    D&D 5E Protecting and enhancing a baby carriage

    An orphanage is very much a last ditch effort because of the circumstances around the child coupled with my warlock's history. Long story short: kid has a supernatural history and people I don't trust are paying too much attention to her. Warlock was an orphan and was raised very, very poorly.

    D&D General Essential monsters?

    Thanks! Those look great for random things that don't get used often on a mat, such as townsfolk etc. Interesting. I don't have any of the pre-made adventures. I wonder if they're leading up to something.

    D&D General Essential monsters?

    I think we've had a druid in the last 2-3 campaigns I've been in, otherwise I'd agree completely. They're mostly there for wild shape options rather than enemies. Good call! Another person in our group has a bunch of the cardboard standups. We can use those when needed. I've got a few I pulled...

    D&D General Essential monsters?

    I'm buying a chunk of minis and am wondering what people see as essential monsters to have at least one or more miniatures for. What do you consider essential? What do you see in a fair number of campaigns? Definitely : The various humanoid types, bandits, maybe some important townsfolk such as...

    D&D General Good source for various humanoid minis?

    Thanks, all! https://www.auggiesgamestore.com/ has a ton of stuff which is easy to search and buy piecemeal. Now to figure out which ones to get. :) work gave me a $200 gift certificate for 10 years so I've got money to burn. :D

    I'm nowhere near Toronto. Unless you consider Texas within your driving distance. ;)

    D&D 5E Protecting and enhancing a baby carriage

    Definitely. It's a city adventure with more social stuff than combat so less dangerous. That said, my character was taken in as a child and raised to be an assassin / spy (think shows like Nikita, Red Sparrow, etc.). She's insanely protective of children and this particular baby has a history...

    D&D 5E Protecting and enhancing a baby carriage

    Step one seems fairly easy. Steps 2 and 3 not so much. :D

    D&D 5E Protecting and enhancing a baby carriage

    My warlock in our current Eberron campaign has adopted a baby. She has a baby carriage that moves via Tenser's Floating Disk. It's basically the floating carriage from The Mandalorian except bigger so my imp familiar can hang out inside to entertain and protect her. I'm trying to think up ideas...

    D&D General Good source for various humanoid minis?

    I've got a bunch of WizKids minis from the various sets and like them. My only issue is the randomness. Is there a source for decent quality pre-painted plastic minis where I get a bit more choice? I'd like to collect an assortment of random humanoids since those get used a lot more than...

    Looking for advice l: competition between adventuring parties

    Hoping for advice: I'm looking at the next leg of our campaign being a "race for the MacGuffin" scenario. The PCs (Rolemaster) have been chasing an evil sorceress for a while now. I want to let them catch up but put them in a position where they can't actually kill her. I'm thinking she's...

    What props or other immersive things have GMs used that were cool?

    The one I'm most proud of was a crumble vellum diary in a D&D campaign. An NPC traveling with the group had been with them for years but was actually a polymorphed dragon they'd screwed over long ago. and by "screwed over" I mean "tortured and sold to an evil wizard for experiments." Due to...

    What are your favourite single game mechanics?

    Thanks! I'll try and figure out a way to port it to Scion. I really like it and it would relieve me of the need to say, "well... you DO have epic Intelligence, so it's possible you brought that..." and then not know how to handle it in other situations.

    What are your favourite single game mechanics?

    I used to lull my granddaughter to sleep talking about trigonometry. 😂 Though inwraopen it in Native American myth before getting into the actual math.
