    D&D General I would like to adapt the module Die Vecna Die using ShadowDark system. I foresee a problem thought I think, expanded below in comments.

    Interesting, I will definitely have to continue reading the book I haven't gotten all the way through but had a random thought about it. Your suggestion of fitting the 2e module into the SD range might be a better way. Some context I should include is that I just finished a CoS 5e campaign...

    D&D General I would like to adapt the module Die Vecna Die using ShadowDark system. I foresee a problem thought I think, expanded below in comments.

    The new ShadowDark system caps out at level 10, the adventure Die Vecne Die goes to level 13 I believe. I was wondering if the math breaks down after level 10 or if I can have my players continue pass and continue to select talents from the list??

    Dragonlance Have a lore question about Dragonlance, about the gods and magic expanded down below for my question.

    After the cataclysm the people believe the gods left Krynn and that meant no more clerics. The mages however still had access to there magic I am not sure if this was explained on why they still had access to it? If someone could explain or point me in the direction of a thread that explained...

    Dragonlance Has anyone incorporated Heroes of Krynn boardgame into their Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign

    Battlesystem that great, eh?? I've not read or used it I just know it existed. As for the Scenarios I would say not very long as long as people are quick on their decision and understand the rules enough. There is a timer built into it so that once you do X amount of turns if you do not...

    Dragonlance Has anyone incorporated Heroes of Krynn boardgame into their Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign

    That is unfortunate to hear I can definitely see some people not liking the board game aspect. For me was the opposite reaction, I'm also an avid board-gamer and I like the game as a stand alone game. I had one player who was not into board games like the game. We played the first 2 scenarios I...

    Dragonlance Has anyone incorporated Heroes of Krynn boardgame into their Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign

    Sorry for the late reply little while ago I sat down with my players on an off dy and cracked open the game it went really well and we agree that it would work good with the campaign. After some thought I think I am also not running the module since it is a side event to the main story. I plan...

    Dragonlance Has anyone incorporated Heroes of Krynn boardgame into their Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign

    Good day fellow DM's a player of mine purchase the boardgame and module and gifted it to me as a thank you for well being the DM. I was very touched by his gift since he knows I am a huge Dragonlance fan. As the title suggested I was wondering if anyone has attempted to incorporate the board...

    D&D 5E Armor idea would like some feedback was inspired by Nerdarchy video on armor that was posted on YT recently. " D&D Equipment: Armor Sucks! Let's Fix I

    I can see that re-calculating damage after every hit can possibly be complicated or to much booking in that point of view but I'm starting to think having durability might be to bothersome but just to be more of a flavor thing when the players reach a habitable area to get their stuff repaired...

    D&D 5E Armor idea would like some feedback was inspired by Nerdarchy video on armor that was posted on YT recently. " D&D Equipment: Armor Sucks! Let's Fix I

    Could you give me a break down for your armors and how helmets, gauntlets and such would add DR? I am very curious about that since in 5e those items essentially do nothing would be interesting to know what you did ?

    Thank you for your reply it has definitely given me a pause and time to reflect and that you are right that the rules and from my own experiance can lead to a domino effect with other rules lol. I have tried other homebrew rules and in the end they end up being forgotten and not used, they...

    So based on this table and what you described that AP is like temp HP so on a hit the armor would take the blow first then HP except on crits ? I posted on reddit and others have pointed out that perhaps AP would be to complicated in the vain of 5e design so perhaps just opting to While you...

    Ya a die roll can complicate things and slow things down a little, a flat rate might be better but at the same time I would not have so many variants had and idea to have heavy armor be 4 damage and medium be 3 bludgeoning, piercing and slashing

    Wanted to make heavy armor Strength base builds feel more tanking if that make's sense? Want to reward them since in D&D dexterity is considered a god stat
