It really feels like we're overthinking this. Surely if you want more spell slots you play a Bladesinger and if you don't want more do EK. Bladesinger 1:3 Fighter-Wizard while Eldritch Knight is 1:3 Wizard-Fighter

Looking forward to this. I saw the first film again recently. I remember thinking how well some of the elements would translate to Dark Sun in cities ruled by Sorcerer Kings. Both the methods of control and the measures taken when control starts to slip!

So my next D&D campaign is going to add in an element of degrees of success. Where on non-combat rolls a over achieving by 5 gets some kind of boost and by 10 gets something substantial. Failing by 5 or more gets some form of disadvantage meanwhile failing by 10 gets results in a more tangible...

I always thought 5e characters were pretty realized and capable at level 1. Sure they get a subclass and some important extras at level 3 but that’s only 900 XP of the 6500 XP they would need to reach 5. It always felt to me that the subclass was like the prestige class or kit of old.

I’m actually going back through old 2E dungeon magazine adventures and Forgotten Realms modules for inspiration for my next Dalelands campaign. There are some gems in there.

I’m all about the actions… slaying/overcoming monsters and obstacles and achieving objectives. I think the objectives are a big one missed off the list. A level appropriate XP award for achieving a level appropriate objective.

Excellent. In that case 6 sessions. Vote cast. One session to level two Two sessions to level three Three-Four sessions for all future levels.

I did say ‘a bit’ redundant. By which I mean completely redundant until level 5 and then it’s only doing 1d6 extra damage with all the penalties using a spell comes with. Bladesingers get Int bonus uses per day not proficiency now. So they are likely to be using 3-4 times a day. If you’re not...

I mean the biggest change is the new blade singer gets Int to attack and damage straight away. So true strike is actually a bit redundant for the most part.

I mean how long is a session? 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours? Big difference there.

So interestingly I broached the subject with my group face to face after our game this weekend. At least one player bounced pretty heavily off the idea of having an ithilid tadpole in their head. Even just the potential threat of it taking over his character was enough to feel coercive and...

Yeah, but there is a crown in the picture. Darksun doesn’t have kings or queens does it? 😉

So just out of interest, I found the answer with this video on Reddit. Very quick and easy.

I checked it out. They have added quite a bit and updated it to 2024 rules. If I was going to run this campaign again I would buy the upgrade.

Yeah our party loved it to. But it unfortunately gets a lot of grief here with posters poking holes.

Our group of jaded grognards played it level 1-15 to the very end. We had a lot of fun with it. We certainly didn’t feel like it wasn’t Greek enough. However it is very combat heavy but like any pre-printed campaign it is pitched at middle balance. If the PCs have system mastery then you will...

Worth also remembering that the elves were in open conflict with Netherill. What elves know about Netherill could be extremely prejudiced.
