I would think about somehow telling the players that today is not the same as the other days in that there will be several encounters instead of just one big one. Maybe the PCs are given the information, but the NPC says that there are several other layers of defense to fight through before you...

So one could say that it is less than meets the eye!

I like the Littlefinger example from Game of Thrones (GoT). He works within the system only when he needs to in order to push his agenda. He acts mostly in secret since he is not as powerful or playing the game of pushing others in certain ways. He cares for little except putting himself in a...

I heard that the stuff never made it to the destination. Somehow it went away in the back of the truck.

I cannot seem to figure out your chart. There is no legend to tell me what the abbreviations mean.

I notice that the old items had/needed a lot of DM input or judgement. The new items are more player facing in that they are not left to the DM to interpret or make judgements on. They also took away all the bad gotcha stuff and made them more bland, but just a thing and not a game changer. I...

Since everything makes more sense with a meme.

I guess you could add all the DMsGuild stuff based in there. What about homemade games that take place there? Even if nobody but your table sees it?

I have been making maps with the online 1inch grid and found it to be fine. The players like it fine as well since it is no time to draw on the mat or look through the tile collection we have. Here are two pages that fit together for a swamp encounter with a road and campsite.

Jealousy hair. Since I do not have any.

I would love a new setting- to see what they are thinking then decide if I wanted to purchase. I likely would not end up buying it since I like the medieval fantasy and have Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms(ish). Dragonlance is a maybe if it was more supported and gave me less of some and more of...

There is another thread(s) going around about being the DM at a library and finding players. Then who shows each week and who does not. Then charging money or not. They are good and provide advice. Most are by @talien if you can search by his name. I think charging a few/five dollars is...

@AlexChenDM welcome to the site. I like to use a cockatrice or two. They are limiting enough but can paralyze and petrify you. I might pair them with a couple kobolds and have one in a cage that gets thrown and broke open. I have made it a neutral monster and attacked both the kobolds and...

Good luck. I see your charity this year is Tabletop Alliance. I do not know much about them directly, but have heard they are a good egg.

I thought it was TATTERS and thought, don't we have Tales already. Then I thought it was TATERS, and thought it was a cookbook (which would be cool). Nice to see a cool looking supplement.
