“Temple of Elemental Evil - Waterslide Hostel”

Well, that's certainly a twist...

I think there are common threads, but most of them are narrative fantasy games, not “D&D but narrative.” The designers are smart enough to tie into or reference the super-massive black hole at the center of the RPG galaxy. For example, LitM. It gives me zero “D&D but narrative” vibes. It’s a...

Depends. Is it modern D&D with massive piles of HP? Then it's luck and energy. Is it old-school D&D or a D&D-like? Then it's actual blood drawing contact. Otherwise it depends on the genre and the system. Toon? You're squashing and stretching the toon until they fall down, but they get back up...

French Toast, aka Pain Perdu, aka Arme Ritter, is a Roman invention that dates back to at least the 1st century CE. https://kitchenproject.com/history/FrenchToast/index.htm

Or the only door guaranteed to be unlocked during business hours is the front door.

We were the same for years. The trick that worked for us was instead of storing leftovers in the fridge, store the cooked components in the freezer. Defrost and reheat the individual bits and combine them. For example, we do a chicken tinga with rice. Make the tinga and freeze pre-measured...

Thanks, but no. I'm not touching anything DCC or Goodman Games related after Goodman's about face on working with bigots.

Tie it into Pirate Borg and you can have undead bard ashes you snort for psychic powers.

Not sure why you’re so hostile towards Ben. If we’re talking about things that aren’t a good look, that’s a place to start.

At a guess the reason being Ben can’t afford to print the tens of thousands of copies required for the economics of scale to kick in.

Near as I can tell the play loop of a dungeon crawl is: 1. Kick in the door. 2. Kill all the monsters. 3. Loot the bodies. 4. Search the room. 5. Find a new door. There are places where this can be expanded. Make step 1, kick in the door, interesting by including traps or puzzles that must be...

I gotta say I'm loving the sound of the campaign set up. Rebellion against an evil empire is always a banger.

Finished Perry Rhodan #2, The Third Power. With this installment Perry Rhodan and the crew of the Stardust manage to prevent WW3 by using advanced alien technology to negate nuclear reactions. The Western, Eastern, and Russian powers all launched their stockpiles of nukes and hoped some of their...

Both. I run it regularly, but not all the time. When I don't run it it's because of the things I listed.

Eberron is one of my all-time favorite D&D settings. I run it regularly but have to really fight against the urge to just homebrew my own to run an existing setting. I don't run Eberron for two reasons. First, the lore is absurdly dense and hard to collate across however many books. Plus...

Yes all around. It doesn't matter where the time pressure is coming from, why it's there, or what it is...only that some kind of time pressure exists. Wait too long and your torch burns down is just as compelling as wait too long and monsters attack (as long as those monsters are actually...
