    Everything D&D Ever - Chapter 1: Temple of the Frog

    Bran stands idly by waiting for the argument to resolve. He had slipped the blindfold off when it was clear Lilily was going to make an issue of it - if it came to a fight, he did not want to be at a disadvantage. Several times he resisted the urge to step in - what would be the point, after...

    Everything D&D Ever - Temple of the Frog

    Didn't realize I was straggling. I don't really have anything constructive to add before we put on the blindfolds, but I'll try to get a flavor post in later tonight.

    D&D 5E Lost Mine of Phandelver

    Laucian stops well short of the stream and waves at Aenwyr. "Yes, yes, by all means send in your little bird. But do it quickly. Perhaps it can tell us whether Sildar and Gudren are inside, or if this is a trap." He scowls at Traygar, then quirks one side of his mouth to indicate humor. "I...

    D&D 5E [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    Yes, 5e was designed to promote more role playing, so the skills are set up to take less of the focus, and in such a way that any character can basically at least try any reasonable action, regardless of their skill level or training. But of course actual interpretation of those rules (like...

    D&D 5E Exodus

    Trace barely has time to register that he hasn't seen Carter since the alien showed up when Colonel Hamilton walks in. He glances at the colonel's insignia and stiffens in an automatic reflex at his rank, then just a quickly chides himself and forces himself to relax. Jeez, get a grip, Trace...

    D&D 5E Lost Mine of Phandelver

    "Undoubtedly." Laucian says with a sneer. He sheathes his blade and stows the cleaning cloth in his pack, then picks up his shield. He looks at Treygar and Aenwyr, and sweeps his arm towards the trail. "After you." Laucian waits for one or both of them to take point, then follows behind...

    D&D 5E [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    True, and you're the DM, so you would know. :) I still think not having access to documentation for the full druid spell list could be an issue, though.

    D&D 5E [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    Someone wrote up an 'Amnesiac' background, if you want to use that. http://www.enworld.org/forum/5ebackgrounds/showentry.php?e=19 Not sure what to tell you on class. Warlocks can be very different depending on the pact and spell selection, so having two in the party is not necessarily a bad...

    D&D 5E [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    Steve Gorak - How old is Ethian? I have Ren at 19 now - I'm thinking he was orphaned at around 11 or 12, and was on the street for at least several months before getting noticed/caught and taken to the church at around age 13. If Ethian was taken in as a toddler, he would have been well...

    D&D 5E [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    Heh...so I guess Kaodi's rogue could be the shady looking scoundrel we all meet down at the docks...you know, the one who offers to 'guide' the poor naïve temple-ites to the Lichway...for a 'small fee', of course... ;) I'll update my background to include Ethian when I get a chance.

    D&D 5E Exodus

    Trace immediately snaps into medic mode, pulling out his medikit and rushing to the alien's side. He quickly checks the site of the wound, assessing the damage and trying to determine whether standard medical practices will work. The anatomy looks generally the same...and it...no, definitely...

    D&D 5E [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    I deviated a bit from the heavy weapons idea - I see Ren as having a strong protective streak, a sort of self-imposed protector for his friend Nissa, so he spends a lot of his time training with heavy armor and shields. I also kind of merged the Acolyte and Guild Artisan backgrounds to create...

    Any interest in playtesting a homebrew RPG?

    Awesome. That's what I figured, but it pays to check. :)

    D&D 5E [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    I'm interested if you don't mind adding someone who hasn't played for you before. Most of my games are moving along pretty slowly, so I'm fairly confident I can handle one or two more. I've been thinking about making up a 'gentle giant' type of character - a heavy weapons fighter or...

    Any interest in playtesting a homebrew RPG?

    I'm always interested in new systems, especially if I can playtest it without buying a bunch of books first. Are you talking about a PbP playtest, or something else? I have a teenage son, and my weekends are always a bit crazy, so any kind of regularly scheduled real-time game is difficult for...

    D&D 5E Lost Mine of Phandelver

    Laucian Arranis Amaravan III At the goblin's guttural utterance, Laucian looks up from his cleaning, disgust written all over his face when he sees the beast pointing in the direction of the trail. "What is it saying? Follow the trail?" He rolls his eyes. "I could have told you that. Did it...

    That's pretty dang awesome, actually. You drew that? Color me all kinds of impressed.

    D&D 5E Exodus

    Trace raptly watches the interplay of muscle under the alien's skin, noting the similarity to that of humans. This has to be more than a case of parallel evolution! I recognize many of those muscle groups...and her skeletal structure is remarkably similar to ours. I'll need blood and tissue...

    Hoard of the Dragon Queen - Prologue

    Rolen huddles miserably in the cart, trying vainly to find relief from the headache he has been nursing all morning. By rights he should be enjoying the clear, sunny day and beautiful countryside, but he can't get the images from the night before out of his head. The forced proximity of so...
