That's why the OSR exploded with awesome like it did.<br /> <br />Dark Sun, Ravenloft, Planescape, Kara-Tur, Al-Qadim, the Underdark... these are all highly anticipated by fantasy tabletop RPG fans, even those who aren't running D&D 5e.<br />Venger Satanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447932700800930510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-28650942270326352014-12-25T12:40:25.715-03:002014-12-25T12:40:25.715-03:00Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Blackmoor...no exagger...Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Blackmoor...no exaggeration.Doc Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783244633195233970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-7099511575456472322014-12-23T18:47:12.506-03:002014-12-23T18:47:12.506-03:00My blog entry from yesterday gives some ideas abou...My blog entry from yesterday gives some ideas about what I think they need to do. <br />I think that it all depends, when it comes to adventures, just HOW you make those adventures.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-41586756570707693832014-12-23T17:43:59.763-03:002014-12-23T17:43:59.763-03:00Funny, I am of the opposite opinion.

Players will always throw a monkey wrench into any pre-made story arc and suddenly a DM/GM has a choice: do I write up a scenario that puts things back on track, or do I go off-roading and make things up? If you choose the former, you have to railroad your characters into doing what the story needs, if you choose the latter, you may as well have written your own adventure from the beginning and saved yourself some reading time.<br /><br />Give me rich campaign worlds and settings. Give me new races and classes, compelling story hooks and amazing fantastical settings. In short: give me Eberron, Planescape, and Spelljammer. WotC can keep Tyranny of Dragons.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489783101001256790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-84611080804349904072014-12-23T13:41:51.473-03:002014-12-23T13:41:51.473-03:00I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.RPGPundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267330191433119298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-46932947704017840872014-12-23T12:40:41.331-03:002014-12-23T12:40:41.331-03:00Adventures, yes; settings, world books, and campai...Adventures, yes; settings, world books, and campaigns, please gods no they're always so awful and filled with Mary Sues.
