    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Those well known D&D reactionaries Dungeon Dudes. Older video so no radiant Citadel. WotC just not very good at adventure writing. Long form anyway. I dont think thats a hot take. Dungeon of Drakkenheim guys. Outside ENworld bubble its not exactly a hot take either.

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Buy a product then have to put more work in. When basic idea of product (preconstructed adventures). Usual cheerleaders here *nothing WorC produces can be bas) but its not a well regarded product for a reason. To some extent Candlekeep, Infinite Staircase and Golden Vault all suffer from...

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Its not particularly interesting or developed as a home base. Tgats been done better in better adventures. Its very safe but that also means boring. They've got 20 archmages kicking about iirc for security Its to poorly detailed to rival Sigil. Utopia so kinda boring. A good DM coukd...

    The Citadel itself. The set ups kinda silly. The potentially interesting places to visit don't really stand out and youre not going to be there long enough to realky care. Im not really a big fan of once around the realm type adventures. Dragons Crown in Darksun is one exampke arguably HotDQ...

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    Its not 2019 anymore. Its just an overused strawman counter attack. Radiant Citadels not very good but its far from the worst offender. WoTCs production values tend to mask the mediocrity of most of their adventure product. Alot of that is longer form adventures are really hard to make and...

    Pathfinder 2E Do you think 1st or 2nd edition is more complicated?

    This. I didnt get Pathfinder 2 and it didn't interest me. PF1 you kinda went 4.0 to 3.5 to PF1. Being familiar helps alot. Late 2E to 3.0 wasnt huge step. Parachuting from early 2E to PF1 would be equivalent of 5E to PF2.

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    That's pretty much it. If you water down Darksun its not really Darksun or a very good version of it. Think of an R16 movie whose sequel is R13. Kinda defeats the appeal of the original.

    I own and read radiant Citadel. Its not very good. There's worse though adventure wise. HotDQ, OotA, Strixhaven possibly Candlekeep. Probably the few I haven't bought. A few mediocre ones are ok as sourcebooks eg PotA, DiA.

    Who's Dianna Jones? Mostly 3rd party types and a writing credit in a team effort book. Easy to miss. Don't use beyond. 3rd party may as well not exist and who read credits? I stopped buying 3rd party years ago. Had so much of it never used it.

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    Ive had Kreen Drool on PCs. And Halfling and Kreen eating "leftovers". They didn't hunt sentient but after battles...... Meats back on the menu.

    Taylor Navarro Joins Wizards of the Coast as D&D Designer

    They might read the books, I don't think many read the credits and could tell you who wrote what. Only reason I remember a lot of the older names was because they were on the cover of a book. Or they had multiple appearances in Dragon/Dungeon. Mearls tor example he is active here and...

    Youre aware those magazines had over 100k maybe 200k subscribers? Perkins and Mearls were both published in said magazines. More people were subscribed at the pesk than most rpgs lifetime sales lol These days no one reads the books apparently and if its 3rd party may as well be the moon for a...

    Spoilers Falllout season 2 discussion

    No idea. Theres 2 options for Hank to work with. Enclave remns is and Mr House. I'm leaning towards House. Vault Tecs functionally dead. Hanks gone rogue and Vault 31-33 have failed at least from preserving Vault Tec.

    Yeah I mostly blame WotC but its also hard to fo longer APs and higher level stuff. Ive got around 1000+ adventures. Good modern ones dont change the basic template last 30 odd years.
