I dunno what chick trats is.

This would probably make them more mad to be honest... they'd think "You didn't even give me a chance to think of what to do!" and feel they need to start over because their initiative order changed (which does matter a lot). I actually do love the "timer" as I set it for one minute, and just...

I only drop the timer when someone didn't prepare. Meaning, player could have spent the time while everyone else was going to plan their move... but didn't and instead when they're turn arrives starts going "Hmmmm... what should I do?" and spends way more time as they go through all the...

Seems like they have to, unless the player made their character celibate or something. That's why people cry at the table, because they're ejected from the game.

Is this the City of Brass module? https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/284482/To-the-City-of-Brass He was also planning on re-releasing it last year, but that didn't happen. Still sitting in limbo...

Yeah I think it's a cool concept in a lot of ways, it's just forcing people into it that really sucks. You really want to play the same family forever? What if I started as a kid (and his daughter did) who loved elves, and by the time I'm an adult I really want to play someone who isn't an elf...

This is also... really weird. You essentially are forced to play your dead character's descendants, and if you don't you can't play. If you don't have descendants, you have to play another player's descendants if you want to keep playing. I'm not someone who like to "bad wrong fun" anything...

I'll add, although this game is marketed as one continuous campaign... I don't think it truly is, at least in the way you'd first assume. Although much of the world is set in "alternate history Earth," apparently he replaced South America with Hyborea from Conan, and Middle-Earth is can be...

I don't doubt you, but it's surprising to read... I remember DMing my first game, that lasted a few months before falling apart (for multiple reasons, but one was it was my first read D&D game so I was making mistakes and still learning). I remember playing in another person's game later, as I...

This DM's style definitely doesn't look like one I'd enjoy, but that's ok... I assume his players do enjoy it, otherwise how has he been running his game for 40 years? That said, it's kind of strange how many players he has. It sounds like the game also isn't on a regular schedule. A little...

I think you're going to have to have to describe the "reasons" because I don't see why not? I've done it, even in non-dungeons. Especially since encounters aren't just fighting, they include things like traps that sap resource like HP or spells for example. I mean, easy encounters are a...

I will say, most megadungeons just can't make any logical sense. Smaller dungeons absolutely can, but something like Castle Greyhawk or Undermountain... it's built by crazy wizards, doesn't have to be logical and I think it'd be counter to the theme to even try. Yeah, a balanced party...

This isn't really my style... I absolutely run fewer bigger fights. But those fights have to punch way harder than the DMG's recommended CRs, as the PCs will have most of their tools. This did not apply of course in my dungeon (Doomvault) game. That was lots of small fights, which... most...

Sounds like they announced a 5E Lankhmar product.

I don't know what methodology (if any) Wikipedia is using, but this is their take on D&D settings, up to 2020;

I wouldn't even try the latter. If you look at the third-party settings thread (it may be in the wiki), it's insanely huge. It would drive you insane to put them all in a chart, and loads of folks will attack you for skipping their favorite third-party. Then number of kickstarters and other...

To be honest, I'd almost mark it as "Is it marketed/printed as d20, or D&D?" Because I think if it's the former, we should just consider it d20. It's just a simpler metric to use, IMO.
