Always glad to see the Bohemian earspoon getting some attention! I was glad to have this information di-voulged. /eyebrows

I would play the hell out of this, but only if it is scored by Kenichi Matsubara. ...Who am I kidding? All of my Ravenloft games are scored by Kenichi Matsubara. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVRJktHHiTM

Glad to hear about more sandbox material. Have been rooting for that since Tyranny.

I was just having a conversation with a new D&D5 DM the other night, and I was unable to resolve his very similar concerns regarding the DMG EXP calculations despite my vaunted "17 months of experience." His PCs just hit 3rd level, while mine just hit 7th. Over the course of our conversation I...

I still don't see anything in this release that says we'll be seeing any actual Ravenloft setting material. We've seen Castle Ravenloft published on five separate occasions, and only /one/ of those has any link to the Ravenloft setting, let alone the logo on the cover. In the run-up to D&D5...

Okay, first of all, humor. BUT SINCE YOU POKED THE (FIVE-HEADED) DRAGON, do you really want to have a Realmslore discussion about Tiamat? This is the setting that depicted her as three-headed for years, killed her at least twice and then suggested in an official product that she wasn't really...

It's good to have this confirmed, although after Tyranny of Takhisis and No, the Other Temple of Elemental Evil it shouldn't come as much surprise. Wizards hasn't been shy lately about appropriating non-FR IP to promote FR, and Strahd is one of their big names to drop. Doing vampires without...

This system fights the license. It also fights the IP theft, but not as much. Dungeonesque. (Dungeonesque!) With Mentzer on its side, It has Mentzer on its side. Dungeonesque. (Dungeonesque!) It's got rules for Chinese stars, And it keeps them in the equipment table, above "length of...

Welcome to ENWorld, both of you, and thank you for the responses. After a full 17 months of running my weekly campaign (in the interest of dispelling confusion, my last post to the thread was in January 2015), I have stopped seeing the negative issues related to the DMG EXP calculations that I...

Dragons of Menace Session Report 5 – 2015 Aug-Oct Dragons of Menace Session Report 5 – 2015 Aug-Oct Palast, the 21st of Deepkolt, 352 AC The trip up the Knights’ High Road to the High Clerist’s Tower was almost too quiet. The Plains of Solamnia were seemingly deserted, in anticipation of the...

Dragons of Menace Session Report 4 – 2015 Jun-Aug Dragons of Menace Session Report 4 – 2015 Jun-Aug Bracha, the 12th of Deepkolt, 352 AC The party left Rayne’s Drop on the morning of Majetag, the 8th of Deepkolt, and found their return journey much longer without the aid of the Tower of...

Chris, I'm a little fuzzy on the math, as if there's a 2nd edition of Requiem and a 2nd edition of Masquerade, this is (at least) the fifth iteration of the ruleset, is it not? Can you share your sources on the new edition? The Onyx Path press release doesn't mention it. Is it clear from...

I am aware. I think we're saying mostly the same thing with different words. I agree that a Castle Ravenloft adventure path seems likely, and that it will be set in the Shadowfell. I am sorry if I was unclear on that point. But the assertion that the Ravenloft campaign setting is no more...

I think MechaPilot hit the nail right on the head. Humanocentrism is not nearly as important as irrational fear and hatred of the other. You are assuming Strahd and Barovia are not divisible from the Ravenloft setting and this is unfortunately not true. Expedition to Castle Ravenloft makes...

I use GUMSHOE the same way I use FATE: as a toolkit that is best layered over a more robust core mechanic, like Pathfinder or WH40KRP (or D&D5). I'd never design for just GUMSHOE because it doesn't feel like a game to me. That's a preference, mind you, not a criticism. I think both GUMSHOE...

I see a gothic-horror-themed Sword Coast adventure path culminating in a trip through the Mists to a Faerunian Domain of Dread in the Shadowfell. That's not criticism, it's just sober analysis. I believe that Wizards will eventually utilize other settings from the stable, but when they do I...

Just want to add my voice to the many applauding Aaron at Noble Knight. Been a happy customer since he ran his retail business off an e-mail mailing list in the late 1990s. He once held a copy of Planes of Conflict until payday so a certain penniless college student dungeon master could...

And then, sometimes, you post a game-design-specific resume on Monster.com and get hired into pharmaceutical regulatory writing despite your resume being almost inappropriately specific. I was /mortified/ when I inadvertently caught sight of my resume in my employee file at work a few years...

For the first time in my life I'm running multiple games and none of them are homebrew. Dragonlance and Planescape. Happy to bring a little more variety to the poll numbers.

Your version of the digital D&D5 tools may not exclude the possibility of a PDF version being made available, but I regret that your version likely does exclude the possibility of digital D&D tools that are not married to an expensive VTT. It's not that I want to play a Playstation game...
