    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    I was thinking of having the keep further into the Sword Mountains south of Phandalin where it could be more on the edge of civilization. Phandalin could be a resupply point or safe zone.

    Release [Chaosium] Out now: RuneQuest Adventure Tokens

    I like the style and feel of them. I do not know if I could use them at my table though. There is a lot of busyness and colors that make it hard to see quickly, like some of the new dice that are out.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    I would like to see a follow-on to the new box set to take the campaign to level 7ish. Something similar to the 3 pdfs that came out for after Icespire Peak box set. I also feel that they will sub out a campaign book to a 3pp to built some tie-ins with other publishers and allow more to the...

    D&D 5E (2024) ADHD Medication Design Challenge: Let's skin this cat.

    I was torn between magic items and spells, but chose spells. I could use some cool bad-guy spells from clerics of evil gods. I recall using the old powers and pantheons books for FR and limiting spells to certain gods. Gave them a flavor- much like 11 herbs and spices.

    D&D General What alignment are you?

    I would think most of the time I'm LG. I obey the law and don't murder-hobo. I'm rather boring I guess.

    RPG Evolution: You Go First

    It was not that dark in the daytime, but at night it was darker than 3 feet up a bulls butt. Not even stars- and someone thought it was a good idea to have a troop movement cross country.

    RPG Evolution: You Go First

    I recall the darkness of the Panama jungle. It took us 8 hours to travel 1 mile up and down and through the jungle avoiding the mud and thorns and rivers. We needed to hold onto the person in front of you to not get lost.

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    I'm old. Whatever you kids call music these days. At least I have an iPhone, but it is an 8.

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    I was able to click a video and it plays just now. Don't expect much over the other YouTube videos that came out over the last week. Edit: Still cannot buy the PDF for another hour I see.

    D&D General In Search of ...Fzoul Chembryl, Twice-Chosen of Bane

    It is certainly a better plot than just saying 'magic' or 'clone' like Manshoon. You really put a lot of thought and depth into how he ties in with other regions and factions.

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    "Look Frodo, it comes in 40s." Would have explained a lot about Bree.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hotel Artemis movie idea as a 1-shot?

    It could be done as a 5e game with more standard stuff. It is a closed dungeon with several loops of rooms and NPCs. It could be a hospital in a city or more like the movie with being an adventurers place. There could be other adventuring groups with friend or foe thoughts to the PCs. A few...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms - why do you still like running games here? +

    I did get a lot of use from the Cloak and Dagger book from 2e with the evil societies.

    [PLEASE HALP!] 5-hour flight; what video game should I play?

    I only have Plants vs. Zombies on my phone that I play. I did try to play Stark Tower Defense a few weeks ago and it does not work with current flash drive something. I'm just old I guess.

    D&D General Monster Importance in Homebrews?

    When I make a setting I tend to only make a local area or kingdom size area and not the whole world. Depending on the type of terrain depends on some of the monsters I tend to use. I like orcs, gnolls, and hobgoblins but would not place all three in the same local area. I tend to view this as...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms - why do you still like running games here? +

    I played 1e/2e starting with Under Illefarn adventure back when I first started being a DM. I liked the breath of information and the amount of detail in some places and still be allowed to add my things. The gods were there if you wanted or you could skip them like the super NPCs in the...
