If we have more kids I would totally go for a stuffed Owlbear instead of a stuffed bear as a toddler toy! It's a corporate reorg, so the name is just that - a name. We'll see what changes about their actions.

July to July, it looks like they went from 2500 users down to about 1900. A 20%+ drop is not healthy. I think it has to do with 5.24 and the botched (forced) rollout. I suppose they have more internal data.

I read the first 200 pages of Justin Alexander's book and then told my son he could read it. He's about 80 pages in and just DMd the sample adventure. Aside from misreading a "this tunnel is 180' long but we're not drawing that out" measurement as "there's a pit you have to cross" it went...

One of my players has been attending by Discord the last couple of weeks. He recently had a terminally ill family member move in with him. That family member went on hospice recently with a very short time left to live. He was late logging on to the game last night after making the drive home...

Time travel to the past!

I have the 2014 monster cards and thought they were great until I realized that they didn't include any of the beasts or NPCs. I did just realize that they're an alternative that I can sort and hand to my kids after pulling out all the yucky stuff that they are not ready to see (devils...

I've been with the same company for 21 years (I'm 42, so...) but I think a 4-5 year turnover is pretty normal.

My son is having fun playing his 2014+Tasha's Beastmaster. His bear has its own mini and everything. It goes down sometimes, but since it scales with levels, it's up to 65 or 70hp and AC 17 at this point. He can also use its bonus action to have it attack twice for 1d8+7ish (don't recall)...

Hurray!

I might want to add THP on too. A lot of the monodrones, duodrones, etc. have sub-Fireball level HP if I recall correctly.

The average on a d20 is 10.5. Half of the rolls should be 10, and half of them should be 11. Perhaps the Modrons get the 11s and their opponents get the 10s? It's a slight edge while maintaining something approaching statistical fairness.

That does sound fun. My other problem with the Modrons is that they are all very low CR in the MM.

There was a great "how to do an epilogue" discussion about 4 years ago that I used to help shape the ending of Against the Idol of the Sun, but I don't remember enough details to find it. Include a Fallout-2 style ending recap where you give a few details about what happened to all the major...

Eh, probably not. The only WOTC-written adventure I've ever played is RHOD. I may start him with a few short one-shots from the DM's Guild, but he and his little brother have been doing their own adventures together for several years, including a long running "button quest" with buttons, their...

Is that due to adult content (language/concepts), or just length?

Thanks everyone. It sounds like Justin Alexander's book is going to be the way to go.

If your 11 year old wanted to be a DM, what is the one best resource you would point that kid to? I know there are several books out there. There are also a number of websites, although some (Angry DM) are not child appropriate. I'm specifically wanting something that covers the basics of...

Here's how my dragon encounter went. This is in my Baldur's Gate II game. The party is 14th level: Cormak (storm cleric), Ludwig (arcane trickster), Mergand (Bhaalspawn sorcerer; crits on 19-20, heals with magical kills, etc.), and Korgan (13th level Champion fighter). They have a lot of...

I've never had the time or interest in painted minis... I use minis for my players and flat tokens (Dice of Rolling/Etsy) for enemies. I get tempted to pick up enemies from time to time, but I never use just ONE mind flayer - then I need a bunch, and then I need more, etc... I will confine my...

Druids basically already have the "spellcaster of the natural elements" covered. At mid to high levels they give up the plant and animal focus for "force of nature" blasting. They have fog, storm, wind, tornado, firestorm, several mediocre-to-bad earth attack spells (creating difficult terrain...
