It's me again: Palaise de Operium (based loosely on the Palais Garnier): Commissioned by the royal family, this grand opera house stands atop Hackwark Hill and it is considered that both ends of the Grand Road were built to lead up to its courtyard. The opera house itself is over 500,000...

Ever? D&D (B/X-BECMI, 1E, 2E, 3/3.5E, 4E, 5E) Pathfinder 1E Star Wars (WEG, d20, SAGA) Star Trek (Decipher, Modipheus) Savage Worlds Vampire: The Masquerade Werewolf: The Apocalypse / The Forsaken Changling: The Lost Hunter - The Vigil Pendragon Shadowrun 3E Star Frontiers Alternity Aliens...

It took me a bit to understand what was going on with the falling guy in the background of the monk picture (dismounted sniper archer with arrow in hand from I'm guessing a deflect missiles use) - but what's the story with the person hanging half-way out the window? Got the sill pulled down on...

A note on Cloaks of Displacement - they can be taken out of the picture by attacks against saves (such as area effect spells like Fireball, Web or spells that entangle) or the likes of Magic Missile, that allies of the attacker can then use to their advantage - until the player's next turn. The...

Another idea: The Great Road: Not to be confused with the Grand Road in Hackwark, Lambeth's Great Road stretches from the edge of Trigon Bridge to the westernmost outskirts of Lambeth, curving to follow the base of the Lambeth Earthmound. While starting wide in the east - enough for two lanes...

An idea: The Waveswith Aquaduct and Canal: Some time ago, an enterprising individual realized there was great profit in erecting an aquaduct that ran almost directly from the Water Rift in Ellindam Lake straight down into Waveswith, bypassing the fouled waters of the Ell. The individual formed...

For my money's worth - streets. Seeing how the city blocks are broken out is pretty defining, from the grid layout of planned cities, to the meandering cow-trails-turned-roads of Atlanta, or the narrow, defensive streets of some European cities. It can be as defining as the architecture or the...

Sorry, I don't want a game organized around optimizers and tryhards. I want a relaxed game that can't be "solved" and is more interested in giving me the tools to tell a fun and interesting story. A mix of mechanics and not-mechanics that aid those stories, not "keeping players in line".

I suppose it comes down to "are you more a TV person or Movie person?" TV glosses over the differences in languages. Movies generally don't. As for Nothics speaking only Undercommon, I attribute it to them become like hermits in the dark underground, listening to and answering the strange...

It takes experience, familiarity - and most of all, not getting stung or frustrated. I'll admit, I gave up after my encounters with high level in 2nd and most especially 3rd and have no desire to repeat the experience. There's certainly individual people able to do it and have fun with it. I...

The ones I'm aware of are: Q1 - Queen of the Demonweb Pits (1E) (and the GDQ series that could be used overall) City of the Spider Queen (FR, 3E) Expedition to the Demonweb Pits (3E) I've run Q1, and I'd say it's pretty bad and unfocused, but it can be fun if you're willing to expand the alt...

From the adventures I've seen them publish over the ages, they never had the experience in the first place. 1E - "High level is dumb. We'll make all the character's high level abilities not work so the adventure won't be a cakewalk" (Bloodstone series) 2E - "Let's not talk about it. We have to...

If I had my way, it'd be boxed set instead of slipcases anyways :P

Back in 1E they did do a paper copy of Pool of Radiance, and I seem to remember something similar for PoR 2:Myth Drannor for 2E. Personally, I'd do a "parallel" story - something that runs in the same area and has similar story beats but complements the video game without duplicating it. Have...

They could bundle them together (for the DM) in a slipcase set (maybe with a DM's screen) like they did with the three-book format for Spelljammer and Planescape. They could still sell them seperately for those who don't want the slipcase set. I just hated for Spelljammer & Planescape set that...

I think you should try modrons of other shapes too - certainly the "all-seeing pyramid" seems likes it'd be a good fit, as would an octrahedron and certainly our 12-sided (die) friends. Also, I think that's a great thought on beholders - Modrons perhaps tainted by the Realm of Madness or...

I think one of the bigger problems is troupe play starts to break down at 10th+ level. Honestly, at these levels heroes start to be one-off's and adventures would make more sense if it was one high level adventurer and a group of lesser heroes. But no one is going to want to play...

You've gotten 898 views on this, so I think there's more than two people tuned in - others are probably lurking, waiting to see how this gets fleshed out or cribbing notes. One of the things I've been thinking about is a Fire Rift; we have the other three, could there be a Fire one, perhaps...

Ironically, the 2013 Premium Edition reprint of Unearthed Arcana incorporates that errata. Just a tad late...

Expanding on Birthright: DM Book 1) About 25 "big picture" adventures, covering the likes of Flood, Earthquake, Rebellion, Rampaging Beast and the like that would be things to handle at a domain level. About 25 "personal" quests - seeking an Artifact, dealing with a diplomat, investigating an...
