    D&D 5E (2014) Help Me Create an Epic Final Boss Fight!

    What kind of action is it to ring the bell? A one-round turn undead that takes up someone's Action would keep it from being an encounter-killer. And the baddies could target the bell wringer who would then need to be protected. Also, I was imagining some sort of sound-muffling creature or...

    D&D General The Best Advice for New DMs I Can Give

    So it's not just me?? Been DMing since (gods!) 1977 and still beat myself up after my last session over something trivial I could have done better.

    D&D General A Rant: DMing is not hard.

    It's been said already, but I don't find DMing to be HARD necessarily, but I do find it to be quite a bit of WORK.

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Have what might be a silly question and need some advice. Last night our wizard was blinded during combat and was wondering if he could magic missile the foes anyway. We looked up several of the SD "attack" spells (acid arrow, magic missile, disintegrate) and they don't actually specify that you...

    Shadowdark Shadowdark General Thread [+]

    Just ran my 4th session of Shadowdark (a modification of Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur) and my players and I have enjoyed it more each time. Wanted to thank the contributors to this and other threads for the advice and encouragement. Next stop: carousing in the City of Masks!

    D&D General ENWorld is better that the pundits…change my mind

    That sounds like something an AI would say!

    D&D General Gargoyles need to be redone.

    Just want to second this recommendation. Playable gargoyles (and medusae and harpies for those that are interested). Also lots of good gargoyle lore that doesn't have to be setting-specific.

    Unacceptable!! JK. Take you time. I will likely buy it soon anyway since I like having lots of material to draw from and I seem to believe that I am made of money.

    Please let us know what you think of it when you have absorbed some of it. It is on my wishlist but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
