Just popping in to say that the session on Saturday went really well. Some of the ideas shared here inspired some great encounters and a lot of fun. I appreciate it. Can't wait til our next session! Sent from my iPhone using EN World mobile app

Solid ideas! Many thanks! I might replace the orcs with more Duergar. Maybe. Trying to think of a more sinister purpose behind the encampment. hmmmm

Hey All, This will be the 2nd time you guys have come to my rescue. I'm already indebted to this community in a big way. So... thanks in advance. My mixed group of grownups and teenagers is coming over tomorrow (unexpectedly) for our next gaming session. It wasn't supposed to happen so soon and...

Thanks!

Excellent questions. I'm playing 5e with my only prior experience being AD&D of yore (I'm in my mid 40's :)). At this point, I'm thinking this druid/mage gone bad is a fallen druid, probably human but maybe Drow. I haven't figured out his greater scheme yet, but I actually really like your idea...

Really great ideas here. I'm thinking maybe I have the boss villain (see my other thread), who is too hard for them to defeat now, waiting outside the shrine entrance with his minions. Perhaps he wants the artifact they've just retrieved. They will have to retreat from him. This could provide a...

This is awesome. Exactly the kind of info I was needing. THANK YOU.

Hey All, I'm running my first game for first time players and they are about to complete their first quest! In an interesting improv moment, about halfway through our first session, I came up with the idea of a powerful evil nature druid/mage who I plan on making repeat appearances ("we'll meet...

So the first adventure went great! I ended up doing a quest where the players went up a snowy mountain path to retrieve an artifact from a mountaintop shrine. Along the way they encountered a giant spider, some harpies fighting a band of dwarf scouts, a sleeping stone giant, and some terrain and...

I think it's important to note that these classic modules will be updated and converted to 5e, which is a huge plus and super enticing in my mind. I have many of these in their original form but the hassle of converting them has caused me to avoid running them for my players. So yeah, I'm...

What What??!? A new book on the horizon from WoTC! http://www.forbes.com/sites/toddkenreck/2017/01/05/dds-tales-from-the-yawning-portal-is-games-greatest-hits/#62b941147c26

You guys, these are fantastic suggestions! I really appreciate the thoughtful replies here. After thinking about it a bit more, I'm going to attempt to do an adapted version of Lost Mines of Phandelver. It really seems to be an excellent well-rounded, and memorable adventure. At this point I'm...

Really interesting ideas here! Thank you!

LMoP looks really really good, but I'm committed to keeping this campaign setting original. Do you think it would be worth the time/effort to change all the names and locations and run an adapted version of it?

Ok, I'll go first with some familiar tried and tested stuff... - The party meets in a tavern - A tomb or graveyard full of undead - A classic cave/dungeon crawl with plenty of goblins and a goblin boss - A trap/magic-filled wizard tower - Somebody needs to be rescued - Some element of mystery...
