Lorgalis is a BBEG. Even the dragonlords fear him. Arguably only Shrek and Ondoval are more powerful.

That's the sort of thing that you'd schedule a million years for moving a planet. That sort of falls into the astronomical event category.

Keep them coming!

What interest? It used to be that you paid for someone to hold on to your money.

Some things in RPGs are often very long-lived. What sort of very-long-term plans and efforts might they have? At one end, in Shadow World, Lorgalis has a tower continually built up over thousands of years by the secretions of snails; at the other, in Dune, the Bene Gesserit (granted that that's...

In Iron Crown's Shadow World there's a BBEG, Lorgalis, whose tower is continually fortified by snails that crawl over the surface. Over thousands of years it's become impressively thick and tough.

The god(dess) of the moon in question might have something to say about it. Likewise solar deities.

Good point; I've edited the title.

Studded leather is a real thing, but for wrapping polearms, and not as armour. What uses would you give it in today's game? I'm thinking that it might give a bonus or even Advantage vs Disarm at the cost of extra expense. 5E doesn't have a Sunder option, but additional resilience there seems...

It is well worth the visit. Pictures on a web-page can only show so much.

Bump! I was back at the Wallace Collection and found two more polearms with studded leather wrap:

There were a couple in Dungeon magazine. That's discounting the Adventure Paths.

I have a vague recollection of an adventure in Imagine, White Dwarf, or early Dragon called 'Down the plughole' or similar. The PCs are shrunk by a wizard and sent into his plumbing system.

I would change casters to be based on a short rest. @mpwylie made a chart here: https://www.enworld.org/threads/how-would-you-balance-this-modification-to-spellcasters.641458/page-4#post-7432652 Spellcasters recover 1 spell per spell level up to (Prof Bonus -1) on a Short Rest and 1 spell...

No film ever makes a profit. That's Hollywood law.

Those of a sufficient age should read Elliot Kay's short story Days of High Adventure. If you can find the original, so much the better. Neither are PG so I won't give a link, but it's centred around D&D, involves wizards good and evil and a dragon, and the hook is one that will appeal. And...

Your sample PC has better than average stats and better than average armour and a magic weapon and higher than average HP and has DR 3. So I'm not surprised that the CR is higher.

I'm afraid not. Sorry. I've just been looking through the index and nothing registered.

A tweak if I may: no noble would leave their signet ring as payment, so likely Desphina stole it. This plot sounds like a reverse of the background to an adventure in Dungeon where an evil archmage went into voluntary exile to raise an evil prince. It's totally awesome, BTW.
