    The Keep on the Borderland in FR?

    Thanks for the replies guys! Silver Marches had been my first thought and maybe Cormyr but I'll have a a good look at those others mentioned now!

    The Keep on the Borderland in FR?

    I'm starting to prep the (fantastic) Goodman Game's update and want to site in the present day Forgotten Realms. Does anybody have any recommendations as to location? I want somewhere that has a genuine Borderlands feel but at the same time I want a current regional power that has a decent...

    This is what I’m after: A. Does anyone know anything more about the release? B. Can anyone remember how those releases functioned?

    DDAL DDAL Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes material?

    Thanks for the reply but if you look in the DDAL Content Catalogue you’ll see that there’s a lot of stuff that is completely season agnostic, one of those things is ‘DDIA-VOLO In Volo’s Wake’ which was released with with VGtM, it’s an equivalent of that but for MToF I’m talking about.

    DDAL DDAL Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes material?

    There was specific DDAL Xanathar's and Volo's material released when those books dropped, has anybody any experience of how far in advance of the release dates that the AL material dropped and how it was distributed? My DDAL group wants to run a Launch Event for MToF and we're hoping/assuming...

    A First Real Look At The Reincarnated 'Into The Borderlands'!

    Got my copy at my FLGS yesterday and it is amazing. I know people complained about the price and value for money but it cost me €45 and frankly I'd have paid a lot more than that. It's hard backed and genuinely huge. It's the perfect combination of a coffee table type book or one that sits of...

    What Official 5e Adventures have you played/run (POLL!)

    I own and have run or played in everything released so far! Ran HotQ and RoT back to back in exactly 12 months to the session. Flawed but epic. Played LMoP and absolutely loved it. Still the best published 5e adveture so far imo. Played PoA. Enjoyed it. Played first half if OoTA. Hated it...

    Xanathar's 18 Pages of What??

    Is there a whole lot of things that would have been more interesting than lists of names? Yes. But they obviously weren't ready to include them and in fairness, the way have managed 5th edition so far is absolutely brilliant and massively successful so you have to just back them. Also, some...

    Spelljammer Is Spelljammer Coming To D&D 5E?

    Why do you think it's an ill fit? I like that it's in FR! It's far away and very different but you could potentially travel there and elements of Al Qadim bleed into the Sword Coast. I played a Zaharan Jewel Merchant (assassin) who had come north to find interesting gems (kill people) and it...

    Worst Purchase Ever?

    4th edition Starter Set. I absolutely love starter sets and buy them obsessively (I think it dates back to getting the Black Box for my 11th birthday) and after around a 20 year break me and my mates were talking about getting back into D&D. I bought the the 4th Ed Starter Set, opened it, said...

    Kobold Press' Warlock Gaming Zine

    Backed but again more because I am desperate for a regular printed D&D magazine like the old days rather than any particular in interest in Midgard, really hope this is works out!

    Its time to exempt (sub)race from the PHB +1 rule!

    DMing 7 complete strangers with a mix of people who say ‘Which one is the D20?’ and people who say ‘I read on a forum that Flanking is legal in AL now’ ain’t easy, PHB+1 makes it a little easier... It’s just fine how it is.

    D&D 5E Initiative - group or individual?

    This is a great idea, in fact I’m a little embarrassed that I didn’t think of it myself :confused:

    D&D 5E Initiative - group or individual?

    Yeah, one of my DMs does this but it still puts the multiple monsters within each group at a disadvantage imo

    D&D 5E Initiative - group or individual?

    So I have always rolled individually for monster's initiative but other DMs I play with roll for opponents as a group which I think makes everything a lot more streamlined and quick. But I also really thinks this puts NPCs and monsters at a disadvantage, it's fine for individual monsters but...

    Recommendations for a first AL module?

    Yeah, I've read through that and had it in mind. I'll have another look at it. Thanks!

    Recommendations for a first AL module?

    Just looking for something simple that a group of people who've never met before can play through and enjoy. We'll probably have some total beginners so preferably there'd a little bit of roleplay and some combat to give everyone a taste of the game.

    Recommendations for a first AL module?

    Myself and some others are in the process of setting up a brand new AL group in a game shop and we plan on running the same material for the first few sessions. We’ll have at least 4 tables and have big interest so will be pretty big groups. Can anyone recommend a module for us to run for our...
