Hi all! My wife and I have entered into the foray of DM’s Guild. Some may remember us as the ENnie-award winning authors for AEG’s Toolbox, and were active in writing, editing, and project management for a great number of other d20 era projects. This is Athanae’s Divinations, a sourcebook of...

It’s interesting you cap it at 16, I think that’s exactly how many I got. Mostly $0 for PWYW, but a few were presented well enough to warrant a purchase. More than anything it’s curiosity. I’m going to be submitting some material there and I wanted to see what the market was like. Overall I can...

Have you gone through Lost Mine of Phandelver from the beginner box? Murder in Baldur's Gate might fit that time schedule. http://www.dmsguild.com/product/160318/Murder-in-Baldurs-Gate-5e?term=baldur%27s+gate As would Dreams of the Red Wizards - Scourge of the Sword Coast...

For some basic answers - The average page count is in the mid 20's. There are some higher-level ones that run to 35+ pages. I mined the first and second seasons and ran each one with minor modifications to fit in the Neverwinter region with great ease. They worked great as one-shots. One or...

My inaugural 5e campaign was Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle intermixed with Scourge of the Sword Coast. That ran to 11th level. These players are currently going through the King for a Day campaign in 5e (see drivethruRPG). I ran both of the Tyranny of Dragons hardcovers intermixed with lots of...

#3, just sounds like there would be lots of juice moral dilemmas. #2 and #4 as runner-ups, in that order.

It's funny because when 4th Ed started making NPCs more like monster stats and not built like PC's I lost my mind, and now for whatever reason in 5E I completely embrace it and as a DM am thankful. So, any NPC that will not be involved in any fight whatsoever I don't even want or use stats for...

According to this blog post there's at least some explanation for that... http://www.postworldgames.com/

I voted no, but it really varies. In my homebrew campaign, there simply are some races that don't exist there, and the players understand that. In my more conservative Sunday night Forgotten Realms game the players rarely take anything outside the PHB, when they do I work with it. And for my all...

There is *kind of* a Moonsea map I got from Mike's site - you need to look around. However, it only covers the north shore (Hillsfar and Thurmaster aren't on there, it's more of Vassa, Damara, and the cold lands there).

I got the digital version, and you get both - a JPEG full sized, and a PDF with a full-sized page and then all tiled. The prices for the printed maps are a bit high. I got the digital one because I've been taking Mike's maps to Staples and can get 24x36 posters on great stock for about $30...

I too got the Pathfinder version of Slumbering Tsar and now wish I'd got the S&W version. But I think the campaign would run much easier in 5e. Conversion of weird monsters can be done by copying the stablock and using this monster converter, not sure if it will pick up the exact formatting FFG...

Wow, a shame but those stat blocks make me cringe. I think the new game's format has moved past this type of presentation. I too like the way Kobold Press and Necromancer Games do them.

1) The cult "intends to use the ancient draconic artifact known as the Draakhorn to rally the chromatic dragons to Tiamat’s cause." So while it doesn't say (and has a pretty big effect on a wide region) it's DM 's call, I have it sounding just a few times, no more than once a week, leading up to...

Simplicity / Ease of Use Specifically DM Prep, PC Leveling, Explaining it to new players, intuitive easy-to-remember mechanics.

Doesn't bother me, I like the return to this idea. It's just old-school, per the primer to old-school gaming: "Old-style games have a human-sized scale, not a super-powered scale. At first level, adventurers are barely more capable than a regular person." But as Defcon1 alluded to you can't...

Cave Description 1 Cavern of stalactites stretches out, a small ledge climbing to great heights on the far side. 2 Full of a strange purple fungus growing on the walls and in corners. 3 Great columns of unworked stone show signs of cracking, crumbling, and sabotage. 4 Half-finished frescoes of...

Instead of an adventure path, what about a big, meaty sandbox campaign that also gets PC’s to the loftiest of levels but doesn’t involve saving the world? Then check out King For A Day http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/112514/King-for-a-Day]. It’s written system-less but was based off a D&D...

The Book of Lost Spells has loads of new necromancy spells for 5e. https://www.froggodgames.com/book-lost-spells

He and I wrote Toolbox and Ultimate Toolbox as well as a host of other titles for AEG last decade. Now he runs Post World Games! And the Long Path, yes even when I ran it originally I kept everything except the duregar stronghold, seemed too side-trek-y.
