If you want to riff on the ice and fire theme, you could have an ice golem that is being constantly melted and refrozen by a magical artifact in it's chest. The artifact acts like a troll regeneration ability, and the fires act as a form of torture. There might be something that the golem (or...

I feel that a minor illusion wouldn't replicate light effects, and that would be what distinguishes it from a major illusion. If this sort of situation came up in my game, I would read the spell language carefully and adjudicate based on that.

In my games, I usually have the party walking at 4 miles an hour. With horses on roads, I double that. Horses travelling through wilderness, then I change it to 6 miles, which lines up well with the 6 mile hex, which you can use for expansive wilderness adventures.

I have found Cons to be expensive, but extremely rewarding. I've made some fantastic friends at these, and they are well worth the journey. Long lasting connections are hard to put a price tag on. To echo some of the other comments, if this is disposable income, and you've gotten enjoyment from...

I put minis because they are expensive and get used by everyone at the table. A think a bulk pack or something (especially painted!) would be my favourite gift

I really like this news piece, I hope to see more like this in the future

Thanks Jeux Fictifs, my little program has been pretty successful. Sometimes I find myself as a player in a disjointed and poorly planned game, but even that helps me with my games. It keeps my ideas fresh. And if the new DM decides to stop for whatever reason, I can always step in and bring the...

I've moved cities a few times in the past decade, and each time I've had to build a new group from scratch. My strategy has always been online ads and local game shops, and usually I get lots of first time players. I run something short, with a plot horizon of two or three months, playing...
