The infamous Pathfinder is undergoing an edition change in the nearish future. Some of the changes are maybe pretty good. Over at his blog, Daniel has written up his thoughts about how you can use some of the more interesting changes in your 5e D&D game.

113 – Hexcrawls, Tomb of Annihilation, and Hot Springs Island

March 1, 2018March 2, 2018 / gg no re / Leave a comment

We discuss how hexcrawls can be compelling and how they can fail, exemplified in Tomb of Annihilation and Hot Springs Island.

Correction: Jacob contacted us to clarify that, while he did do all the layout himself, the art was done by Gabriel Hernandez, Eric Quigley, Cecil Howe, Billy Longino, Jason Thompson, Juan Ochoa, and Ron Guyett. And two others helped with the writing: Donnie Garcia and Evan Peterson.

108 (ggnoRE:PLAY) Tomb of Annihilation – Part 1

January 1, 2018January 2, 2018 / gg no re / Leave a comment

We start up a side-game of WotC’s newest module, Tomb of Annihilation. It’s a remix of Tomb of Horrors and Dwellers of the Forbidden City. Daniel’s running this because he knows it’ll be easy to run and not take a ton of time to prep because he doesn’t particularly care about getting everything right!

So listen in and see what it’s like to run this with very little prep off a laptop opened up to DnDBeyond.
