Whose body is floating in the void beyond room 10 of the ziggurat? Can the characters learn anything from checking it, or for that matter any of the other bodies in that room (before they animate and start attacking)? At least in the 4E version, it feels like a lot of detail is missing. It gives...

(WARNING - ZEITGEIST SPOILER BELOW) Not much love in the comments, yet they're winning the actual poll by a nose, or rather , and the only one over 50%, at this writing... I'm biased, they're my personal favorite, though I don't actually use them much.

For a different perspective, and one view on where I suspect many part ways with the old school mentality: What I always found with this, when those old-school versions were all there was as far as D&D was concerned, was that what you write here seemed true when you were looking at one class or...

Andre Norton's Witch World got a GURPS book so it just qualifies. While some aspects of it haven't aged well, it's a pretty well-detailed fantasy (with some sci-fi trappings) setting with a particularly well worked-out magic system and there's quite a body of work set there. Norton eventually...

I tried running heavily modified Age of Worms in, of all things, the Star Wars universe. I first had the idea when I was reading it and playing Knights of the Old Republic at the same time back when they were coming out. Big chunks needed to be changed out (e.g. Diamond Lake became Kessel, the...

Pre-3E saving throws. Absolutely nonsensical, to the point of being a serious obstacle to me going back and doing an old-school game, they bug me that much.

... and? It has been a good long time since WotC had a D&D setting that was even close to authentically medieval in print. In fact, I'm not sure WotC, as distinct from original-TSR, ever has. And Zeitgeist is certainly nothing of the sort. Most settings are much more urbanized, with remarkably...

I don't think a leather brigantine would be wearable... nor would it float very well, at least not for long. Wood seems all around much more viable for shipbuilding. (You no doubt mean "brigandine".) As for leather armour, it's in a weird place in D&D and other RPGs. It's sometimes said to be...

Sounds like a lot of work! I'm very glad this exists and will probably read it at some point, but I can't promise when. I just finished the second adventure in 4E with a group that quite likes that system. Haven't really had much of a chance to look at the other versions that already exist, let...

Setting aside most of the discussion and just touching on the original question, the biggest thing for me is that in a world like the Realms where the deities can be pretty active in directly interacting with mortals, there should be a lot fewer doctrinal disputes. When you can go on Reddit and...

I mean, there's at least a few initially well-reviewed titles of theirs that haven't stood the test of time, and keeping reviews positive to keep getting perks from the producers (which can go well beyond free books) is a pretty well-known issue, including, maybe especially, in adjacent spaces...

Well I didn't quite go all-in - backed for the three core hardcovers, then added Zeitgeist manually. I think it's easily the most I've spent on a Kickstarter, though. I'd say good luck but you don't seem to need it. It had already blown past its nominal goal a few times over by the time I went...

Plus WotC is in no sense an "investment company"...

There's a specific list of things you can do with the extra action from Haste, and casting a spell of any kind is not one of them. EDIT: Curses, ninjaed!

It's a small nitpick, I know, but you want "throes", not "throws".

Does this mean there's only one of each type of elemental?

Well I'll be dipped. That's kind of dumb though, the head is a lot smaller of a target and almost everyone will try to protect it with their weapon or shield or if all else fails by leaning back. Even letting an arm get cut off is better than taking a solid headshot without a helmet in...

Source? This is the first I've ever heard of this and I'm pretty sure I read the 1E DMG cover to cover multiple times back in the day.

The copy I downloaded, by way of Hirou, had (as his own post also suggests) a "Level2" file but no additional ones following that naming convention for higher levels.

[Thread necromancy in progress...] Just noticed a minor omission - these don't appear to include the Detect Planar Energies ritual Gale gives the party in the second adventure (which also figures in, at least, the third).
