Make it clear to the players from the outset that they'll be dealing with multiple waves of enemies with no opportunity to rest in between. They'll at least then know they need to ration their resources.

The issue with Dark Sun isn't that it portrays slavery as good. It's that it portrays it as a pervasive and more or less permanent cornerstone of every major civilization in the setting. The most common trope for starting a Dark Sun campaign is "we're slave gladiators." "It's a fantasy game...

At least they listened!

While destroying Athasspace was an idea included in an early draft of Light of Xaryxis, it wasn’t actually done in the published adventure. WotC owns the Dark Sun brand, so there is no danger of anyone else “having it.” They’re not gonna do anything with it, though. They’ve said previously...

There are a few mentions of Dark Sun in the 2014 PHB and a few in the 2014 DMG as well, and references have cropped up here and there in official products since then. I wouldn’t read anything into it. It’s mainly an acknowledgment that there is such a setting and you can do stuff with it in...

I’m pretty okay with this resolution. But man was it sloppy not to line these ducks up pre-launch. Or maybe, you know, just not to have done this particular project. But having made the mistakes they made, I am okay with this resolution. Not gonna fund this kickstarter or buy this product, but...

She won't!

I am a huge fan of Goodman Games and have bought several of their products, including previous Kickstarters. Love DCC. This is very discouraging and disappointing. I am particularly disturbed by the "it's time to build bridges" comment. Because it seems like the only particular "bridge" being...

Not to mention a fair amount of print-on-demand shorter adventures are also available. Yes, this board does skew that old. The young people mostly don't really use message boards; they use Discord and other stuff.

I think the main issue some folks are having might be an unwillingness to use PDF adventures from DMsGuild, DriveThru, and the many other available sources. There are actually MORE short-form and mid-form D&D adventures available for 5E than for any other edition, and that's been the case for...

How long are your sessions? I've run or played all of these official 5E campaigns: Lost Mine of Phandelver (many times) Curse of Strahd (3 times) Tomb of Annihilation Waterdeep: Dragon Heist Dragon of Icespire Peak Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden (3...

Seems likely. I backed the Thracia one last year.

I'm looking forward to Dragon Delves after seeing the preview pages, and I feel that in general the compilations of new adventures (Candlekeep Mysteries, Keys from the Golden Vault, Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel) have been among the strongest 5E books, so hopefully this continues that...

The thread assumes WotC/Hasbro folds completely and some sort of bankruptcy litigation fiasco ensues wherein the rights to the D&D brand are locked in legal limbo and nobody can effectively own/control/use them. That would necessarily mean DMsGuild shuts down. WotC doesn't own the site, but they...

It does look like they took it down when they added the dragon type preview pages. I had it saved:

Yeah, I don't dispute the first paragraph - I'd say it was a mix of people who genuinely felt the game was too different, and also people for whom the I guess vibe more than the game itself was too different. And yes when the list of "times WotC shot itself in the foot through the years" is...

I'm not sure what the effects of that loss will be, but it certainly wouldn't be reflected in Q1 2025. Any D&D stuff published in that quarter had those folks still working on it.

Assuming an alternate history that looks like this: 3.5 SRD and the OGL exist 4E exists but has a more liberal SRD that was in the OGL WotC still terminates Paizo's contract on the magazines ...then there would have still been Pathfinder, and it still would have competed very strongly against...

For one thing, in terms of WotC's goals, I think they wanted to not tank sales from between the time an upcoming new edition was announced (August 2022) and released (July 2024 - February 25). It would have been harder to sell 5E material released after August 2022 if it seemed like it would be...
