There is a lot of wandering monster checks that are just for combat. There is no reason to not spice it up some with the close roll but not not combat and have rodents get into your food or chew a hole in your pack. It might also be a bit of the game that is overlooked with the newer editions...

A lot depends on how the DM played things along the RPG developmental path. Did your wandering halflings keep having their family and village put in danger by the DM for 'plot reasons' or your wife held hostage so you are railroaded in going on this adventure? Eventually some players have all...

Some of the idea of a long campaign also depends on session length and not just on number of sessions. My group tends to just play for 2 hours so we have lots of sessions. We play 5e right now while we finish the current campaign and will use 5.5e when we start a new campaign. I'm not sure...

I tend to just play D&D, so I am already playing 60+ sessions campaigns with that system. It works and we are still having fun.

What a coincidence that a large object is heading for Earth and the government is 'shut down' preventing images and any knowledge of this getting out.

I did like the swordmage but fear they will just water it down into some meh.

How do you catch a unique dragon?

This was in a thread a few months ago with the cliff towns and vacation places in China. Says the inspiration for the Avatar movies.

Still finishing the 5e campaign, but think we will be 5.5e by Christmas if not sooner.

I guess most people are a mixture of the two ideas. I tried both and had varied degrees of success. I think if I was going to make something now, I might start with several big ideas and chart some ideas of how the map works, but then focus on the smaller area of the playing world. I find...

I would first be up front with them about the setting and see if they know anything or seen stuff online. It is a different setting and some people might not like it. I do not like it myself and would rather not play in that setting. Things might also depend on what edition of D&D you want...

The character who might not draw attention to the cleaner looking torch sconce and be all "I saw that but I did not think it was a big deal", but the player knows that they need to push it, pull it, turn it, whatever to find something like a secret door. Would the character know or do you make...

Maybe if it looked like a sexy robot elf we can give it human emotions, or at least treat it like it does.

Death by train. There must be a story there.

My poor rogue died one time from poor tactical choices. He went first in the combat and decides to enter the room to flank the hobgoblins by the door, since being a halfling he can move through bad guy spaces. Great idea since we were playing with flanking rules. Not great idea that nobody...

I think Under Illefarn was the one I got the most milage out of back in 1e days. They mostly remade it with Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle for the 5e next playtest. I have not played that one and always wanted to play the updated version since I'm guessing my father will not recall much from the...

I like the idea of 19 battle maps to go with the 12 country maps. Not sure the $150.00 price though if I would get my money worth. Nice map, not sure where it ties in with the books though.
