Agree, it would have been a good idea to take away flying the ship from Ortegas for a while, so she, and the audience, can learn what else there is to her.

As we mentioned earlier, it’s possible this Xeno incubated in the cat, and is exhibiting cat-like (i.e. psycho) behaviour and movement. Which means there is another xeno, most likely a queen, that incubated in the human crew member. Which would make cat-xeno its protector. I expect the queen is...

As opposed to S&M, which would be the Underdark.

Nobles partying whist the world burns is a fairly common trope. There is a very similar scene in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous during a demonic invasion, for example. And, of course, they are all off their heads with alcohol and drugs.

This, frankly, is a disgrace. I wonder how many more copies they would have sold if they had the put the succubus on the cover?

Quite. It also occurred to me that they might want a FR location for the Keep on the Borderlands, and that would fit a S&S themed area.

I’m not familiar with - maybe ‘cos I bounced off 4e? I’ll research it when I have chance. Okay, looked it up. I would say it’s also too large and unfocused - not to mention too far from the familiar parts of FR with no obvious link. I think they are more likely to visit Aber proper. Although...

It’s Manga/Anime/Netflix series. One Piece - Wikipedia

I would rather have something new than endlessly recycling the same 40 year old adventure. Pretty much everyone must have read or played it by now, so it has no capacity to surprise.

I’m sure it can be run well (even played straight), and it may also be that it is (possibly) the most played 5e adventure that is is also the most “I had a bad experience” adventure.

Didn’t One Piece rob that idea?

As pointed out, it only takes 30% to vote against to get something thrown out, not a majority. And haters are far more likely to respond to polls than happy people, so there is a selection effect. But certainly, there are a fair number of haters. This sort of obsessive toxic fandom is a blight...

I don’t think stinginess is the reason I’ve come across several players who hate it with a passion. I wasn’t there, but I suspect it’s because it doesn’t do anything to discourage “weekend in Hell” and “evil DM” playstyles. The only bit I’ve used is the Amber Temple, and that certainly has at...

It works as well as it did with 2014, true. YMMV

1) Most kingdoms are not specially presented as “good guys”. 2) a local faction would be useless as a major faction for PCs in the game. Thus, they would at most get a passing mention. Settings exist to support play. They are not there so people can study imaginary history. Anything that is not...

VGR works fine with the 2024 rules.

My guess is the 3rd “DLC” will be Lae’zel’s guide to Toril-Space, and feature updated gith stat blocks. Would like personally: Rashemen and the East.

Kara Tur is almost certainly far too big for the word count. al Qadim is too similar to Calimshan. The Netheril thing ties in to Rime of the Frostmaiden and the BG3 backstory.

Technically, they are all part of the same multiverse, but crossover adventures were a huge thing in the early 80s. Gygax did Metamorphosis Alpha and Wonderland crossovers himself (and a bunch of others unpublished because copywrite). Cthulhu exists in most D&D settings though.

Okay, some specific issues with Cormyr and the Purple Dragons as previously portrayed: It's a feudal monarchy in which non-nobles (e.g. peasants, foreigners) have minimal rights or freedom. So far, so historical. The problem is, these are supposed to be the good guys! The PDs operate within...
