I mean, Gunn runs the movie DC universe at this point, so you are probably out of luck. I will be very interested to know what the Corps actually is in this thing. Superman did not tell us anything, really -- it just gave us Guy as a member of the Justice Gang. It suggests that the Corps is...

The nefelsheen is an appropriate boss for 11th level characters (I just used one recently) so my guess is the adventure tops out there abouts.

I don't think there is really a standard definition. I call Lord of the Rings high magic because despite it being rare from the perspective of the protagonists, it is powerful. Demigods fight in the depth while armies of tree people assault impossible wizard towers , even as wraiths fly into...

Why not this thread? It's obviously relevant.

Was Planescape or Spelljammer or Dragonlance a "big adventure?" My point is the definition has certainly shifted. That the Thay adventure is not a $60 adventure doesn't mean that it isn't THIS YEAR'S "big adventure."

I don't think it will be low level. I think it will be Tier 2 because it's purported length suggests a single Tier, we just had a high level campaign adventure, and Tier 2 is by far the most popular and playable Tier.

Dark.Sun may still happen this year, but a reissue old DL1-14? Pure fantasy.

How many pages would it have to be to be a "big adventure"? How many levels? How many discrete zones or bad guys? Is your only metric what has come before, or do you have some sort of broad definition?

I can run a 3rd level.adventure in the Abyss. There's no inherent connection between setting and level. And "high magic" doesn't indicate power -- it indicates ubiquity.

I HATE the idea that "adventure" has morphed into meaning 12 or 14 level campaign. Yuck.

Well, it is not likely a full campaign, but that doesn't make it "half an adventure."

I think CR 3 is a good top level difficulty for level 1 characters, but it is not cut and dry. The big thing about level 1 characters is their squishiness. So a CR 3 that hits very hard with one attack is more likely to cause a TPK than one that has a few weaker attacks to spread around. Level 1...

Man, every once in a while you get a real serious reminder that D&D was made by boomers.

The only ongoing backward compatibility. You aren't intended to use the 5.0 rules forever, just the adventures.

I wonder if they have survey or Beyond use data that given them insight into where folks are primarily playing their 2024 campaigns, level wise. By that I mean, I wonder ifo whatever the level range ends up being will be targeted and intentional.

I would guess some portion of the viewership is turned off by the crude humor (not saying that is the case with you). But otherwise I think it is pretty strong overall.

On the subject of how many options is a good number of options, especially as it relates to "system options" in any given situration (tactical versus social, or whatever): I feel like most people can juggle 4 or 5 things n their head without getting lost in the weeds. If the rules for these...

::reads thread title:: There is a joke about half dragons in here somewhere.

I, too, enjoy alcohol to excess sometimes.

The point is that is is not, and probably cannot be, simply "OR." There must almost certainly be a tendency for any given game system. What I am curious about is where folks prefer to sit between those poles, and why.
