I really appreciate you giving me a more defined basis for what the player should be at by each chapter, I definitely think giving level-up milestones rather than XP would help a lot in this situation. But you don't feel giving the player a very high initiative and letting them go between each...

So recently I picked up Out of the Abyss, and have a few questions on DMing when it comes to travel rate and time management. I am someone who prefers a more narrative game with less focus on mechanical aspects. That being said, would the adventure be drastically affected if the travel pace...

Why thank you for the suggestion, I'll definitely need to check them out after I finish this campaign up!

Oh yes, thank you for clarifying that Li Shenron, and thank you guys! You really helped me out immensely. Jeff Carlsen, that was a really good example for me, and you even explained what happens when a weaker version of an effect lasts longer than the stronger one, I really appreciate it!

Does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts based on this? I appreciate as much help as I can get!

Thanks for the reply! Well I guess that's what I seem to be stuck on then haha. The way I'm reading the errata, it seems like its intent is to stop the exact same spell/class feature/feat/racial trait/monster ability/magic item from being used multiple times simultaneously, rather than the same...

Hey guys! I started a thread with a question on some of the DMG errata, I was initially going to post it here but there is a lot to it. A couple people replied, but I could still really use some clarification, so if anyone could give this a look it'd be much appreciated...

So this is a question regarding the errata entitled "Chapter 8 Combining Game Effects (p. 252)". This states: This is a new subsection at the end of the “Combat” section: “Different game features can affect a target at the same time. But when two or more game features have the same name, only...

I want to thank everyone for all the help, I really appreciate all the ideas and suggestions! This all has given me some new insight on how to handle things, and I'm happy to hear some people have had positive experiences with low player campaigns. This is all also especially helpful since the...

Thank you for the input! Originally there was a lot more people available to play when I went out and bought the materials, but people moved, got jobs, etc. That being said, I'm already invested and intent on playing this with my friend, even if I am going to have to edit many things. I'm also...

Hi, let me start out by saying I'm a fairly new DM, and as the title indicates, I have a very small potential gaming group. In total I have three friends to play this with, but due to conflicting schedules, I am only able to consistently see one. I originally wanted to create my own campaign...
