Hi all, Starting a campaign as DM with a new troup, and as part of the character generation, I allowed the party to buy from the standard equipment lists, plus anything else not on the list that they felt that they needed. When I do this, normally a party will ask for mapping materials, maps...

Op back again - so next week is the week it happens. The party have made their way up the tower where the BigBad is at the top - they are one floor from the top, ready to head up. And here is what I have decided... I am going to late fate decide (cowards way out), but also give them a...

After the reveal (in a v.large caven), the BB generates a large number of the undead laughs', says something along the lines of "play with my pets for a while, I have other things to be getting on with" then escapes down a secret tunnel. There is a battle, but 95% of it was the PCs verses the...

Not for me. Each time I play this campaign PCs have died (just out of luck) including with this group. I do have 'back in points' I add when this happens and let them roll a new PC (at a lower level than the rest of the party) and introduce them back in the story. For this group, one of them...

All, so people have talked about the clues and were they obvious enough..... so..... 1) The BBEG is the first NPC they meet, pretending to be all nice and stuff (even gifting them equipment) - they meet them in the BBEGs house 2) After some adventuring off on side quests, they discover the...

About that - twice a week with day long sessions. But they will need 3-4 weeks to get through the maze, and then another week to get up the tower, and one more week for the final battle.

Actually, I am being a fool. In my story, the heart is in a different location that they never traveled to, and they know nothing about. I could just add an 'obvious' secret room in the tower and place the heart in there. they work out there is a secret room, find the chest with the heart...

One thought that comes to mind based on what others have said, is that in the main 'town' of the story (where the PCs have spent a lot of time), there is an Inn with a barkeep who is an old adventurer. they spent a lot of the time in the Inn planning. I could bring the Inn Keep back.... he...

I cant do this, to get to the big bad, they have already passed through a big war going on between goblins, orcs and men (where they controlled the troops of the men for a while until one of the party had search the various rooms of the keeps looking for the secret door which leads to the big...

Hi all, I am between a rock and a hard place in my current campaign. The party playing my adventure missed a whale sized clue, which means that when they face the 'big bad' at the end, if I play it by the campaign story, they cant win - they all die in the end. I have played the campaign...

All, In case anybody is reading this and uses my s/sheet, a new version has been posed on the above link. A new TAB which generates a random NPC with name, stats, weapons, flaws, equipment, etc. Based on the '1000' NPC character sheet list, but with the additional elements from the Dungeon...

OP here... I have put it to a player vote - with options to (a) continue as per normal minus the 1 player, (b) still do a session, but shorter in duration up to a 'key' game part or (c) reschedule. So far, its 3 out of 5 for (b)

So, I am into week 4 of a D&D online session (roll20) with me as DM, and next week is Easter... and one of the players cant make make it... what is the right thing to do? The character is stuck in a tricky position with a party of 5 seperated by a pool of acid - and we ran out of time. But...

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to add my own thanks.. its a great tool. I really hope you dont mind, but I have taken your builder, and expanded it with a few more sheets from other resources - I have added a 5E spells list, a character tracker for DMs, a random treasure...
