D&D 2024 homebrew campaign: The Last Hyborean. Trapped Inside Angry Haunted House!

The One Ring. Giant Spiders. Orks. Fake Gandalf.

An amazing deal, getting both Curse of Strahd and Dungeons of the Mad Mage for £10 each.

I'm the DM/GM about 75% of the time. I enjoying playing but I get a better experience from the GM side of the screen.

Yes, it can be interpreted that way but it's still not a bad thing. Player's can have agency but the DM can't? I've been using Milestone XP for nearly 20 years and myself and the people I play with, find it works much better, more organic, than tracking XP. Different groups will obviously vary.

I've never told players when the milestone is and it can shift depending on what they do. Milestones generally aren't fixed like that. Like everything in the game, they are a guide.

20th and that sort of campaign took about 18 months, of weekly sessions of 4 hours.

I voted Milestone because that is what I prefer. However, I like a level to be roughly 3-4 sessions if I had to choose otherwise.

As a player and a DM, I prefer Milestone. Just let players level up at the right point, just don't drag it out too long.

D&D 2025 The Last Hyborean homebrew campaign. Rolling Cheese at Orcus Cult! 🧀

D&D 2024 Ghosts of Saltmarsh. Raiding Pirate Cove! Dragon's Lair!!!

When I'm writing a higher level scenario I tend to have a concept and then other than any specific "dungeons" I just write scenes, or detail locations. Let the players use their spells and abilities to determine the path. Maybe consider that as a concept.

ChatGTP is the same almost. It's programming has become silly restrictive. You can't do pictures depicting even fake people in a photo realistic quality without complaining that it might make a resemblance to someone real. As you were saying, some outfits on female pictures it won't do because...

D&D 2024 The Last Hyborean homebrew. Fighting Gnolls. Forest Fire! Oops!

From about the age of 9 I wanted to play D&D but my first was Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay in early 1987, which was closely followed by the BECMI D&D box sets. So Basic D&D was the my second.

Managed to get Fizban's Treasury of Dragons and Monsters of the Multiverse. Lots of monstery goodness.

The One Ring RPG. Dark Prophecy in Northern Realms!

We always do max HP at 1st but there after you can either take 50% or roll. From both groups I run for, pretty much they prefer rolling.

I've played D&D since 1st edition, although we skipped 4th for Pathfinder 1st. I've moved back to D&D with the 2024 edition because I've grown tired of heavy mechanical systems. 5th has the mechanical options to keep players interested but isn't so intensive or overpowered that I can't run...

Unfortunately it's the default imagery. We definately need more variety. If we can do it in our games, then the art should follow suit. My favourite Tiefling PC was a Fighter, who in appearance was a big mass of humanoid tentacles in a hessian sack.
