Wheel of Time if you haven’t already. Unless it’s not your cup of tea. The Witcher Books are excellent. It’s not fantasy fiction but I really enjoyed listening to Malcolm Gladwell’s books on audible. Very thought provoking and reveal a bit about the human condition.

So IM is heavily streamlined WFRP 4e in space. All the rough edges filed off so easy to start. Total flexibility. Quite neat. Core Rule Book : Essentials has 90% of what you neef Starter Set: Similar to other C7 starter sets. Slim down rules + setting + introductory adventure Macharian...

Do you remember the two Shakespeare modules from Dungeon Magazine for AD&D. Macbeth and King Lear IIRC

I’ve played most of both, as I know you have, and it’s a hard disagree here. But a lot is down to personal preference. I don’t expect everyone to like WotC adventures. So much comes down to aesthetic and style. Just offering a counterpoint to the negging on some great Adventure books.

It’s redundant. If someone gives you a route map for a 10 miles walk. You don’t need a note to say you are allowed to walk one leg of it. It’s pretty strange that you are saying other people don’t know something that you have just said you do know… without being told.

I find it best not to assume my fellow DMs are dumber than me. People are more resourceful than you think.

Paizo APs generally start well but collapse under the weight of the rules and bloat at around part 4. The first two parts are always amazing and then they tend to go down hill, It’s why I’m very glad the Wizards books keep to a tighter more manageable range

We shouldn’t need written permission to do things that are patently obvious. I’m flabbergasted that you can’t imagine them being butchered for parts. Every single campaign book from Hoard to Vecna is made up of chapters that for the most part stand on their own two feet. If you are incapable...

It drives me potty. New DMs can and do just pick these books up and run with them because they aren’t expecting them to be Shakespearean works of art. They’re just learning the rules and having fun. Linked encounters around a theme that give some structure to sessions and instead of having to...

I can’t disagree more with this take. Firstly the Campaign books are living examples of how a 1-10 (14) campaign can run. The themes are strong. They inspire me far more than individual adventures do. Tomb of Annihiltion really makes me want to run a jungle campaign. Rime an icy wasteland...

I use rules as written pretty much universally. But where there is ambiguity, even a little, then I’m comfortable ruling in a way that fits our style of play.

Love this! Can’t wait to see how this progresses! I love the underdark and have long wanted to tie it in with other underdark adventures. But I’m loving this as it is.

I was a player in 1-3, and abridged versions of 5 and 6 of Carrion Crown and thoroughly enjoyed them. Very evocative. Would make an amazing framework for a Ravenloft campaign. Maybe enhanced by the various Van Richten Guides from 2nd Edition. I think when converting to 5e the best thing is to...

4-5% is about right for Uk to be honest

Started Peaky Blinders. Never watched it before, which is ironic considering I live 20 miles from where it is set.

Also worth remembering that inflation is a thing and in the absence of other cost savings like technology or cutting payroll, you have to pass costs onto the consumer or ultimately go out of business.

Love a mash up. Currently just finished a mash up of Keys from the Golden Vault and the Alexandrian remix of Waterdeep Dragonheist with 50% of Paizo’s Curse of the Crimson Throne thrown in. Liked it so much I'm planning on running it again with a different group.

It was touch and go. The lord of feasts is a pretty darn good archer and can make two attacks that would have spelled doom! One reduces speed to 0 and the other paralyzes. Either would have seen the death of three of the four PCs but luck prevailed.

If the plaintiffs can make a successful case that WoTC are breaching fiduciary responsibility when they make more sales then I will be very surprised. Requires a lot of assumptions that I just can’t see being proven.

Sorry did I see that wrong or is his he man costume hot pants and a gym skirt?
