    Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space

    Hi, Hope it's allowed to post this here. I have no affiliation with Cubicle7! I just found that there's a Humble Bundle containing all the Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space in PDF format. I consider DW:AiTaS to be one of the best RPGs I've ever played so wanted to share. It has...

    Where do oil come from?

    Forgive the thread title - couldn't resist. So I'm trying to make my fantasy setting authentic as much as possible and avidly adding as many period details as possible. It's a horribly inconsistent mish-mash of pseudo-17th nobility in places with Saxon-era peasantry in others. But I try to...

    Explain to me again, how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

    So, I have noticed that my players are predisposed to make real world assumptions about the setting. E.g. one keeps asking me about whether the speed of a falling druid changes when they turn into a bear. To which, although it was painfully transparant that they thought they were executing some...

    Need an alternative to D&D.

    So, my group recently expressed interest in doing a fantasy campaign so given D&D is the big name in the genre I bought it - naively it appears. The PCs are still low-level but I'm already finding the system a little hinky with things like Perception and AC feeling very loose with balance and...

    D&D 5E Which Ravenloft setting book?

    Hi, I've started running 5e. Long ago, I once had the very lovely AD&D 2nd edition boxed set of Raven Loft (I think there was only one boxed set. If not, then the first one with all the card-stock portraits of dark lords, etc.). I no longer have it, I would like to re-add Ravenloft to my...

    D&D 5E Musing on Levels and Campaign Pacing.

    So I'm shortly starting my frist ever 5e campaign and I wanted to get a feel for how progression would go. Should I plan a war against the kobolds or would the PCs quickly level out of battling kobolds by the third adventure? Should I plan my epic protagonist to be a CR 29 arch-fiend? Or would...

    D&D 5E Volo vs. Kobold

    Hi, A simple question for those who are familiar with both. I'm weighing up whether I might get Volo's Guide to Monsters or Tome of Beasts. It's one or the other not both. It's a new campaign so the emphasis will be on low level characters for now. I do like Fey and I think Tome of Beasts has a...

    D&D 5E Can I ride my giant bat? Can I ride it in a hat?

    Also, giant eagles, giant owls. I see these things in the MM and they all have strengths of 13 or more. (Owl is 13, Bat is 15, Eagle is 16) and are all Large. A Riding Horse has a Str of 16. But I personally find it harder to fly than walk no matter how hard I jump so I'm guessing that might...

    D&D 5E Fantasy Grounds and others (newbie opinion seeking)

    I'm staring a 5e campaign - haven't run D&D since 3.5. I don't have a lot of prep time generally plus with being new to the rules I'm looking around for tools to help me. I found Fantasy Grounds from the links on the WotC site and it looks pretty impressive. But it also seems geared towards...
