    Hey, thanks. I know this adventure has been . . . um . . . controversial for some people, but we have been enjoying the heck out of it. Perhaps we are just too green to know better :) FreeTheWeasl

    D&D 5E Mounted Combat Questions

    Thank you for your advice. I believe that you are correct. I was being too liberal with the Mount's dodge action, and I see that it really only applies to the mount and not the rider. As I mentioned above, the Goblins do have a bonus action Disengage which is going to make calvary tactics...

    D&D 5E Mounted Combat Questions

    Greetings People often misinterpret my handle "FreeTheWeasel" as something less than wholesome. I like your interpretation better since it is much more menacing in a D&D way. In truth, it comes from an incident during college. I was walking my pet ferret on a leash across an open courtyard...

    D&D 5E HoTDQ - Went way better than expected

    Wow. I think I need to roll a constitution check against blushing. Ok. That was too nerdy a joke even for me. I do want to point out that I read quite a bit and stole a great deal of fantastic ideas from others. I can't thank them all individually, but hopefully, they'll all read this thread...

    D&D 5E HoTDQ - Went way better than expected

    Hi RevTurkey I certainly appreciate your concern about the module. I have been very excited about the story and also a bit perplexed. Whether it is right or wrong, I have enjoyed the "opportunity" to insert my vision into the story. Here is how I plan to run the rest of the module when we...

    D&D 5E HoTDQ - Went way better than expected

    Thank you very much. It was the most fun I've had with D&D since the olden days. I found that I've been really excited about sharing this story with the kids. That was the problem with my previous 4e group. There was too much side table chatter. The games took forever because people (mostly...
