Dungeons? Very often. Not every session, but at least one every level. Usually 5 to 20 rooms, but sometimes more if the players are really in the mood for multilevel dungeons. Dragons? Not that often. At least one per campaign, and usually more than one, but I like them to feel like mythical...

I consider 2e to 3e and '14 to '25 to be both Vecna's attempts to rewrite History (Die Vecna Die! and Eve of Ruin). Both attempts affected the whole multiverse, but since they happened outside the material plane and they failed the people on the Realms don't remember anything happening.

BG3 SPOILERS AHEAD So and could paid for a ressurection apparently. It makes sense, but I think it would be more interesting if they changed at least , he isn't interesting at all.

Anyone who got the book can check who are the Baldur's Gate Dukes?

I wish they did the MtG modules using the traditional MtG cosmology (the planes, blind eternities, etc) instead of inserting it in the D&D cosmology.

How I currently run it: Neither the drows nor the orcs are inherently evil, but there are relevant evil drow and orc groups. The main contact the surface people have with the drow is by Mezoberranzan, an imperialist theocracy that raids the surface for slaves. While the average drow in...

1. Why? Familiarity, mostly. After all these years running a game set in the Forgotten Realms is almost second nature. Second, I made the setting mine after all these years. It's still very much recognizable and easily approachable by a player who knows the realms from playing the games or...

Watched Mononoke Hime again today (in IMAX!) and revived an old idea I've read somewhere of using the premise of the movie and apply it to Keep on the Borderlands: the Keep playing a similar role as Iron Town, and the Caves and its inhabitants as the woods and the beasts/spirits/kami. Using a...

It was always what I felt was lacking in OSE: a good introductory material and begginer friendly sections like examples of play. I hope it covers the same bases the old red box covered!

I'm running a dungeon loosely based on Icespire Hold (map below), but the book version is quite empty. Almost every room is just a description without any encounter or anything to interact with. So I was thinking: what if I use Tucker's Kobolds? The famous killer kobolds from that old Dungeon...

I saw it in the Glory of the Giants promotional arts. I'm not sure if it's inside the book too since I don't have it.

"Better" is a very relative concept. The book covers aren't bad per se. The artist, Billy Christian, is really competent and know how to do a good composition. See the examples below: But the art direction is lacking. If someone can prompt a human artist who know how to create good art to...

Maybe controversial, but if I released the paid version with real art, I would also replace the free version with a black and white PDF with the better formatting of the second edition, but no art (neither real nor AI). Two reasons: for many (myself included) the AI art is a downside and I would...

I haven't seen the new Dragon Delves yet but it's really good to hear WotC is improving their usability! I'll see if they have a free preview like the previous adventure compilations had.

I also think the user experience and general layout of games from publishers like Necrotic Gnome, Arcane Library and Questing Beast are a huge leap in usability when compared to the 5e era WotC books, but the definition of the 4th and 5th generations are too vague in comparison to the first...

I agree with you, as I said on my post I doubt they will include an actual Vampire City. But the thought exercise was fun.

I guess the "Vampire City" idea is actually doable, albeit I highly doubt they will include it that way (an actual Vampire City). (spoilers for Baldur's Gate 3 third act bellow): EDIT: just making it clear it's just a thought exercise and a idea for a campaign premise, I doubt it will be in...
