Possible but, again, we just had one of those. It would feel weird if the first two adventures for 5.5 were high level when we essentially had one (DoMM) for 5.0.

Literally all that leaves is Hughie and MM. Which is fine.

Ok. I've never heard a convincing argument that 2d20 is actively bad. Some folks don't like it for... reasons. But I unapologetically roll my eyes when folks make an effort to complain about it.

The real question is does the virus get out? Do we lose the good guy supes?

Why? He was killed by a boat.

Those aren't licensed RPGs

People complain about roll under and metacurrency? There's no accounting for taste, do people that don't like 2d20 aren't wrong oer se, but i personally find a lot of the complaints to be unconvincing at best.

I think The Boys has been GREAT throughout it's run. But that has as much to do with the cast and pacing as specifics about "story." I would watch Karl Urban skin squirrels.

I am SHOCKED that you and I disagree on the fundamental value of foundational D&D inspirations. 😉

The more I think about this, the more I think Shadowdark would be a good choice.

Oh the humanity!

Here's an interesting idea: could you run a D&D campaign in a DoD without telling the players and have it be a slow reveal? Would that work? Would it be fun?

I am imagining things like small conflicts at a local level that don't amount in much XP, so that you have, say, 4 sessions before The Call To Adventure trumpets, just at the moment they are gaining level 2. I was a big fan of the Midkemia books when I was younger and those often did a really...

I mean to each their own, but the thing is it NEVER gets scary. it does not slow burn toward anything horrifying. At least IMO. Not like Color Out Of Space, which I think is legitimately disturbing, or Herbert West, which (while being blatantly, disgustingly racist) is actual horror.

I don't know a lot about Ravenloft beyond what is in the 5E setting book, since we never really played it back in the day, but I do like the idea of inscrutable forces ruling domains, with their whim and traumas shaping the very world the PCs are forced to live in.

I think if I were to start at level 1 for a new campaign, I would really stretch that level out -- use it to build the Starter Town and the relationships the characters have there, to emphasize the "normal life" of these characters BEFORE they become adventurers.

Have you ever tried to actually read At The Mountains Of Madness? It is a SLOG. Anyway, Lovecraft created a lot of interesting ideas, and others have made those ideas into good things sometimes, but his greatest contribution in vibes. We don't need yet another statblock for Cthulhu in D&D. We...

A force of nature? Foil? Obstacle? He is no more character than Moby Dick.

The Shadowdark monster mutation tables are a great place to start, regardless of the game system.

Does Cthulhu count as a character? I am not so sure.
