    D&D 5E (2014) What's your favorite one shot adventure?

    I have long held the opinion that some of those AL adventures from the first three "seasons" of 5E AL play were really excellent adventures. There's a great one from Season 2 (Princes of the Apocalypse/elemental cults season) where you start in an arena fighting pit and end up in an abandoned...

    D&D General Using the Deck of Many Things Tomorrow, Will I Blow Up My Game?

    The last adventure of my years long 4E campaign was Madness at Gardmore Abbey. It used the Deck in such a novel way I became such a fan of it from that time on. The inevitable card draws after the adventure's conclusion included some character banishment/imprisonment. These characters were...

    D&D General How Long Did You Play Only D&D Before Trying Another Game

    Technically played a few games of 2E in the late 90's, but I count my actual beginning with TTRPG's as 2012 when I started DMing a 4E campaign. Within that same year I began GMing a Dragon AGE campaign that lasted several years. The 4E campaign then shifted to 5E in 2014 and never looked back.

    D&D General Looking for Skype alternatives

    My group uses a commercial Zoom account one of my players has for his work, but as I read through this thread, it got me thinking that the Jitsi Meet platform might be a viable solution for many. About Jitsi Meet | Free Video Conferencing Solutions It's free, open source, web based...

    D&D 5E (2014) If you could run or play in any D&D 5e campaign right now, which would it be?

    It will be some time until I am able to run another campaign, but when I can I am pretty interested in Shadow of the Dragon Queen. I know it's seen as railroad-y and has some issues regarding well established DL lore, but I think it tells an interesting story with an epic conclusion (and one you...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    @Reynard another thought I had that might be more of an answer is to point you towards the YouTuber Oldegreybeard. He has a video (linked here) discussing the 4E GSL and the 5.1 SRD and what modifications he is making to create a 4E compatibles ruleset without having a 4E SRD released under a...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    I know I don't have an exact answer for your question, but something that I recalled while reading it may be of use to you, and if you know all of what I'm about to write, then apologies again. In 2015, Necromancer Games released a monster book called "Fifth Edition Foes". This was a year...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which was the most recent Wizards adventure you consider a classic?

    An official 5E adventure I've yet to see mentioned (possibly because it was digital only) is the Lost Laboratory of Kwalish. It was the Extra Life adventure Wizards released in 2018. I used it in the middle of a Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign when the party headed inland for reasons, and it was...

    D&D 4E What is today the best way to start D&D 4E (paid and free)?

    I have to agree with the suggestion to run Madness at Gardmore Abbey it's amazing. I came to 4E late in it's life and as we played a 2 year campaign we went through Keep on the Shadowfell and felt it was a long, combat heavy affair. We pivoted to the Orcs of Stonefang Pass, and while it was...

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    I believe they tried this once back when DDB was owned by Fandom (or maybe Curse?) It was called Legends of Runeterra: Dark Tides of Bilgewater. I remember reading it before it got yanked down for some license grievance. Had a little setting information and a short adventure too.

    D&D 5E (2024) What Licensed IP Do You Want For 5E?

    I found this unofficial Star Wars setting for 5E a while ago. My understanding was it was a fan project that's been ongoing for several years. Star Wars 5e The people who produced it also have a Mass Effect 5E conversion.

    D&D General Have you ever used Acquisitions Incorporated?

    Well, I know what my next campaign is going to be. That sounds like a ton of fun.

    D&D 5E (2024) Sigil Review Thread (+)

    We were having the same problem with that fog tool lol. We noticed it had weird interactions with other game objects too. If the fog was placed around objects that already existed in the scene (like minis) we couldn't select them after the fog was placed unless the fog was deleted, as noted...
