    D&D 5E DMing "Out of the Abyss"

    I've got a more immediate problem. As part of my prep I want to i) identify the fellow prisoners that know of routes to the surface, or where such can be pursued. ii) identify those other 'encounter' NPCs and monster encounters that would plausibly know of exits iii) identify the definite...

    D&D 5E DMing "Out of the Abyss"

    How do people track the passage of time in the Underdark. The module uses days as units, but that seems really off. :D (I was thinking of using a "sleep" as a unit of 6 hours.

    (Spoilers) My experience with Reavers of Harkenwold - Updated

    Nemesis, thanks for some great posts in this thread. I will definitely be using your map of the 'Bandit' cave, I agree - it's perfect. Did you use miniatures/tokens? If so, how did you portray the different elevations? I think you make a good point about Harken, I'm going to sell the idea...

    The Slow Death of Epic Tier

    I'm new to 4e, but not new to D&D. I have to say I'm a little surprised by this conversation. I know there was some politics involved, but WOTC presumably still owns the rights to the concepts developed in BECMI.

    Holy Symbol

    I'm not quite sure what the deal with Holy Symbols is. In the days of yore, they were required for casting spells and turning undead. In 4e.... I'm unclear. They seem to be Implements, but it is unclear whether they are required, required to be held, required to be used (as a Standard or Minor...
