For me, it is D&D's vancian magic system but more the Sorcerer style. By that I mean, you have these spells in your repertoire and you cast X many per level per day. I've never liked the standard Wizard version where you have to pick and choose specific spells not knowing if you have actually...

I'm a usual GM/DM and I also tend to get bored when playing. Actually I won't say bored, more... frustrated. As a GM I have more control over the direction of the game which I don't have as a player. It's also why I prefer to be the GM when I can. Not being a control freak, just I guess I'm more...

D&D 2024 one shot. Escort dead hero through desert.

Could Stoneshape help?

1st and 2nd edition, I have run Temple of Elemental Evil several times. Pretty much all the 3rd edition modules from Necromancer Games I have run multiple times for 3rd and Pathfinder 1. Shackled City adventure path I ran twice under 3rd edition and at least 3 or 4 times for Pathfinder (it's one...

Out of curiosity, I put the same picture prompt into Kling AI and it generated four male pictures.

This is what I've noticed with my first 2024 campaign, and the party only just hit 5th. Lower hit points means fights don't drag on too much but the characters (and their players) do feel more threatened, and it has made fights all the more enjoyable for it.

Thanks!

Do you have a link or remember the name of the book? Thanks

The only time I find fights tedious is when combatants just stand there and roll dice. Have opponents and monsters move around. Use the environment to make fights more interesting. Don't just think 2D on the battle mat.

Edit: Double Post.

This! I was shocked coming back to D&D to find one monster manual and MotM. I remember when 3.x had several monster books and NG did Tome of Horrors to bring all the classic monsters back into the game. There are still plenty of classic monsters that need updated and returning to the game.

No. Just a little more information than we are given.

Not at all. I don't need to know how Bullywugs, Beholders or Mind Flayers fit into the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk or Dragonlance settings. But I do need to know from a generic monster manual is what their culture/society is like, their attitudes towards others, their religions/faith, what they...

As someone who loved Dark Sun in second edition before TSR ruined it, this sounds a lot better than the original concept to me. If you ever flesh it out further I'd be interested to read it.

I like my monsters to be setting agnostic but I want full lore as to what they are, they do, their societies (if any), interactions...etc. I'm the same with campaign settings. Don't give me a ran down and leave stuff up to me. If there is something then give me the information so I can work with it.

Same here. Pretty much every day is my head running adventure or campaign thoughts and even play throughs (in advance of a session) in my head. Even at work this is what I'm doing. At night I've taken to falling asleep listening to a game session playing on youtube otherwise my brain keeps...

Yes and no. If we're talking a published campaign, then I will tell them the name. No reason not to. It does give some ideas. At present I am running a D&D 2024 campaign using Ghosts of Saltmarsh as the base plus additional scenarios and some plans for the future with specific character...

Call of Cthulhu 1920s. Murder Most Foul in London,

I'm a more visual person, so films and shows tend to influence me more than anything else. This would be my list. 1. The Lord of the Rings (Films and books). To me this is the epitome of what D&D is. LotR is the adventuring party, dungeons, and the basis for the long time quest/campaign for...
