    D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

    I would LOVE to see someone run a 20 room (8 filled) engaging, fast, furious dungeon romp that can be completed in a session.

    Fantasy Grounds Is Going Free To Play

    (Partially) Eliminating the financial barrier to running games via FG is a good start, but the real key to making FG ubiquitous would be to get it on tablets and/or in a browser. Installing software beyond an app seems to be quite the barrier for folks. I think they would do well to figure out...

    D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

    I would argue that 8 medium encounters does not "sing" in 5E. It is likely to be tedious. I suppose there may be some specific combination of 8 medium encounters that one could make "sing" but it would have to be highly curated, which means it is a lot of work. This is to say that whatever the...

    D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

    I'm not sure I see how 5E is especially dungeon focused. It is certainly heroic fantasy focused, and you can do that in a dungeon, but what rules in 5E make it hardcoded for dungeon play?

    I am interested what you think in 2E mechanically is too story forward for dungeon crawling.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    The "Power Lunch" idea is coming together. this is the draft of the con blurb: Every day is the same at evil megacorporation Orth, Inc: Spreadsheets. Meetings. TPS Reports. Or, it was until an unexpected trip on a restricted elevator took you down to a whole new world. Now you spend your lunch...

    D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

    My idea is that the "torch timer" will be replaced by "lunch hour" and there will be consequences to being late back to your desk!

    D&D General What D&D Would You Use For A Dungeon Focused Campaign?

    I am circling back to an old idea I had called "Power lunch" where the PCs are wage slaves at a corporation like Wolfram & Hart from Buffy that sits atop a hell mouth, which essentially leads to a megadungeon. They realize they can spend their lunch hour delving for things that will help them...

    D&D 5E (2024) One Store's Sales (D&D 2014 & 2024)

    I am also a little surprised at how few (comparatively) copies the adventures sell -- even heavy hitters like Strahd. Huh. Neat. Thanks for sharing.

    D&D 5E (2024) One Store's Sales (D&D 2014 & 2024)

    Is your historical data easily accessible? I am mostly interested in the curve of those 382 PHB sales, because I think that will tell us something about when the D&D spike really hit.
