The OP alerted me to this module existing and is very thorough, so I thought I'd follow up with my experience going through this module with my Bard player. Short version: Buy this and run it for your arcane caster if you are using Dragonlance! Bard's Test results She chose the Red Robes of...

That is the actual playtime. I record the sessions so I just added up the recording times. I do include the players' recap of the previous session in the recording, but I would say that's 1-5 minutes. I also checked how much time they spent on each floor. Pardon my rounding. 7% - Floor 1 9% -...

Finished The Lost City yesterday. My players really enjoyed the Zargon social encounter. Instead of having to give any treasure to him, they outwitted him and evaded a couple attacks to make their escape. I also had a pinch-hitter for the final floor because of some scheduling uncertainties...

Shadow of the Dragon Queen had a kinda weird summary of Soth's story. I guess I can give this book points for relaying as many gory details as possible. Great story for the kids. 😂

I think they should be brave and add a Solamnic Knight mustache to that gooey Soth head. The Nosferatu remake was in 2024, crazy undead mustaches are back in!* *Though I actually recall a large number of people hating the mustache in Nosferatu...

Early Access launched today. I have to finish RE9 before I can try it but here is the info. Trailer - Roadmap - EA launch blog - Solasta 2 EA ancestries: Human Elf Dwarf Halfling EA classes (full details for class/subclass here) Fighter Wizard Rogue Paladin Sorcerer Cleric edit: Though...

It was a second Session Zero so we could discuss expectations as the campaign resumed.

The DM did burn out in 2021 so there was a ~1.5-year break. Then we picked back up and, well, this is our progress. We just added a new player. He will be introducing his character on Saturday. The "2-" is because this is Arc 2 of the campaign. There was also an Arc 1. The DM believes we will...

I figured Lord Soth was there because of his brief stint as a Dark Lord, meaning he will have a section in the Ravenloft book. But he is also positioned at the intersection of MORE TO COME and TO BE ANNOUNCED which is very unfair to my predictive ability. He is also cropped from a larger...

The staff made me laugh because yesterday I was looking up some Common magic items to put in a shop for my players and this is one that I found. I decided to not put that one in the shop because it was too silly. The Dread Helm however is definitely not silly, and will be very available for...

Here's a few answers I noticed from this one: Is homebrewing going to be updated/made easier to do? We’re first focusing on the Game Platform rebuild, which will unlock greater customization. We definitely intend to make homebrew easier. It’s too early to talk about when and how we’ll support...

Had a fun combat last night with some 2024 ochre jellies vs. a Level 4 party. The jellies have more HP and are also a bit faster (10 -> 20 ft) than their 2014 version. They can now use Split upon becoming Bloodied, and not just when hit with Slashing/Lightning damage. My players don't have...
