    I ran this online and it was a great oneshot - good example of an adventure for a smallish group. The map addon pack on dmsguild is handy as well. see them in action here: https://www.youtube.com/live/IAPQjdQGx4U?si=8cZAtspZ8sjXS12a

    D&D 5E Enhancing and running City of Eyes (tier 4 ravenloft cosmic horror)

    We've now encountered the Spider - Groblets - which was an epic battle. With the height Groblets can fight from, regen and such a high AC its unlikely to fare well for any party. To cut things short I had Grobblets shift attention to two wounded PCs awaiting the main group further below in the...

    D&D 5E Running Rime of the Frost Maiden

    there are more great parts of chapter 1 and 2 that can be played in a single level through unless you significantly slow down advancement: standouts for me were: <get to level 4> dark duchess black cabin id ascendant, althorugh Id get swap the ceremorphs for real mind flayers lost tower of...

    D&D 5E Running Rime of the Frost Maiden

    Agreed! its in the initial quest but is more of a long-mid term goal for tier ones. 3rd level is fine - as is 2nd if you have a larger or min/maxed party. our party encounter is available at about 3hours into this youtube clip. I tried all the tricks with misty step and interposed roughnecks...

    D&D 5E Soulknife Knack problems (Is it incredibly powerful?)

    I have a soul knife in the party I dm and we knew knack was going to be a problem. A lot of the prior discussion revolves around using it to discover whether a threat exists. I am grappling with opposed checks here. A stealth roll sets dc for other to find them. Or conversely passive sets a...

    D&D General Unpopular Opinion?: D&D is a terrible venue for horror

    i beg to differ - try solace of silence or the city of eyes both high ranked horror published adventures. The official stuff cant delve too far past pg13 due to target audience

    Hi All, I am focusing on areas for the group where I have made specific deviations from the book as written for consideration.

    D&D 5E Running Rime of the Frost Maiden

    I started Rime of the frost maiden two weeks ago by using the DNDbeyond encounter of the week ad a means of bringing a disparate group together and leading them north. They all have their secrets as another reason to go there as well. While i was running Descent into Avernus I was listening to...

    D&D 5E Enhancing "Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus"

    I have used a non-combat adventure as a means for the party to gain entry to the bleeding citadel gates without Lulu. Essentially the Gargauth knows that the gates can only be bypassed by the purest of hearts. He knows and by means of an infernal contract can send the party to a ravenloft...
