    D&D 5E High seas one shot adventure

    I am going to run a D&D 5e one-shot toward the end of December. Is there any material out there to run a Seven Seas type of adventure for 5e? In other words, high drama but not gritty and dark?

    Need armor enhancement for shape-changing fox character

    I'm playing a Kitsune in a D&D 3.5 game, and I'm looking for a magical armor enhancement that lets my humanoid armor change with my character when he changes from his humanoid Alternate Form to his natural fox form. I have access to most of the D&D 3.5 books and I think there's something better...

    Freeform initiative alternative

    I encountered this interesting way to run combats when I was playing an Living Forgotten Realms session in GameStorm. The DM would notify which characters go before the monsters. Whoever spoke up first could go first, but if he stalled at anytime, the DM would then ask the other active players...

    Hiring a ritual spellcaster

    Suppose you wanted to hire an NPC to cast Transfer Enchantment for you. How much would this cost? I didn't see this option listed in the Player's Handbook or the Dungeon Master's Guide. Are there any rules about hiring someone to cast a ritual for you? If not, how have you handled this...

    Please troubleshoot my rules wording for prone and move action:

    "Failure: you fall prone and lose the rest of your move action." Is this redundant? Can you think of anything you can do with the rest of your move action after it's been interrupted by becoming prone?

    House Rules: If I show you mine, will you show me yours?

    Here's my first draft of my 4th D&D house rules. I would appreciate any thoughts on them, and I would also like to know what house rules are in the 4th edition D&D games you're in. Action Point Instead of taking an extra action when you can spend an action point, you can use one of these...

    Please verify: you can threaten while unarmed.

    As far as I can determine, you can threaten, take opportunity attacks, and be a flank buddy while unarmed in 4th edition D&D. Correct?

    Looking for terrain-generating software.

    Is there any software that will generate a terrain for a standard large battlemat? Something random, but logical. I like using terrain as a DM, but have trouble coming up with cool battle scenes.

    Sneak Attack and Uncanny Dodge

    From d20srd.org: So, my question is: does uncanny dodge negate sneak attacks when are in a situation that denies your dex bonus? It seems like it would. I want to be sure.

    Tumbling in full plate

    I have read in the past that there is a video somewhere in the internets that shows someone doing acrobatic maneuvers while wearing heavy armor. My google-fu is weak today. If someone could provide a link to this video, I would appreciate it.

    Tell me about the Free City of Greyhawk

    I'm running Shackled City and my players need to go to a metropolis to buy and sell major magic items. Of particular interest to my players would be anything specific to Pelor, Kord, or Wee Jas.

    "Christmas roll" Certificate

    Last year, I gave my players a Christmas roll. I took the idea that my DM had used in the past of giving each player a re-roll opportunity in his game each Christmas and transformed it into something geekier. I gave one of the following certificates to each of my players in my D&D game this last...
