    Are We Looking At A New RPG Kickstarter Record?

    I think there are some aspects I was planning on including that probably won't be covered in your product, so I will keep it on the shelf. I am in the midst of another large product at the moment, so I need to get that one done first. I am looking forward to seeing what you put together!

    Are We Looking At A New RPG Kickstarter Record?

    Ironically, I had been thinking of making a similar product for DMs Guild. Guess that is now shelved lol.

    Treasure liquidity

    Most treasure is tracked by converting it into gold pieces. You can keep track of gems and jewelry for flavor, but normally it is all converted to gold pieces at the end of an adventure to make it divisible.

    Coming in May: Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes! [UPDATED!]

    I use a lot of NPC's as foes in my campaign and have put some stuff on DM's Guild. The most useful is a book of wizards levels 1-19 (every odd level) broken down by school. I also have one for rogues. http://www.dmsguild.com/product/185865/Big-Book-of-Wizards...

    Please remove Demiplane of Dread Story Award next season

    Nice maths. Largely misses the point. If a player wanted to play CoS at their LFGS and attempted to play the same character in 4 or 5 other adventures in between CoS sessions, they would end up spending 10+20+30+40+50=150 downtime days (assuming they had none of the other story awards that...

    People play AL at places other than Cons. For example, if I wanted to run a table of season 4 content at my FLGS and a player wanted to play the same character at a con or online (likely playing current season content) they get whacked with an increasing large DT penalty each time they come and...

    Please remove Demiplane of Dread Story Award next season

    By the same logic any season 7 adventure should invoke the death curse in future seasons, so characters don't miss out on the special 'feel' of season 7. If a character in a future season runs a single season 7 adventure, they should have to run a season 7 tier 3 adventure before they are clear...

    It's Time To Pre-Order Your Copy Of Into The Borderlands

    It came in the basic set but was advertised as usable for AD&D. In the early years, I bought every module and just converted them to AD&D if required. The rules were not as set in stone, so conversion was pretty simple.

    It's Time To Pre-Order Your Copy Of Into The Borderlands

    People like me. It is a pure nostalgia buy. As a young teen, I ran several groups of friends through B2 in 1980 and 1981 (many of them are still gaming today!). Just seeing the cover of that module evokes a rush of fond memories.

    Season 8 will switch to the Organized Play rules presented in XGTE

    Or... Allow player to bank their treasure points, BUT They can only buy items at the end of an adventure off the lists specified in the adventure. Give certain items a steep discount for that adventure as an incentive to purchase. For example, you may be able to buy off Lists A through C...

    Joining mid-chapter

    The first part of the quote seems to contradict your version. "A group of characters that play only part of a chapter or adventure can’t return to that chapter or adventure unless the entire group agrees to do so. That is, if a game runs exceedingly long and all players and the DM agree to meet...

    News Digest: Background Checks for WPN Volunteers and Store Employees, New D&D 5e Release Details, G

    Our LFGS owner mentioned the background check thing last night. I am all in favor of vetting people in positions that may put others at risk, but I am also wary of one more organization collecting massive amounts of personal information with no clear indication how the information will be...

    Joining mid-chapter

    Both. But once you start a chapter with a group, you must run that chapter with that group. For example, you could start ToA chapter 3 and attend sessions 3, 4, and 7. You would miss some content with that character but you can come and go at will. You would not be able to run Chapter 3 with...

    Please remove Demiplane of Dread Story Award next season

    Clearly we view the above statement differently. I look first toward the "Rule of Fun". D&D should be fun, enjoyable, and challenging. Placing arbitrary barriers in the way of play for no clear reason violates that rule (and is probably a bad business decision as it impacts the module author...

    Using that logic, you should bar characters from leaving any season without huge cost. You can't swing a dead familiar in AL without hitting someone wearing a cloak of displacement. (Actually you would likely miss them with the dead familiar since you have disadvantage!)

    Joining mid-chapter

    As I understand it, there is no rule against this. But...the player may not have previously ran any portion of the chapter and would no longer be able to run any portion of the chapter in the future except with the group they joined. Essentially, they miss out forever on the portion they missed.

    'Unique' because it is near impossible to play other content if you run an adventure from season 4? As I stated in the initial post, that is opposite of the main advantage of AL, character portability. Now that the season is over, it is unlikely you will find multiple tables running season 4...

    Please remove Demiplane of Dread Story Award next season

    Please get rid of the Demiplane of Dread story award when you come out with season 8 updates, it really runs counter to the whole concept of AL, character portability. It sort of made sense during the CoS season, encouraging players to progress through the current content, but now all it does...

    Goodman Games Latest News on Into The Borderlands

    I tend to ignore most 3rd party stuff, but I will pony up the cash for this one. I have fond memories of the original.
