Anyone in or near Payette, Idaho that might be interested in playing in a 5th edition D&D or an old school style D&D game? I'm looking at putting together a weekly game.

As usual with posts or comments on FaceBook, this rumor was put forward without any citation. I asked the commenter to provide links to the information and was told he checked his sources and confirmed the info, no link provided. I thought it might be worth coming here to get info to counter the...

"One time at adventurer camp." It seems likely that a type of flute suitable to their anatomy would exist. Nose flute sounds reasonable. Just make sure when buying tickets to a show you get back row seats.

The party is very clearly in over their capabilities. Getting as much of the town population on the move to safer locations, and getting the urn away from the enemy are both essential. Both will be very difficult, especially hiding the urn since the 13th level cleric will likely be divining the...

Or better yet, www.hammeredgametables.com Mine just arrived.

Everyone at the table is there to have fun playing an adventure game. If it weren't dangerous it wouldn't be called an adventure. Being nice is expected, nerfing everything takes the adventure out of it. The game is designed with the possibility of character death in it, thus adding the...

We let them "level" so if we needed a replacement character and there was an NPC left we could have the player that lost a character stay in the action by temporarily promoting the NPC to a PC. At least until the party got to town and a newly rolled up PC could be added.

This makes me think bringing back the Potion Miscibility Table would be a fun idea.

The idea would certainly work though it is an expensive option. At least five thousand and 50 gold to cover time, materials, labor, hiring the right assassin costs extra, etc. This is the type of thing someone has crafted for your stated purpose only if they are certain the benefit far exceeds...

Favorite addition: Advantage/Disadvantage Other well liked additions: Versatile casting, spells can be used in higher slots; Bounded Accuracy; Death Save mechanic; etc. Wish was different: Speed of leveling is too fast. It works great for mini campaigns, but standard campaigns lose time to...

I'll give two thumbs up for Lesserton & Mor having played through some of it with the folks at Faster Monkey Games. I also have enjoyed my brief time playing in Barrowmaze for its take on the classic dungeon crawl.

Sounds to me as if the church has figured out a nice way to quietly maintain some influence in the courts of nobles.

If it wasn't dangerous, it wouldn't be called adventuring.
