I don’t think his video is addressed to wizards or any publisher. It appears he is talking to players, possibly even inexperienced players. In the same way that a lot of his videos are directed to new players and GMs I think he’s saying that the reason he is saying what he is saying is that...

Fair enough, yes he doesn’t specifically address that starter adventure.

Well he doesn’t ignore it he specifically addresses it and says that even the adventure in the beginners box is too long for a starter DM. I suspect he would say just the cragmaw caves would be a suitable length for a starter DM - make it less a “you stumble across some goblins and then roust...

Go to DM’s guild or drivethru. Plenty of short adventures there.

I liked that he was Flannae - mixed it up a bit. Not every Suel is the same and not every powerful bad wizard had to come from the Suloise tradition. The Suel have got plenty of powerful history and bad guy types in Greyhawk. They have the invoked devastation, the Maure family and the Scarlet...

My understanding is that Vecna was from Greyhawk and was referred to as Flannae, specifically Ur-Flannae who were a group of Flannae mystics and necromancers. Flannae people have a bronzed complexion varying from a light copper shade to a very deep brown, with dark wavy or curly hair. Flan eye...

I missed the fantasy companion but by adding it on to this ks I can get it & other companions I missed - which is part of why I backed it to the level I have. I doubt im typical but only about 1/3 of the amount I have pledged in this kickstarter is for the sci fi stuff.

Very sad news, her work was awesome. My first encounter with her work was as a player in Dark Tower in an after school rpg club in about 1981. I later got to play in Duck Tower sometime in the mid 80’s. Most of her stuff is available on drive thru rpg but not the Legendary Duck Tower, whoever...

Unless your campaign is cosmic level you don’t need a cosmic level artifact to evoke the risk of potentially campaign changing devastation the characters can be seeking to overcome. At low level an Item that attracts a hydra can be a devastating threat item, the AD&D series desert of desolation...

Reminder bump: A handful of hours until Shadow of the Weird Wizard KS ends and it’s about $5k short of its final stretch goal. This is what Rob Schwalb said in his last update about what you get “We still have time to unlock the last stretch goal, so I'm extra grateful for your help in...

I’m not sure what you mean. The stats are still Str,Agi,Int and Will not Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, & Cha. Because each single point a stat is above or below 10 results in a +1 or -1 (Ie 11 gives +1 like a 12 in 5e D&D and 12 gives +2 like a 14 in 5e D&D) instead of a starting character having a...

I’m excited about Shadow of the Weird Wizard. I know the basic system works well from Shadow of the Demon Lord and I’m looking forward to seeing the upgrade. The setting seems to have a real Greyhawk vibe with the characters exploring a region and perhaps a city once ruled by the now vanished...

Forbidden Rules has a method to roll up starting characteristics

12. My School had a copy of the D&D box set, the one with the blue rules book and B1 as the starter module. We had a free double period at school and a friend of mine introduced a couple of us to the game. I played the pre gen Krago of the Mountains.

“Fighter, Wizard, or Rogue, along with an ally by their side.” Did they just make the cleric/healbot an NPC? Wow, saying the quiet parts out loud

I thought this article was going to be about people who watch streaming shows but dont game or buy gaming stuff just to read but aren’t really into gaming. But different hobbies - all good. I drove past a bunch of birdwatchers today, Telescopic cameras, waders, camo gear and thought that’s not...

When I heard there was going to be a Phandelver area expansion I thought it would just add to the Lost Mines adventure not reprint and add a bit, so I bought a back up copy of the starter set. More fool me. I wonder if the part that isn’t a reprint of the starter set will be some of the...

7, quite cartoonish in tone which was fine, entertaining though fairly forgettable. The D&D monsters and magic effects they portrayed looked good and the humour worked for the most part. The ensemble party were all pretty good, the two main characters both did a great job. From a gamer...

Some rpgames and campaign starts are fine just with a 30 second recap - play those with the ones who don’t engage. “The town you are in was attacked by mysterious marauders who kidnapped some townsfolk including the local priest and you have tracked them back to this mountain pass” etc. We play...

Yup you are not alone. When I am a player I’m the opposite. I want to know why my character is involved in the hijinks and some background as to what they know about the set up. I also hate missing the set up in the first 5 minutes of a movie. I suspect I am a bit annoying to some GM’s wanting...
