I think you’d end up in a situation where they all use different rules, or interpretations, or design philosophies at the table, and there wouldn’t be a consensus about what to include. My experience in listening to designers, across tabletop war games and RPGs, is that when designers play...

Calvin grabs his weapon and rushes over to where the boy is sleeping, keeping an eye out for danger. He nudges whoever is closest to his path to Knives, to wake them, and continues on. He looks around as he approaches to see if there are any enemies, or if it seems that Knives is having a...

The table has agreed to the setting logic in session 0. At least mine does. If I I decide that in my campaign world that wizard spells are inked on a wizard’s skin, rather than kept in spell books, and the only way to get new wizard spells is to access other wizard’s skins somehow, and the...

Calvin drops the tools and raft making materials, and gathers up his writing materials from around the fire. “I’ll take the first watch, if no one minds.” He sits by the fire with his broken mast at hand.

Ravenloft: Hair of Strahd

As a Ravenloft collector, hard pass. Between the cover and synopsis, not a single thing makes me want to read it.

@FitzTheRuke did the DMG come with the hexed Greyhawk map, and can you tell me what the size of the map is? (In inches?). Thanks! Still on the fence. This was going to be my only 2024 purchase, but I was hoping for variant rules myself. Appreciate the info!

“Heh. I think we’re all a few cards short of a deck.” Calvin chuckles at his own joke. “Nice harpoon. Lost mine in the scrum. Weren’t much use against them bones. Maybe it’ll wash up. I liked that harpoon.” He sighs. “We waitin’ here till t’others get back?” Calvin will continue...

"Bah, tweren't nothin but hangin onto some wreckage or another." He spits on the sand. "I'll start with helpin ye with the boat. And aye, it ain't bad, all things considered. If it floats." He grins widely. "Not surprised at all t'others'd wander about rather than puttin in any work...

((Greetings all)) Calvin washes up on the shore down the beach from where Desiree is building the boat, and after catching his breath, stands, picks up his broken piece of mast, and walks toward Desiree. He looks around and then calls "Are you the only one that made it, then?"

Great, thanks. The random generator gave me a Dinghy as equipment (and my background has Calvin deserting the military, so that could be the route). If its not able to fit into the story, I'll swap it out.

Hey Whizbang, if there is room at some point, let me know. Calvijn "Hook" Billesdale, A Brute who is a pretentious philosopher (randomly generated on the linked generator).

But they told me Iron Rations never go bad! 1-2 pages per "tool" seems sparse, and I wonder how much, if any examples will be provided. That was one of my big problems with 2014 DMG. Things like optional rest mechanics didn't have an example of what that would look like in play, and it made...

Then why put it in the DMG? Its clearly player facing. And they were very clear - see my quotes from the video above, about the DM not being allowed to touch it, even though they give lip service to "narrative" in the setting. Some of the discussion around danger was using bastions in, say...

Yeah, I don't really get why this is in the DMG. I don't get the feeling, right out of the gate, that the DM is being helped here. Even if they are "optional", they take that part of the DMG out of the DMs hands, and limit them. WOTC clearly is looking to help DMs with this book. (1:04)...

There are quite a few Greek Pizza places here in Philadelphia as well. I've never been a fan. We have way more NY style places though, so finding good pizza isn't tough (though none of it beats NY pizza from NY). I find nothing worse than ordering from a pizza place where the photo looks...

If you want an "out of the box" experience on FG , you're likely working with 2014 or 2024. If you want cross-compatibility, you're likely going to have to program that yourself. I added the Next Playtest for the Fighter to my FG 2014 campaign just fine. The 5e engine on FG was fairly easy to...

3d6 Down the Line Youtube Channel where they have been playing through the Halls of Arden Vul (85 sessions thus far), and had quite a few in Dolmenwood during the Dolmenwood Kickstarter. Lots of OSR discussion, actual gameplay, mapping, and links to house rules used in their campaigns.

Is the 2024 DMG still going to include the Greyhawk map that was talked about before?

Wow, yeah, no way. I would have bought this since Space: 1999 is a big nostalgia hit for me, I even have several Eagle Lander models. Maybe when/if it hits clearance sales.
