    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    I agree. Daggerheart was always to hopefully be DP's big, multi-book release. Candela is a rules light game that I don't think they ever had huge plans for. Nothing wrong with that.

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    Yes! I couldn't wait to bring Wyvern Songs to the table. It does delight and no sense of being weighed down. Hole in the Oak from Gavin Norman was the very first time a dungeon crawl excited me. I read it and was shocked that I couldn't wait to run it. I never liked Dungeon Crawls. Picked up...

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    The richest gameplay we've been seeing is coming from the OSR scene like Shadowdark's Cursed Scrolls, Gavin Norman and Brad Kerr, to name a few. Of course, there are some dull adventures in the OSR space, but overall, there's a lot of very imaginative ideas. I keep bringing this up, but we had...

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    You might like adventures that Joseph R. Lewis writes. He takes great care to be succinct but have some flavour text. He puts a lot of thought into layout, writing and design.

    [Old school] I can't deal with inventory

    I like simple inventory systems that matter. We can drop these extra torches to pick up more loot. It'll be fine, right? I don't like long lists where I'm expected to keep track of all the weights and calculate carrying capacity. It's especially annoying if you do all that and then it all gets...

    D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

    Shadowdark, OSE and Nimble are my picks for any kind of dungeon crawling.

    What Non-D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign

    His Majesty the Worm is all about Dungeon play and has an excellent card based resolution system. Very unique.

    Worlds of Design: From Zero to Hero

    I don't have a particular preference. I happily play both extremes and everything in between, depending on game and genre.

    Other D&D Variant What is your favorite version of D&D offshoot/D20 fantasy today? Tell us why it is the best!

    I have a lot of fun running Nimble too. I love the fact that the Boss/Solo monsters can actually threaten a group. Having them take a turn after every player turn solves the problem of Big Bads needing a lot of henchmen and legendary reactions. They're fun, easy to run and scary.

    D&D General Tales from Woodcreek Session 0

    This has been a lot of fun so far. I love the delight the players are demonstrating as they play. Deborah Anne Woll is loving every minute and has such infectious enthusiasm. Also appreciating the much shorter run times. I struggle with Live Plays, even well done ones like CR. Tales From...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    I'm assuming '24 is doing really well. The suits might have been unrealistically expecting a bigger splash, if they gave D&D much thought at all. This might be the reason for the spin.

    What is your favourite character type, (prof, class etc) And why?

    I play a wide variety. Not overly fond of Barbarians, but a character I made insisted she was a storm Barbarian, so I had a Barbarian for a while. I think I lean a little toward druids. In terms of ancestries, I play a mix too. Have a soft spot for frog people. I had a grippli wizard in...

    Shadowdark Finally Played Shadowdark

    I really enjoy "roll to cast," even if it can get frustrating at times! On the other hand, there are sessions where the caster can't fail and that's fun. My seer went many sessions never failing her spellcast rolls, and then the other shoe dropped. Story wise, it really felt like she got cocky...
