I always forget I have tales from the old margrave because I only have it in PDF form

The prepared books are great recommendations.

Ahh, I no longer use the X-Twitter. But I already backed WEL and FM, so that’s no big deal! I also love the adventure modules to plug and play into my sessions. It makes the adventures feel grainy and pulpy, like having a serial adventure play with the characters getting into hijinks.

Now that’s the kind of Disclaimer I genuinely love. Blunt. Honest. Appropriately Place. Really appreciate your transparency. Love the video too! Recommendations: One Shot Wonders. (Roll and Play Press) and Adventures Await! (Benjamin Palmer) Both great books filled with one shots / adventures across multiple levels.

@7:10 - I really wanna see that Ptolus and Monte Cook video! Oh and remember, the link for the high res maps is in the bottom right of the playtester's page! Don't try to cut those maps out of the PDF or something crazy like that! I need a page of Adventure Hooks to clip to my DM screen. Can you make us one of those? Also, I thought I was subscribed and I wasn't, so thank you for forcing me to look. I already have the book so give it to someone else. I'm too old for twitter anyway! There are a couple more Anthologies I like but I haven't really gotten into them as much as I would like.. Rolled & Told was in a small FLGS and it really started me back up into D&D. I didn't know people were still playing! Also, the kickstarted adventure for Loot and Lore/Lairs and Legends.

@thiseffingm 6 ай бұрын

I did not know that about the maps!!! Thats some solid advice. And thank you for the subscribe! Hm. DM Screen Adventure Hooks is a fun idea. Funny enough my next video is going to be ABOUT dm screens in a way lol

William have you ever tried running adventures from campaign anthologies using a different system from what it was written for?

@thiseffingm 6 ай бұрын

Yeah! I convert a lot of stuff. My current ongoing game is a LevelUp A5E game that I am converting from an old 3.0 game.

@mrmeech17 Thanks for the giveaway! I love adventure collections. I often just read them to mine ideas, even with no plan to run them. I've been reading a bunch of old Dungeon magazines lately and they are a wealth of information.

@@thiseffingm Oh, and to actually engage with the topic a little better, have you checked out some of the books Matt David from Dicegeeks has put out? I have bought.... I think all of them up until this point, and I've found them to be some of the most helpful books I've ever used in terms of just populating a blank corner of my world. Heck, I have a campaign I'm running right now that is openly "randomly generated", and 99% of said generation comes from those books! (And the insane collection of weird dice I own, I need to actually make a video about those sometime. lol)
