    The EN World IRON DM 2019 Tournament Scheduling Thread

    I think I might be overcount. But I just barely made it. This ingredients were a tough fit. I'm pretty sure wisdomseeker wins if he can manage coherent english.

    WotC WotC will do what you say for 5 years. What are your instructions?

    Well, Disney licensed Marvel properties for action figures and costume accessories to Hasbro. Also Monopoly. So it seems like a reasonable ask. All Disney needs to put in is some publicity or production stills to fulfill the art needs for the book and sign the license agreement. Admittedly the...

    WotC WotC will do what you say for 5 years. What are your instructions?

    I'm going to break the rules straight off. Step 1: Diversify, but don't cannibalize D&D. The best way to do this is a rerelease of the old FASERIP Marvel Superheroes System. Go digital if you're feeling risk-averse but it would work in print as well. This isn't even game design just IP...

    2011 was...difficult. Thank you for thinking of me. I think I finally got back to collecting those messages in 2016, appreciated them, and decided it might be best to let sleeping dogs lie. Glad to be back :)

    A move, three new jobs, a marriage, and a kid are a long gap.

    D&D 5E Tomb of Annihilation campaign recaps

    Nebulous, I appreciate your recaps of this path. At this point, I don't think I'm ever going to get to play this path, so it's nice to hear about it.

    Simple Superhero Systems

    I love FATE and FATE Accelerated dearly, but with the wrong group it turns into endless debate about the exact connotations of words in your traits. And unfortunately, I don't think you can find out you're playing FATE with the wrong group until about four sessions in. If this is a casual pickup...

    Castles in a D&D/Fantasy setting

    Well, if you're concerned about monsters, you might also want to consider the kind of monster that suborns the defenders: harpies, dryads, vampires...anything with a charm power. You probably also have the category of "monsters that don't care about physical reality": any monster with...

    Simple Superhero Systems

    Try one of the retroclones of Marvel's FASERIP system. Those are pretty light and fast.

    Give me some chase obstacles

    More suggestions Fantasy wilderness Bees. The first group through is fine, but they're ready for the second group. A migrating heard of Perfectly Normal Beasts (tm), elephants, dire elk. or even normal caribou. Too busy to attack, but not going to get out of the way. Too many to fireball, too...

    Meet Emperess Matilda, a woman so fierce and awesome she was definitely the Player Character of her own Epic Adventure...

    Good Character going Bad (For Good Reasons)

    Respectfully, no. The key to an evil character is they must NOT do their evil deeds to the other PC's. Evil can be quite manageable, but messing with your professional colleagues is unwise from a character perspective. It also annoys even mature gamers.

    Paladins and Squires

    Well, "what the squire compares to" is based on the squire, not the knight. Traditionally, squires were expected to ascend to knighthood and go be independent. The knight would then take on a new squire. (Yes, like Batman and his Robins.) In 5e D&D, it might be that the squire is a first or...
