Hey Mearls! Long time Fan! (we actually met at Winter Fantasy one year.) Make sure to post your patreon when you get it up and running. Love to hear the new ideas!

Perhaps? I don't know anyone personally or met anyone (after Winter Fantasy 2016) at the cons that ran in the eXperience track that was pissed at the lack of swag. Maybe there were a couple who were exceptionally vocal I didn't see. I do know many who were pissed at the lack of quality and...

Afaik, wotc supplied all the swag at origin. As soneone who has been on the vip track several times before, the experience after wf 2016 went downhill. Swag is nice and all and i dont care if its gone. the forgettable adventures just were too expensive for the exact same experience other pkayers...

In a heartbeat. The book itself is really well written. The giants section is a great read that clues you into the culture. And the NPC's at the back are much better examples of "high level" NPCs than some in the MM. There is even a Kraken Priest. Basically, a lot of tools that you can use to...

They discuss giants in greater detail in Volo's guide. It explains that most giants are illiterate, especially hill, frost, and fire. Even if Harshnag is a literary genius with common, there isn't anyone around that can teach him ancient giant runes. speaking a language =/= reading. Especially...

I'm also interested in this. Also I'm wondering about adding in Against the Giants (which starts at level 11) before dealing with Iymrith. Or possibly after. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

At an AL table I totally allow things like awakened mount because that's fun and and more interesting than some random mechanical feat. Granted you have to be able to cast said spell. AL already suffers a bit from people who treat it like a mechanical gear grind like WoW (More optimization means...

Until we get some reviews, I'm going to hold off. I would love to get a set for my table but $30+shipping is a lot more than I expected to pay for it.

As of Season 5 ALDMG you are allowed to adjust adventures beyond the guidelines given in the adventure. Granted you can't give more than the maximum. Sometimes adventures need adjustment because something slipped through during playtesting. Participating in several DDAO adventures, Frequently...

fyi, picking pockets isn't an attack or spell so would not break invisibility.

Personally, I feel putting so much emphasis on creature death as xp helps push people towards min/maxxing. My players had a tremendous time playing Death House because they didn't feel they had to kill everything in the module in order to get milestone xp. So we ended up having a bigger variety...

Man, I feel like these admins need to get paid and then get bonuses. I feel bad for them.

Coming from the person posting bad reviews and badmouthing the piece without asking for justification first.

Edited: I'm just going to remove myself from this conversation but don't know how to remove posts.

Well when they update that 20 year old book into 5e and will have to see how they describe them then. Either way, I would love to know how you would quickly and concisely describe a culture without any reference points. Lastly, last I checked the Vistani are the protagonists. (Which are...
