She's been playing since 2E days (about '94 or so), but she's only been DMing D&D for 6 months or so. She also has a learning disability (I think its a form of autism, but it was diagnosed back in the 70's and she's never gotten an updated evaluation), so her style and thinking is vastly...

I think there is a middle ground in this matter. Players want their decisions to matter, and the DM surely wants to present something that's entertaining. I've been guilty of a form of the Quantum Ogre myself, but I tend to build encounters that respond to decisions the characters make. If...

See post #8.

I was turned off to Eberron when it was first released because it felt too "high magic" and modern, with the likes of Lightning Rails, Warforged (robots), common feather fall tokens in Sharn, skydisks and the like, and was concerned it was going to spill into core D&D as the default. Luckily...

There was a Game of Thrones article in Dragon, with a map of one of the keeps back in the day. It would be nice to see them do a full-blown D&D campaign world tied to Game of Thrones now, especially if they went the One Ring/Middle Earth route and were willing to modify the base game to fit GoT...

Didn't they already do a D&D clue back in 3E with the iconics? And as good as Renegade's games are, I am surprised that Hasbro didn't do the RPGs for Transformers, GI Joe and MLP in-house and by someone on the D&D crew in the first place. As for Universes Beyond, give me a D&D Axis and Allies...

There probably will be, but it will take time. I think it used to take 12-18 months to turn around a product idea for D&D, so unless they already had something planned (which I don't believe they do at this moment) we likely won't see it for a year or more.

There's already a terrific RPG Transformers game via Renegade. It is more based on an Alternity/skill die system, but does use d20 for resolution.

Usually in the past few years, the illustrations in the books often had a hint of books that were upcoming ("Wanted: Kelek" in Tasha's foreshadowing Wytchlight and the Gymnasium picture foreshadowing Planescape). Have we seen anything in the likes of the 2024 books or Dragon Delves that might...

Last night, I had the very same thing happen to me as a player and it upset me. It wasn't an Ogre, but a Werebear. Our group was traveling from the Healer's Hall to the town of Kingshold. As had happened for the past few sessions, our first encounter on the road was with a patrol known as...

From the things I've read, it wasn't an accident. Gary deliberately wrote B2 to replace B1 primarily because Mike Carr was getting a 2% royalty on every sale of the adventure (rather than being paid a fixed sum for producing the module) and that was cutting into TSR's profits. I'm guessing as...

Well, B2 - but we know what you mean. ;) It would be interesting to see what B1 - Into the Unknown would look like for 5E (outside of the OAR treatment).

Eh, why base an entire race/subrace on a color? /sarcasm I'd just like to see a whole book on psionics itself and a Dark Sun campaign to drop them in, personally. As for blue goblins I don't think they need to be broken out like the half-dozen elf races we've seen in past editions. Just...

- Curse of Strahd, Electric Boogaloo - Explorers of the Dreaded Isle (Isle of Dread add-on to Heroes of the Borderlands) - Ye Olde Adventure Compendium (including Night's Dark Terror, Ghost Tower of Iverness, D1-D2 Descent into the Depths, D3 Vault of the Drow, Q1 Queen of the Demonwebs). -...

When I used to organize party order for my games, my preferred method was to have the rogue ahead of the group (enough that the party's clanking fighters didn't adversely affect stealth). The main group then had a melee fighter in front and in rear. Rear guard had to be on the highest alert as...
