Short, older style adventure for 5e? I strongly recommend Winter's Daughter.

I like 5e how it is, maybe I borrow some rules, but I think it's unlikely I'll ever switch entirely to One D&D if it goes the way it's going. Not because it's bad, but because it's unexciting. It's just 5e but more unfamiliar and not really better.

I used to, but I found out that my creativity for titles runs out pretty quickly I'll post the list of titles of a previous campaign if I can find it.

Into the Odd, because it captures the exactly feeling I want to convey when the characters begin a adventure.

About dragonborns and tieflings: I agree with @Yora that fully returning to the Old Grey Box feeling is impossible without AD&D or an adjacent system (like OSE advanced). My personal reboot idea would not have the same feeling the OGB had, but the same density, as in a setting that you can...

The history of FR maps is quite convoluted. They change dimensions across editions, whole new regions are annexed from other planes and vanish some years later etc. I think the current Map of Faerûn by Mike Schley is the closest that we have from a "map without lore that won't cause plot holes"...

Everything is unique and takes practice and patience if you ask ChatGPT.

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion lately, but I actually like the Forgotten Realms setting. However, every time I start a campaign set in the Realms I see myself going back to the Old Grey Box. The amount of lore current FR has is overwhelming, and I think it would benefit from a reboot (soft or...

I had all three kinds of failed campaigns: "Failed to launch" campaigns are by far my largest collection. The vast majority failed because of scheduling issues, some because I couldn't make the necessary prep to kick-start the campaign, some because I had a "very good idea" but couldn't see how...

I don't think I can see Rowling's views as anything but pure and vile hate, but that's me. I agree JK don't deserve death threats, but I can't see how someone standing for a position that threatens the very existence of an already endangered group can come from a good place.

Asking for clarification: I know that moral correctness is subjective, but what do you mean by "concerning itself"? I wouldn't classify the example you gave, Mazfroth's Mighty Digressions, as "concerning itself with moral correctness". It says that killing everybody without dialogue is a...

I voted for something else: I like the houserule that when healed, downed PCs take 3d10 minutes to wake up. It makes getting to 0hp very dangerous during combat.

I'm not sure if it will be backwards compatible, but I'll say I hope not. 5e is great, and I love it, but it feels like it's constraining what they can do in this next edition. I want WotC game design team to build upon 5e foundation, but with leeway to create new things and revamp core...

What if weapon damage varied according to the target? Something like "spear: d6. 2d6 against mounted combatants" or "dagger: d6. 2d6 against if you are grappling the target, or if the target is grappling you" or even "axe: d6. 2d6 against trees and treelike beings" If somebody suggested this...

It's less about if they own elves, clerics and dwarves, and more about the wording and creative choices behind their iteration of these things. Sure you can just recreate a virtually equal elf, but it's easier to build a network of collaborative works around it if you have all the basics spelled...

It seems like the guys at Paizo are as confused as us:

It could be me, for some reason until now I thought it was spelled Jubilex.

(IANAL) What does it mean the "notice of deauthorization of OGL 1.0a" is in the new "Introduction to System Reference Document 5.1" and not in the OGL 1.2 draft? Is the OGL 1.0a deauthorized only for the SRD 5.1? What are they trying to do with this?

Good, but not good enough. They should release the whole SRD under CC-BY. Except the owlbear, they can keep their owlbear. Jokes aside, It's good news, but I think they can do better with this creative commons public stunt. Release a robust document, the four base classes, the four base races...

To me, it looks like their concern isn't a second Pathfinder, but a third party making a "D&D movie" or another non affiliated media content with stuff like "owlbears and magic missiles". They want to be a multimedia titan, and the old OGL was a barrier to that.
