Well it kinda was a prequel. The large quantity of Tiefling stuff in BG3 is directly caused by the events in DIA.

Yes. But you’re saying it needs to have all this extra attention and I’m saying 4e locations that were already detailed in 4e relatively recently are not going to get a lot of attention.

Pretty sure most of this is 4e stuff. 4e forgotten realms was never gonna get lots of attention.

They are frankly awesome! 👏 👏👏

I never knew that the same fella who wrote the Enemy Within also wrote Night Below. Not a coincidence I don’t think. Just out of interest, which aboleth minis did you use for your game?

I also think FR would do better to really lean into the Unrelliable Narrator more and move away from Canon when it comes to events that can’t be certified. For instance it could be canon that the city of shade was seen in the air above the high forest 1372. However I don’t think we need a...

I definitely don’t expect a narrative. I want interesting locations, NPCs, factions, spells, magic items and creatures along with the plot hooks (or adventure outlines) that can link them. I don’t need to know who has ruled Mistledale for the last 150 years. It’s enough for me to know that...

When I see scoring like it just makes me sad because it points towards unreasonable expectations. Planescape is a 3… that just makes no sense at all. It’s a lovely set capturing so much of the cool things about Planescape. If I’m honest I was expecting zero 4e Abeir content as this was a return...

Dark Sun 2 book release.

I’d like to run Night Below. Would also like to run Planescape and Darksun. As a player I’d love to be a player in a really good WFRP campaigns, would also like to do some CoC.

I’m alright with not everything being balanced or even optimal. Provided the majority is and particularly things linked to key popular organisations. Sometimes folks want to embrace the randomness and see adverse effects as something they get to explore and enjoy rather something that stops...

The single biggest piece of advice about running a high level campaign though is to pick your players wisely. If they are the sorts to be using circle magic to extend the range of Animal Shapes to 5,000 feet radius and arguing with you at the table then the number of moving parts and toys that...

Some good ideas I think to address the imbalance between plausible demographics and sufficient high level threats would be things like… Full scale Githzerai invasion from the astral planes (there was a dragon magazine that discussed this) Discovery of hellstone/wyrdstone that has a strange...

The question is not whether it is possible to see 1000 feet. It’s whether there is terrain on the approach to the tower that the dragon can use to gain total cover. As I said the dragon gets hit by the first Tasha’s Laughter and then on its next turn takes cover behind a building or trees, or...

Yeah the two most unbalancing things in the game are ridiculous ACs and ridiculous spell/abilities DCs. Both trivialize the game to one extent or another.

I found one of my posts from a couple of years back about the Seven Maxims raised in AD&D’s High Level Campaigns accessory. It contained all sorts of weird and wonderful rules - 10th level magic etc. I still have my High Level Campaigns hardcover from AD&D. Ironically one of the few books i...

Well the main reason would be it can take years of play to do it. A few times it was mentioned to just jump to high level play. If you do that then option 1 isn’t a choice. Second reason would be a lot of published campaigns don’t have a structure that supports option 1. Case in point being Age...

The core problem is that the players can go anywhere. I think you have two choices. Up verisimilitude to 200% or up artificiality to 200%. So either establish boundaries because the PCs are so engaged with a setting they don’t want to go elsewhere or establish limits by stopping them going...

You could screenshot battle maps but It’s worth saying the BG3 wiki has every map saved as an image without keys.

You’ve had your answer do as you will, you were handed a branch to hold onto to pull you out. If you choose not to grab on that’s your call. I’ll be enjoying circle magic just fine. I really do suggest you consider going for a walk though. Look around and see how far you can actually see the...
