I haven't had much time to write reviews for the more recent products (I've been doing a lot of job hunting lately), but when I do get around to writing a review for Dragon Heist it'll be titled "Not What You Think It Is." I addressed this in a different thread, but when you read the title...

I appreciate the question the OP is asking, but I don't think the answers we can choose from are very good. For example, to some degree, I agree with 3, 4 & 5. I should be able to set limits based on things like the campaign setting; I should be able to limit who at the table can play an evil...

If that's the case, I don't really care for that either. The bottle it comes in is just one of the aesthetic changes I make to differentiate potions by creator. For instance, the dwarves in my setting hold alcohol in high regard, taking the old Latin saying "in vino vertias" to heart with the...

Thanks for posting that. As an aside, I don't care for the guide's notion that ". . . magic items of all kinds have specific appearances that do not change. A potion of healing or a vorpal sword always looks the same regardless of who made it." I think I understand why they did it (simplicity...

Perhaps. In all fairness, maybe I'm being a little too harsh on FR. Most of the setting just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but there are parts of it that I think are maybe okay (but certainly don't enthuse me).

The "half-" races aren't necessary because virtually no individual thing is necessary. Want to get rid of them? Cool. Want to keep them? Cool. Want to add more of them? Cool. On the subject of "half-" races, the thought once occurred to me that since most "half-" races are half-human and...

I find the use of "exciting region" as a descriptor of parts of FR to be quite hyperbolic. But, to each their own.

Granted, to both of you. I have a couple of homebrew setting documents that use page references. They're nothing that's been published, and I don't have any pages of both art and text in either work (just full page maps, with easy to manage page breaks). So, I know that making sure page...

My bet would be because it takes less work, thus requiring less labor hours, thus requiring less wages to be paid, thus increasing the gross profit percentage for each unit sold. Which, in turn, lowers the break-even point and reduces overall risk. Or, ya know, because they just didn't want...

I'd like to see it play out in a setting other than FR. I have some preferences, but putting the game's story in almost any non-FR D&D setting would be preferable to FR.

I figured I'd leave it unexplained unless someone asked. Kinda feels like I'm plugging my homebrew stuff if I just drop in it without people asking how it works. The ability is pasted below: Telescopic Vision. Elf eyes contain several lenses that can overlap to create telescopic vision...

The dark elves in my homebrew setting can see in darkness and magical darkness as if it were bright light (in B&W, just like darkvision). It makes them very good at sneaking (because they don't need light sources at all), and it makes them good at noticing potential enemies, but I haven't found...

I never really thought it made much sense for elves to have darkvision (or infravision), so when I designed my the elves for my homebrew setting I gave them telescopic vision instead. For a race that favors archery, that makes more sense to me.

Oh yeah, Dragon Heist, that adventure where you organize and execute a heist to steal a sleeping dragon's hoard. What? What do you mean that's not what the adventure's about? Ooh. The coins are called dragons, and you're not so much trying to steal them as you are trying to prevent others...

I greatly like the magic item cards idea, and I'll probably pick those up if only so I can scan and print copies to give to my players when they identify a found magic item. The monster cards seem like a good idea, but only for really simple monsters. The stat blocks in the MM are already...

I just increase the number of monsters proportionally to the party increase. A typical party is 4 PCs. So, if I had a group of 8 PCs I'd double the number of each monster encountered. Likewise, if I had a group of 6 PCs I'd add 50% more monsters instead of doubling them. This makes sense for...

Did I say it wasn't impressive? Also, @bedir than, it's odd that you give @Parmandur XP for stating that each edition is a separate product line, while giving me a hard time about making that exact same statement. Is your real issue with my post that you don't think I'm impressed enough by...
