Wisdom save. Sorry, I played a lot of Pathfinder before coming back to D&D.

I remember 2nd edition had a morale score for monsters but I don't think I've ever seen that since. In my case I either decide for myself or if needs be make it a Will save to see if they run.

The modern versions of the game have to cover opportunities for all potential game styles and that is why it might feel out of touch. All the way back to 1st edition my games have always been more storytelling but without the excessive role-play. Locally we have a group that meets at my FLGS and...

Umber Hulk is in the new book.

I found the list on the D&D Beyond site, where you can search for just MM 2024

Gem Dragons and Eye of the Deep (Aquatic Beholder). The main classics otherwise appear to be there. Hopefully we'll get more books later to fill in other lost classic monsters. Personally I'm not all the fussed by the "class" types... cultist, acolyte cleric...etc. Ditch those and put more...

Try it now. I put the URL in the wrong bit. Facepalm

If you want something for D&D5, I bought the PDF of this a few months back and they have a sequel due to go up on Kickstarter in March. Dr Dhrolin's Dictionary of Dinosaurs

Agreed. Not all their adventure paths were up to standard. A couple were truly bad for things like that. There was one I played (something of fire?) that locked you in a demiplane for 3 or 4 levels with no way to buy or sell anything and it made everyone just gnash their teeth. Badly written was...

Paizo's adventure paths are not railroads but they are linear. Linear adventures/campaigns aren't bad as they still allow players to decide how they handle a situation and progress the story their table is telling.

The only edition that feels anything like 2nd edition was 1st edition and even then 2nd was better by a long way. Since then each edition has become it's own thing. If anything 5th feels like the offspring of 3rd and 4th but without the "bad" elements.

I have the three books released for the Primeval RPG (A dinosaur based time travel-ish British show from the mid-00's) and that would work well for a Jurassic Universe RPG. I've often considered doing so myself.

Call of Cthulhu 1920's. It all went wrong. Hospitalised.

From here on in, I'm with 5th 2024 for my fantasy games. I don't get to RPG as much as I used to so I'm sticking to the new edition.

I prefer the D20/Pathfinder version. The rules are simpler and easy to understand. No fiddly tables.

I will use monsters and combative NPC's according to their personalities and goals. However, in the middle of a fight I am unlikely to have an opponent strike down a unconscious PC without reason. Better to do that once the combat is over. It's intelligent and fairer for the player. An...

The ability to improvise quickly and seamlessly on the spot. For high level play this is a must have ability IMO.

I like it but feel it does need some tweaks.

My limited experience is this... if you use it for just 2014 or 2024 then it works fine. If you try and combine the two, it has occasional issues.

How would you adapt the lore/concept of the Scion of Three subclass to somewhere not FR? I'm just trying to think how it would work for my own homebrew setting and I'm hitting a dead end.
