    EN5ider #28: The Mystery of Mordecai's Monster

    Yeah, read thru it today and am going to use it in the near future.

    D&D 5E D&D Success Story

    As far as the magic items, just limit yourself to consumables for a while. It will work out. You may want to slowly beef up encounters to compensate, but 5e is remarkably resilient. Have fun!

    D&D 5E Labyrinth-Tomb of the Minotaur Prince (and other random dungeons)

    Sure will. I have already incorporated the Minotaur lair. I'm working on a random dungeon of my own - we'll see how that goes, too.

    D&D 5E Labyrinth-Tomb of the Minotaur Prince (and other random dungeons)

    Thanks! I'll look at it tonight. I really want to generate a random dungeon of my own; maybe next week I'll find the time.

    D&D 5E Published Campaign Setting or Home Brew?

    I've been playing DnD for nigh on 40 years. I've been running my campaign world for 30 of those. Yes, it has gone through massive changes as my tastes and my capabilities have changed, and as editions have forced changes - GRRRR.... I still resent losing the 2nd edition priest spheres - I never...

    D&D 5E Labyrinth-Tomb of the Minotaur Prince (and other random dungeons)

    I desperately need a fun/ silly dungeon crawl for ruins under a bard's manor. A brownie would be perfect. 5-6th levelish?

    Looking for a low-level "PCs are hired by NPC" type adventures

    Hmmm... as part of the 'dungeon-a-day' site, there was an adventure called "Temple of the Black Goat". The whole adventure was a sort of bait-and-switch in which the PCs come to Cold Comfort Ford - a small, isolated village - where adventurers are being hired by a group of halfling...

    Resources for lost cities and "ruined city crawls"

    This is actually a thread I started... and got some good advice. I've slowly been working on my ruined/blasted region, and have come up with some stuff - I'll be working on it more in the coming weeks, so you may want to check it again in at the end of summer...

    a ghost-haunted manor house and its bardic master

    500 years or so ago, IMC, there was a human-centric empire. The elves had gone mostly into hiding. One elf, a bard, became the guardian and protector of a magical passage that connected the hidden elvish land with the human material plane. This connection was necessary for the survival of both...

    D&D 5E Labyrinth-Tomb of the Minotaur Prince (and other random dungeons)

    I really like this dungeon. Could you put it up in easily downloadable form?

    Introducing A Table Full of New Players To D&D and RPGs

    Hmmm... for new players I like to go with VERY traditional scenarios. Perhaps once the good guy adventurers are out of town, a storm hits. Or there's a building fire. Or both. People need rescuing. Other people start stealing/looting. Someone offers a group of people protection, for a sum of...

    Quick! I need an adventure!

    He replied to me today, and gave me his permission (claimed I didn't need it!). So I've started work on it here: http://vishteercampaign.pbworks.com/w/page/97821466/%22The%20King%27s%20Nightmares%22?securitymsg=true So, instead of having a nice simple adventure to run as filler, I've given...

    Real world campaigns: local, or anything but?

    I've actually set my DnD campaign in "real world" geography, but well away from my current location, geographically. It's nice to be able to pull out the world weather almanac and know what the daily precipitation for a given month is. And whether or not an area will be raising cattle for meat...

    D&D 5E Why does 5E SUCK?

    I'd forgotten those three owlbears! Hmmm... don't have any specific remembrance of magic being extraordinarily useful. Just that someone in the party tried to befriend one of them and failed. And was it Alzardel who ended up with the two intact hides? I know Doodle blew several stealth checks...

    Quick! I need an adventure!

    I'll post it to my wiki and make the page public so everyone can read it. Hmmm... I wonder if I should have Nemmerle's permission, because I'd like to start by pasting in his outline, and working from there. I'll have to PM him before I post anything...

    Quick! I need an adventure!

    Some great ideas here. Thanks! I think I'm going to try to whip the iron DM adventure about the blind cartographer and the trip to the moon into fitting my campaign.

    Quick! I need an adventure!

    I've run dry of ideas. My PCs are lowish level (5th in 5e) and are visiting a fairly civilized area, doing research. While they're there, I just want to find a straightforward adventure I can send them on for 1-3 weeks (we play short, 3 hour sessions) to keep them busy while I create their next...

    D&D 5E Why does 5E SUCK?

    Hey, I have to admit I have not followed this whole discussion - I'm not even QUITE sure what's being argued. But I'll give you my impressions of what happens in my game vis-a-vis magic vs skills. AbdulAlhazred (I really hate typing that, Tod), says that 5e's spell descriptions are tighter than...

    D&D 5E Crowd source my game

    I would definitely use some haunts, pathfinder style. Old prison cells, the torture chamber, the rooms where the mentally ill were kept are all likely places for them. And you need a ghost who only wants their bones laid to rest. Of course they were walled up in a room that now houses a nasty...
