long running" ? 50? 100? In the last ten years I've ran four campaign of over 50+ session. All homebrew campaigns. Its a lot of work to build that much content. I have to steal a lot from myself. Luckily i moved so two campaigns were with one...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Gaming Gang Pages Through Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden

    Yeah i feel the marketing and buzz words they throw in before the release of the adventures dont always jive with the finale release. Sure D into A had some strange vehicals but it wasnt realy that much of Mad Max Fury Road (other than both were railroads) and LMoP wasnt B10 Nights Dark Terror...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM Screen 'Wilderness Kit'

    The curent rules in 5e doesn't make it particularly hard to find food in the wilderness, so I cant imagine a huge need for ration tracking cards. Maybe if they revamp the travel rules and up the cruch it make sense.

    Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide Review

    I am hoping the beginners box coming out in November is the Simple Edition. I loved the 1e beginners box even though in general Pathfinder is not my cup of tea.
