A friend of A friend of mine won one of those writing contests and they published her adventure. I own a signed copy

One of the reasons my current game is a B/X dungeon dive is i started to realize the players weren’t really into the stories. Maybe less the half actually where. They just wanted to move things ahead and get it the next road sign. So stop all the story bits that barely mattered. There is the...

Are we talking Objectively or Subjectively?? 😉

Labyrinth Lord mentions that anyone can attempt things but it’s usually 1 on 1D6 of a chance. A thief can find the trap better… eventually. Or listen at the door better. Etc etc. elves and dwarfs getting 2 on 1D6 for certien rolls of course.

Only one I’ve watched but yeah it’s fine. Love the trivia stuff thrown in during play.

I mean I’m not trying to gate keep anyone but it’s just a fact that those of us who have played other games for a larger amount of time have more experience and reference than someone who’s only played 5E for the past 5 years. That has nothing to do with if someone enjoys just 5E. More power...

I can't imagine what a 5E mega dungeon is like. I remember when Rappan first came out and how it was so deadly, but that was D&D more or less. Like wouldn't the "Superhero-ness" of 5E water it down? OR does it have special rules to give it back more of it's edge?

Darn good novel at all.

You left off the next sentence "Which is fine, as long as people are having fun."

I don't think they are lazy or stupid. I think they aren't good adventure designers. They must have their fans though because WotC keeps paying them and releasing their products. Though I'd say that says more about the current fandom perhaps. Of course when the majority of players don't...

True I can only look at the final product, look at my own complaints and those by a myriad of others who post their own complaints via reviews and come up with an opinion on the quality of the product and work out into it. It’s true I was not physically in the room with them when they made...

As mentioned, you have to add it that they release 1 adventure ever few months as opposed to the olden days when it was one or more a month. If you are only going to make one adventure every once in awhile and market it as your next big release, more effort needs to go into it.

I can't actually list 5 because I've either run official adventures or played a different game. With 5.5 rapidly approaching I'll probably give it a go, but what are some good non-WotC adventures. Let's avoid remakes of old adventures and stick to stuff that wholly a new idea. The only one...

What’s funny about Strahd is it isn’t wholly created by modern WotC. It’s a remake of an old adventure. I’ve seen people love the updated remasters of the old modules but when it comes to a whole new original adventure they bungle it. Not always of course but when you put out 1 adventure...

WotC bungled another adventure book. What is going on over there?

Man, those hole jokes in the OD&D video. Woof.

I had her reroll her stats and keep everything else the same

LL uses a different tier. Possibly from BECMI? Plate is 250. Best starter you can get is AC 4 at about 75 gold plus another 10 for a shield for AC 3.

It's Large figure Troll sized. Works just fine as a Troll mini more or less.

I find the combat fine. AC is definitely king. You don't want to get hit. And most of the front liners get to AC 3 pretty quick if not start out that way. Add in Dex bonus and/or eventually plate and they are fairly topped off at level 1 until they start finding magic gear.
