    High-quality systemless books [+]

    Also, @Voadam brings up a good point - there are a lot of statless "coffee table" books out there for famous worlds that can be good sources for running worlds - at our house we have the likes of a world book of Pern, Song of Fire & Ice, Dark Crystal, Legend of Zelda, a couple of Magic the...

    help with adventure suggestions: BBEGs are quarreling ex-lovers.

    It could be the two are of different races/species that are in opposition to each other - imagine a Goblin King and Elf Queen at each other's throats with their minions caught in the middle battling each other comes to mind. Or Demons vs. Devils, Celestials vs. Fiends, Drow vs. High Elves...

    High-quality systemless books [+]

    Please pardon me as I toot my own horn. I've learned the hard way to do my campaign worlds systemless. I'm in the process of updating my personal home campaign world book (Amberos/The Dark Summit, replacing art and updating entries), but it's not ready yet. It's a kitchen sink fantasy world...

    Worlds of Design: Magic, Magic Everywhere

    Magic Monkeys, Disenchanters, Rust Monsters and Gray Ooze are the bane of magic-wielding adventurers - at least in older editions. Thieves and allowing PCs to sell off items for other (non-magic) things - castles, boats, titles, favors, etc. also works. Magic Monkey

    D&D General Looking for Skype alternatives

    I've used Zoom, Teams and Webex for work, Discord, Roll20 and Steam's Friend chat (no video, but there are the likes of Tabletop Simulator, Fantasy Grounds and the like for handling battlemaps and such) at home. Out of them all, I would say Discord has been the one I would prefer to use for...

    D&D 5E (2014) If you could run or play in any D&D 5e campaign right now, which would it be?

    I’d love to run B4 - The Lost City, preferrably the GG version, either as 5e or with OSE. Somehow following it up with Pharaoh, if not the whole Desert of Desolation series. I’ve also been writing up several campaign worlds journal style, (I’m up to 5, each in an 120 page journal) and I’d like...

    D&D 5E (2014) To Be or Not to Be: Legendary

    Monsters don't have to be statted out as Solos to work, but it makes them a bit more tactical and everyone has to pay closer attention when it has access to legendary actions. Without the solo abilities, as you've shown it acts less often but can hit with devastating attacks when it does...

    D&D General Best way to classify modules

    I kinda like the BEMCI "tier" code best, though I agree those in a series should have some prefix that groups them" Does Piazo's AP line use these sort of classifations? I seem to recall that like Rise of the Runelords might have.

    D&D General Best way to classify modules

    The letters weren't random, though they may not have been obvious. The ones I remember were B - "Basic" C - "Competition/Tournament" CM - "Companion" D - "Drow/Depths" DA - "Dave Arneson" EX - "Extension" G - "Giant" GA - "General Adventure" HHQ - "Head to Head Quest (i.e., 1 player, 1 DM)" I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Arcane Recovery strategy

    Probably two 1st and a 2nd. Mainly for the 1st in case Shield is needed, and 2nd lets me cast Invisibility.

    D&D 5E (2024) What upcoming WotC D&D product are you excited about?

    Sadly, none of them. Though I am curious about the starter set, at least to see the final contents. I love starter sets, and I rarely pass on them. But like the Rick/Morty and Stranger Things starters, I expect to end up passing on this one.
