Call of Cthulhu 1920s. Horror in the French Countryside.

Classes, subclasses, spells, feats and magic items could probably do with a PDF update rather than physical copies. Maybe take those and put them in their own PDF document which could be purchased for a reasonable price.

Mine has probably been something simple like not paying attention to what the characters are capable of doing now, and then they run a little roughshod over things. Now I make a point of asking each player what cool new abilities and spells their character gained after they level. Makes things...

I was not aware of that. I'll take a look. Thanks.

The idea was to see if it could create a workable template system for 5th edition. I used the Advanced Creature template as a base to see if it works. One of the reasons for asking what people thought, was that it seemed like a sizeable power increase rather than something more balanced. I'm...

For a few months now I've been using ChatGPT to fill out and expand upon my homebrew campaign setting to get some extra ideas and scenario hooks. One of the things I miss from the 3rd edition and Pathfinder days was templates. It feels weird that 5th edition doesn't use anything like that. With...

The problem probably is, that there isn't enough female dwarves in artwork it has sampled and it doesn't know how to apply an African ethnicity to them because of it.

Rulebooks, source books, adventure paths/campaigns and bestiaries, for me, need to be A4 and hardback. Adventure modules should still be A4 but I can live with them being softback since they will get more flipping through them.

For many years, nay decades, my concept of the perfect D&D setting was Middle Earth. I'd point people to that and then the Peter Jackson films. Middle Earth with a few more monsters perhaps. I was always of the view that the best setting was very medieval with some fantastical elements. Cities...

I prefer 5.5 but since everyone else says 2014 or 2015 I go with that.

I only do encounters I want the party to have. If they are high enough level and passing through the goblin forests, I'll either gloss over any potential fights or they just don't encounter anything.

I don't really pay attention to the recommended number. If I'm running a module, I'll give what the module gives and if I'm writing my own, then I use the random treasure method from the DMG. Simples.

D&D 2024, Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign. Derelict ship. Terrifying sea monster!

I think player agency has a variety of perceived meanings. I've had known players in the past who felt that it meant that whatever they wanted to create as a character, providing it was was from an official TSR/WotC book was acceptable regardless of DM wishes because it came from an official...

Probably not what you are looking for but the closet I come to this is that every campaign will have a Black Lobster tavern that the party will visit at some point. They may be different cities or countries, or even completely different campaign settings but there will always be a Black Lobster...

I've never much liked the sandbox/open world play style. As a player I get bored, or more accurately I get lost. I much prefer to have a story that I can follow and learn as I go. It's just how I prefer to play. As a Dungeon Master, I was brought into the hobby and raised (as it were) with the...

Assuming it won't spoil anything for anyone on here, but what is the hook they never pursue?

Not opposed to the idea of a short campaign but I will say that my preference would be to play a full 1st to 20th if possible.

Going into 2024 edition I wasn't going to use it as learning a new system I wanted to learn the rules proper first. However, both groups I DM for are accustomed to the old flanking rules and wanted to keep them. They don't feel that it takes anything away significantly from anything else and...

I wouldn't mind who did it so long as they made a decent product or better yet, product line out of it.
