It looks ugly, but the NWN engine has been kept up to date by dedicated fans, so it's playable. There is more in it than is mentioned in the plot description on the wiki. Karsus and shades are in it. Not canon, but still something you might find inspiration in.

Might want to check out NWN: Shadows of Undrentide if you haven't already. Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide - Wikipedia

The political situation that has caused this is much bigger than a game of D&D. In the long run, the vulnerability of a world economic system based around quick and easy global transport has been clearly shown.

Plans for the Crystal Palace are easily available on line, so I thought I would post some, as they could be repurposed for D&D. The original design was much cooler than the finished building. It's also more like the Red Nails city. They didn't manage the dome, instead ending up with a half...

Back in the 80s, when it took potentially years for RPG products to be imported from the US, the British RPG industry was in a lot better shape. And I'm pretty sure TSR UK only existed because of the delay.

I live a lot further away than that, and one of the few things I learned about Canada in Geography was about the Great Lakes (we did a unit on Baffin island at junior level, but I don't think it was ever mentioned that it was part of Canada). The focus was on trade, but we did touch on fresh...

One would think any Canadian would be familiar with the Great Lakes. I would just make it freshwater. I’m all for fixing anything that doesn’t make much sense.

This is easy, you just tweak the description a little. “Halflings are fierce hunters who will eat anything in order to survive, including other sentient beings”. Preserving and defiling is always going be difficult, they didn’t work particularly well in the original. Simply describing the...

I assume they mean full of dark imagery, not grounded and naturalistic.

I don’t think I’ve ever had the thought “what I need right now is a mini-adventure”.

Fluff. Magic is magic, and many D&D settings wrote out gods because of the potential for deus ex machina. Goblins, orcs and dragons = Tolkien. Swords could be made from unobtanium for all it matters, they are still pointy things for stabbing monsters. Psionics was all over 1st edition AD&D...

The tropes that were flipped were Tolkien tropes, and what they were replaced with were tropes that had been in OD&D and lost in BX and AD&D. But it still had classes and levels and spells and abilities and xp and weapons and armour and monsters to kill. It’s fundamentally the same game...

This bit was too wall of text for a dyslexic like me. I prefer information presented in tables and diagrams. Or at least, short paragraphs.

Anime? I don’t remember that being particularly big back then. There was certainly stuff ripped off from Doctor Who and WH40K, but I think the reason this stuff didn’t make it in was down to page count and what the authors found interesting.

I mean, this is largely a taste thing, isn’t it? I thought VGR was a vast improvement on the 2nd edition boxed set, which I thought was a dumpster fire before dumpster fires were famous. And I really enjoyed Radiant Citadel.

They don't have to. If they don't the old version remains technically part of the 2024 rules, and the original DM is very underpowered, it's not going to break anything by having it technically in the game. Personally, I would rather see a non-suck Battle Rager.

Well, I drew a plan of Seaton Sluice. That sounds like it could be a place on a pirate or fantasy map.
