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.

Kira the Huntress was a fallen ranger present in Return to the Keep on the Borderlands (the 2e treatment of KotB), a merc hired by the death temple (along with her fallen paladin buddy).

Sounds reminiscent of the Dolmenwood, as presented in the Wormskin series of zines.

Jack Shear's Krevborna setting may be of interest, as might his Ulverland, Gothic Earth, and Grotesque and Dungeonesque setting compilations.

5-6 PCs of levels 3-4. There are also Land of Azurth specific pregens included, if folks want to use those.

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...

Hydra editor here; Chris did indeed base the name - and some of the geography! - on Sleeping Bear Dunes, after taking a few vacations there.

OK. So the old sig is grandfathered in if I want to keep that, but I can't edit it (other than removing it) unless I'm a subscriber? Just want to make sure I'm understanding the policies. Thanks!

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 I realized my sig was a bit outdated and tried to edit it to include my current...

Would you consider Morgan Ironwolf (the example used in B/X chargen) suitable here? See also Black Dougal (thief, dies opening a poisoned chest), Silverleaf (elf), Sister Rebecca (cleric), and Fredrik (dwarf).

I'm the only one out of my gaming group to hit either EnWorld or RPGnet. If I were to urge my group to join a site, it would probably be RPGnet, just because of the greater system diversity (we're no longer primarily D&D).

Firstly, I just want to note that the 4e system is essentially the same as the original WFRP alignment system. I think I do agree with the statements that the new system cuts some of the cruft that was in the original 3x3 alignment grid. That said, I'm probably going to continue to toss...

But I thought the Lady of Pain was supposed to be, y'know, enigmatic and COOL and stuff.

Heh. I started out with 2e, and later acquired the 1e books - and found the 1e DMG to be chock-fulla awesomeness. The PHB - not so much, but still pretty darn cool. I think I fall in the camp of "2e rules, 1e flavor." As for 3e, I refused to even look at it for many years, on the grounds that...

AAAIEEE my brain! My apologies for not articulating my request better in the initial post. I'm looking for settings combined with rules variants (which, as I understand it, removes the WotC settings). I'm looking for settings with something of a "dark epic" feel to them - it's possible to be...

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 often wind up playing similar characters, so I put down B, because I'm trying to force myself to play other archetypes, and the easiest way to do that is to say "I guess I'm gonna be a mage."

I checked RC, 1e, and 2e; I'm currently in a (stalled) 2e campaign, but am willing to run RC and 1e (and looking forward to the experience).

And being dismissively told "Make the character sheet" isn't? 'sides, he's not going to give the friend this sheet for actual use.
