    D&D General DMs...How do you end a campaign in a satisfying way?

    Last week I ended a campaign. It was the second long term 5E campaign that I've ended. The first campaign was 122 sessions and took the PCs to 20th level and 7 epic boons. The end was satisfying in that none of us had actually completed a 20th level campaign. The climax was a rather turgid fight...

    D&D 5E Help me build an epic final battle with Tiamat!

    I'm nearing the end of my first 1-20 5E campaign. The player characters are about 10 sessions away from facing off with Tiamat in the (hopefully) epic finale. The PCs are 20th level with multiple epic boons and a robust set of magic items. When it comes to tactics, they are middle of the...

    D&D 5E How do I run a zombie horde?

    My players will be facing a horde of 50 zombies. I don't want to slow down combat by rolling each individual attack, tracking hit points, and so forth for each zombie.

Does anyone...

    D&D 5E Anyone have practical experience with the latest UA Ranger?

    D&D 5E Young dragons are appropriate for what PC level?

    I'm working on a campaign about a dungeon that is contested by five dragons--young dragons. They are striving against each other--and the PCs--for control of the dungeon. As stated in the Monster Manual, these are the challenging ratings of each chromatic dragon: CR 6 - Young White Dragon CR 7...

    13th Age Warlord + Escalation Die from 13th Age

    First post! Count me among those who would like to see a 5E version of the warlord. So here goes. This warlord has a limited number of features, but those features create a large number of choices each round. I think it’s ideal for the player with an interest in tactical combat while remaining...
