Bane of the Shadowborn: Ideas? :)

Hey, all! Toying with the idea to run "Bane of the Shadowborn" (Dungeon Mag #31) some time later this year - likely, as my usual yearly Halloween game, something like that. Nothing deep or particularly ambitious, just a BTB-run of the adventure, likely with one of the more basic modern D&a...

Re: FoS Discord

I'm interested in this. What would be the Discord's name, or, do you have a valid invite?

Re: New Ravenloft Adventurer's League campaign

Yeah, interested in that one. Might be worth digging out my old Ravenloft dice, even. :)

Re: Ravenloft is back in 5e?

She also misinterpreted some of my tweets about Mentzer and assumed I was defending him, flamed my viciously, which also led her followers to harass and attack me for several days, driving me off Twitter and into a very, very deep depression spiral where I withdrew from gaming entirely for several ...

Re: Ravenloft is back in 5e?

Is she, though? I've never heard of her before Drinnik's posts a few pages back. I'll admit I don't always have my finger on the pulse of things, but here's a list of the PF works she did from wikipedia: Strategy Guide, Inner Sea Races, Planes of Power, Inner Sea Faiths, Heaven Unleashed, Was Ewig ...

Re: Ravenloft is back in 5e?

I think you're conflating a few things here. Of course I'm conflating things - I'm not voicing my opinion, I'm describing the situation, and Price's general behavior, as I understand it, and I'm using irony to blunt the edges a bit. I think, at least. - Now, I'm going to go out on a limb, and say, ...

Re: Ravenloft is back in 5e?

As a gay man, I welcome more gay NPCs. But I want new gay NPCs. I don’t want gender swapped characters, I don’t want old characters rewritten. This is what I mean by creatively bankrupt. It’s changing the old and claiming you’re a great writer for doing so, when your new product is demonstrably wor...

Re: Ravenloft is back in 5e?

Okay, I have to object the constant references to "that woman". If we're going to really sink to sexist comments, let's at least consider another POV on that situation: https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/6/17541318/guild-wars-arenanet-jessica-price-peter-fries-fired-reddit Further, Price has...

Re: Ravenloft is back in 5e?

I have very little faith in this book, particularly when I found out Jessica Price was involved, a woman fired for not being particularly good at her job and said it was because she was a woman. https://medium.com/@ColedOne/jessica-price-is-not-a-martyr-for-workers-rights-cd43ee8ffe43 Make no mista...

Re: Ravenloft is back in 5e?

I'm pretty surprised about how negative the overall response to the announcement has been: Good or bad, it rejuvenates this very community here, and it gives the setting another twenty years of lifespan, if we're lucky. Like, to put this in perspective: If you started playing with the "Realm of...

Re: Ravenloft is back in 5e?

Oh, by Hextor, I make my yearly visit to the Frat, and it's --- right into the drama. Me, I'm super-happy that RL is making a comeback. For me personally, this means that I can be optimistic about me keeping an understanding of what D&D is all about beyond my own gaming table, in the years to co...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: This just happened! (DMsGuild)

I'm not sure if there's a better one. WotC could do their own, but they're allergic to directly taking money and their web design in the past has been poor. And the next time they upgraded editions or website, the content would be 90% dead links. One Book Shelf/Drive-Thru RPG has been around a whil...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: This just happened! (DMsGuild)

Yeah, that's absolutely true. If you're a designer , DMGuild is no good. If you're a fan that throws some ideas and want to share them, DMGuild is good. :) Fair enough. :) My problem is, perhaps that I am not the right guy for that more casual approach. In my opinion, if you invest the 50 to 300 wo...
