40th session of my Dragon Heist/Deck of Many Things mashup. 8th level half-orc cavalier fighter, halfling swashbuckler rogue, and half-elf evoker wizard/grave cleric. The end of this campaign is in sight. I expect to wrap up at 50 sessions, give or take. Tonight was a transitional episode, as...

I've only started browsing through LU monsters now that my hardcover book has finally arrived. What struck me is that they're not too different than the original Monster Manual versions. I was surprised at how similar they are. And yet the small changes add up. They're better. Likely the LU...

39th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. At the end of the session they all advanced to 8th level. Running a modified version of Hall of Harsh Reflections -- an adventure from the Age of Worms adventure path...

I believe that 5E did deliver on its promise of modularity. However, nearly all of the modularity is on the player side, and almost none of it is on the GM side.

Never owned a Midnight product but have always loved the concept. I might buy this.

Most frequently I start with a published campaign, then heavily modify it to suit my tastes. For example, I'm currently running three campaigns. In my Banewarrens campaign, I'm trying to be very faithful to the adventure as written -- most of the Banewarrens itself are unchanged. However, I've...

Genius.

I'm currently running The Banewarrens. We're about halfway through. It's been a blast. I'm using my old 3E copy and we're playing Shadow of the Demon Lord. I like 5E, but it doesn't have mechanics that support the story of delving into a corrupted dungeon stocked with evil artifacts. SotDL, in...

Just pledged yesterday. I love monsters and 4E design, so this is like chocolate and peanut butter for me.

Courts of the Shadow Fey is one of my favorite adventures that I will never play. What did you think of it and do you plan to go back to it?

I'd actually like to see 5.5E flip it so that Feats were standard and ASIs were optional. Feats at 1, 4, 8, 12, etc. If you don't want a feat, you can add +1 to two ability scores. That's what I'm moving to in my home games. But, that said, I do think Backgrounds should have more mechanical...

38th session of my Neverwinter campaign. Three 7th level characters: half-orc vengeance paladin, human genie warlock, drow evoker wizard. Running a modified version of Hall of Harsh Reflections -- an adventure from the Age of Worms adventure path in Dungeon magazine -- which is part of ongoing...

I love Dragonlance. I got the first novel when I was in 5th grade and it was formative for me. Still heavily influences my fantasy worldbuilding (of which I think it's an excellent example). As for the particulars, I'll just echo what others here have said.
