    D&D 5E (2024) Hellfire Club Starter Set

    Maybe the coaster is broken once they enter Greyhawkins, and the purpose of their dungeon delving through the 4 quests is to find parts/knowledge to fix the coaster to get back to the fairgrounds.

    D&D 5E (2024) Hellfire Club Starter Set

    I got it for Roll20. Going to make some modifications first. I am running it with the ST kids in 1984, and and they go on the D&D ride at the new Hawkins Fairgrounds. There, they get sucked into the module/boxed set and meet Dungeon Master (yes, like the cartoon) and have to complete quests...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls explains why your boss monsters die too easily

    I don't know the "fix" for this, but assuming groups across the board would fight X amount of times, and you use that X as a balancing factor puts way, way too much emphasis on an assumption that can change group to group and session to session.

    Adapting the Sunless Citadel 3e using the 5e maps but switching the game system to Nimble 2.0. Anyone played Nimble? I don't think it gets talked about much on this site. It started as a 5e add-on but morphed into its own game. In a nutshell, I would say combat is more strategic than 5e...

    D&D's October Product Revealed to Be Stranger Things Tie-In

    I picked this up on Roll20 for $20. I think it's worth that price. I love the Greyhawkins map. And the name. It comes with 5 pre-gens, but what I am PROBABLY going to do is swap out the token pictures for the actors in the show. So, for instance, we would have Dustin the Dwarf because Nog...

    D&D General Favorite Forgotten Realms products of all time?

    I have very fond memories of a book called The Magister. It had new items and spells that probably became redundant later on, but at the time, the book was pretty unique. I think it was all Realms specific stuff.

    D&D General Your last adventure in photos.

    Spelljammer campaign. The wizard zapped a demi-lich with a lightning bolt, and the demi-lich immediately responded with hellfire that dropped the wizard to Dying (but he got better).

    D&D General Forgotten Realms - why do you still like running games here? +

    I like the maps and names of locations. Players have some ongoing familiarity so it feels more grounded. I don't follow canon or novels. It just do whatever I want with the maps and cities and terrain and gods and whatever.

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    That Robber guy is kinda scary.

    Dragonbane general thread [+]

    I am itching to run Dragonbane. I bought it for Roll20 because that's my go-to system and I really like it. The rules seemed pretty well laid out and the sheets were pretty. But then I started seeing how Foundry implemented the rules, and frankly, the integration was FAR better than how Roll20...

    D&D General Why do people like Alignment?

    I love alignment. If I play some game that doesn't use it I add it back in. Monster statblocks that don't have alignment annoy me. I like to know at a glance what a monster leans to. Is that weird thing LG or CE?

    We are nearing the end of the 5e Spelljammer campaign. It's been great. No thanks to 5e's lackluster boxed set, but I added in as much as I could from 2nd edition and 3rd party supplement. Hell, I even threw in Planescape for a bit. Anyways, I have run a Spelljammer campaign to the best of...
