    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    A Larian production, like Ruin mentioned, might. I just don't see how a BG4, esp. one handed to a different company could get close. BG1-2 had interconnections between the two games. BG3 tied back to those two games through a few characters from those 1st two games, but delivered a whole slew...

    3PP Release The Night of the Knife: A Campaign Quartet Adventure

    Love the thought put into all of these! I like how flexible they come across as.

    Real Life Monsters

    I imagine a lot of stuff found in AUS would qualify. Huntsman spiders, while not dangerous, are scary; esp. if you find one who managed to conceal itself behind the giant shampoo bottles in your shower caddy! Emus caused all kinds of havoc to people in the 19th century according to newspaper...

    Looking for a Cyberpunk Genre Game

    Realize you've made progress on this end but wanted to echo Sinless as a possibility. I've not played but have done a cursory read through and listened to a one-shot, unedited live stream. It's lighter than Shadowrun, but not "rules light" (e.g. a Borg like game). Based firmly in OSR space. The...

    Alternatives to map-and-key

    Thoughtfully considering everyone's comments. Regarding the arbitrariness of clocks: The table was introduced to their 1st countdown clock ever this weekend. In the fiction, they'd been involved in a recent conflict moments before, were wounded and had no time for recovery. I asked them to...

    D&D 5E (2024) Atlas of Faerun (with some pictures from the internet)

    Simply appreciative of the many cited landmarks and points of interest; ppl had noted past maps were lacking. The style is similar to older Forgotten Realms maps; it also made me think immediately of the cloth maps you'd get inside the box with the computer games, and was nice enough to pin to...

    Free League Year Zero Engine

    That many sessions is great! I've heard this come up as a quick fix from others for longer-style campaigns. It's one I'm def. thinking of implementing.

    D&D General Requesting Advice on FR Pantheon

    Currently running a campaign set in Faerun, but not organized the pantheons (tm) down to a core set (the party only has one cleric). Looking over list, I think the suggestions ppl have made fit what you desire well! My only leaning besides including Tymora would be to urge having a more neutral...

    D&D General Kara Tur 5e

    What I might like to see: A developed honor system organized broadly around concepts like 面 (~one's image in public ), 臉, (~one's inward/personal reputation and 顏 (~sensitivity). Serious consequences when one messes up in any of the three pillar situations. Pulling from the respective Magic...

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    Should meaningfully add this isn't limited to ppls dwelling in rural or out-of-the-way places. When I was visiting my grandparents overseas who lived in a small city, as a teenager I wanted to go to the swimming pool which was in walking distance because it was hot. I was explicitly forbidden...

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    Adding that the malign influences in Spiritualism in the 19th century, which preyed on decent ppls' grief and irrevocably changed their personal association with those they were connected with, plays a factor in why skepticism is high regionally.

    Are Ghosts Real? (a poll)

    Spooky stories (that could involve ghosts) also serve that cultural purpose in keeping community members who dwell in more rural areas informed of places that legitimately aren't safe e.g. wandering by yourself late at night in a jungle.

    (Netflix) K-POP DEMON HUNTERS

    Secretly pining that someone would mention this animation! One reason I think this surprised many is that it is approachable enough such that even if you aren't familiar with the subculture in KPop or idol culture in general, you'll get it. At the same time, it's pretty obvious the film makers...

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    How you answered was great; mainly, was curious to see if there were any factors beyond the game, that that you felt constructively helped with ensuring the different campaigns went on for as long as it did.

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    Could you share roughly how much time these were in length, and hours per session? What positive factors did you find helpful in each of above groups?

    D&D General 70% Of Games End At Lvl 7?

    I'm glad this comment was made; I feel like based on other threads, my current table's progression is on the slower end of the pace spectrum (we just finished Session 17 this weekend; play has been a little over a year). I worry sometimes though the feedback has been positive.
