When 9 year old me was introduced to the idea of D&D in the early 80s, it was always billed as a medieval fantasy and that is how I view it even. I like the concept of castles and kings, knights in plate facing dragons and monsters...etc. Modern fantasy and D&D doesn't fit that anymore but I...

Because I want that fake medieval feel. 1st and 2nd edition, you could do it. Just not so much now and I get that. I happily run and play D&D and other TTRPGs but I always long for that old style game feel.

I know, but it's the closest you can come I guess without turning the whole world into something that doesn't really work except as an odd super hero game. It's just how D&D plays unfortunately.

I get this. I really do. 1st and 2nd edition felt faux medieval to me. Middle Earth with a little more magic to it. Once 3rd edition/Pathfinder went dungeon punk and whatever it is 5th is now, I felt left behind. Once everyone has magic, NPC and PC alike, that feel has gone. It's Eberron and...

This might go slightly off book here but the following comes to mind. It's something that has come up in discussions with fellow role-players in person and online over the last 10-15 years. There is, as many have pointed out in this discussion, little real difference between the two schools, so...

Every group has always played RPGs differently to the majority of other groups out there. However, I would say that compared to how it used to be in the 80's and 90's, these are the differences that I've seen now. 1. Session Zero. We never used to do this. Everyone turned up on the night...

Decades ago I loved published adventures and would often slot them into home brew scenarios in my campaigns. These days I don't have the time and I much prefer having a full published campaign. From the last 15 years GMing and playing Pathfinder 1st edition, I have come to love how Paizo do...

I always wanted to play D&D when I was ickle. Started with the old red box basic D&D, moved to 1st edition and then 2nd. Played second from launch through to 3rd. When 4th was announced I looked into it and I hated it. It felt like a massive step backwards and it was not for me or my group. We...

Haven't rolled monster/NPC hit points since 1st edition. I prefer to give max HP simply because player characters are often more powerful than the monsters, so this makes the encounters more balanced.

They do. Usually about 16th. We never really get to push up to the 20th level and I think it would be nice if I could find something that would let my players experience it for once. We like the focused AP style of campaign. But there are some suggestions here by the looks of it that I could...

Thanks for the suggestions. It does look like most campaigns top out at 15th but that's cool.

I have a couple that I really love. 1. Dragonlance. Post-War of the Lance but before they ruined it with the Chaos War storyline. Krynn was the world that got me into D&D in the mid-80s. I like it for the more romanticized fantasy in the D&D genre. 2. Dark Sun. 2nd edition only as no other...

That looks interesting and right up our alley. Thanks. I'll add it to the list.

I've had a look on the DMguild and found an interesting looking campaign, Call from the Deep. Seems to have good reviews. Anyone have any experience with it?

I have a copy of Ghosts of Saltmarsh. I will run that at some point. I'm very happy with third party campaigns. I'll take a look at Scarlet Citadel. Any other suggestions?

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Hi all. I am looking for a D&D campaign running 1st through 20th. Something similar to Paizo's adventure paths (PF1 is our usual game of choice). Everywhere I look there is nothing. It seems campaigns for D&D5 are really short or everyone is just running individual adventures. Any suggestions...

Satisfied. My group has been together since 1992, with a couple changes. Our games are good fun but I really wish they would play more seriously. They go through silly names and things like that which twists my noodle as a GM and fellow player. Then we have one guy who is only interested in...

I'd say 5.5 of ours complete. Only one I can remember was one of mine that we started after Covid and I was rather rusty after 18 months of not gaming. That's the only one I can remember that ended prematurely.

For the likes of Star Wars tend to stick to the canon material as presented in the films. Not a fan of the ever increasing universe but that is a different topic. I have run many Star Trek campaigns and I focus on the TNG era and I keep that as close to TV/film canon as I can. Same with the...
