More Forgoten Realms .... this is getting sickening .

Pssst... You can make up your own stories and settings.

It is a shame that people do not understand that I'm complaining about having settings locked on DMsGuildfor development and that having "toolkit books" (what?!?) does not allow anyone to develop books set in Mystara or Eberron. I do not want to download lore from dmsguild, I would like to uplad things there. And I m not allowed to do that, apart from Fr, Ravenloft or 'generic' (what?!?).

Oh okay, yeah that could be frustrating, although Dread Domains of Ravenloft contected to other settings could be a loophole.

So speaking of "FR Specific"

"Dungeon of the Mad Mage" sounds very Castle Greyhawk. Is that also Undermountain's shtick?

Wotc seems to be building a bookshelf of material designed to provide a DM with the nuts and bolts to fantasy adventure. Maps, locations, npcs, etc, for all your gaming needs. (Mostly) And yes, FR is the backdrop. But now I can add urban material to my jungle and giant and dragon and vampire and ...

 

[TerraDave]

Oh I see, its Halaster vs. Zagyg (who was the "mad archmage").

I guess you can't have a megadungeon without a mad wizard behind it.

More Forgotten Realm.....these are not the products I was hoping for.

Anyone know what the cylindrical die is?

It's a spin-down hit point tracker, based off of Magic: The Gathering life counters.

It's a spin-down hit point tracker, based off of Magic: The Gathering life counters.

So it tracks characters with 12 hp or lower?
