I could hope certs would be approved by AL Admins, but if it's at least coming from Mearls(who wrote and ran an Author-only AL mod) I'm fine with it. It's actually pretty cool, since he's one of 5E's designers.

Good points. Although, new from that post- as per ALPG4, wingwear and balloon packs from Season 2 count as consumables outside of the Elemental Evil season.

That would be nice! It's just a little ridiculous the way it works now... :)

Murderhobo-ing at it's finest! How dare he question our stealing of his stuff! DEATH! :P

I usually tell new players that they can pick whatever pregen they want to play, noting that Wizards & Clerics are more complicated, and suggest Fighter or Rogue. If there are veteran players, I ask them to help out with spells if the newb needs help as a Wizard or Cleric. I tell them, no...

Sithrak is awesome, and so is Oglaf. It's also like 85% very NSFW. I'm just sayin'.

I think the majority of NPCs are so beaten down and scared living in oppressive Barovia that they really wouldn't appreciate the "Mistress of Pain's" whole thing(maybe not to the point of breaking out the torches & pitchforks, but who knows- your player might surprise you!). Though- some might...

I ran DH in about 5 or 6 hours, in one setting. We went through the house part just fine, really going into detail and roleplaying. I had printed out the maps in a near-1" square format, and I said "Ok, move yourselves where you want to be when you do something. That way, I know *exactly* where...

I think the blame was pretty equal all the way around. :) I do have problems with the madness mechanic from Season 3 mods(this is not Call of Cthulhu), for one. The rule of "Don't be a dick" got a mild end-around from everyone, and running a game with kids does make it harder to keep control...

Depends. If it's a rules mistake that I'm 100% sure about that will kill a character, I will point it out then and there. If I'm 99% sure (or less), I will quickly look it up and show them the rule out of the book. If it's nothing serious, I will look it up and point it out during a lull after...

I have an odd off-stats-for-race PC, a Drow Cleric/Wizard Multiclass- 14's in INT and WIS, but also better AC/HP/Saves because I spread out my stats. I haven't found her underpowered, but I will be adding +2 to INT at 4th level Wizard for slightly better spell DC's.

One of my favorite Living Greyhawk moments in the Shield Lands was in a module with a Keep, surrounded by farmland. "Ooo.. I have Profession: Farmer, can I learn anything more?" And the DM had this surprised look on his face, reading the mod. "Yes, you can roll Profession: Farmer!"

The party I ran through the module was soooo close. Party vote was 3:2 in favor of returning the Seer. :)

I wouldn't really want to discuss which of the Sage Advice/Recommended rulings I do or don't follow before a game, and the inevitable discussion of "why not?" before a game. We are enabled to decide on ambiguous rulings at the table, and I'm all for it. If a player doesn't like the way I rule...

For DDAL adventures(formerly Expeditions) from season 1-3, we will still be using what's listed in the module for DM Rewards. Edit: Ninja'd by Kalani.

I really liked the concept of Skill Challenges in the early part of 4E & LFR. Later though, I grew to dislike how every mod seemed to have a skill challenge, and that some of them did not work very well and seemed shoehorned into the mod. I have seen a few mods where you can talk your way...

I would like to see more non-combat options. Maybe, ways to make a combat easier if non-combat skills are used in/before combat. I really don't like it when there is tons of combat in an adventure.

Yeah, I have a *great* group of players that come out to my gamedays. Great bunch of people. Still, I have a hard time getting volunteers to DM. :P We'll see how the DM Quest affects this- I am personally interested in seeing if it helps.

35-45K XP for a DM character seems like a high estimate, considering a 10th level [player] character needs 64k to get to 10th level, and DM rewards are supposed to give around 25% XP for DM reward per mod?(As far as I know) Even with the DM Quests rewards, the [DM] character might be around 8th...
