[thread necro!] So I'm looking for a short 3hr-ish one-shot to run for a bunch of not-completely-new players, one that contains both roleplaying and combat. I've seen this one recommended in several places, so i bought it. And it seems to do pretty much what I want, except I have a massive...

I can do that

Not sure if I've just got my timezone conversions messed up, but are we running late on this?

Oh hell yes, I'm all over this. I love Mulhorand and its surrounding areas - Unther, Estagund, the Great Rift, etc are some of my favourite parts of the Realms. Though it's a bit odd to see Ed Greenwood's name on it, as I'm pretty sure he distinctly does NOT love Mulhorand or the other bits of...

I mean, it works in theory, but in practice I suspect that the production costs of even one professionally produced streaming show would quite likely eat up the profits that WotC make on older edition material quite handily.

Have to admit, when you didn't get a bard-related initial ingredient i thought the judges missed a prime comedic opportunity. But honestly, you'd have just mercilessly killed off the bard as a plot hook in your submission, wouldn't you?

I think they were just invented to be used as fairly generic bad guy footsoldiers in one module, and then largely forgotten about.

One of the big 3 DMsGuild Dragonlance sourcebooks, and like all of them, has some good stuff and some less good stuff. Agreed that baaz draconians are a big gap here, as are the explosive death rules for the various draconian PC races. I'm not absolutely in love with the half-ogre rules, but...

I might just be showing my age, but I have real trouble mentally adjusting to the fact that in some parts of the world, ‘Xander’ is an actual name that real human beings have, rather than just being a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference.

You have no idea how much self-control I had to exert to prevent myself spinning up an alt account called ‘Harold Veeblefetzer’ and taking theatrical umbrage to this suggestion…

Sorry to go off-topic, but can you link me to where you’ve done this writing? I’m looking at running a heavily modified SotDQ at some point, and I’m kinda reading everything I can find in the pitfalls (even the Alexandrian’s stuff!)

Works for me.

I can't speak from first-hand experience of the products, but there's a couple of these have been kickstarted over the past year or two. Oodles of Oozes is one. There was also Slime - the digital component of kickstarter seems to have been delivered very recently, but a quick googling seems to...

Thanks to one of Australia’s more ridiculous public holidays, I have a long weekend coming up. Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday are all ok for me.

Someone already did that - might have been called Red Dawn or something like that? The kickstarter was, if i remember right, successfully funded and working on stretch goals, when it abruptly got yanked and as far as i know no explanation was forthcoming. Strong suspicion is that there was...

Well, strictly speaking it is Nanowrimo, not Nano&idmwrimo...

Iron DM and Nanowrimo. I’m doing November on HARD mode this year…

I'm certainly not the target audience for most of WotCs more recent products, but there's some I've enjoyed and nobody's ever going to like EVERYTHING a company puts out. But these days, the 3pp market is so huge and varied that i certainly can find products for which I AM the target audience...
