    That's an interesting idea. Ive wondered if others would find value/interest in it. I thought about writing something like that for Vermilion because I threw all these cool quests and tasks and the party decided to go save a sheep instead...lol.

    Heh, I love reading these quotes. I remember when first trying to publish something--The Willlowmere Vagabonds and The Nevermore Mines, there was this fear? or hesitation of basically summarizing the whole adventure in a paragraph or 2 at the very start of the module. It seems like that would...

    So The1True, Beoric and Squeen basically all said in a roundabout way that these adventures may not be used but was a good read. Are they a different bracket of 'adventure'? Why has everyone gushed about these adventures and yet no one plays them? Is there a play-by-play for any of these...

    I have a weakness for making wilderness maps. I use to many symbols....less is more, but my brain can't do it well, so I tend to make smaller areas, but then the scale may not make as much sense? Although...It may also not be me as Jon and I work together a lot and if its one we work on...

    Thanks Beoric! I just stumbled upon a video about 'how long should an adventure be?' The dude, Matthew Colville? was saying that adventures should be short, and not the big ones....and that he was surprised that most people on his twitch were just used to adventures being the big, hard bound...

    So Much Bad Design...

    Rumor/gossip table in my opinion is one of the most important things in a city or town to make it come alive.

    So Much Bad Design...

    I started to do that...read over all the old modules I had. I started to read A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity. I remembered it as a young player with fondness....but I read it and thought it was crap. There was stuff that just didn't make sense or missed opportunities for better design. My...

    My "Megadungeon"

    Bah...I think he said he was working on Lake of Fire or something awhile back... But the adventure I meant, which you probably have already is: The Lost Treasure of Atlantis - North Wind Adventures | DriveThruRPG

    My "Megadungeon"

    ya...I think for me it's: 10% ripped off material--I stopped buying materials for the most part so I don't steal off people--which I wonder if that hurts me as I dont get inspiration from others either. Chainsaw wrote a dungeon, Lake of Fire I think, and I bought that and was floored because I...

    This made me chuckle.

    5e - why you think it sucks, and why you're wrong

    No, not at all!! It's different here and none of my comments come from my experience on this forum, because we are discussing things instead of automatically labeling/judging. Ive always felt this place could be used as a platform where we may not agree with each other, and that's ok! Because...

    5e - why you think it sucks, and why you're wrong

    That makes sense. I think there is also stability--what I mean by that, is Ive been playing with the same group for 20+ years. We have a few players switch out once in awhile, but its pretty stable and diverse. We are in a bubble I guess, where we just don't really experience all the 'problems'...

    5e - why you think it sucks, and why you're wrong

    yeah...I've just never associated monsters with different races of people. It's super bizarre to me that it has even come up. In comparison, it's like me saying the monopoly pieces symbolize different races of people and is racist. Does that make you scratch your head? because that's how I feel...

    5e - why you think it sucks, and why you're wrong

    That's because animals are neutral....sorry, couldn't help it. No, I agree with you, evil doesn't have to be attack on sight all the time (that is akin to Chaotic Stupid). Ya...constraints on good guys....that's why its VERY difficult and challenging to play a paladin, despite their powers. I...

    5e - why you think it sucks, and why you're wrong

    Correct me if I'm wrong, and I can be very well wrong as I don't dig and study as much as all of you into this stuff. But there has always been a debate between a Railroad and Sandbox type style play....right? Me personally, I'm in favor of Sandbox play. Others can play however they want, as it...

    I have conquered Patagonia...about 70 miles hiked. The videos are in production (my friend adds music, etc.). I don't talk about D&D much in Season 2 though, and I think it may be a little more boring than the PCT, but it is absolutely gorgeous in Patagonia. Should be coming out in the next few...
