    Worlds of Design: There's a War On!

    I set my various campaigns in the midst of a theocratic succession war within the giant Holy Lothian Empire in my mashup campaign setting. This allows me to have advantages from both a points of light type setting and a lore heavy big civilization setting. Since many power players are drawn...

    Which are you, The plan everything out GM, or the Ad lib?

    While I normally run modules in my fairly heavily prepped mashup campaign setting, I have done a complete improv game once years ago and it went well. I had agreed to run a game for the kid of a pair of my friends who were hosting us for Thanksgiving. The kid was the same age as my son (who had...

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    D&D is mostly not about canons though so boarding actions often can fit really well with normal D&D. The big issue I would say is you often have casters with fireballs a few times as you close from a few individuals on perhaps both sides, while archers do their thing as well before you get the...

    I think it is time for a break.

    After college when I moved to a new city for law school there was about a five year period from 1995-2000 where I did not have a regular group and my gaming was limited to occasional bachelor parties and gaming weekends of my childhood friends/gaming group who had scattered across the country...

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    For a good guy/heroic pirate campaign have a bad guy nation/organization for them to raid. I played a good viking pirate in a campaign where I had a background of having raided a tiefling nation of slavers who traded their orc slaves to a lich emperor who needed sacrificial souls to keep him...

    What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

    60 means it lasts a little more than a full year if you game weekly. If its D&D and you advance a level every 4 games that would be going from levels 1-16.

    D&D 5E (2024) Views on 24 MM/SRD monster mechanics now

    Wolves having trip as their signature ability since 3.0 has always been a bit weird for me. 5e pack tactics is a great fit for the archetypal pack hunter though.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Yeah, I expect there were examples of it and that he found multiple instances of it in his interviews and observations. I still find it a jump to the Danielson reported conclusion that sexual violence was often integral to the gaming. "Men in private gaming groups often expressed an explicit...

    D&D General Whom has used the Egg of Coot?

    I too did not know who Mr. Welch was, or which Egg of Coot you were referring to. Blackmoor and the Egg of Coot has a lot of variations. Original Arneson's campaign. The very little in the 0e D&D supplement II Blackmoor (mostly just the Temple of the Frog), 1e and on Greyhawk country, Basic...

    Sequel game systems?

    In addition to potentially going from Dark Ages Vampire to Victorian Ages Vampire to modern Vampire the Masquerade with potentially the same character, you could go Ars Magica to Dark Ages Vampire with their shared setting and history, switching from one game rules system to the other if the...
