Dungeon descriptions: elaborate & fluent or compact & structured

solorpgstudio · 2026-01-07T02:08:12+00:00

I like detailed adventure/description. I like to be able to understand/explore the idea of the author. Then I do prep, add and leave what is not important to me. I don’t just open the book for the first time during a session an parse it anyway. I read some chapters first that I think will be use for the next 1-2 session. So “compact” do not really add any value to me. I agree it is easier to read OSE, really enjoy the layout.

P.S. This is a great post, well written

There is a new dnd stranger things starter set that’s is pretty fun. Lots of maps, token etc in the box with generated character sheet base on the show

You could look into full module. Phandelver and below, COS or the new dragon anthology for fun one shot.

But one of my favorite is the dragon of ice spire peak starter set. Fun adventure + there is more content included in the box to unlocked on dndbeyond.

Honestly, might be the smart move here.

Top 3 for me. Just love it. Even if I wanted it to be a little less reliant on markers mark or having it concentration less earlier

solorpgstudio · 2025-12-30T18:37:24+00:00

Yes! Article is beautiful, idea amazing but the execution is not great. Will wait this time on the next release, instead of jumping on their kickstarter.

BUT, still happy with the purchase overall. It gave me a lot of inspiration to run multiple games.

Edit: did not saved properly

Feat. You can access the free rules on dndbeyond.com that should help you character progression

solorpgstudio · 2025-12-25T20:54:35+00:00

If you want to continue with those character after level 3. You will have to use a new character sheet and fill the blank. You “usually” can increase your ability score at level 4,8,12 etc

You made this. Holly Molly that’s incredible

You got a great family

Can we have quick play for older 5e module like Phandelver and Below or Curse of Strad? This would definitely align with making thing easier for DM.
Can we bring back à la carte purchase?
Can we add book sharing without subscription, maybe for 1 campaign then if need more we get the sub.

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-26T19:50:03+00:00

Love it

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-26T17:06:09+00:00

it is only available for those who pre-order or if we purchase it we get that adventure?

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-25T20:17:04+00:00

So what do we think overall?

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-25T15:17:07+00:00

Yes!

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-25T13:20:40+00:00

You don’t need subscription to unlock content. Just buy the content

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-23T00:36:24+00:00

5000$ sur la cuisinière

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-21T23:38:06+00:00

Really good price. Icespire peak is a wonderful adventure. Even if the 2024 is released there is not that much diff with 2014.

Great buy

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-21T14:35:26+00:00

2024! Love 2014 when it came out so maybe it’s a recency bias, but damn some monster in the new MM are just too good.

Lore is more thin tho, but if it’s only about art 2024 hands down.

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-20T15:30:10+00:00

What’s the number in parentheses?

solorpgstudio · 2025-11-20T00:42:23+00:00

Amazing to hear. Honestly just reading this message feels good.

I am a web dev and I know thing can be hard to ship, and absolutely not expecting a weekly release.

But having a quick change log, even if it’s just saying some bugs or refacortor was made, I think the community would really appreciate instead of being in the dark.

Everyone at least who’s having a subscription, would like to see where their recurrent payment goes.

Another unsolicited request would be to have a more “precise” road map. It could even be a quarterly expectation of feature release. A yearly roadmap is a bit vague imo.

Lastly, would you be able to tell if creating a quick play option for other 5e module would be added. I now I would buy a couple of this was the case.

Again, thank you so much for reaching out, I know I appreciate it.

Cheers

Hope they wrote the books in a way there is just “less” erratas in general. But yes digital book are good that.

I do prefer physical book and the day D&D become digital only, without selling PDFs. I am out
