    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    "Guarding" is a bit strong. "Sitting on" or "Sleeping near" is a closer fit. Effectively the same thing, though!

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Book preview from NYCC

    Honestly, SanFran is too nice to be Baldur's Gate. I think BG might superficially look a bit like SanFran, but its personality is more like Los Angeles. Toronto works, too, like HT says. That would make Ramazith's Tower the CN Tower. I can see it. EDIT: Oh wait, HT said BG is Calgary. Hmm....

    Sure, but he set them all along a Western Coast. I'm sure you're right, but they can work in multiple ways. For example, Americans could also consider Neverwinter to be Seattle, if they were inclined. It's true that Waterdeep isn't much like Seattle, so it only works the way I like to...

    Probably Seattle. Why wouldn't WotC want to be in Waterdeep? Baldur's Gate is San Francisco. It's even got a big bridge and a rock in the bay.

    You gotta check your autocorrect! Hilarious.

    My RL family might be from "the Dales" if you go back far enough, but we've been in "Neverwinter" for six generations!

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lakefiltrate (Terrin) While others watched or spoke among themselves, Terrin examined the obelisk, shining light on its weathered surface of runes and strange markings. He quickly concluded that it was Elvish. Much of the symbols were magic - wards and seals - but some were words. Though...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

    I think a creative plan is in order. My idea was to let you go to L5 when the overall party has TWO of the Bhaalite Idols. So... maybe soon, but not before the Hydra needs to be dealt with. Of course, you don't HAVE to necessarily fight it (or at least, not to its death).

    Right! And this is how these work, so I think the word is appropriate. Call them Adventures and you have the confusion we are seeing in this thread. Myself, I think that these are great, and I welcome this increased variety to the way DM material is presented. We have plenty of fully...

    D&D General Hours actually playing RPGs, D&D?

    Yeah, I have no idea either. My best guess is that it takes (on average, it can wildly vary) about a month of real time to run the equivalent of a two-hour session. And this is at a decent rate! They can lag (and even fall apart, clearly).

    D&D General Hours actually playing RPGs, D&D?

    I play about 9 hours per week, in 3 to 4 games, and that's not including my PBP games here on ENWorld (because they were outlawed by the OP, which is fair - they take sooo much more time than "normal" games do).

    Four, but yeah - the job is to collect them up and use them to break into the central vault, which is where the Staff is expected to be. The Idols double as the "keys" that disable the wards that are placed on the Vault. Imani discovered all of this through extensive research.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    It IS pretty frustrating to SEE them on pallets for three weeks in a row, only to be told that they don't trust me not to break street date, so I can't have any yet, and then watch as everyone online gets theirs in the mail directly from WotC, yeah.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    D&D 5e 2024 is absolutely selling great. I fully believe that anyone who claims otherwise is... let's say, using "wishful thinking". That said, I have to admit, that I'm starting to agree with @Mark Craddock. I'll explain: When I first heard Mark make the claim (a long time ago now) that D&D...

    It could be, like I suppose that it once was, short for "Modular Adventure".

    A single session's worth of material! Honestly, it's about time that things were written for that timescale. I still don't like the term "Adventure" for that, but I guess that it fits. It reminds me of the word "Module", which some of us old folks still use interchangeably with "Adventure"...

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    Team Lakfiltrate (Team "Fusion"?) The individual in question, Stryke, returned to the new gathering. It was clear that he was somewhat uncomfortable being around more surface-world strangers, but he was satisfied that the numbers might make the upcoming task more achievable. He said, when...
