The story version of the game is exactly this. It may not be the best story in the world, but its not at all random.

I've had the same experience. I appreciate that its not too tactical. I enjoy the story ok and I like poking about a familiar fantasy world. I do wish the level up options were more recognizable as dnd, but I don't mind the fighting being fairly automatic so maybe that's the trade off.

In my campaign which started a bit higher level, the cleric cast Restoration and cured Sarith. I think he'd make a great player character. He would still have all kinds of visions and dreams and an invitation to the Fungal Wedding.

Well, the group wandered back in after an onslaught of menacing flavor text emails. Ingesting a passel of shrinking shrooms, they investigated the "Mesa of Sound" again, but didn't risk anything. Then they meandered off into a spider lair. The two-headed spider muttered a bit and backed away...

What would be a good complication? Like, what would be a totally interesting interaction with a bunch of sketchy blue ghetto dwarves look like? Seem like it should be some kind of fantasy New Jack City scene.

SPOILERS I've been running the module for a couple months in a combination of play by post and occasional Google Hangout sessions. We are having a ton of fun. Demogorgon is loose and the group has only just gotten a bit of standard gear upon their arrival to the Dark Dwarf city. I was...

FG looks neat, and I have been easing into more virtual play, but it does seem like way more than I need. When I play on Roll20 its basically a hangout with a dice roller added. Maps WOULD be cool. Is it worth paying all that for maps? I feel like the thing that will get me to spring for it...

I started DMing it with characters averaging around 3rd level. They never got their stuff back and it's been great. They have a little more durability for the wilderness journey and I don't have to be too careful about wandering monsters but they still feel very vulnerable. I haven't changed...

Im runninf Death Frost Doom for noobs tomorrow.

I've had my players roll up a Sanity stat for this campaign. They roll under for Madness checks.

Gracklestugh is totally a Soviet behind the Iron Curtain fascist situation. Everyone is a secret policeman!

Great stuff Merric. You've helped create something really awesome down under. You do a lot for the community there and web-wide. Thanks!

I'm really into the 4e version of Duergar as spiky Asmodeous worshippers...

Huzzah! This gives me an idea to try to do an epic abbreviated version of Tiamat as well!

I'm curious about the fighter archetype. I believe the Rogue had the swashbuckler in UA. I hope the fighter option isn't "Mariner". That would be a bit underwhelming.

Warlock Patrons? Maybe Grazzt? Or something surprising like the Raven Queen?

That looks like ALOT of new character archetype options. 20 pages on the Gods is much more than I want. The endless pantheon sections campaign books are so tedious. I thought the PHB had just enough info. Anyways, this seems like a really tradition campaign guide. I hope there's some random...

I would probably say a character only needs to Save vs Madness once per encounter at most. So far, there have only been a few times where I've asked for a roll. It should definitely be an RP enhancer rather than a character de-generator!

Has no one else done this? That is, make a sort of sandbox where all the adventures are available all the time?

There's not really a track. They Abyss campaign is pretty much just the module right now, but the other group is just following their nose around, and I'm offering different things (including different shorter dungeons and scenarios).
