I have done this ad hoc with just an opposed roll to position the person you've grappled on your action and then those that go to attack you must attack at disadvantage or have a 50% chance to hit the shield. But it has only come up like twice so far.

I do the mini in a box variant because I am into painting minis lately and so far love it! But the whole Dungeon in a Box thing did not seem as much value for my needs. YMMV

I have long assumed (perhaps erringly) that even when people run APs they plop them in a homebrew or any version of a published setting they like rather than being beholden to where the book says it is. I am running Ghosts of Saltmarsh (kinda) but am not running in Greyhawk, just my own...

We crammed in an extra session this month under the assumption that with people getting vaccinated and things opening back up again (for good or ill) scheduling around people's plans (including my own) might get difficult over the summer. This session was mostly focused on wrapping up some...

Weird. I am older than you and I had something like 40 questions total!

The operative word there is "feel." Sure they know. They know the reality (as best they can and better than anyone) but they want to know how their customers perceive the brands. Edited typo to clarify what the heck I was saying

When my 2e "The Oath" campaign ended in a TPK in The Hidden Shrine of the Tamoachan, we followed it up with mini-campaign of adventures in the afterlife and them being summoned for a final battle on the prime material plane by some powerful cleric. I don't think we ever got to finish it, but one...

My old homebrew, Aquerra, and the myriad campaigns run there from 1989 to 2016, used the silver standard.

I'm guessing my answers suggesting that Magic the Gathering should go back to what it was like in the late 90s when I last played it with any regularity were mostly useless to them. :ROFLMAO:

Weird. The very last thing it asked me was age (I'll be 50 this summer) after getting to very nearly complete progress. I can't imagine that survey being much longer (felt too long as it was!).

I really like the "mythic materials" bit and may be good thing for me to adopt in the next game I start. I had very complex "masterwork weapons and armor" rules in my 3E games (which tended to be low magic) but this seems like a simple fix. Thanks! And good luck with your game!

In a couple of places I answer "Why do you feel this way?" with "See my answer to #X" because it felt redundant.

I think there is a difference between re-using a character you ran in a full campaign and re-using a character that you played once or twice but the game fell apart or whatever. In my Out of the Frying Pan campaign, two players started with characters they had made/played in a GEN CON one-shot...

Is it the Psychic's Handbook?

I really have no idea - But I get the impression that homebrewing is less common and AP play is a lot more common and dominant approach. But that may just be my old man defensiveness shaking my fist at a cloud. To me the adventure path was the disparate modules we played and the friends we made...
