So far as I can tell, there’s slim to none use of Hawaii or Polynesia as RPG settings. Watching Jason Mamoa’s “Chief of War” on Apple TV, I think that’s a shame. All I can find is Razor Coast, which seems to pirates but with a hint of Hawaiian content, and this one apparently indy publication...

Who do you think the patrons in the picture are? The barman, the guy with eyepatch, the server, and the distant server in back are NPC's described in detail in the module, and the OAR version, and the 2003 video game version. The patrons are not described - other than generally a mix of...

Back in the day (1997 or 1998, around the TSR bankruptcy), I was vaguely aware this product existed. Apparently it’s a large island that can be a campaign or a part of a larger setting, where a society of barbarian invaders fight a society of necromancers. Anyone use it? Any opinions on it...

I’ve decided the inn the PC’s are going to stay at has Spy v. Spy drama for the PC’s to discover or perhaps be victims of. The spies are operating independently and may or may not have discovered each other’s work. They may be opposite goals or just different. The inn is in Thornward, Bissel...

So far as I can tell, no RPG or setting materials based on “Willow” - the 1980’s movie and 2022 Disney+ series that was canceled after season 1. I’m fond of Willow, so I wonder if I missed something?

In my campaign, a group of 3 player characters is allied with a group of 5 Cloud Giants. Long story, they’ve all been through some stuff. Arriving back at civilization, in the form of a walled feudal village on a river island, the Cloud Giant Chieftain asked the PC’s to buy food from the...

If you have a Greyhawk campaign, do you have continents other than Oerik and Hepmonaland? (I’m not asking about western Oerik, which has a lot lol Greyhawk discussion already.) Do you use New Empyrea/Aquaria? Or Fireland? Anything like that? FYI, I just learned that Frank Mentzer was...

In the Temple of Elemental Evil, Prince Thrommel has been kidnapped for years and is hidden in the guise of a Vampire in a coffin. In a secret room behind a secret chapel to Pholtus. Who done it? Someone on Facebook pointed out Gygax later said the Scarlet Brotherhood did it for Nyrond. Who...

Posting this in "D&D Older Editions" for those who know Greyhawk.

A player in my 3.5e campaign is becoming a 3.5e DM himself. He told me he’s getting “free” 3e splatbooks, like the Mininatures book, from two websites. I assume this is NOT some real, legitimate release by WotC? Or did they eventually free release several 3e era books? Since I don’t see...

Has anyone put together character sheets for the Honor Among Thieves characters? I assume so and I just missed it?

Eventually, I plan to have my players interview a number of NPC’s in Saltmarsh, to hire a crew for a caravel sailing for the Isle of Dread. Saltmarsh: the iconic seaside fishing and smuggling town where the AD&D U series “Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh“ begins, as detailed in DMG2 for 3.5e and...

Two friends and I have played a bit of Solasta: Crown of the Magister on Xbox. My friends aren't D&D people, and I told them it was pretty close to a D&D 5e game. I kinda think it makes D&D look bad. I could tolerate the long cut scenes and the railroad plot (we're 2nd level, so on rails is...

It’d kinda awesome if the OGL1.1 debacle led to a Renaissance of OGL 1.0/3e. Just sayin’.

So what do we, the Older Edition community, think of One D&D? My initial thoughts on a new edition are: Please don’t. With the exception of 3 & 5, the number of players in new editions has been smaller than the edition before - 50/50 chance that it hurts the long term prospects for the game...

Like the FR question, but for any settings. Played in any edition, including PF, etc.

A medium-sized character is engaged in melee with a medium-sized monster in a dungeon. Another medium-sized character directly behind the first character - and 20 ft. back - fires an arrow. Is the penalty to hit essentially -8? -4 on attack roll for firing into melee without Precise Shot feat...

Resist Energy or Protection from Energy have Target = One Creature. Do Objects held by that character also gain the protection? Specifically, if you have Protection from Energy: Fire on a character, and the character strikes a Magmin with a weapon, does the weapon somehow gain in the Fortitude...
