The exact situation is that in my Dungeon of the Mad Mage game, my players come across a coven of sea hags in an underground cavern... ...and so we’re rolling initiative next weekend for battle. And they’re already discussing tactics which is cool...but one player wants to cast lightening bolt...

In my weekly Dungeon of the Mad Mage game (online via Discord/Owlbear Rodeo), everyone showed up, and we immediately proceeded to roll initiative against some starving goblins, bugbears and 2 ettins. then once like the first round of combat was over, one of my players had to go handle family...

In my DotMM campaign, the party fought some super stealthy gricks, and this question came up by one of the players: "Do these gricks have eyes?" as a semi-good DM, i responded with "i dont know."...which i dont....the picture doesnt seem to have eyes, yet they do have darkvision, but not any...

Im running the Dungeon of the Mad Mage slog, and on Owlbear Rodeo (which is a fantastic VTT by the way!), i accidently uncovered more of a non-lit corridor well mainly because i honestly wasnt paying attention to vision. I did tell my players when they delved into the dungeon that it was unlit...

Normally, i dont like large scale dungeon crawls for in-person D&D...but i'm starting to think it might be well suited for online D&D with like Roll20 or whatever... Even during in-person play, storylines while some very interesting can still be hard for players to decide on what to do, or...

We're playing Waterdeep Heist (5e), and one of my players got his brain "eaten" by the intellect devourer in the sewers via the Body Thief ability. I dont necessarily want to kill this PC, so i decided to just have him play his character normally, and as DM be able to take control of this...

My player is a half-elf warlock of the Undying named Idril. For the purposes of the game, her class is a 'witch'. She has a human mother and elf father, and her entire backstory is that her family is a 'coven' of vagabounds (loosely called "coven", but so far, has nothing to do with hags)...

I had a TPK with a medusa boss some time ago. The players made new characters, leveled up, and ultimately took out the medusa...which is fine, of course. They want thier old characters back, which i am not totally against, but the players think that killing the medusa would un-petrify everyone...

One of my players wants to play a young girl... ...the exact age wasn't really specified but this player saw a cool pic online and thought it would be a great idea to be a child prodigy ready for an adventure. By the looks of the picture she saw online, it looks like the child is probably a...

Hello again! In the last session of my Tomb of Annihilation, my group fell victim to a TOTAL PARTY KILL! (Characters have died in my games before, but this is first TPK ever after decades of DMing!) Despite that, they all still had a good time and want to continue with the game. However...

Hello! I'm not sure how to handle this. In my Tomb of Annihilation game, the players and several factions are looking for an NPC named, Artus Cimber, and more particularly, the 'Ring of Winter', which is a very powerful magic item that I'm sort of afraid to let the players get a hold of and use...

This weekend's session was an absolute blast! The PCs decided on a group name: the Swift Swords. Smoke, the tabaxi artificer, who just joined the Church of Savras (god of divination) Indril, the female half-elf warlock (death patron) Azari, the wood female elven monk (friend of Syndra...

Welcome to another edition of Klaw's Tomb of Annihilation post-game show. This is really in reference to session #3 this weekend. (No conflicts arouse from session #2). Before i get started, heres the player line up again: - Laucian, the moon elf ranger from the Emerald Enclave, - Gank, the...

I've never done a story time, but i don't mind objective feedback from time to time. I'm a veteran DM playing since 2nd Ed. I just wrapped up Out of the Abyss, and now, I'm running my first session of Tomb of Annihilation. Of course, i always make sure to gauge how my players felt, but bring...

Stroke of Luck is pretty good, but i don't think that a 20th level rogue would be able to use Stroke of Luck to tame a demonically possessed red dragon (by Graz'zt) in our epic finally boss fight this upcoming weekend. He wants to use it sort of like an ability check akin to Handle Animal...

This thread is specifically for those DMs who have decided to allow third party source material in their games. We are starting up Tomb of Annihilation soon, and a few of my players want to be monster races from Volo's Guide (which is fine), and even new classes from Unearthed Arcana (what the...

Ive been DMing for many years now, and enjoy it very much. I just finished up Out of the Abyss, and it went great. However, it almost felt like we were "power gaming" by the end of the adventure path. As I normally do with almost all my games, I allowed my players to roll their stats at the...

With our group, we try to play weekly, so that everyone is immersed in the game, and we can look forward to kicking butt after a tough work/school week. everyone in the group understands and agreed to make this a sort of committment, but we all understand that emergencies happen, and things...

Not sure if this was brought up before but, it seems that both Tales from the Yawning Portal "greatest hits" book and the upcoming Tomb of Annihilation adventure path feature the infamous Tomb of Horrors dungeon in thier books. Tomb of Horrors is presented in the book, Tales from the Yawning...

Hope this thread isn't too ridiculous, but ive seen worse... Anyways, Im kinda excited about the new upcoming adventure path, and wanted to get a little thread going on how you think Tomb of Annihilation will start...? I mean Curse of Strahd had "the Mists"... Out of the Abyss threw you into...
