I just think using modules is infinitely more work than either prepping my own, or improv. I am willing to do it with short adventures and isolated locations, but I don't have the patience to try and use a big adventure, let alone a campaign length one.

Since (general) you are here, what does your prep actually look like (some of you have answered this already)? I tend to fill a single empty page in my campaign notebook with sketched out ideas based on what is happening next (I am running a sandbox game and I make sure to let the PCs decide...

Pretty much every service works this way. It kind of sucks, but it isn't unusual. Unless they actively took away things that were free before and made them into purchase-only elements (and maybe they did; I do not use HF) it just feels like a weird thing to get up in arms about. But, gamers do...

That seems a weird thing to be mad about. Just go with the better alternative. That is like being mad at Apple because Samsung phones exist (or vice versa).

I think high level adventures would sell better if they weren't SAVE THE WORLD adventures. You can do personal stakes at high level: gods, demons, dragons and other powerful entities still care about things beyond conquering the multiverse.

My personal opinion is that the Art is the most compelling part of DS and if Brom isn't back, what's the point?

I don't think.there is any indication it was ever anywhere on their radar. The oy reason we are seeing the BG3 characters in the FR books "DLC" is WotC was completely caught off guard by the game's success.

That may be true, but so does making a Spelljammer or Planescape book, and WotC did that. Even more niche is Dark Sun, which seems inevitable. "not everyone likes it" in relation to high level material falls apart a bit in light of niche settings and adventures.

I'm trying to figure out why new features costing additional money is a bad thing.

Lots of people make high level play seem more daunting than it is. I think part of it is 3.x trauma, which is valid, but high level 5e is not nearly that hard. Just do it. Play high level. When you run into stumbling blocks, find or create solutions.

Why there isn't a BG3 module, I will never know.

Typically speaking, how much time do you prep for any given unit of time you actually play? For example, when I run convention games, I typically prep for an hour to effectively run a 4 hour game slot. it is less (half an hour) if I am running something a little lighter like Shadowdark, and a...

Great introductory DMG> I am not sure how "great" it is for utility after you have run a few sessions. I don't like the layout or organization at all. I wish they had not a Phandelver level Starter Set and put all that intro DM stuff there (and made that material available for free on beyond)...

I did this to good effect for a high level, god-hunting D&D game for a convention. I tweaked the formula a little each session and finally landed on a pretty good solution. There is a thread around here somewhere.

This is a good question. What is the point of these languages? Outside of simulation purposes, what do they add to the game?

The format has or is soon changing as well: big fat quartly hardcover instead of monthly softcovers.

A couple players from my steampunk/aetherpunk supers convention campaign Carole me into running a monthly game of it. The Arcanopolis Knights Live!

For clarity, I did not mean reducing the number of levels. I meant eliminating or replacing low level.abilities with higher level ones as you level, so the total number of things the players have to juggle remains manageable.

I have considered this a number of times for a convention campaign, but have yet to pull the trigger.

You said I was just responding to that. We all know Eberron is not coming to Daggerheart.
