List is wrong, though. Lots of those spells aren’t on the wizard spell list.

NWN1's build tools and community content were superior, but the pre-built single-player campaign that shipped with NWN2 is WAY better than the one in NWN1.

I played the whole demo, which is what they were showing there. The dialogue throughout is comparable to the first game, albeit elevated a bit by stronger voice acting.

I enjoyed the first game, but the elephant in the room is that they really needed a better narrative designer and people who can write dialogue. For all the improvements they're making, there's no indication that they are doing that. I think it will still be good, but if they don't invest in...

Based on the job titles, I honestly would have expected the respective job responsibilities to be exactly switched.

Very helpful & thorough review. Thank you!

There are only two episodes left in PodCast Party: To Slay a Dragon. Episodes 30 & 31 will both release later this month!

Mine generally wouldn’t either, but all these adventures have a non-TPK option which just scales down the final boss to a more reasonable threat level - and most of them seem like generally good adventures regardless of the deadliness level of the last encounter.

@Nienke it sounds like you did an excellent job as a first-time DM. And yes, in my experience so far the 2024 encounter building “balance” rules are actually worse than the flawed 2014 CR system, even though they’re touted as an improvement.

GREAT reviews, thank you! Question: does the book include maps? If so, might be an easy buy for me.

You might be thinking of Avowed? That got a patch this week that added an arachnophobia setting.

Whatever you play right after BG3 is gonna seem kinda bad imo.

Incidentally, if I don’t generally like JRPGs, will I enjoy Clair Obscur? I know it’s a French game, but it seems JRPG-esque. My main objection to JRPGs is the player’s general lack of meaningful choices/agency/ability to affect the story.

And you know what? I'd argue that Veilguard is STILL quite good, particularly once you get past the first 10 hours. Certainly it doesn't at all deserve the vitriol its received online (not really from actual critics, who generally liked it, but from the usual suspects). Part of the problem is...

It seems like you've stacked the deck in order to make sure that the results will be right for your table, so it will be fine. One caveat: I suspect that if I told my players about the Void card as an example of what could happen, I think most of them (and I have about 40 regulars) would just...

Make it clear to the players from the outset that they'll be dealing with multiple waves of enemies with no opportunity to rest in between. They'll at least then know they need to ration their resources.

The issue with Dark Sun isn't that it portrays slavery as good. It's that it portrays it as a pervasive and more or less permanent cornerstone of every major civilization in the setting. The most common trope for starting a Dark Sun campaign is "we're slave gladiators." "It's a fantasy game...

At least they listened!
