Yeah, five 5th level characters. It happened so fast. Strahd never had a chance to toy with them, either. I was tracking time, waiting for the noon spy report to Strahd (whereupon there's a 60% chance he knows the PCs' location and attacks within two hours). But I never got to noon. The party...

I ran Ravenloft on New Year's and the Holy Symbol paralyzing Strahd was overkill. After one round the party had him down to 27 hit points from 144.

Thanks Enkhidu!

My friend thought so, but they have faces (nose, mouth and ears) and it looks like beards. Bearded devils maybe?

We're cataloging our miniature collection on Flickr and have no clue what these are: Anybody recognize them? Thanks!

In 9 days, I'm running an expanded Wave Echo Cave (from Lost Mines of Phandelver) where the mine is up and running under the control of intelligent undead, with skeletal miners. So far I've been having a lotta fun designing 5e with feedback on ideas from the EN World forum. These are all related...

My first painted mini is a Spectator. After the big reveal I'll give the mini to the painter in our group, along with the Beholder's other six eye stalks. Maybe he can do something decent with it :)

Check out Larry Elmore's talk to a group of art students from Kendall College at a gallery presenting a retrospective of four TSR artists. Elmore's a great story teller, and he had memories lined up for this talk: Kendall College presents Larry Elmore (Youtube)

An AD&D Players Handbook in mint condition signed by Gary Gygax and Dave Sutherland. I lined up at Gen Con to shake Gary's hand and thank him for D&D, back in 1985. Paul Jaquays' Dark Tower, most beloved adventure, barely holding together it's been run so often. I wrote Paul a letter of thanks...

Thanks guys. I just picked up a beholder from a bricks and mortar store in Ottawa. Buying it's the easy part. Now I have to paint the damn thing.

Hah, nice story. That stone was some well-aged cheese! It reminds me of a back story of one the PCs at my table, whose wicked witch stepmother insisted on a cottage made from particular, black stones from a particular river. Turns out they were the disassembled remains of a nefarious dark tower...

Unless the DM thinks it would be cooler for the skeletons to continue pantomiming, in which case they continue pantomiming.

Shadowdweller00, fyi, your post was so rich with good ideas I thought I'd highlight the new stuff I'm keeping. Thanks so much, your post really moved my project forward. All this juicy stuff is on the front burner: the artifact needs an origin the artifact is an iron crown, set with a gem the...

The problem with a good artifact is the PCs will use it, and they'll only be 4th or 5th level. Your artifact design is equivalent to a Periapt of Wound Closure (common) and a scroll of Raise Dead, but that immortality thing trumps combat powers with an elegant story power. Thanks! :) Your...

Actually, in a way, yeah. I already answered that question on p.2. The skeletons behave as they did in life, all in an eerie miming.
