The Gauntlet's Fear of a Black Dragon takes a look at (mostly) TSR-era and OSR adventures, analyzes how they play, and then pivots to deeper discussion on GMing a particular facet of that adventure.

Behold! The latest Hydra Cooperative product (and certainly the one with the longest title): Mortzengersturm, the Mad Manticore of the Prismatic Peak! This adventure for D&D 5e, set in the Land of Azurth, pits the PCs against the wizard-turned-manticore Mortzengersturm, as they seek to purloin...

Jason "Dungeon Dozen" Sholtis and the Hydra Cooperative are pleased to announce the Kickstarter for OPERATION UNFATHOMABLE! Jason is expanding his critically acclaimed adventure from Knockspell #5, honed through hundreds of hours of playtesting, into a full-fledged mini-campaign! In addition to...

I was active on EnWorld several years ago, but dropped off for a while. (I understand that there was a major site crash or something in the intervening time? Yikes!) I decided to log in again today and comment. I realized my sig was a bit outdated and tried to edit it to include my current...

I'm a mainly 2nd. Ed. player starting to branch out into 3.5 D&D - but I'm not a fan of the WotC material beyond the core stuff, and am looking for some other settings and rules variants. I've heard good things about Midnight and Iron Heroes, and I know that the Black Company setting was...

I just bought a bunch of used minis (both metal and plastic) for $3 (yay good deal!). But the previous owners had decided to paint directly onto the metal, without priming first. (They also did a lousy paintjob. :( ) Can I spray a black primer coat on and just paint on top of that? Or should I...

So I've been looking at the 3.5e handbooks recently (I thought the game I'm joining might have been going with 3.5e, but we went with 2e instead), and I've decided that I like the ideas of "taking levels" in a class, and the general concept of feats. Can you guys give me any recommendation as...

Can someone explain what sort of things would need to be converted from a Castles & Crusades module to an AD&D module (and vice versa)? I'm seriously thinking about buying a copy, buuuut my FLGS doesn't have any, so I can't look through and decide whether or not it would be a worthwhile...

So I'm supposed to play at some point in a 3.5e game a friend of mine is running, and I was invited to "guest-star" my character from the 2nd Edition campaign I had been running/playing in earlier. I'm wondering how best to translate my character concept over, given that there are all these...

Seeing all this discussion of the Dragon Magazine CD Archive reminded me of the other AD&D product I had dreamed of buying at the time - the Core Rules CD. I vaguely remember that it had a bunch of the "Complete" books, including some of the rarer ones. For an AD&D DM, is it worth it to hunt...

Situation: newbie DM, has prepared big homebrew adventure, lot of work placed into writing it, etc. etc. The plot hook is rather blatantly placed. Your character normally wouldn't bite, but the hook's not diametrically opposed to their alignment or anything like that. One obviously doesn't...

I've been trying to send private messages to other users, but am sternly reproached that "You do not have permission to access this page." Are PMs restricted to admins and such only?

After poking around this forum a bit, I seem to have found a not-too-positive outlook for Mongoose Publishing. Can people tell me: a) why they feel this way? b) Whether quality for Mongoose's various lines (e.g. the Bab5 RPG and PARANOIA, for starters) is different than Mongoose quality in...
