    D&D 5E (2024) There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen: Snarf's Guide to Using (and adjudicating) Skills in 5e

    My first gut instinct is always to go with the narrative character concept first and the character sheet stats second. So the PC Klingon culture Orcish barbarian secretary in my Carrion Crown campaign stopped anyone from seeing her professor during work hours without an appointment. "You do...

    The modules are mostly set in Gaz1 The Grand Duchy of Karameikos which is the most medieval European fantasy area of the Known World.

    D&D General Kingdoms of Kalamar vs Greyhawk? And any good modules?

    I only own Harvest of Darkness and one other Kalamar module but Harvest was the only one I read start to finish. I was always intrigued by their Coin Trilogy of modules though. That starts off with The Root of All Evil which is for 1st level characters. They have maybe 10 modules in the 3e...

    D&D General Kingdoms of Kalamar vs Greyhawk? And any good modules?

    I would say it is a bunch like 1e (boxed set) or 3e (LGG) Greyhawk, very grounded, ethnicities and kingdoms are important, has a ton of detailed gods (about fifty in the big gods book), and it takes things like natural geography even more seriously so all the rivers go out to seas from high...

    Worlds of Design: There's a War On!

    I set my various campaigns in the midst of a theocratic succession war within the giant Holy Lothian Empire in my mashup campaign setting. This allows me to have advantages from both a points of light type setting and a lore heavy big civilization setting. Since many power players are drawn...

    Which are you, The plan everything out GM, or the Ad lib?

    While I normally run modules in my fairly heavily prepped mashup campaign setting, I have done a complete improv game once years ago and it went well. I had agreed to run a game for the kid of a pair of my friends who were hosting us for Thanksgiving. The kid was the same age as my son (who had...

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    D&D is mostly not about canons though so boarding actions often can fit really well with normal D&D. The big issue I would say is you often have casters with fireballs a few times as you close from a few individuals on perhaps both sides, while archers do their thing as well before you get the...
