I submit a set of 138 cardboard standees. For me, the space saved and ease of transport trumps minis. https://www.amazon.com/Wanderers-Emporium-Miniatures-Dungeons-Standees/dp/B0CXVG9GLZ?th=1

Warforged don't have noses. #NotMyEberron. :ROFLMAO: Major props to the artist for this book, I love the art deco look except for the Metropolis-style warforged with noses. They do look cool but a bit too much robot vs golems for my tastes. At this point, the warforged design is iconic for me.

For me, the magic sauce of DB was Willpower Points and Attributes as they set up Skill levels and bonus damage. For my second DB campaign, I set up an attribute array to ensure the highest attribute was 15, which gets d4 bonus damage and a trained skill of 12, which is a 60%. Definitely gave...

One of my best campaigns setup that the players all came from the same small town and knew each other their whole lives. Even the "loner" rogue was onboard because the other PC has protected him from the village bullies. Each player wanted their moment with their parents whenever they returned...

The new DB has a very similar set up.

In SotDE, a lot of the dungeon bosses are assigned Ferocity more as a formula than a standard number. The formula was either Ferocity=# of Players or # of players -1. I often ran games of five or six and the math worked reliably.

That monster/end boss technology as inherent to a game has been long over due. So many GMs want to have a climatic battle with one big bad vs the whole party and for most games, it's either very swingy or runs much longer than it should to loads of hit points. My technique is to roll for the...

Nine times out of ten, the boxed set. An experienced GM might be able to run Path for a group inexperienced with DB but familiar with 5e or PF. The book gives you suggestions on what new PCs need and those players may feel more comfortable with more options. But the learning curve will be...

Love seeing your process with a campaign I have run twice. I'd suggest Troll's Spire over Riddermound to be honest. Riddermound is a bit rough on beginners.

As I started reading your article and thinking "But what if dwarves?" Was not disappointed. I think the more we move our D&D games out of the faux Middle Ages, we get more interesting possibilities.

For my personal headcanon, I substitute "experience" for "story." Most because talking about story makes people think in literary terms and tropes instead of mechanics and shared spaces. i.e., every player who wants to be a lone wolf PC forgets most games - and the scenarios within them -...

To add perspective, I think most of us can remember when it was highly likely any movie/TV adaption was going to be subpar. i.e. For every Incredible Hulk, there was three Captain Americas on a motorbike. The one or two people who were passionate about the material was drowned out by everyone...

For me, as long as it is deadly world of psionics, swords and a touch of sorcery, then I'll be happy.

Based on the original inspiration for the the OSR, saying something is outdated used to be a compliment. :ROFLMAO:

Dagnabbit! I had been wondering if the Clark Ashton Smith estate was open to ttrpgs again. Evidently they were put off from licensing ttprgs in the past. No idea, but I am betting it was either an unfamiliarity with industry or whoever got the license ghosted them and never made the product...

They just lost two huge pieces of that with Perkins and Crawford leaving. I could be totally wrong but I feel like between WotC being used as a career stepping stone for the suits and an even higher level of disdain for the game designer, all sense of history and past mistakes is lost. Then...

I've lost track of the revolving door of CEOs. Which administration started Sigil up? Was that the same team that thought D&D Beyond subscriptions was the key to profits?
