I have never spent the time to confirm this (I mean, I have a life) but I get the impression that there are a handful of posters who can be perfectly reasonable and admit/accept nuance and the difference of experience in some threads but in other threads when confronted by folks from “the other...

“Nobody’s right when everybody’s wrong. . .” (<—— not a political statement, except in so far that D&D has its own political economy)

Hmmm, so I was reading a little more about this on the website and there was one thing that stuck out to me and made me hesitate: "Once the plot of the campaign kicks in, the players have just 60 days to uncover the secrets of the desert while Lord Ammu raises a monstrous army to march on...

Ooooh. I like a lot of what I've read here. I usually mostly a homebrewer, but I wonder if I can make use of this to place across an ocean in my current setting. I like the combination of Ancient Egyptian and some Darksun tropes. But I would want to do things like making the Porcine beastfolk...

I was really really really hoping that the eye-lien would end up in Boy Kavalier. 👁️ 👾

You know who I’m really tired of?

I considered myself a hardcore fan until about 1999, while feeling that you didn’t need to know anything outside of the original trilogy to be one (I read one SW novel once and realized i didn’t care about character interiority when it comes to Star Wars. If I can’t tell what a character is...

Hey @Gradine, I'm afraid I am going to have to withdraw. A close relative just had to unexpectedly go into the hospital, and on top of my head not being into it given what it going on, my schedule is going to be unpredictable in the coming weeks. Hopefully one of the alternates can take my...

Well, my version of Nulb is significantly different from the one in ToEE. It has the same basic shape, but it has been taken over by bugbears and goblins and members of an Earth Elemental Cult (in my game/setting the four elemental cults compete/ally depending on their immediate and long term...

Depends on the game. For D&D, everything ranging from a jarring parry that makes your arm feel momentarily numb to a grazing blow across the shoulder to an organ-puncturing or bone shattering blow. It really depends on how many hit point the target has left and how many points it does.

I am down to compete or judge, for whichever there is more need.

Oh and I’d say half-orc or hobgoblin

Ha. The PCs in my 5e Primordial Evil campaign literally got rooms at this hostel at the end of our Thursday night session.

A mix of random encounters (made from curated tables based on the region and terrain type) and “scripted” encounters, the proportion of which is determined by what is going on in the campaign. I also have a rolling mechanism for encounter determination that can call for rolling twice on the...

1. I only run homebrew settings, so avoiding it is not specifically about Eberron. 2. I am just not into magitech, artificing, warforged as PCs, and several of the other things that come to mind when I think of Eberron. 3. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't steal stuff to use from Eberron, (like...

I was gonna ask the same thing, having just seen this thread for the first time.

https://how-i-run-it.com/dragon-mag-monday-index/ I haven't posted one in a while, but am working on #113 currently.

For me it is an ongoing consideration that I make choices about from the very inception (dragons or giants or flumphs or demons or nilbogs might be a central part of what sets the setting apart), but continue to make those choices as the world grows and develops through play, esp. since I tend...

I never had this issue, but I often admired its cover, as it was often used in later issues to advertise ordering back issues. My own review of Dragon of this era (which really doesn't get going until #102 as I am using my own collection as the basis for reviewing) is repeatedly very critical...
