Philadelphia Experiment was a whole different thing, attempting to make a naval ship invisible and instead teleporting it or something equally weird. Supposedly a real event, though no one is really sure of what actually happened. The aircraft movie was The Final Countdown, and is of course...

Having played a lot of Battletech* in the day, I've done component breakouts for a few creatures - most recently a Gargantua for a one-shot in Ravinca where it was attacking the city and the PCs had to find a way to stop it. One of the things they found they could do is focus fire on an arm...

And then you have things like this, and you go WTF is this - I want to play in that! Which is from March 1989, BTW.

It waxes and wanes, and there's been traces of it all the way back to 1E, if not before. I mean, Spelljammer was created back in 2E. Barrier Mountains was 1E. Tale of the Comet was 2E. The Blackmoor series for Basic were in the 80's/90's. Urban Arcana was in the 3E era. Beyond these...

Yeah, for PC levels, as I've gotten older I agree. I was shocked when I bought OSE that it stopped at 15th, but after some reflection those higher levels just aren't for me. Really, I generally just use anything above 12th level for the bad guys or in the case of spells as one-shot treasures...

There are other interactions than combat. In the last campaign, the party through parley convinced the dragon to move to a new lair, farther away from the local human settlement.

Dungeons - all the time. Dragons - no more than one per campaign, and generally one so fearsome PCs are unlikely to combat it.

With the Earth/Air connections in Lambeth, there might be president for connection to Elemental Water in Waveswith and its influx helps to purify the Ell and the city's aquafiers, or could be a source for food from extraplanar fishing. I'd also like to see Giant Earth Ants in the caverns (ala...

WOTC: "Let's rename the Way of the Drunken Master to the Warrior of Intoxication." Also WOTC: "Name the 3rd level ability Drunken Technique." :confused:

I've generally found anything around about 15th+ level adventure-wise needs to be custom-written for the game you're running because the stakes tend to be so high at that point and you can't depend on the characters following some "average" power point designers would try to write for. Also...

You could try to rejigger this as a puzzle. Design the combat first, rolls, damage and spells and write down the round-by-round events. Cut the events into sections and give that to the players, like a jigsaw puzzle that they have to piece together to figure out what happened, putting events...

This feels like "Tell me about the Star Wars Universe without mentioning George Lucas or the movies/TV show". A lot of the interesting bits seems like it would be interacting with those components familiar from the tales they were used in.

What about friendly fire? Any reason you wouldn't want a player to drop a fireball on all allies to "heal" them, or exclusively attack each other to get their side's hit points up and not the enemies?

I'm trying to wrap my head around WHY you want to do this, but it is unique. Might also want to consider expended spell slots/abilities - some or all start expended and when they are "used", they gain the slot/uses back until full. It might be interesting to do this in a form of bidding -...

Yeah, Mearls is just wrong. But I tend to play enchanters anyways, so I just hate how 5E has mauled hold person, charm person and the like anyways.

What's sad is it's just a render (it says so on the web page), so that's not even what you're likely to get.

You had me wondering if I'd misposted somehow :)

I'm tired of switching editions, especially when I'm still enjoying them. I would not/will not buy it when it comes along.

Mighty servant of Luek-o is a battlemech/power armor. Tale of the Comet from 2e had an alien invasion, spaceships and space travel.
