Roll 4d6 drop anything over 18 was what we used for years in AD&D. And we still TPK'd between 5-8 level.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh is coming out Tuesday. The fall adventure will be announced sometime this weekend.

I have the 2011 Compendium but nothing from 2012 which includes the 3 missing.

I was a bit surprised that Warding Bond is only available to Clerics. I expected it on the Paladin and Ranger list. The errata seems similar to my proposed fix that everything gets Mount action economy minimum (Dash, Dodge, Disengage).

For Organized play, especially for characters that only get play time at Cons the accelerated advancement is nice. Levels 1 and 2 taking a bit longer is more like a normal non-OP experience with the game (previously characters would skip level 2 entirely with a 4 hour module). You can start a...

Characters get Downtime when the ACP are assigned (5 per 2 advancement checkpoints). I think renown is awarded as well (by Background). It isn't tied to the DM reward directly but when the DM assigns the ACP and TCP.

Doesn't look like an official warlord or companion/mount upgrade rules are in the cards. I still think some general optional rules in an upcoming book could get us close enough until 6th edition. (HD bumps for significant NPCs and a general 'free' action economy equivalent to the Mount...

Looks like there is an item which could be convertible to gold in each Tier. Medium Armor 2 T1TCP (Tier 1 Treasure Checkpoint) = 375gp or 187.5 gold per TCP Heavy Armor 3 T2TCP = 750gp or 250 gold per TCP (Supreme Healing Potion 8 T3TCP = 2500gp or 312.5 gold per TCP) Level 9 Scroll (Wish) 8...

I'd make it the same as Haste. When your frenzied rage ends - lose a turn. And then be a little more of a stickler on conditions that end rage.

Some of the Art. Maybe some maps, monsters, and NPCs. Like PF 1.0

Given the importance of SIM and 'rules as world physics' it seems like 3 actions would be a hassle for every kobold, goblin, wolf, summon, etc. and on the flip side adding complexity for creatures that normally have multiple attacks beyond the 3 of the standard '3 Action' economy. This is...

I never had a player ask. Currently I DM AL so it isn't an option.

I try not to treat hit point loss as injury but sometimes I can't help myself. Sometimes wounds happen.

I allow using an action to perform what is normally a bonus action provided the character still qualifies to take the bonus action in the first place. For example a monk couldn't Flurry of Blows twice in the same round. And the limitation on spells still applies (cantrip only with a bonus...

The main things to talk about for 5e are house rules and future rules. Neither of those is particularly relevant for AL. Most questions are calling for 'Official' clarification and that works better on the official Facebook groups.
