I ran a Tier III game (CCC-QCC20176) last Saturday at the local open AL meet at my FLGS. We had over 60 people signed up to play and as expected I had no trouble filling a table. We had a great time as usual but keeping the challenge interesting at this level meant overclocking the encounters...

Here's this month's WotC Survey, just for AL. http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/adventurers-league-survey

So the Gamehole Con 'State of D&D' podcast mentioned a big AL survey going out this week. Any news on how that's going to be done? I assume as a standard D&D web page survey akin to the ones done for UA?

I think it's awesome. It really pops out at you. IMHO it's better than JACP (Just Another Cover Pic).

A quick shout out for Gamehole Con in Madison WI, beginning Thursday 11/2. There are over 60 AL tables in place and I know many posters here are attending. If you have a chance, come by and join us!

The Planar Ally spell allows the caster to bind a fey, fiend, celestial or elemental to their service for up to 1yr+1day and 1000gp as 9th level spell. So for some casters you can potentially have a large number of powerful servants in their thrall. Any DM guidance on this possibility? How is...

The AL FAQ (as downloaded this morning), with regard to Permanent Magic Items generated from Treasure Table rolls, still states... DM's should never award permanent magic items in this way, including (but not limited to) permanent items with a limited number of charges... However the SKT AL...

I'll be running PHLAN1-2 (from Baldman) soon. My copy from DM's Guild does not have clear info on what party level this adventure is optimized for. Anyone know? Thanks!

With Gamehole Con coming up I'm considering trading in a couple of uncerted items picked up by characters in CoS and SKT. Is that allowed? If it is, do I show the rep the player log entry when doing so? Thanks!

DMs - how do you handle the following circumstance? A PC is reduced to 0 HP and falls unconscious. Wizard targets their unconscious body with Polymorph, transforming them into a large beast at full HP. There is a clause in Polymorph saying the transformation lasts for the duration or until...

I know that my wizard can only cast a 1-action cantrip if they use a bonus action spell in a turn (Action Surge not withstanding). However can I use a bonus action spell and a wand in the same turn? Many wands say something like ... "use an action to expend one of it's charges to cast the...
