Milestones! I'm in love with the system, because it saves a lot of energy on the DM's part. Moreover, no more "too early", "too slow" or "untimely" advancement; you only advance at the right time, usually after a climatic moment.

In AD&D 2e, as a M-U I always started with Staff, then took Dagger at 5th level. Staff was more in line with the wizard stereotype. Plus, magic staves were more interesting then magic daggers. On the contrary, I don't even remember my magic users to throw darts. That was the weapon of some...

TPK by Kobolds in the very first combat we tried in 5e (HotDQ)

Least < BECMI - 5e - 2e - 3e - 4e > Most Actually, I skipped 4e but when I tried to play it, I was unable to figure out how. 3e and Pathfinder become too complex and virtually unplayable after LVL 13.

We were trounced in the very beginning, fleeing in the Underdark. No oone had darkvision.

I've purchased: PHB, DMG, MM Screen Reincarnated, Sword Coast, Starter Set Volo's, Mordenkainen's (Special Cover) Ravnica, Eberron (Special Cover) CoS, ToA, DiA, W: DH, W: DotMM, TotYP, GoS (Special Cover) Moreover, given retrocompatibility, I've started a collection of COUNTLESS old products...

You are a genious.

COSMOLOGY - Yes you can travel from FR to Greyhawk. With Spelljammer: FR, Greyhawk etc. are in different Crystal spheres in the same Prime Material Plane. There are infinite wolds in the infinite Prime Material Plane. But there are also infinite Alternate Material Planes that you can visit via...

This thread is old... Anyway, the answer lies in the Spelljammer campaigns box. Toril, Oerth, Krynn, lie each in a separate Crystal Sphere in the same Prime Material Plane. A cleric can receive spells from his god, only if the god has a presente in that Crystal Sphere. Otherwise you were...

We started with the Mentzer Red Box, and that means MYSTARA. Very important setting for us. Then we changed to AD&D 2e, starting with DRAGONLANCE (we read and loved the novels), then a bit of GREYHAWK. We didn't play the Realms! The settings we explored and enjoyed the most are RAVENLOFT...

Honorable mention: 13th Age Bestiary, because unbridled creatività in monster design 5) Dragonlance Saga Bestiary Because of art and first-person narration 4) MM 3e Because of rationalization of the previous mess 3) MC Binder (AD&D 2e) including Dark Sun and Ravenloft Appendices Because of...

I'll give advice for DiA, too. - We were a good, heroic party. No need to do evil things. We enjoyed the story very much. I think you could play the adventure as an evil party and attain radically different results (the adventure is open-ended). - We trimmed down dungeons and combat in the...

IMO the best 5e adventures are Descent into Avernus, Tomb of Anniholation and Curse of Strahd. DiA has some good dungeons in the first part, but really becomes great in the middle part, the Avernus sandbox. Very Planescapey. Epic in scale. If you already experienced ToA, try this for something...

Dark Sun!! 2nd place, Mystara. 3rd place, any new and well done setting.

At First I was disappointed but... In the end, at WotC they want new players, so they use Ravnica, Stranger Things, Rick&Morty, and now Critical Role, as a doorway to have even more new players. Good for the game. 5e is already the nostalgia edition that makes old grognards like me very happy...

If the hardback is a collection of short adventures set in a sandbox Sword Coast, it could be very interesting.

Why D&D 3e/3.5/Pathfinder worked? d20 system resolved many inconsistencies and absurdities. Both BECMI and AD&D 2e were full of loopholes, the game was baroque, arbitrary, unbalanced. Managed to keep the feel of the original game, as well as the settings (at least the most popular ones). The...

Demiplanes are "spaces" within the Ethereal Plane, that can be very very different. They can be large as a room or as an entire world. A wizard that creates a Demiplane can impose a number of rules: for example no gravity, time passes x10, no need of air, exit only with conditions, magic null...
