    What rpg system would you use for a 60+ session fantasy campaign?

    I tend to just play D&D, so I am already playing 60+ sessions campaigns with that system. It works and we are still having fun.

    3I/ATLAS

    What a coincidence that a large object is heading for Earth and the government is 'shut down' preventing images and any knowledge of this getting out.

    TTRPG Inspiration from real world nature, geography, etc

    This was in a thread a few months ago with the cliff towns and vacation places in China. Says the inspiration for the Avatar movies.

    Still finishing the 5e campaign, but think we will be 5.5e by Christmas if not sooner.

    World of Design: Flipping the Hourglass

    I guess most people are a mixture of the two ideas. I tried both and had varied degrees of success. I think if I was going to make something now, I might start with several big ideas and chart some ideas of how the map works, but then focus on the smaller area of the playing world. I find...

    D&D General Beginning under the Dark Sun (How to approach the setting ?)

    I would first be up front with them about the setting and see if they know anything or seen stuff online. It is a different setting and some people might not like it. I do not like it myself and would rather not play in that setting. Things might also depend on what edition of D&D you want...

    D&D General Perception vs Investigation

    The character who might not draw attention to the cleaner looking torch sconce and be all "I saw that but I did not think it was a big deal", but the player knows that they need to push it, pull it, turn it, whatever to find something like a secret door. Would the character know or do you make...

    ChatGPT lies then gaslights reporter with fake transcript

    Maybe if it looked like a sexy robot elf we can give it human emotions, or at least treat it like it does.

    IN REMEMBRANCE--2025

    Death by train. There must be a story there.

    D&D General I asked AI: "What's the Most Common Cause of Character Death?"

    My poor rogue died one time from poor tactical choices. He went first in the combat and decides to enter the room to flank the hobgoblins by the door, since being a halfling he can move through bad guy spaces. Great idea since we were playing with flanking rules. Not great idea that nobody...

    D&D General Favorite Forgotten Realms products of all time?

    I think Under Illefarn was the one I got the most milage out of back in 1e days. They mostly remade it with Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle for the 5e next playtest. I have not played that one and always wanted to play the updated version since I'm guessing my father will not recall much from the...

    D&D General Beadle & Grimms Forgotten Realms Premium Map Collection

    I like the idea of 19 battle maps to go with the 12 country maps. Not sure the $150.00 price though if I would get my money worth. Nice map, not sure where it ties in with the books though.

    D&D General Dumb Idea: Hit Points As Ablative Plot Armor That Doesn't Regenerate

    Would/should there need to be a different total number to start at for different classes? Should a fighter get more starting HP than a mage? Would this lead to taking a level of fighter to start with 1200 and then go mage if mage only started with 800? Another thing a smart party might do...

    D&D General Dumb Idea: Hit Points As Ablative Plot Armor That Doesn't Regenerate

    Also need to consider a player who wants to change characters or when a friend wants to join for a night and the PCs are 5th level. Would you start off at the rest of the party's average HP or just let them be like monsters and have normal HP.

    D&D General Dumb Idea: Hit Points As Ablative Plot Armor That Doesn't Regenerate

    Maybe the player can just choose to ignore something and take away HP. At first level you have the normal 10ish HP and get into something like a fight. You get hit and choose to take one away and ignore things. You get more at 2nd level to add to what you have remaining. This means that...
