    D&D 5E Why is WoTc still pushing AP's when the majority of gamers want something else?

    I honestly don't have time for homebrew D&D, so I appreciate the adventures the WOTC have put out. The fact that I have a premade adventure in my hands saves me a lot of time when my friends and I hang out on Saturday night. Besides, having a family doesn't allow me the luxury of creating my...

    D&D 5E What Your XP Level Says About Your Character?

    I know I have seen an explanation on this before, so if this has been posted before, I apologize. I had read a really great description about how a character advances levels and how NPC's view them as they gain more fame and popularity. Now that my lowly group of adventurers are getting...

    Minis or Theatre of the Mind? (Survey)

    I use roll20.net for our sessions, which gives me the advantage of doing both. Most combat is using maps I have made, while any RP moments is theater of the mind, using sound FX form battle bards, or any of the other music/ambiant sounds form ROll20

    D&D 5E Level 20 How?

    This is the group I run to a "T"! I am taking them through Rise of Tiamat, but have side quested the crap out of them, only because I think they would get slaughtered by Tiamat at level 14 or so, based on the game. What I have done is go back through a the roughly 75-80 AD&D modules I have on...

    D&D 5E Time Travel and forced time paradoxes

    Was curious as to what you think about corrupting the paladins apprentice in his new order? Since he wasn't able to travel with them, maybe he becomes jealous / power hungry and makes this new order in his visage? though not sure how that works with the time travel? thoughts?

    D&D 5E Time Travel and forced time paradoxes

    I could see one timeline getting splintered, or fractured over the course of time, but do you think that if travelling through multiple time timelines, spreading the "good word" could keep it alive, active, and still believed in?

    D&D 5E Time Travel and forced time paradoxes

    Actually he was a part of the order of the Gauntlet, but decided he didn't like some of the politics, so he decided he wanted to try to start his own order. I kind of like this idea, of the corrupt king stealing the paladins "thunder" per se' ! This sounds like a blast as well, as I do like...

    D&D 5E Time Travel and forced time paradoxes

    I am running an adventure that has a group adventurers travellng back in time to a few different time periods (stone age, bronze age, etc...) During these time periods, considering the equipment and magic the players wielded they were considered "almost godlike" in not only appearance but in...

    D&D 5E Curse of Strahd - How Long Start to Finish?

    To add to this, I have heard this is difficult to run, unless you are an experienced DM. Even Dice Camera, Action had Chris Perkins fumbling through the book at times to keep the story moving at a good pace, and it makes me wonder, being a decent DM how i would fare?

    D&D 5E Enhancing "Rise of Tiamat" (Practical stuff to try at your table!)

    I'm in the process of leveling my crew of 6 adventurers to 20, because honestly if Tiamat is played correctly, would just be a TPK. I have been side questing the hell out of them with with a slew of 5e converted modules I havefrom my AD&D days. On top of all this I made some slight changes in...

    I am a DM for a group of 5 adventurers just wrapping up Hoard of the Dragon Queen and on their way to Waterdeep for Rise of Tiamat. It had been literally a year since we started and I felt as a celebration to have one session of nothing but fun and games for the players. In the same sense I can...

    D&D 5E Halloween themed D&D Ideas?

    Hi Everyone, my first post, but have been lurking about taking in as much as I can. I am currently running The Hoard of the Dragon Queen with roughly about 6-7 characters. They are currently on chapter 4:On The Road, and are just on their way into the wilds with the caravan. The group itself is...

    Awesome thanks, for the repost! I thought it was just me that found some issues with the story, but then again nothing too major a DM could "fill in the blanks" needed to make everything a little smoother!
