    D&D General Adventure Titles

    I am designing a megadungeon I might publish next year, which I'm calling The Bastion of Ten Dooms. Amid the sprawl of free-form delving there are ten nodes that can have adventures centered on them. Prologue – The Parade of Peril. Adventure One – The Befouled Oasis. Level 1. Adventure Two – A...

    D&D General What does the mundane high level fighter look like? [+]

    Some day I'll make a game where creatures have wound thresholds, where if your attack does at least X damage, the target suffers a wound. Normally you'd maybe roll to determine what wound you inflict (which might, like, temporarily blind, or hobble, or disarm, or apply some other condition)...

    Player Core and Gamemaster Core Remastered Review

    Are there any photos of the interior you could share? One of my qualms with PF2 was sort of the same qualm I had with 4e: the aesthetic being too blocky, too "we took items meant for a video game menu and put them in a book." I prefer the more natural language of 3e, PF1, and 5e.

    Player Core and Gamemaster Core Remastered Review

    This is a universe with magic and miracles. If someone gets shot and their heart stops in the real world, we can seal the wound, perform CPR, and sometimes resuscitate them ten or fifteen minutes after they apparently died. D&D and PF and so many other games make people die way too fast. Like...

    D&D 5E (2014) Justin Alexander's review of Shattered Obelisk is pretty scathing

    I agree with your premise. Just chiming in for pedantry, because that figure of speech is actually spelled in an unexpected way due to its origin: Why Do We 'Bury the Lede?'

    WotBS In Pathfinder 1st ed

    Well, just break the rules. She's done a bunch of rituals, and is channeling power from many followers, and has pacts with Hell, and her veins flow with the blood of a divine eagle. Hell, why even worry about a statblock? Just decide what spells you want her to be able to cast, and say that she...

    I want to be able to buy my kid an Underdark playset

    I need to draw what I'd like to see, I suppose. A bit of this. A bit of that. Probably a little this too. And do it at this scale.

    Spelljammer Planetar, solar, . . . what other 'celestial-object-plus-ar' could we make angels out of?

    Lunar seems obvious. Quasar? Stellar just seems like another version of solar. Cometar? Nebular? Novar? Supernovar? Metear? Meteorar? And what sort of space object is an Aasim?

    I want to be able to buy my kid an Underdark playset

    Aren't those, like, $10 for a 2 inch by 2 inch piece or something? If this He-Man thing is like $80 for the whole kit: Masters Of the Universe Origins Playset Snake Mountain With 2 Figures Then maybe something with more detail and different components might go for $100 or $200?

    I want to be able to buy my kid an Underdark playset

    I don't have a kid yet, but well, my wife and I were checking out an exhibit at Atlanta's High Museum of Art on Beatrix Potter: (Really great exhibit, by the way. That woman was a virtuoso.) In one little corner of the exhibit was a photo someone had sent her of a doll house they had made for...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate has great companion character arcs. Are such things possible or even desirable in published adventure paths?

    (Very mild spoilers for BG3.) I just finished BG3 last night, and (aside from the very ending which needs a fuller epilogue), the game has some really stand-out character arcs for the various companion NPCs. If you go the route most players do, you'll design your own character, and along the...
