Oh, I'm not saying that it won't have one of those sidebars - just that AFAIK they are setting it in Greyhawk - they won't need to officially place it in FR, aside from maybe making a suggestion or two in a sentence.

They don't need that. KotB takes place in Greyhawk, which they are continuing to use (as the 2024 DMG did) as their "sample" setting.

I don't know. AFAIK he only shared that he had a pitch in mind. It actually makes sense that if he pitched it successfully, it then would become a secret until officially announced. I'm not trying to say that no news is good news, but... actually, that is what I am saying! (Maybe).

I too think that we will see Dark Sun next year. A couple of years ago, Ajit George (I think it was) threw his hat in the ring with his ideas on how to make it work in a modern market. Even if he isn't one of the contributors, (and he probably will be), I could see how his interest (or his...

The spell is Dragon's Breath. Save for half. I thought you were being a bit cavalier.

I say we all head straight up J. Those in the back should dash, Havok Dodges and stays at J10. If he wants me to wait, and defend, I will pass the strikers to Benny & will stop at J11. I will also Dodge. Sound good?

"We must move to the brazier, suggested Stratus, who was happy to help to light it, "They will follow, and we can get it burning - I expect that its light will burn them like the other one's did! If everyone is keen on that plan, Stratus will take the second set of strikers from Anson, and will...

TEAM INFILTRATE Encounter: Prison Time: ~16:05 on 4 Tarsakh 1483DR Begin Round Four

Team Infiltrate As the battle in the prisons raged, the room suddenly shook, as if the mountain itself were angry. The cultist bearing the poison breath side-stepped Lorent's charge, and sneered, saying, "You've done it now, you fool! The Dracolich is angered by your pitiful presence!" Then he...

Team Lake With both living cultists now in the lake, Darius went to the transporter and had a look at the pattern, trying to discern how to control it. But without stepping inside, an act that he was reluctant to do, he could not guess how to establish control. The cultists splashed about...

Honestly, it's why I think that there's a better option. The anthologies worked well enough, sure, but there's got to be a better way. I suppose there's Dragon Delves, where they have a theme, but have no attempt to connect them at all. Ideally I think that what we describe above for Phandelver...

I know! I've never cared about that picture before, but now I feel I want to know... HOW did she get a tattoo that's on this statue, and WHY does she seem to be surprised about it?

Really? I swear that there is an encounter in the Citadel. At any rate, I think we all agree that none of those books have enough to do with their central location, even if some small attempts were made. Part of that is by choice, I suppose, and partly a feature if you're going to run just one...

I think that's just a poor foreshortening thing - her right elbow is bent directly away from the "camera" (try to reach your butt, you'll see). I don't think that the picture is wrong, it's just that it looks that way from what would be, if it were a real picture, an optical illusion.

Honestly hoping for that! I think, IIRC, one of the Radiant Citadel ones took place at the Citadel. Either that, or the RC bit had its own adventure. Basically the same thing. But yeah, Yawning Portal is far more a feature in Dungeon of the Mad Mage than it is in Yawning Portal - though I think...

I mean, that would have been an excellent place to have thrown in twenty or thirty one-off missions, and a short follow-up sequel adventure. Can you imagine if they just made a whole slew of sites in the area with hooks, both in town and around? I know that several people used the Essentials Kit...

Yes, it did a fine job. My only thing would be - and I'm not in any way meaning to put down anthologies - is that I think that a better way to do it, would be to expand a single adventure (of any size) to fill a whole book, with subplots and sequels, rather than the (I think clever, but...

I think that they did, perhaps, too many long-form adventures in 2014-2023, but I hope that the lesson learned from it is not to do too few of them going forward. OTOH, to this day, I wish that they'd learn how to (and how not to) really polish up and expand on classic adventures. Phandelver &...
