One would expect a push when the video game finally comes out.

Has anyone used Shadowdark to run Expedition to Barrier Peaks? If so, tell me about that.

What is your 100 words or less summary of Questworlds?

As a companion to the threead about non-D&D dungeon campaigns, I figured I would ask which D&D or D&D adjacent game (general) you would use for a dungeon centric campaign. That might be megadungeon exploration, a campaign full of 5 room dungeons, or anything in between. For this discussion, all...

That looks interesting. I am not a huge fan of the tarot card bit, but I would love to find a dungeon game that was more about the crawl than the combat.

Is there a quickstart for TB2E? I found a free introductory adventure, but it does not seem to have the rules of play included.

Yeah, the Without Numbers games are superficially "OSR" ish, but I do think they count as very different from D&D-likes.

I am not forgetting them. I am not counting them. Those books have FR info in them, but they aren't FR books as their primary purpose. Just because FR is the default setting of 5E does not mean everything counts as a setting guide.

Sure. But they aren't "Forgotten Realms Books."

I bet you could do a pretty good dungeon focused campaign with the Alien iteration of the Year Zero Engine.

I really dislike this misconception. Avernus is NOT a BG3 tie in adventure.

I wonder if there is any chance they would do a Psionics book, and include DS as the "example psionic focused campaign" in that book.

Is your take that they keep making Eberron because no one actually likes it? I don't know what you are trying to say here beyond that you, personally, don't care for it.

Flag on the play.

Just chatting: Whether it is a game about going from dungeon to dungeon in search of the 13 Shards of Whatsit, or a sandbox megadungeon exploration: what non-D&D RPG (this includes official, retroclones, OSR and clear derivatives like Shadowdark) would you use for this purpose? Why? What tools...

WotC: Here's Adventurlandia! Our fist officical setting in decades! Full of the awesomesauce you crave! "Fans": Boo! Where is Jakandor!?! WotC: We heard you! Coming next year: Jakandor 5E! "Fans": NOT MY JAKANDOR!

There are people who will be really happy if Dark Sun happens. There will also be a lot of people that will be really unhappy with whatever WotC does with it. I just wish they would do something NEW.

I am more interested in the mechanics of how to do such a thing well at the table so that it is engaging and dramatic and tense.

or just mapping the wild for the sake of knowledge. Or climbinga mountain, to say you did. Or discovering a more efficient passage from one side of the continent to another. or surveying a new land. There are lots of ways to imagine this without kicking the colonial hornets nest that will...
