    ZEITGEIST Cypherblade's Zeitgeist campaign

    Easiest thing would be that he's caught up in the Dreaming, and sometimes gets pulled there, either like interplanar narcolepsy, or as a result of some pact or curse. If the campaign seems to have legs, maybe some time in the gap between adventure 5 and 6, while the main party is running down...

    D&D Movie/TV BG3: Youtube AI 1980s Dark Fantasy Movie

    It's impressive how close to the in-game designs they managed to get the copyright infringement machine to look. But the actual Baldur's Gate 3 - which was the work of hundreds of people who earned a living from their labor - looks better.

    Level Up (A5E) What is living on the food and "souls" put in extradimensional spaces?

    D&D General I have a week to plan a consequential dungeon

    Ah, this is getting my brain working. Okay, thank you.

    D&D General Best dungeons?

    What is it about The Forge of Fury that stands out, in your opinion?

    D&D General Best dungeons?

    Being as broad as possible, what's the best dungeon you've experienced - published or home-brewed? Was it the ambience? The peril? The game design? The storyline? For me, the best published dungeon I've played was book one of the Pathfinder Strange Aeons adventure path, where you wake up with...

    D&D General I have a week to plan a consequential dungeon

    My campaign is coming to an end in a few weeks, and one of the players has been itching for a while to have a good dungeon crawl, with maps and traps and puzzles and monsters. The campaign has had a fair bit of role-playing in the form of scheming and politicking, and the climax will probably...

    Gate Pass Gazette What’s In Gate Pass Gazette Annual 2024?

    I'm sure there'll be a proofread pass, but I noticed the table of contents has a couple typos. Botanotechnitian (should probably be technician with a C) Tinkerr Crowssbower (unless it's some pun where you shoot crows from your crossbow) Darting SHadow Javelinier I think should be javelineer...

    ZEITGEIST Cypherblade's Zeitgeist campaign

    The Gyre is a metaphysical thing that takes in 'dying worlds' and starts grinding them down. It's sort of like moons getting ripped apart by tidal forces and then turning into a ring like around Saturn, only in a different shape. Some chunks survive, and the largest chunks are the places the...

    ZEITGEIST Forward-thinking the Forward Symposium

    That's a really weird but fun idea.

    ZEITGEIST Deathwyrm's Zeitgeist Campaign - Clockwork Eclipse

    Congratulations to you and your players! I love the 'mini' for the Ash Wolf. And the death of the Voice of Rot sounds epic. I also will definitely do something shorter the next time I plan adventures. :D Do let me know if you give Death of the Author a try. You having a slightly different...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    http://talislanta.com/talislanta-library#3rd It was at the end of the main rule book. The creator of the game hosts all of the older books on this website for free.

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    I think it was maybe 3rd edition, but there was the intro adventure Mystery at the Magical Fair, and I've run that plot in like six different systems over the years because it's a fun little scenario.

    What do you use Chat GPT for?

    Once upon a time I thought Wolfram Alpha was good at taking natural language math problems and answering them, but I tried last night and it was just dumb as a doorknob. So I went to ChatGPT and asked it what would be the weight of a clay tablet that is 1 cubit by 1 cubit by one-fourth cubit. It...

    D&D General Out of Phase

    It's not quite what you're describing, but in EN Publishing's Monstrous Menagerie II, there's the Eclipsar. It's got the same naming pattern as planetars and solars, because it's an angel too, but its creation was interrupted. It was left on the liminal cusp of alive and not alive, and it...

    ZEITGEIST Q's About Running the Zeitgeist AP [my players keep out!]

    I do not recall adding any NPCs named Wickett. If you want an Ewok analogue, he could be some sort of fey like a harengon, or a goblin, or just a very hairy dwarf.

    ZEITGEIST Aartvb's Zeitgeist

    I don't recall what my advice was in the adventure on getting the whole party to come, but yeah, hopefully the players are okay with you nudging them to situations that they'll enjoy, as long as you aren't trying to thwart specific intentions. They probably thought, "Splitting up is a good way...

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    This phrasing reminds me of my first RPG setting: One thing I'd want to be careful of in a hopeful Dark Sun is to not shy away from how bad things are. Have hope despite the terrible situation. The vibe needs to be right. I feel like an adventure wheelchair isn't something that's believable in...

    WotBS Aartvb's Burning Sky

    It's always the case with old work, but I look back now seventeen years after publishing this adventure and wish I'd had a bit more meat to the politics of Dassen.
