    Best practices for easy-to-run modules [+]

    In D&D as a player I generally expect there might be both traps I cannot see that I trigger and ones that I can figure out to avoid. Some games you might want it to be all things that can be figured out, sort of an Indiana Jones/Doctor Who style one and that can be fun and give a specific tone...

    Game Balance, what is it to you, why is it important, and what if you all but threw it out?

    For me this is the one I want the most, and mostly in combat. I run D&D and combat happens a lot and I don't want some players to be outclassed by others every time combat comes up. I want it to be a team activity where everyone participates meaningfully. 4e was fantastic on doing this and...

    Birthright: Book of Priestcraft (2e) 2e Undead, Undead Creature: A favorite tactic of Kriesha's followers is to provide an enemy with the certain knowledge that his body will be animated after his death and used to serve the Vos. Rumors abound of certain very powerful high priestesses of Kriesha...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Mostly from stuff developed outside of his short movie appearance. Gendy Tartakovsky's build up of him made him much cooler.

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    Thanks for putting out the chart for clarity. I would not say "does not support whatsoever". Does not fully support works though. 2/3 of the background options are consistent for all but two of them and even for cult of the dragon and purple dragons they still have a stat where you can get...

    Bastion of Faith (2e) 2e Saint Ferrante, Antiprophet of Hieroneous: As recorded in the Penitent Fragments, Ferrante was touched by Kahabros, and explored dark and unhealthy Temptations. Despite all Ferrante had done for the church, or possibly because of it, Hieroneous struck down Ferrante in...

    Other D&D Variant Castles&Crusades: Codex Exaltum and Codex Infernum

    I find Kult’s model pretty fun too. I have adapted it for use in a D&D game as an in world conspiracy theory about the gods. I find 4e’s model of angels just being astral servants of gods (including neutral and evil ones) works well in a D&D polytheistic context.

    Other D&D Variant Castles&Crusades: Codex Exaltum and Codex Infernum

    Are they D&Dified for their individual entry lore or are they full on an existing non rpg lore such as biblical references?

    D&D 5E (2024) Ed Greenwood to Publish 4 New Forgotten Realms Sourcebooks in 2026

    From what is posted I am not sure he is actually writing them, it looks like he will be working with a team that is doing the writing or most of the writing. On the linked patreon post the closest it said was "The writing team features both familiar Realms voices who have authored many tomes in...

    D&D 5E (2024) Orc lore in the new Forgotten Realms books?

    I think it is just the MM, the 14 PH mentions humans explicitly in the half orc entry but not other races. "Whether united under the leadership of a mighty warlock or having fought to a standstill after years of conflict, orc and human tribes sometimes form alliances, joining forces into a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Orc lore in the new Forgotten Realms books?

    As a PC race it has been half-human from 1e to 5e. In the 1e MM it talks about half-orcs of other species specifically: Half-Orcs: As orcs will breed with anything, there are any number of unsavory mongrels with orcish blood, particularly orc-goblins, orc-hobgoblins, and orc-humans. Orcs...

    D&D 5E (2024) Orc lore in the new Forgotten Realms books?

    Have they? I thought they were planning to do so in the 24 PH and make it an official option but then backed off from doing so and just did not address the issue at all. Has there been anything saying they are actually taking that position? From statements people have said about half elves and...
