    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Pitching the Reboot

    Actually a book on the personalities of Greyhawk would be a fascinating read.

    Space: 1999 Coming From Modiphius

    We had the passenger pod. But I think the head was gray or white?

    Space: 1999 Coming From Modiphius

    We had the Corgi Eagle. Lots of fun playing with it and crashing it just like in the opening credits. 😂

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Pitching the Reboot

    I don’t mind adventures set in Greyhawk, would actually love to see them. I just hope that if they do region books that they take the same sort approach they are taking as the DMG. Tools to get things rolling with perhaps some sample adventures in the region. And zero emphasis on canon.

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Pitching the Reboot

    If they present a light framework for a region and some starting considerations, they could then devote the rest of the book to tools for helping DMs flesh things out in their own way, maybe provide some adventure hooks for a campaign there. The tI st of this will be whether fans will demand...

    Space: 1999 Coming From Modiphius

    I could see a UFO RPG as well. So 60s!

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Pitching the Reboot

    I foresee a Greyhawk 5e24 book coming out, but rather than being yet another set of detailed splatbooks on the world, I see it as more of a guidebook to GMs looking to develop their own version of Greyhawk. It'll give ideas and campaign and adventure seeds to riff off, and perhaps some...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Maybe because it's the title and subject of the whole thread? Maybe you should consider opening a new thread on Tiamat's origins? It's pretty easy to do.

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Pitching the Reboot

    You seem to be completely missing the point that Greyhawk was meant as a world for players to develop into their own unique version. It is intentionally "left alone" so that it doesn't step on the players imagination to roll their own Greyhawk.

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk: Pitching the Reboot

    Rare is a good way to put it. Magic is not visible in daily life, but the few who know it, can do powerful stuff. Instances of magic visible in the general world would be rare as well, confined to ruins or underground, or very specialized places. You're not going to see a magical fountain of...

    Pitch me the current RuneQuest

    As long as we're talking new books for Glorantha, and the ongoing (great) series of Cult books, I would love to see a series of Region books start to make their way out. Each book would have a geography and cities of the area (fold out map?), cultures and peoples, cults, points of interest...

    Pitch me the current RuneQuest

    The key to running RuneQuest is to focus on adventures. There's a LOT of background lore, but don't get too caught up in it and just focus on a straightforward adventure like you would any other game, then slowly start to sprinkle in some of the lore bits and strangeness that is Glorantha. I'd...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    They have such a good battle strategy and buffed stats that they made short work of the party before any gas was needed. That might have been the “if the slavelords are losing section.” I’ll have to look at it again but It might have been better just to skip straight to the gas.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Well, we're 140 pages in, and the topic has meandered a bit. ;)

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Even as written, they could have had the room filled with gas to knock out the entire party rather than have buff bosses beat the party into submission. I enjoyed the tough battle though, and I do recall it was the first time the players "lost" a fight and had to reassure them they were not all...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Losing all gear, getting drained a level (undead) were big hotspots back then. We had a player who had his memory completely wiped by a Mind Flayer at one point. The way we handled it was doing a time forward (multiple years), where the other characters worked on their holds and the wiped...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Even back in our 1e days, I don't think we ever got to the point where there was a total "players vs DM" mentality. I tried to be tough but fair, and we didn't see a lot of "gotcha moves" on either the player or GM side of the screen. I will admit I might have been harder on some players if they...

    D&D General On Early D&D and Problematic Faves: How to Grapple with the Sins of the Past

    It would also require the primary goal of journalism to be reporting facts over opinion and over amassing revenue for the parent media outlet.

    D&D General On Early D&D and Problematic Faves: How to Grapple with the Sins of the Past

    I think we're only now starting to see skepticism over claims in all forms of media. It's taken a firehose of dis/misinformation over the past 6 years to do it, but people are starting to ask for more forms of confirmation before accepting the first report out of Twitter or CNN or Fox or YouTube.
