More pics from this week's adventure. More evil temple delving. Only had 3 players this week, which is very unusual. I cannot remember the last time I had less than 5 at the table. Our usual number is between 6 and 8. Next week, for example, I am pretty sure we will have 8 at the table. It...

I'll second Runequest. Skilled based. Setting is bronze age fantasy and you can play DUCKS! It has an awesome starter set you can get a lot of hours of play from.

Finally remembered to snap a pic after our initial combat on Sunday. Combat took place as the PCs were emerging from desecrated temple (last week's adventure) into the ruins of a jungle city. The Big Dinosaur has just been polymorphed into a toad!

I love high level play, but I sadly have to agree with the folks above. There is an amazing lack of decent high level adventures for 5e. I mostly write my own and occasionally convert old Dungeon magazine adventures.

A good cover does impact my buying decision - I may as well admit it. I like monster illustrations. I like color, but black and white is fine. Pretty much everything else in the book I like to have illustrations of the characters in game. If we use D&D as an example - I would like pictures of...

I would be fine with restrictions as part of a campaign. Personally, I am more of a kitchen sink type DM as far as races and classes go. I used to be more restrictive, but as I have gotten older I have realized that players are very comfortable with a Mos Eisley Cantina situation. This is...

For what it is worth: From Crawford in 2018:

It was all hands on deck to get ready for the gaming session this Sunday. I took an old Reaper Bones Rauthuros Demon that I had lost the head to and converted it into a 4-armed gargoyle. I also painted a regular Reaper gargoyle: I told my son, Keegan, that I needed a Herald of Graz'zt. He...

Yep - it works fine for the most part. Can have a slightly yellow tint, but I usually add a tint of color - so it is not much of an issue.

This is fantastic. I have to find way to get my air brush area going again! I agree on the purple claws. That color choice is my least favorite part of the piece. but that is a very minor nitpick. I love this dragon!

For smaller areas I have used two-part epoxy. I have always wanted to try that tissue technique - I'm anxious to see how it works for you.

Glad the tiles are working better for you! I have used them for years on my projects - everything from Hirst Arts to river tiles. I have several pieces over 10 years old and the tile has held up well. It is possible to warp it - a couple of my sewer pieces warped after I stacked them on a shelf...

One of my players accidentally caught sight of the larger Graz'zt monster card I had out for the session. It certainly earned a raised eyebrow from him.

I used to run more published stuff when I switched to 5e, but I have a player in my campaign that runs every WOTC published adventure and AL module. That leaves me almost entirely homebrew these last couple of years - although I do slip in some 3rd party adventures from time-to-time.

Dang it! I forgot to snap a pic today. Oh well, in the spirit of keeping things rolling here is one of my favorite set-ups to kick off a campaign -I give you the Yawning Portal I promise - no more cheating with old pics. I'll try my best to remember at our next gaming session.

Just a trio of models this time. First up is an old school GW orc. Next is an interesting model - hopefully the inspiration for a D&D adventure or at least an encounter. Not sure if she will be an ally or enemy. I am calling her Queen of the Sea for now. Finally a character model my son...

Really like the colors!

These look like some really fun tables! I will try to remember to snap a picture on Sunday of our game.

I kind of love this idea... I run a pretty big table though. We pride ourselves on fast paced combat. How much has it slowed you down? Do your players get frustrated by the rule?

I have only seen it at Adventure League. Nothing like what is in the OP, but folks frustrated by a build that is suboptimal and they view as weighing the party down. I think the nature of Adventure League lends itself to this cropping up more often.
