I'll give him this: at least it's real art as opposed to digital.

I haven't run a TTRPG in over a year and I'm thinking of recruiting a new group to run a new campaign. The last one I ran lasted over a year, combining Phandelver + Storm Kings Thunder until it fizzled out around the middle part of SKT. I prefer to run a pre-made module - it gives me something...

So what this this means is the new ranger won't be in the new Xanathar Guide. There will be ANOTHER crunch book coming out probably next spring that will add more sub classes...uh...I think?

My guess is a 5e version of Planescape...or at least something that involves plane-hopping and focusses on the full D&D multiverse...so there will be a Greyhawk adventure, an Ebberon adventure, Greyhawk...even some ties to the MTG multiverse. A lot of the upcoming classes seem to hint at...

I like to DM like I'm the priest, not God. The rules are God, they are the final word. I think my players appreciate that as well. I can make a judgement call to move stuff along but if we choose to take the time, the actual rules answer will always be waiting for us in the books. As a group we...

Yeah I just mean the 1e mods included in there.

Curious if anyone would ever try this...(I don't have the amount of players or the time!) Like back to back playthroughs of the original adventures using the 1e ruleset and then the new Yawning Portal versions using 5e. I'm asking because in the last few months I started thinking about trying...

So still running my first ever 5e adventure (Phandelver) and last night we came across a few situations where we were a little unclear on the rules (I moved it along fast with old school "rulings" but as someone interested in the system I'd like to see how these would work BtB) The situation...

Running my first adventure in decades and having a blast. My skills are very rusty - also running the game for intelligent wily adults I really have to stay on my toes. I'm looking for some "how am I doing/what should I do next" advice. The players are using the Starter Set pregens, so they...

Everyone this is very good advice, thanks for all the friendly/useleful input.

I thought about this actually - they were anxious to save Gundren but I let the Redbrand encounter lead them to the manor...I was worried Cragmaw Castle would be too brutal for 2nd level...did you have to tone it down?

I'm running D&D for the first time in over 20 years and I've started by learning 5e and running Phandelver. We've played two very long sessions - the PCs cleared the first cave, hung around Phandelver a bit, fought some Redbrands at the Sleeping Giant and are about to enter the hideout. My...
