Seriously though, I wish I could do Gen Con. I actually checked out the flight cost though, and hooooo-weeeeee.
I'm about to start running TBH, myself, after I get done hacking it, myself. The fun thing about looking at such a compact form of D&D is that certain things stand right out. Like, "Speak with Monsters 6th level, while Plague, and Raise Dead are 5th?" Whoa.
I want PCs speaking with monsters ASAP, really. How did a friend put it?
"By the time you're casting 6th level spells, you've killed so many monsters that all you'll have to chat about is genocide. It should really be called Apologize to Monster."
Anyway, I wish you well, and wish I could join you.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.
Will you be running it there?
ReplyDeleteOff books for the guys I'm going with. However, time permitting, I was thinking about running it with The Black Hack for anyone that wanted to play.
ReplyDeleteIf I can make the time, count me in.
ReplyDeleteSoooo goood.
ReplyDeleteRan it for 3.5. Converted on the fly.
Me too. I'm sure I could convert to 5e on the fly too. I'll probably sit down to write the stat blocks and say...hmmm...yeah...fuck it.
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted to try out Black Hack, never had the chance yet.
ReplyDeleteI for one, am shocked that 5e does not have default rules for dire geese and child sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteShameful oversight.
ReplyDeleteHere's your chance!

Paging Brett B because, dead babies.
ReplyDeleteSo, is One Thousand Dead Babies in print, or only PDF?
ReplyDeleteIt is not currently available in print. Some print copies are still floating about. Also you can just print the PDF.
ReplyDeleteSure, but then I don't have an actual, factual book that was professionally printed, and says One Thousand Dead Babies on the cover ; )
ReplyDelete"What the, how the, who the f-ck?", says a neighbor who's over to borrow a cup of sugar.
Thanks though!
That's probably what I shall do given the way market dynamics affect scarce things.
