    What treasure do you wish was in upcoming adventures?

    I feel AL's been way too liberal with the magic items as it is, especially in a system that was 'advertised' as to the magic items being rare and exotic items, as opposed to being something you drastically need to keep up with the power curve like you had in previous editions. I'd also be far...

    Thoughts on running Death House

    Ah, yeah, found it under Advancement And Tiers Of Play as a sidebar, oddly. Thanks.

    Thoughts on running Death House

    Quick question, as I thought I had seen this answered elsewhere, but cannot for the life of me seem to find it again. At the end of Death House, are the players automatically stuck in Barovia, or do they have a choice (since/if it's being run as a store "launch event") of not continuing on with...

    Online Harassment through Emails and Private Message: You're killing your hobby

    Let management handle the issue as they see fit, folks. Nothing more to see here, and nothing to gain from public attempts at shaming. Moving along...

    Online Harassment through Emails and Private Message: You're killing your hobby

    Oookay. Did I miss something here? I can't say anything regarding potential IMs or emails you may or may not have been sent, but if the thread you were referring to was the http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?483236-When-and-how-do-you-tell-a-DM-he-is-possibly-in-error/ thread, I'm not...

    When and how do you tell a DM he is possibly in error?

    I would tend to agree with Pauper on this one, I don't see those two examples as being equivalent either. Being able to use a skill to do certain 'exotic' maneuvers in combat (or whatever you're trying to accomplish there) is always going to be a DM-perogative kind of thing. Mind you, it was a...

    Build-wise, what's far too common in the AL?

    In my opinion, the difference between a +2 to my primary stat and +3 in my primary stat in D&D5e is not that big of a deal, honestly. Certainly not as critical as it might have been in past editions. While a +3 is always going to be better, all other things being equal, i've never nixed a...

    Necromancy and AL

    Thanks! In that case, I feel justified in using an image I wanted to use earlier from an old game forum, but seemed appropriate to this one as well.

    DDEX3 "Revised" Adventures?

    He was referring to the Season 3 mods that you download for free from the AL season download site, not the purchasable copies. i'm guessing that if they're moved all of those over to DMGuild, OP is probably out of luck in getting a corrected version of what he has, baring having to pay for it...

    First legal 3rd party AL material announced

    No, I understand that, and I knew someone would mention the volunteer angle. :) But in my mind, that doesn't play into it. As soon as you, as an organization, start charging people for the services you provide, the excuse of 'but it's volunteers' goes right out the window.* It's up to you, as...

    Necromancy and AL

    The OP just asked for ideas on how to streamline things, which he had some ideas on, and others mentioned that a) that's largely up to the DM and the table he's at how they want to handle a 'horde' of undead based on the time they have, etc., and then others then pointed out the fact (in a...

    First legal 3rd party AL material announced

    Honestly, I had zero complaints about the gaming space (altho it of course could have been better) -- I'm used to those unfortunately cavernous gaming halls. My concern was more of how it was being organized and the sort of people they had running stuff. With a couple notable exceptions...

    Necromancy and AL

    Oh, for the love of god, why hasn't this thread been done with and we moved on or something? At this point, both sides (if you could even call it that) are just arguing hollowly over points already established ages (pages!) ago.

    First legal 3rd party AL material announced

    As mentioned previously, I'm sure I'm in the minority here. On the contrary, I very much would love more content, and would very much NOT like more of the same -- I want diversity, and new stuff, and all that jazz. But if I want to play in the Forgotten Realms, I would prefer to play in a...

    That player in the back of the room

    So... he's playing a game in which he's specifically set himself up to be able to NOT play the game...? Sounds more like this guy should be sitting on the sidelines, and just watching other people playing the game, as opposed to taking up a slot. Ah well, best of luck there.

    Death House For 5th Level Characters

    If you're planning on running it as an AL adventure, you can't -- Death House is an intro mod, and is hard-capped. if you want to play them both, i'd start instead with Death House, then transition into Lost Mines. EDIT: Well, actually, I suppose that's Death House as the Launch Event...

    First legal 3rd party AL material announced

    If you'd like. That said, please note that these are all personal opinions, and I'm aware that I'm sure that there will be a lot of people that like all of this even if it doesn't work out as well for me personally. I tend to look towards the long-term viability of campaigns with changes like...

    I'm probably one of the only people that is not seeing this announcement in an especially positive light, but ah well. I'll reserve final judgement until we get some more information.

    Roman style campsites vs. vampires

    I'd be disinclined to allow it, as the concept behind that bit of lore seems more in line with permanent, enclosed structures, as opposed to camps and other temporary setups (however sturdy they may be). I'd also be leery of calling anything that a group of six people could throw up in a few...
