I'm looking through the Heroes book first but will get to Adventures when I can Spellfire spells are 50/50 Evocation and Abjuration

Goliaths enclaves found in Chult, Anauroch, and The North some live near and/or with communities of giants. Likely to be the same type of goliath as the giants are (cloud, fire, frost, etc). Influenced by giants' beliefs & serve as intermediaries/ambassadors for giants & smaller folk Peaceful...

I'm now able to access them on DNDBeyond. Reading through Heroes book now; AMA.

I don’t 100% buy this as a budget issue. Games with lower budgets than Solasta 2 (Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, Skald: Against the Black Priory, etc.) have much stronger writing even though they’re very linear. I’m not expecting romances or sandbox play. Just dialogue that reads...

I enjoyed NWN2's story (well, except the ending) but the camera in that game is a nightmare. NWN1's original campaign is very poor. I cheerfully completed the (endearingly goofy) base campaign for Solasta but don't think I ever got past act one of NWN1 (take a drink every time an NPC says "The...

I've played a bunch of stuff that is D&D-adjacent enough that I wouldn't count it as a different game. I've played about 30 hours of The Expanse RPG and Fantasy AGE, which are definitely their own thing.

Easily more than 200 hours D&D alone in the past 12 months. That's a p conservative estimate.

Beadle & Grimm's actual play series Faster, Purple Worm, Kill Kill is on Amazon Prime.

A couple of the early Beadle & Grimm boxes did include codes for the DNDBeyond versions of adventures, but I don't think that's been the case for recent releases.

It does seem pricey, but honestly to get that many color maps of that size printed, it’s pretty much going to cost that much.

Mild spoilers:

Having now read all 4, the level 1 is probably the strongest adventure of the set.

The art definitely doesn’t look like very early D&D art from the 70s, but it definitely looks like early-to-mid-80s D&D art.

It’s definitely shooting for all of the above. It does not assume you have ever played before, and there is a 32-page rule book akin to what’s included in previous starter sets, but for 2024 rules. The conceit is that Eddie has prepared this box and the included adventures for you to take over...

I received this yesterday; happy to answer questions about it.

Did the original not have a climax (genuinely asking; I've never read it)?

Well, I'm ridiculous so naturally I've got both. I mean, none of my choices are defensible. I'm just making observations now that I own another thing I compulsively bought. The "problem" (if there is one) I guess is that the adventure without the toys (ie the digital version) isn't much of an...

That's neither here nor there as far as the actual point I was making, to be honest.

I'm aware. I guess I'm speaking to anyone who might not be. Arman has said that part of the reason they went with Keep on the Borderlands was, of course, to capture the nostalgia audience. This suggests that in addition to boardgame players (who, yes, are the primary intended target) they're...

Okay, but when I play Clue (Cluedo, for Brits), they give me a little golf pencil in the box so I can mark off that it wasn't Professor Plum in the Library with the Candlestick. It's not like NO board games involve pencils.
