There's a great review of the D&D 5 module Horde of the Dragon Queen over on tenfootpole.org - check it out.
What is fun about this review is that it is critical, but very constructive and imaginative. Kudos to Mr. Bryce for writing this, it highlights great (and not so great) adventure design, and player motivation.
It also highlights some important differences between 5E, OSR games, 4E, and even Pathfinder in terms of character power and advancement. It is a great "thinkers" piece just in comparison of everything out there, and it does get you thinking about where your personal fantasy gaming preference lies.
It is an excellent read for anyone interested in adventure design and critical thinking about your preferred playing style. Check it out!
RPG and board game reviews and discussion presented from a game-design perspective. We review and discuss modern role-playing games, classics, tabletop gaming, old school games, and everything in-between. We also randomly fall in and out of different games, so what we are playing and covering from week-to-week will change. SBRPG is gaming with a focus on storytelling, simplicity, player-created content, sandboxing, and modding.
