    D&D 5E (2024) Let's dream up new FR-style books for other Settings.

    If I had my way, it'd be boxed set instead of slipcases anyways :P

    D&D General Converting Bg3 to Tabletop

    Back in 1E they did do a paper copy of Pool of Radiance, and I seem to remember something similar for PoR 2:Myth Drannor for 2E. Personally, I'd do a "parallel" story - something that runs in the same area and has similar story beats but complements the video game without duplicating it. Have...

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's dream up new FR-style books for other Settings.

    They could bundle them together (for the DM) in a slipcase set (maybe with a DM's screen) like they did with the three-book format for Spelljammer and Planescape. They could still sell them seperately for those who don't want the slipcase set. I just hated for Spelljammer & Planescape set that...

    D&D General Using Bing to create my version of Modrons

    I think you should try modrons of other shapes too - certainly the "all-seeing pyramid" seems likes it'd be a good fit, as would an octrahedron and certainly our 12-sided (die) friends. Also, I think that's a great thought on beholders - Modrons perhaps tainted by the Realm of Madness or...

    D&D 5E (2024) Tiers of play, PCs, NPCs and narrative

    I think one of the bigger problems is troupe play starts to break down at 10th+ level. Honestly, at these levels heroes start to be one-off's and adventures would make more sense if it was one high level adventurer and a group of lesser heroes. But no one is going to want to play...

    D&D General A Setting! A Setting!

    You've gotten 898 views on this, so I think there's more than two people tuned in - others are probably lurking, waiting to see how this gets fleshed out or cribbing notes. One of the things I've been thinking about is a Fire Rift; we have the other three, could there be a Fire one, perhaps...

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    Ironically, the 2013 Premium Edition reprint of Unearthed Arcana incorporates that errata. Just a tad late...

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's dream up new FR-style books for other Settings.

    Expanding on Birthright: DM Book 1) About 25 "big picture" adventures, covering the likes of Flood, Earthquake, Rebellion, Rampaging Beast and the like that would be things to handle at a domain level. About 25 "personal" quests - seeking an Artifact, dealing with a diplomat, investigating an...

    D&D 5E (2024) Let's dream up new FR-style books for other Settings.

    I think Birthright would be fun. Especially if it had a section in it for Domain Management that could be translated to other campaigns. They really ought to do a Spelljammer set of books as well to add in the stuff we all feel was left out of the original 5E release (such as a system for...

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    Looking about, it seems a lot of the issue is inexperience. High level is rarely reached by designers, so they're unfamiliar with writing good adventures for those levels - they're used to writing adventures for the earlier part of the game that are more familiar and easier to account for...

    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    Philadelphia Experiment was a whole different thing, attempting to make a naval ship invisible and instead teleporting it or something equally weird. Supposedly a real event, though no one is really sure of what actually happened. The aircraft movie was The Final Countdown, and is of course...

    D&D 5E (2024) Tuning big single creatures into multi-part-creatures.

    Having played a lot of Battletech* in the day, I've done component breakouts for a few creatures - most recently a Gargantua for a one-shot in Ravinca where it was attacking the city and the PCs had to find a way to stop it. One of the things they found they could do is focus fire on an arm...

    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    And then you have things like this, and you go WTF is this - I want to play in that! Which is from March 1989, BTW.

    D&D General Who put all this Sci-Fi in my soup!?

    It waxes and wanes, and there's been traces of it all the way back to 1E, if not before. I mean, Spelljammer was created back in 2E. Barrier Mountains was 1E. Tale of the Comet was 2E. The Blackmoor series for Basic were in the 80's/90's. Urban Arcana was in the 3E era. Beyond these...

    D&D General Adventurers in Faerun-The Book of Low and Mid Level Adventures?

    Yeah, for PC levels, as I've gotten older I agree. I was shocked when I bought OSE that it stopped at 15th, but after some reflection those higher levels just aren't for me. Really, I generally just use anything above 12th level for the bad guys or in the case of spells as one-shot treasures...

    D&D General How often do you use or encounter Dungeons and/or Dragons in your games?

    There are other interactions than combat. In the last campaign, the party through parley convinced the dragon to move to a new lair, farther away from the local human settlement.

    D&D General How often do you use or encounter Dungeons and/or Dragons in your games?

    Dungeons - all the time. Dragons - no more than one per campaign, and generally one so fearsome PCs are unlikely to combat it.

    D&D General A Setting! A Setting!

    With the Earth/Air connections in Lambeth, there might be president for connection to Elemental Water in Waveswith and its influx helps to purify the Ell and the city's aquafiers, or could be a source for food from extraplanar fishing. I'd also like to see Giant Earth Ants in the caverns (ala...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    WOTC: "Let's rename the Way of the Drunken Master to the Warrior of Intoxication." Also WOTC: "Name the 3rd level ability Drunken Technique." :confused:
