I still use bloodied myself. I reference a lot of old rules, but don't often deliberately use them.

I'm curious how much DM "fixing" - a la the Alexandrian's rebuilds - this module will need. At least the plot appears more plausible than some.

I like the idea of fighters getting more combat maneuvers, but I foresee a problem that would basically require the rule-makers to stick to their guns. Namely, that once you give fighters (for the sake of example) a called shot ability, you have to steadfastly resist the arguments of people who...

My college group decided that everything was Dave's fault. It saved time.

Well, you could use something like "restoration" or "preservation" as the positive word to better oppose corruption, if one of them felt right. Another word with a connotation of "building faithfully" might work better than those.

I love the idea, but something about my writing brain doens't like "Corruption" as the word here. I'd want a thematic word that better projects the antithesis here. Nitpicking comment over. Keep up the good work.

Goblins of the world, unite!

Like a lot of the weirder campaign ideas, this idea cries out for artwork. Do you have someone in your group who can draw peoples' characters?

And in the 2019 Watchmen series. Wasn't he also mentioned in Timeless?

The leather coat from an immortal Highlander

No reference to "Combat as War/Sport" just for old-times-sake?

Despite what some gamers claim, not all players want to be challenged. Sometimes they just want to tell the story of their cool character. I've sometimes felt I should try harder to make my players work for a win, but they get really tense and unhappy-looking if they think their characters...

Seems pretty situational to me - not a class you can just run the same play every fight. If you're fighting foes with a lot of energy damage, the Hill Giant Rune is lower priority, for example.

I think I read somewhere that Czernobog (as it was in the article) translates as "dark-haired god", and that Christians made up the idea that there needed to be a bright-haired counterpart? Anyone else heard this?

My groups and I all basically switched editions when the new edition came out - although we only playtested 4th edition the one time and switched to Pathfinder instead.

I'm more wondering why a thread discussing Campaign 3 is dominated by more complaining about someone not even in the show.

Running the final chapter of Rime of the Frostmaiden - (MINOR SPOILER) - and the players have decided to try to assassinate an arcanoloth. So I think I'm going to think out a series of skill checks necessary for a party to get surprise on an enemy who knows they're here and doesn't have a...

I wanted to try Council of Wyrms, but I didn't like the rules that balanced higher-tier dragons with longer "sleeping" times between levelling. It seemed to make actual campaigning weird. I'll have to see if these rules are interesting enough to work with.

I like traditional format - but I really want Spider, Giant to be listed under "S" and not "G".

Well, how many HP should a mummy lord have to make it a viable challenge for appropriately-levelled PCs?
