Eh, don't know why they just didn't go with Caltrops. As for the Ale prices, this place is on the Borderlands, so perhaps its more expensive here. It's not cheap to get this stuff into the Keep safely with all the banditry around or it being "confiscated" by the guards upon arrival!

Both. As @Edgar Ironpelt states, there might be some important to the formation of the world (such as in my "Dragons Must Die" campaign), or may come as custom creations borne out of play or just wanting something that fits the world (Like the Maughtley - dwarves who became minotaurs due to...

Just went and played with it - I definitely like the looks of it. Also, so glad it has a dark mode off the bat! If you don't mind, a few screen shots from a test character (using 2014 rules)...

I watched an in-depth unboxing that even went over the contents of the module (include differences with the original). You could scrap the premades and character "placemats" and it would still work - it would just then have components that I'd wished I had back in 198X with battlemats and...

I would be curious on that. HeroQuest made $3,707,249 gross alone on preorders - that's nothing to sneeze at, not counting after sales or add-ons. At the mythic tier, that would have been at least 24,719 copies. Heroes of the Borderlands would have to sell 74,144 copies to match the dollar...

Funny statement, considering Hasbro is currently selling Heroquest and its supplements...

I'm fond of B4 - The Lost City. Goodman Games treatment for 5E is really good as it not only includes the original B/X version, it expands and fills in the unfinished areas as well. From my understanding, it is a mini-campaign based on Robert E. Howard's Red Nails Conan story.

Nah, needs to be Isle of Dread, showing how to do a hexcrawl-style expansion that is exploration driven instead of set-encounter play.

Odd, I thought they'd already done this dragon. And agreed on the Green - I'd love it if Wizkids did a "retro" Lockwood Gargantuan Green Dragon (with battlemat and miniature's card, no less).

Well, I went a two-way path. You could go the Druidic path and get spells or the Martial path and get combat maneuvers akin to the Battlemaster subclass, with special maneuvers themed towards certain enemy types (and did enhanced damage to specific enemies). This is an example maneuver...

A mix, and a lot of cases of published world with modified adventures, or homebrew world with published adventures. I use published worlds on occasion because some people are more familiar with those worlds, and for a while I was a bit ashamed how "kitchen sink" my homebrew world was. But...

Ran a pirates game in Greyhawk during 3E. The party started upriver on the Selincan River where they booked passage on a boat, trying to eventually get to the Amedio Jungle - they had a treasure map to an old pirate's cache. They ended up taking control of the boat and coaxed into taking up...

I stopped using random encounters sometime back in 3E. What I use now are "consequences" encounters. In dungeons, since I generally know what creatures are in each room, a general idea of routes they might take from area to area and any patrolling they might do, if the party encounters...

I am absolutely shocked Human is in the lead. I didn't think so many people would want to play human characters in a fantasy game if given the choice.

In a black whirlpool at the center of the bleak, churning waters of the flooded level is the Aboleth* Ghyrtnovan. The water cultists summoned him, seeking knowledge and power to defeat the Earth cultists. Though the water cultists were careful to bind it, Ghyrnovan proved too cunning. It...
