I generally run modules and adventure paths so I like to have PCs start off with some connection to the plot and possibly each other. When I ran the Freeport Trilogy I had the players create backstories of why the goodhearted librarian Egil would ask them for help. The first session was meeting...

DLE1 In Search of Dragons (2e) 2e Draconian Spectral Minion: Two Bozak draconians were killed as a result of Tarligor’s experiments. The essence of one was utterly destroyed. The other’s corrupted essence became a spectral minion. Reanimated Dragon Skeleton: Artha surveys the scene below...

If I tell you I am going to link to a tweet from yesterday I think you will know what I mean even though the company calls it something different now. If I make a comment on Obamacare and you are American I think you might know what I am talking about even though its official title is the...

Consistency and coherence with traditional D&D edition naming. TSR 2e was Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Second Edition. This was not the second edition of Dungeons and Dragons, which had already had (in order) Dungeons and Dragon (OD&D), Basic Dungeons and Dragons (Holmes Basic), Advanced...

I think experiences vary here. My memory of discussions was mostly about people's individual games doing things like Star Wars and urban fantasy. Leverage is Cortex btw not Fate. :)

I am mostly in Pathfinder 2e for the Golarion lore and the big setting books like the Mwangi and Impossible Lands ones I get in bundles. I have not played 2e or read the rules parts in depth so I could not really say a lot on the mechanical end changes but my top level understanding is it took...

Calcified compared to what? Early 5e for the first ten years had mostly Tasha's and Xanathar's as new rules development after start then not much besides little things in setting books until 24 core. We are getting a little with expanded backgrounds and feats in the 24 FR and Eberron setting...

DLA3 Dragon's Rest (2e) 2e Ash Zombie: About 50 years ago, a powerful wind of deadly fumes blew in from Hitehkel, poisoning the inhabitants of a cluster of six villages located on the western peninsula of the northernmost Rainward Isle. The survivors brought their dead to a central cemetery, the...

Iron Gods and the area of Numeria has so much to riff off of if you want. The whole second module is set in a Mad Max type gang city that even has its own not-Thunderdome gladiator arena. I, and my players, were able to get in a ton of riffing references: Star Trek, Paranoia, Shadowrun, Mad...

I was severely underwhelmed by the mechanics of Dragonmarks in 3e and the only Eberron game I played in had only a little Dragonmark house politics before we shipped off to the Jungles of Xendrik to go after giants. Dragonmarks are not the parts of Eberron that really caught my attention (the...

In my 5e game conversion of the Pathfinder Iron Gods Adventure Path we did something similar. It was a Thudarr the Barbarian Sci-Fi in D&D type area and adventure theme with a crashed ancient space ship in a fantasy world, androids, robots, and sci fi stuff along with druids and barbarians. One...

Shadow of the Weird Wizard. I've gotten a bunch of PDFs from sales and I want to try it out as a D&D like that is set up for a quick paced campaign without the grimdark/horror/gore Shadow of the Demon Lord overtones. Blades in the Dark, I'd like to try a fantasy heist system. Savage Worlds...

DLA2: Dragon Knight (2e) 2e Lich: ? Hobgoblin Zombie: The hobgoblins who formerly lived in Sargohgg used this pit to bury their dead. The pit appears to contain only rocks, debris, and loose dirt. Any character who rummages through the pit for two rounds, presumably searching for treasure...

Dead Gods (2e) 2e Visage, Insane Visage, Faithful Visage, Visage Servant: Visages are undead tanar'ri, former servants of Tenebrous brought back by the evil god's influence over all things undead. Despite having been created by a former Abyssal lord, the visages have no place among the tanar'ri...

Crypt of the Smoke Dragon 2e Undead, Living Dead: ? Zombie, Horrible Undead Monster, Zombie Guard, Weird Statue, Long-Dead Human Warrior, Undead Guardian: ? Skeleton, Skeletal Warrior, Threatening Form, Undead Guardian: ?

One consequence of the palladium active defenses is that it changes the flow of combat from D&D's quick shoot outs where a person makes an attack with a roll then the action moves on to the next person, to a more back and forth duel with both the player and GM making rolls to resolve every...
