    Hey Mearls! Long time Fan! (we actually met at Winter Fantasy one year.) Make sure to post your patreon when you get it up and running. Love to hear the new ideas!

    Price Disparity between AL and PFS at Origins.

    Perhaps? I don't know anyone personally or met anyone (after Winter Fantasy 2016) at the cons that ran in the eXperience track that was pissed at the lack of swag. Maybe there were a couple who were exceptionally vocal I didn't see. I do know many who were pissed at the lack of quality and...

    Price Disparity between AL and PFS at Origins.

    Afaik, wotc supplied all the swag at origin. As soneone who has been on the vip track several times before, the experience after wf 2016 went downhill. Swag is nice and all and i dont care if its gone. the forgettable adventures just were too expensive for the exact same experience other pkayers...

    D&D 5E Enhancing "Storm King's Thunder"

    In a heartbeat. The book itself is really well written. The giants section is a great read that clues you into the culture. And the NPC's at the back are much better examples of "high level" NPCs than some in the MM. There is even a Kraken Priest. Basically, a lot of tools that you can use to...

    D&D 5E Enhancing "Storm King's Thunder"

    They discuss giants in greater detail in Volo's guide. It explains that most giants are illiterate, especially hill, frost, and fire. Even if Harshnag is a literary genius with common, there isn't anyone around that can teach him ancient giant runes. speaking a language =/= reading. Especially...

    D&D 5E Enhancing "Storm King's Thunder"

    I'm also interested in this. Also I'm wondering about adding in Against the Giants (which starts at level 11) before dealing with Iymrith. Or possibly after. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

    The Nature Knight, how would this work in AL - How would you rule it?

    At an AL table I totally allow things like awakened mount because that's fun and and more interesting than some random mechanical feat. Granted you have to be able to cast said spell. AL already suffers a bit from people who treat it like a mechanical gear grind like WoW (More optimization means...

    Adventurer's League Faction Kits

    Until we get some reviews, I'm going to hold off. I would love to get a set for my table but $30+shipping is a lot more than I expected to pay for it.

    Ravenloft Al modles Jasper questions and rants. Spoilers

    As of Season 5 ALDMG you are allowed to adjust adventures beyond the guidelines given in the adventure. Granted you can't give more than the maximum. Sometimes adventures need adjustment because something slipped through during playtesting. Participating in several DDAO adventures, Frequently...

    D&D 5E Third Level Thief Ability

    fyi, picking pockets isn't an attack or spell so would not break invisibility.

    Have we failed to discourage min-maxing?

    Personally, I feel putting so much emphasis on creature death as xp helps push people towards min/maxxing. My players had a tremendous time playing Death House because they didn't feel they had to kill everything in the module in order to get milestone xp. So we ended up having a bigger variety...

    Man, I feel like these admins need to get paid and then get bonuses. I feel bad for them.

    DDAL Racism and DDAL4-1 [Spoilers]

    Well when they update that 20 year old book into 5e and will have to see how they describe them then. Either way, I would love to know how you would quickly and concisely describe a culture without any reference points. Lastly, last I checked the Vistani are the protagonists. (Which are...

    DDAL Racism and DDAL4-1 [Spoilers]

    I find it interesting that you automatically assume that the Gur are gypsies because they steal and are nomadic.

    Need for AL-specific rulings of CoS

    Yea Perkins (AFIAK) favors milestone xp to tell a story without turning the PCs into murderhobos. So it isn't a surprise that Death House is that way too. There isn't any reason for the PCs to fight a shambling mound except for XPs.

    Now That's a Can of Worms!

    Not sure if you are addressing me or not. But it sounds as if the new ALDMG (and possibly WotC's stance) is being more lenient in terms of adjust encounters. "You can adjust the adventure beyond the guidelines given in the adventure, or make other changes as you see fit." Not saying go wild...

    Now That's a Can of Worms!

    Also, in the new ALDMG "You can adjust the adventure beyond the guidelines given in the adventure, or make other changes as you see fit. For example, if you’re playing with a group of inexperienced players, you might want to make the adventure a little easier; for very experienced players...
