"Elemental" in the phrase Temple of Elemental Evil doesn't, or at least didn't originally, have anything to do with the classical elements, but was meant in the sense of "most basic or fundamental". It was originally a disturbingly crazy death cult dedicated to bringing about the end of the...

I don't know but I too would be interested in this.

The middle option if I absolutely had to choose one, but I'd prefer to leave it as is except for house ruling short rests down from an hour to a deliberately fuzzily defined "few minutes".

There's probably a few things conflated here that shouldn't be. For one thing, "Star Wars" in this context meant something very different in 2004 than it does now.

Is there an estimate on when this will be out? I didn't notice one in the article. Also, is there a good, succinct, preferably free introduction to this apparently-controversial "2d20 system" somewhere? I've heard of it before but know nothing about it, including what makes opinions on it so...

Backing it, but I notice the Kickstarter page doesn't actually seem to mention 5E. Any special reason for that? Just lack of an official license? To what extent is it actually "5E-powered"?

Sort-of-sorry about the necro, but regarding the questions about converting it to Forgettable Realms and other settings besides the one it comes with, the whole thing takes place on a fairly self-contained peninsula about the combined size of France and Spain. That - and actually, not even all...

Feels a lot like the Divinity: Original Sin games but making even better use of the third dimension. In case it's not obvious that's a very strong positive.

Yes, that seems to have stopped it for now. If it had continued to send hourly all night (in my time zone) I would have two more instances of it than I do.

Seven copies here, so far, exactly an hour apart since 8:10 PM my time (it's currently about 10 to 3 in the morning).

Well, I do need a little more than "I try to use Persuasion on him!", which players have tried on me from time to time. What are you trying to persuade this person of? But that's no different from how I run any other skill, it's just that the question seems to arise a lot more often with social...

I just grabbed a generic-ish CR 20 warrior type stat block, because the staging for that fight says that's his CR, and ad libbed minor spellcasting abilities because it mentioned him having a wand. That's a problem with a LOT of encounters at that stage, he's almost the least of them. How...

... seems to be missing from the Complete Campaign book. Running the end of adventure 11 RIGHT NOW and I could have sworn I had at least a rough idea of it, but right now I cannot find it anywhere.

Okay, what the heck is a "huhoad"? I take it it's some sort of extraplanar monster, but that's about it. I ask because one shows up without explanation, as though the reader is supposed to already know what it is, near the beginning of adventure 11 (3.5 version). Even Google doesn't turn up...

(ignore this post, missed a response to a similar question earlier in the thread)

It may be weak in a straight up fight but it also gets Cure Wounds as a ritual from second level, which is absolutely broken and the first thing that jumped out at me. I'm amazed no-one else has pointed this out, and for that matter that it wasn't caught in editing. Not a good first impression...

There's some spam posts in General about something called votofel cream or something like that. I reported one of them but there seem to be at least three.

What are "CoreRPG", "MoreCore" (I assume those two are related?), and "AD"?

Avellone's involvement is an excellent sign. I wonder if they'll even try to implement the hexcrawling aspect, or for that matter the rulership side. Any links to anything that addresses that?

Okay, found the rule. So if passive checks are normally "taking 10", on a passive check with disadvantage you're "taking 5" and with advantage, "taking 15". Kind of interesting actually. I withdraw that part of what I said, though the last paragraph is still true regardless.
