My Guess (from the 2E era): Horde* (box set + 3 adventures) Maztica* (box set + 2 adventures + Gold & Glory) Jakandor (3 books) Council of Wyrms (boxed set/hardback) I'm not sure Mahasarpa counts, it was only a web supplement for 3E Oriental Adventures) There's also the MTG settings for 5E -...

Also, $666 for Planescape somehow seems appropriate...

In Gamma World, only those creatures borne of mutation can further mutate. Pure Strain Humans (or just about any D&D character) would take 8d6 damage instead. Gamma World and other games that feature Rads usually have some sort of method/device/tech for enduring or reversing the effects of...

Amazing analysis! Interesting Kara-Tur didn't make the cut for its own setting (it only has 11 products, by my count, so under the 15 minimum?). Also surprising that with the Gazetteers for Mystara that it didn't rank higher in setting material supplements (vs. modules).

@Jacob Lewis - sounds like BECMI all over again - which isn't a bad thing.

It was surprising difficult to find the Radiation rules in the old Gamma World game (2E, which uses modified D&D rules). This was the radiation exposure chart from that game: Intensity level was either a fixed number or randomly rolled on 3d4. Could change using the PC's CON score to...

Welcome to the forums! Sorry to dogpile, but as everyone has been saying eight is a lot of folks to start out with, and I would encourage splitting the group if you have the time to run two games. You can use plot to even encourage splitting up (half the group needs to go here, the other half...

I can see the appeal of a cheaper starter set, but I do remember using my old '81 Moldvay B/X set for years. While I'm not the audience for a starter set nowadays, I would to see the next generation get something they can keep and enjoy for years as well, rather than toss it out within a week...

Acrylic standees for the PCs would have been a great compromise between cardboard and plastic minis, I think.

I suppose the question is - what are you trying to fix? If I were to implement this, I'd be more inclined to go with Proficiency Bonus myself instead of Con Mod. It will slow recovery and still scale with level. It also keeps people from unduly seeking to puff up Constitution for accelerated...

Inspired by another thread. No set is ever perfect. If you had been in charge of the 2024 D&D Start Set (Heroes of the Borderlands), what would you have done differently? What would you keep?

Maybe it's the Mikey experience ("Mikey doesn't like anything - let's let him try it!") or the "He doth protest too much" feeling. A negative opinion without an associated attempt to try/learn about an item is something I expect most people will dismiss as obviously biased. I find people tend...

I suspect this was designed to appeal to both old hands and new. Specifically, to encourage the old hands to introduce new players to D&D. I've seen several comments about long-time players buying these boxes to onboard people they wanted to get into D&D, and I think that was something WotC...

The DM is under no obligation to help those who deliberately sabotage themselves. Some ability scores just aren't going to work for certain activities. Obviously, your group needs to reconsider dumping INT.

I miss the days of actually USING a DM's screen for things other than just hiding my notes. The 1E DM "pinball" screen got so much use, and it was all downhill from there. I don't think I've actually consulted anything on a DM's screen late 3.5E, though I still end up collecting them. I've...

Holmes was my first introduction, but it never really clicked. Moldvay/Cook B/X was the set that really taught me the game (I actually got mad about the Metzer set, as it didn't include B2 and I didn't like the organization). Still, while some of the themes in the new set are a little too...

NOOOO! It must be released for Intellivision, like the real D&D video games were! I passed on the last Stranger Things starter set, but this one has my interests. After having picked up Heroes of the Borderlands I'm curious to see if the entire tone of this set will different and if they...

Are we talking like Gamma World here? For D&D, check out the Blackmoor adventures (DA1 - Adventures in Blackmoor, DA2 - Temple of the Frog, DA3 - City of the Gods) and especially The Immortal Storm, which deals with the god Rad (as in "Radiation") fitzing with a nuclear reactor that is causing...
