I'm trying to work out a rather odd encounter and I'm looking for some opinions. How many CR1 monsters would it take to bring down a 20th level fighter? Say the fighter is trapped in area that they can't escape from (or is too stupid to try) and wave after wave of lets say, the Spy NPC from the...

Please, please, please don’t use another iconic Greyhawk hero, villain, or storyline to supplement the Forgotten Realms. Let’s actually have a product that actually features something else in this supposed vast and varied multiverse.

Quite frankly, I'm a little shocked that Ravenloft is a favorite in such high numbers. It makes me really wonder what people are thinking when they select it as a "campaign setting." Do they really mean that they like Ravenloft "the adventure?" Because that's not a campaign setting. I like the...

And I wish I could take your substantial amount of money. No doubt that the coolness of the three magic items contributed to the adventure's greatness, but there was just so much to love about that module. In fact, the way in which you've been talking about it makes me think you either ran it...

This actually means that way more people are buying D&D than are buying Pathfinder because D&D has released only a tiny percentage of product compared to Paizo's release schedule.

I respect your right to be wrong.

I strongly dislike it, and it seems to have become the norm for most adventures that are written today. Sometimes I feel like these writers should get busy writing their first fantasy novel, rather than continue writing adventures. They seem to get too caught up in the story they want to tell...

[SPOILERS BELOW] Has anyone who ran Princes of the Apocalypse put together a comprehensive list of the delegation members that were captured or killed? I know that they are found as prisoners in various parts of the dungeons, but I was wondering if anyone had already done the work on this one.

Yes, that's right. I don't think that has anything to do with the format whatsoever. That's because they've been marketing it well. Room for improvement remains. Yup, tons of people are running them. What's impossible to know is how many people would rather the contents be presented in a more...

Here's what they should do. Wizards, if you're listening, heed this advice: These unwieldily campaign hardcover books are the worst format you could choose to put your adventures in. It's also too much information to drop at once for anyone seeking to run the adventure. They are cumbersome to...

I am running 5e and really loving it. The conversions I've made have been thematic in nature. I ran Lost Mines of Phandelver and ported into the region of the Principality of Naerie. The changes there were pretty easy, especially after I realized that the maps almost perfectly fit into that...

The Forgotten Realms and the World of Greyhawk are essentially the same thing. The differences that exist between their geography and the names of the nations and the powerful NPCs are really not at all that significant. Converting adventures is also not that big of a deal. People are deeply...

Wow. The Demon Queen of Fungi has lost a lot of weight since her younger days. She looks a lot healthier than she used to. She must have cut way back on soda and carbs. Great job Zuggy!

The three core rulebooks and the Starter Set were gold, for sure. Unfortunately, that's all I have to report that's been really awesome. I strongly disliked Hoard of the Dragon Queen, after which Rise of Tiamat could have nothing to offer me. I'm running Princes of the Apocalypse now, and I...

That's true. But it still comes at the expense of place X. Meaning, place X receives no further detail or "action" because place Y gets 100% of the attention. Why not mix it up and have this adventure path from this world, and the next adventure path from that world? That's how you properly...

The problem is that not everyone wants to use the Forgotten Realms setting. Some people, in fact, really dislike the Forgotten Realms setting. Some people, like me, have a consistently running, 32-year-old Greyhawk campaign. Some people want to have their campaigns set in the bleak world of Dark...

I've always thought Forgotten Realms needed more Transformers. Maybe they can throw some Warforged in there that can transform into wagons and dragons and stuff. That'd be so sweet.

This is why Michael Bay's terrible movies are so successful.

There is no doubt about it. The multiverse idea was absolutely a classic D&D concept. And yet, we refer to The Temple of Elemental Evil, The Lost Caverns of Tsojocanth, The Tomb of Horrors, Mordenkainen's Fantastic Adventure, White Plume Mountain, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, Scourge of the...

To me it feels the same as Gandalf showing up in the The Force Awakens to help Luke on his quest to defeat Khan, who failed to defeat his enemy Dumbledore in some other universe. The choices are being made for monetary reasons, not for the purposes of good story creation. I mean, I get it. They...
