    D&D General What would you do? (Example from my game)

    Has things been telegraphed that there is stall a lot going on and it is dangerous? Are there less wandering monsters or sounds of bad guys moving about. Are there less patrols or changing off in distant corridors? Do the players have the right information? Sometimes I am not sure if I have...

    AI GMs

    How fast is this technology advancing and changing. What will it be in 1 year or 5. I see it as both good and bad. I have not tried anything as far as using it to do anything besides give me a few ideas for further development or for me to create an adventure, but it is coming.

    DDAL Organized Play Update: Forgotten Realms (and Legends of Greyhawk)

    I have an upcoming convention with a couple of these games offered. I have been trying to look at any official information and not seeing much. There is this LegensofGreyhawk site saying that they are the official site and some stuff on DDBeyond tying in and whatnot. The players guide does...

    D&D General Short folk appreciation thread – what do you play?

    I play halflings and dwarves. I always liked the Lord of the Rings and seeing the hobbits be the ones who create the story always had a soft spot. Some of the mechanics over the years also gave them some abilities that fit and were cool to play. I think over 5e years, I has a halfling rogue...

    D&D General How does spell banished work

    Sounds like an option people would try. I looked for a chart thinking someone would have made one to see how bad it would be randomly coming back to your plane. Might be a cool campaign getting banished back to the other side of the world and need to get home. I could not find a chart, but...

    Rules for Drunkenness

    I cannot recall the last time we used some sort of drunk rules in the game, likely 30 hears ago in high school. Now if the PCs want to get drunk and party it is just crossing some gold off and I have them tell me a 10 second story of the night and leave out details.

    D&D General Revisiting the Red Box.

    How is this much different than the new box set? I have not played it, but is looks like it spoon-feeds things to the players and the DM to start playing. Is there the offramp to go off and create your own stuff to add or create a whole new campaign?

    D&D General Fixing the Offense Tunnel Vision problem

    Last week the Pcs fought some of the new lamia monsters and their basic attack lets them force WIS saves of be charmed. There is also no text that says the PCs can make saves at the end of their turns, so it looks like they are charmed for an hour. This took out 2 PCs and 2 of the henchmen...

    D&D General How does spell banished work

    Some might depend on what edition you are talking about. Most of your questions are DM dependent though. the new 5.5e rules are below. It says you are incapacitated for the minute before you come back. If you are one of the special types listed you do not come back. If concentration...
