    who do you want to see create sword coast content ?

    Modding, modding, modding. Skyrim and Neverwinter Nights set the standard for modding. People created entire continents, and created their own 3D models, etc. Look at this, a Beholder for Skyrim. http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/559256-beholders-for-skyrim/ If they don't allow...

    D&D 5E Am I the only one that dislikes Adventure Paths?

    I Hate em. What happens is the adventure path has a cool idea, and maybe an awesome part, but winds up mostly filler! I say publish all sorts of range of adventures, and if a DM wants to find a way to link them, great! I've seen a million posts on this website, asking something similar to: "Hey...

    D&D 5E Reasons Why My Interest in 5e is Waning

    If they brought back DUNGEON Magazine it would solve one of these huge issues; lack of adventures of varying lengths and levels. I don't want super-long adventure paths, those only work for extremely long-term friend groups where one person is the DM for years at a time. They've also too...

    D&D 5E The fall from grace of the longsword

    D&D 5E What lowish level Dungeon Magazine adventures work well with 5E? (issues 1 - 150)

    So, Chris Perkins, superstar Dungeon Master, and also long-time editor of Dungeon Magazine, put out an article in the online Dungeon Magazine which was an Index of all the adventures. I don't have it, it's online and I cancelled my DDI subscription. In that article though, he had a running...

    D&D 5E Help! Getting My Group to Thundertree (Lost Mine of Phandelver)

    Simple, you have a big dangling loose end: Iarno. The map is the key. Gundren is currently captive in Cragmaw castle. Just have him not have perfect memory of how to get to Wave Echo Cave. He needs the map to get to Wave Echo Cave. Have the map be already picked up by none other than... Iarno...

    D&D 5E Gamma 5, fan made Gamma World 5e.

    This is quite awesome, and seems like a lot of work by the people who made it. It's got an entire Bestiary

    D&D 5E I have the DMG!

    Flanking! It's a big deal... Are there more details? Does it give Advantage on attacks, or something like +2 to hit. Does it say if you allow flanking, you should also change opportunity attacks, since it's so easy to move around creatures? Thanks

    Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Game

    5 out of 5 rating for Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Game For around $20 this comes with everything you need to play. It's a perfect way to try out a ruleset. My friends and I enjoyed it a great deal. It comes with the dice (the most important part!) these cost $12 all on their own. It...

    D&D 5E Against the Cult of the Reptile God: advice

    WARNING SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this module. There were things that jumped out when I ran it, that I didn't even think of when I just read it. I didn't realized that almost everyone offers the party wine, and the party starts to get real suspicious of the wine. The first person they...

    D&D 5E Advice for Running 5E -- Your Experiences

    One of the main things I forgot is keeping track of who's Concentrating on what. The Evil Wizard cast Hold Person on the Fighter. The Fighter kept failing his saving throw and was paralyzed and could do nothing. I felt bad for him not having a fun time. The entire time the party was attacking...

    D&D 5E Help picking Cleric domain: war vs life

    Everyone always forgets about Hit Dice. Let your party spend Hit Dice. Don't waste your spells on healing them! I had tons of fun with War domain cleric. Mostly the only healing spell I used was Healing Word. And only to get people up who were unconscious. Don't play the healing just-in-case...

    D&D 5E How would you continue this? (Lost Mine)

    I think it often helps to think of D&D as a Movie Western. The town of Phandelver is a frontier mining town. Imagine the players are mini Clint Eastwood's in morality terms. What would Clint Eastwood do? If this was a Western what would the town do? Everyone's afraid of the Redbrands. In a...

    Module with a good map

    Well Ravenloft is probably hands down the greatest D&D map ever created so just keep in mind everything else will pale in comparison. You could try out the "Halls of Undermountain" the 4E product. I think it is awesome, easily convertible, lots of pathways and things to explore, npc's to...

    D&D 5E What is best company for dice?

    Chessex is hands down the best quality. They have some really cool out-of-print colors and swirl combos that you can still find on ebay. Crystal Caste is poor quality, they look cheap next to Chessex. Gamescience is a scam. You ever walk by one of those guys on the street selling his new...

    D&D 5E D&D5E Duergar PC Race Suggestions

    I would give them all the Dwarf stuff like +2 CON plus this: Ability Scores: +1 to choice of one other. Darkvision: 120 ft. Sunlight Sensitivity - disadvantage on perception checks and attack rolls on things in sunlight. Duergar Resistance: advantage on saving throws against illusions and being...

    D&D 5E Can you retry a failed skill check? How long?

    Thanks, that makes sense and is easy. It seems there is a huge variance from individuals in answers to this. I looked in the PHB at climbing, they make no mention of "if you fail a climb check by 5 or more, you fall". However, there is that line in the Starter Set adventure on one of the...
