::casts raise thread:: Rather that start a new thread or bog down the excellent review thread, I figured I would necro this one. So, speaking of experiences: how much work is Drakkenheim to run? Is the book laid out well so you can find what you need? Does it require a lot of prep? I am...

That's interesting: does something like the new version of TW2000 count as a "new edition" or a "new game"? Like, is Shadowrun Anarchy a "new edition" of Shadowrun?

What Star Wars show would you greenlight? I kind of want a Knights of the old Republic series based on the Dark Horse Comics from many years ago. But what I really want is a retcon: The Fall of Skywalker/Rise of Vader. I want to see Anakin hunting down Jedi and getting slowly replaced by...

As an aside: I did not know Amazon was selling keys to Beyond content. That's interesting. Is Tyranny as bad as some folks say? That's a good price for a big fat module.

TTRPGs get new editions on a regular basis, and often times those new editions have significant changes. When this works, awesome! But when it doesn't, it can be frustrating (especially since a new edition usually means the old edition is no longer going to be supported). For you personally...

We don't know what WotC has planned for the year, but I would be very surprised if they abandoned the campaign length adventure. Don't get me wrong, i wish they would. I think a more interesting structure would be the Tier length adventure: 1-5, 6-10, aa-15 and 15-20, that you mix and match or...

Ran a short introductory/test session of Marvel multiverse tonight. We got a late start because of Demiplane/Roll20 integration issues for one player, but once we got that settled were were able to play. The PCs were the FF and Giganto had erupted from the city streets. We made some skill...

"Anakin, you were my brother!" Narrator: And now HR was involved.

If the campaign modules were meant to be, well, modular, why do you think they would not make mention of this anywhere in the text of the modules?

Except I am not the neophyte GM that needs to be told this explicitly. Of course experienced GMs can pull stuff out of these books they like. But that is NOT the same thing as saying it is intended to be used that way. If it were, there would be explicit advice at the beginnig of every chapter...

Every time I see this claim I am flabergasted. NONE of the campaign modules tell the users to divide it up into different modules. They are ALL meant to be played front to back. This claim is just not true.

They should do one of these for each tier. You start in Phandelver. At 5th you move to 10 towns. At 10th you are off to the Aether Sea and when you hit 15th you land in Sigil!

There is no functional difference. Both are intended to be the whole campaign.

Yes, you are quite special ...

I think there is some rethinking of the schedule going on. Otherwise they would have said something about 2026 by now.

Yeah, excellent series (like most of Gaiman's work). Why does everyone who makes cool stuff always end up sucking as a person?

I feel like incorproating deck building systems into the RPG mechanics might allow for something that feels at least a little like that vicious chaos of a dungeon crawler. That way you would not have to count cool down or whatever. When the card comes back up (redrawing your hand is...

Oh jeez

Oh no, not SUBTRACTION!?!!?

FWIW I think this is largely a stereotype forged online, one that usually does not prove true IRL.
