Yeah, that's even true for me - I've bought and skimmed it, but never got to actually give it a go. One day, I hope to get to try it out - maybe combine it with elements of Ghostwalk as a sort of 3rd faction (the spirits of the dead). I'd love to see it get opened to DM's Guild and see what...

"Stay Safe - Don't drink and roll"

The bold part usually results after a TPK...

Boo - uses spell slots and "up to Int mod" energy dice, which lets you front-load dice at low levels for disciplines. Should be "up to PB" energy dice. I'll stick with my hybrid Sorcerer/Warlock version.

Oddly enough, I've been reading a lot of my 2E rulebooks lately and eyeing a game of Old School Essentials (B4 - The Lost City)

If you institute a threshold, IMO you might as well go back to HP/level. As for the "not recovering" part - no thanks, unless this is for some nihilistic campaign, like Call of Cthulhu or Mork Borg (If I understand the premise of that game - I've never even cracked the cover of it).

General, not all. There's one or two pieces I do like (p. 6 of the 2024 PHB, for example), but it's only a small fraction. Certainly, none of the recent covers.

Seems like it would make 1st level characters invincible and ensure you never reach 20th. I don't see it working on any level of play.

@Stalker0 On Fabricate, a few things... 1) "You also can’t use it to create items that ordinarily require a high degree of craftsmanship, such as jewelry, weapons, glass, or armor, unless you have proficiency with the type of artisan’s tools used to craft such objects" - Unless the wizard has...

I just really don't like the general art direction the D&D books are going in. Curls my lips in the negative way Wayne Reynolds art does.

Same, I use the old "star metal" for adamantium, and getting enough together to make even the likes of a shield would on the order of an epic-level quest...

That does greatly depend on the style of play. A lot of times, if the game is just a constant dungeon raid, I'd expect that sort of behavior to be common. In other games, where characters can put the money to use - carousing, structures, henchmen/followers, titles, positions and whatnot - and...

As an aside, I can't carve up pumpkins myself. Pulling the "guts" out makes me want to hurl every time. So I have to settle for a little plastic one to put in the window every year.

Oh, I think I know what adventure you're in, it sounds very familiar ... best of luck.

Some people need directions, others are willing to take where the whim blows them. I don't think its bad to have that article for those who want structure, but I've always just started groups at the entrance to the Caves myself, then let them wander around from there if they want to (...and...

Yeah, actually having a non-dungeon setting vastly helps the Druid character (and the Ranger). Sounds like the DM has put you into an area that punishes creative play and specifically the Wildshape's strength - is this maze for the entire campaign or just one portion?

Drat. Hoping this was them re-opening their play/game center like they had in Seattle in the '90s.

Jakandor is the one setting I've seen TSR do where both sides (Necromancers/Civilization vs. Barbarians/Tribal) are presented as the hero AND the villain (in their own respective book). So does that mean I6 - Ravenloft & I10 - House on Griffon Hill weren't included as Ravenloft books? <Edit -...

One of the things in my campaign world is that spells like Continual Light ... only last as long as the caster. Wands & Staves deplete, potions are consumed, scroll burnt up on use. Most minor magic items have some sort of charge that is used up - or they stop functioning when the creator...

Oof. I usually custom write my own one-shots, and they're more designed for 6-8 hours. I've been doing an October Ravenloft adventure one-shot for years, this may be the first one I don't have something planned. Night of the Living Dead from Ravenloft 2E was perhaps my favorite one-shot...
