    D&D 5E Scarab of Death - A Mystery Adventure for 10th Level Characters

    I ran this online and it was a great oneshot - good example of an adventure for a smallish group. The map addon pack on dmsguild is handy as well. see them in action here: https://www.youtube.com/live/IAPQjdQGx4U?si=8cZAtspZ8sjXS12a

    D&D 5E Enhancing and running City of Eyes (tier 4 ravenloft cosmic horror)

    We've now encountered the Spider - Groblets - which was an epic battle. With the height Groblets can fight from, regen and such a high AC its unlikely to fare well for any party. To cut things short I had Grobblets shift attention to two wounded PCs awaiting the main group further below in the...

    D&D 5E Enhancing and running City of Eyes (tier 4 ravenloft cosmic horror)

    I added a random encounter as the party made thier way from Ciceros (or the crooked house): As you move through the city you see two grubby Children clapping hands together in time to a childrens rhyme: "Grobbly Wobbly spider climned up the water spout, Down came the rain and washed poor Grobbly...

    D&D 5E Running Rime of the Frost Maiden

    D&D 5E Running Rime of the Frost Maiden

    Agreed! its in the initial quest but is more of a long-mid term goal for tier ones. 3rd level is fine - as is 2nd if you have a larger or min/maxed party. our party encounter is available at about 3hours into this youtube clip. I tried all the tricks with misty step and interposed roughnecks...

    D&D 5E Soulknife Knack problems (Is it incredibly powerful?)

    D&D General Unpopular Opinion?: D&D is a terrible venue for horror

    i beg to differ - try solace of silence or the city of eyes both high ranked horror published adventures. The official stuff cant delve too far past pg13 due to target audience

    D&D 5E Running Rime of the Frost Maiden

    I started Rime of the frost maiden two weeks ago by using the DNDbeyond encounter of the week ad a means of bringing a disparate group together and leading them north. They all have their secrets as another reason to go there as well. While i was running Descent into Avernus I was listening to...
