What about an Umber Hulk who has found its way into the hideout via the old crevasse? Would that be too much and lead to a TPK? I wanna seem them sweat a little. (Also about the Umber Hulk...does its gaze count as an action or does it affect anyone who it looks at? The MM seems a little unclear...

So I'm running Phandelver for the first time (I'm loving it and my players are loving it) and I'm now starting to get comfortable modding the module a little. Currently they are all third level, and they are already starting to overpower encounters (there's five of them, playing the pregens)...

Support for previous editions. Specifically, an OSRIC type book for 1e that is essentially OSRIC but without any modifications to the tables. All of AD&D 1e in one handy, well organized book.

Is this the first 5e supplement besides the core books that is written by actual WOTC employees in-house?

Which it was a box with a pull out map and cool handouts. Instead of a book with maps that go into the gutter unless you break the spine.

When are they going to announce 2016 releases? And/or an actual product made by WOTC and not outsourced?

The weird thing for me, as a consumer anyway, is that they make these modules every few months that are for stores only. Why not make a series that's for home play? Not everyone wants to commit to going to a store and playing with strangers. Modules or even connected adventures would be so much...

Thanks!

I'm returning to tabletop gaming after decades away, mostly attracted to the siren song of 5e, but honestly after spending time looking at everything out there Pathfinder - despite all the warnings about bloat/math/complexity - feels like the more appealing franchise because of the sheer amount...

Lots of ex-3.5/4.0 switchers here but...has anyone ever switched from 5e to PF?
