I did just that. I had idea of GoT inspired campaign that would start PCs at level 10 and go to levels 15-17. When i say GoT inspired - it meant humanoids only in the world, no undead, monstrosities, abberations, outsiders or even dragons. Basically only medium sized human or human like races (...

Sorry, you misunderstood my point which was that PC can live like rock stars / action heroes and still don't worry about living expenses. My position on this topic was from the start that wealth doesn't matter per se past first few levels. After that, it matters only as much as players are...

Active gamer, more or less ( we manage 25-35 sessions per year). With limited time to play, i play or run 2 systems. D&D 5e and nWoD ( which i bought some 15 years ago in my early 20s and splurged monthly pay on books). All significant ttrpg purchases any of us in my group made in our early to...

Sad to hear that, but if it's worth anything, i feel you. My group had period like that, one year we played 11 session total. We would manage 2-3 in a row, then month or two nothing, then session or two in a row, then month or two nothing, with 3 and a half month brake from july to mid september...

Or they can live it like rock stars and have someone else foot the bill. From one of my games. Pc-s were around level 12-13. We squashed rebellion led by one of the nobles (by killing said noble and his entire bloodline), killed elemental prince that almost destroyed city harbor, squashed...

Not in 5e. Let's see what we have. Prestidigitation - dry cleaner, food chiller/warmer/flavorer ; cantrip Unseen servant - magical house maid/ cook/ server; 1st level ritual (no slots needed) Tiny hut - creates dry, comfortable, mostly spell proof, burglar/assasisn proof shelter; 3rd leve...

It came to Netflix in Croatia last year and i remember it being in top 10 for a few weeks. Watched it again when it came on netflix, still good fun movie on the second watching.

Yeah, updating and recycling old materials and aiming for nostalgia buys mainly from those grognards that stoped playing, gave away their old books and then returned to gaming with 5e. But some of the old grognards kept their old books and they want new stuff, not stuff they already have and can...

For 2024 version, all 3 books were 45 euros a piece in local game shop, with free delivery for orders above 80 euros. So it was 135 e for full set of 2024 rules, divided by 6 of us, that's bit over 20 euros per person. And we are good for some time. 2014 were also in similar range, about 40-45...

I'm expert grognard playing with couple of fresh master grognards. And in the grand scheme of things, we don't matter. Yes, my disposable income is higher than those of HS/colledge kids. But on the other hand i probably buy less stuff than most of them. As a group, we chip in and buy books for...

I'm talking also about preferences. But when we are discussing design of a commercial consumer product that aims for the broadest possible customer base, design choices have to take what is popular into account, since sometimes, like in this case, you can have preferences that are opposed. It's...

So much material, so few off top. Incal/Metabarons as tv series, HBO production, big budget. Nikopol Trilogy. While it did have french movie adaptation, it's only based on single volume. This one would be solid for adult animation. Blueberry - again, had french adaptation starring Vincent...

@Micah Sweet You have strong preference for in game consistency in relation to game mechanics, as in, in game fiction that reflects rules. On the other hand, personally, most of people i know, don't. They have zero problems with monsters and pc-s playing by different rules and don't even try...

Remember, lot's of tables don't use xp. Milestone leveling has become more mainstream, specially with newer generations. So tying gold and xp is out of the picture. While 3.x went into other extreme with magic market, at least it gave you something tangible for money. That and some sweet...

Or one can just throw massive amounts of low level "mundane" opponents if they don't wan't to venture into extra planar creatures. Agree. Support on how to run it via solid advice is non existent in DMG. While you can run lv 7 and lv 17 adventure in similar way, it doesn't work that great. Or...

I would say that's where D&D fun lies. In it's core, dnd is about tactical level skirmishes. Be it against lowly goblins or demon lords, it's still mostly revolves around combats. Mechanics and character abilities are 90% combat oriented. I have. It's called Houses of the Blooded. If my...

They pay other people to go out, risk their life and health to acquire more riches for them while they live comfortable life on semi passive income? Cause any adventurer with enough common sense would do just that. Or retire after few good hauls. No point in risking your neck when you can live...

Agree. They could have those tiers, but it should be strictly optional. And to be honest, personally, if high levels shifted to more of a domain management and faction power dynamics, i would rather play Houses of the Bloodied that is designed for that kind of games. D&D just isn't good at that...

What was response from your players? My group didn't particularly like it. It took too much time. I rolled individual initiative for every monster so some of the monsters, due to shear number of them, could act before players, cause when i ran one or two high level ones, if players won...

I once used 25 cr 1 creatures as a encounter for level 17 party. They came in waves of 5 round after round, but in xenomorph style ( from different directions in all 3 dimensions). Some spells that are AoE don't have description of area effect in all 3 dimensions, or it's kind of vague (30 feet...
