I’ve read too many published adventures over the years, so my notes are pretty much full-blown write-ups. This was my write-up for my Cyre 1313 Halloween adventure, without the maps (made in dungeon fog),logic puzzle key or handouts. [/spoiler]

What a horrible gut-punch for the publishers. If Diamond is legally able to get away with this, I hope the publisher's lawyers would be able to force Diamond to offer the publishers first-buy rights (at pennies on the dollar) to get their stock back to attempt to resell through other avenues...

Limit your players to pulling from no more than 2 books for their abilities. Not so much for the player’s sake, but for the DMs.The more sources the DM has to track or prep for, the less is spent on handling the adventure and actin at hand. Completely personal opinion: 3E is a severe headache...

Tell that to the dragons of Council of Wyrms. How do they get those items on? They have Demi-human (or kobolds, goblins or the like) associates who act as servants, just as any rich individual might.

I’d be inclined to treat it as if it’s taking the “Help” action. May not be elaborate, but should be able to enhance a performance.

Ah, the Xaosect is revealed! None perfectly fit, but if I had to choose, put me in for the Mercykillers, with a side of the Sign of One.

I was unhappy the first time around when half-orcs were removed. Taking them (and half-elves as well) out again feels like 1989 all over again, with a different group behind the "push".

As much as I love D&D, there have been times I had to step away for one reason or another. So far, I feel I've been lucky enough I come back around to some form of RPG, if not directly D&D. From the note above, it doesn't sound like it's anyone in particular being the cause, just general...

Delicious in dungeon?

I'm talking more like this: Both red dragons, not even remotely close.

It's harder these days to get players to wrap their heads around the idea that an encounter might be over their heads, and that running is a perfectly viable option. In my wife's recent campaign, twice we've had to back out an encounter that was more than we could handle - and if I hadn't been...

Well, ugh. That puts it in the "thanks, but no thanks" category :(. I'm already inundated with plastic dragons anyways.

I cheer for D&D's dragons not being limited to having one fixed appearance - pre 3E, they didn't really have a unified look and Elmore's depiction vs. Parkinson's vs. Easley vs. Sutherland's were often quite different - and I was okay with that. However, that said there are certain dragon...

Same here - the new dragon designs mostly did not appeal to me, but if the actual mini stays close to the render, I might pick this up just for a display piece.

This has been the reason bookmarks have existed for ages. No organization is going to end up working perfectly as we all have our own organization idiosyncrasies. We can fight about it until the cows come home and still not have a good answer. Some want the book for consultation at the table...

Vaguely sounds like Incarnum magic, might be worth digging through that 3E book if you can get your hands on it. Might be better fitting as a Pact granting a limited form of Alter Self (Pact of the Altered? Pact of the Aspect?) that is interlinked with Invocations, rather than revising the...

Just take a look at Masque of the Red Death; it's done most of the work for you in that regard.

Look through many RPG products I own with the like of "page XX" references in them*, I understand why they don't - though it would be really nice if they did. * And my own troubles getting HomeBrewery & Word to properly paginate references
