Consider the Sea of Fallen Stars as the location of Savage Tides. There are plenty of decadent ports there that could serve as FR not-Sasserine.

Yeah I also refute that argument. They have done plenty of great remakes. Everyone worried that Planescape would be terrible and the two biggest complaints were that there was too much cardboard in the box set and it didn’t cover enough of the (infinite) multiverse. Neither of which were...

I would adapt Red Hand of Doom for the Realms. You could also adapt Return to The Temple of Elemental Evil to FR as wrll Otherwise consider one of the three great dungeon magazine paths. Shackled City, Age of Worms or Savage Tides. Even if you don’t want to do the campaigns there are some...

Both good answers. Anything else folks might try to cure the little buggers?

Stick a link to it in your signature and mention it wherever possible. For instance you’ve created a thread here about promoting your book but have not actually named your book. Don’t be bashful. Be proud. Oh and by the way - well done. What an awesome achievement!

So onto other issues converting a CRPG to tabletop. What about curing the parasite. The wee beasties are protected by shadow magic which prevents normal methods of removing them working? What more creative ways can you think of to replace them… I’m thinking of things like decapitation then...

Did you like Wake of the Ravager?

I think you are probably right. The two big reasons not to for me would be. 1. There’s a lot of good low level play in BG3 and there isn’t much good low level player in DIA 2. It would mess up a lot of the NPC backstory/player backgrounds. I never considered stripping PCs of powers, I agree...

So after a response to Reynard’s comment that Descent into Avernus isn’t a spin of BG3 it got me thinking. DIA is more than just a prequel. It introduces so much of the plot and climate of BG3. It explains the presence of large numbers of tieflings in Act 1 It introduces the troubles in...

1. As a player it allows me to play the character I envision in my mind and inspires me with new ideas for characters. 2. As a DM it lets me easily construct satisfying encounters quickly and easily. 3, It’s simple but not too simple. 4. It cuts out a lot of un-fun things. 5. It manages to...

Well it kinda was a prequel. The large quantity of Tiefling stuff in BG3 is directly caused by the events in DIA.

Yes. But you’re saying it needs to have all this extra attention and I’m saying 4e locations that were already detailed in 4e relatively recently are not going to get a lot of attention.

Pretty sure most of this is 4e stuff. 4e forgotten realms was never gonna get lots of attention.

They are frankly awesome! 👏 👏👏

I never knew that the same fella who wrote the Enemy Within also wrote Night Below. Not a coincidence I don’t think. Just out of interest, which aboleth minis did you use for your game?

I also think FR would do better to really lean into the Unrelliable Narrator more and move away from Canon when it comes to events that can’t be certified. For instance it could be canon that the city of shade was seen in the air above the high forest 1372. However I don’t think we need a...

I definitely don’t expect a narrative. I want interesting locations, NPCs, factions, spells, magic items and creatures along with the plot hooks (or adventure outlines) that can link them. I don’t need to know who has ruled Mistledale for the last 150 years. It’s enough for me to know that...

When I see scoring like it just makes me sad because it points towards unreasonable expectations. Planescape is a 3… that just makes no sense at all. It’s a lovely set capturing so much of the cool things about Planescape. If I’m honest I was expecting zero 4e Abeir content as this was a return...

Dark Sun 2 book release.

I’d like to run Night Below. Would also like to run Planescape and Darksun. As a player I’d love to be a player in a really good WFRP campaigns, would also like to do some CoC.
