I'm running my group thru Expedition right now (3.5). And yes, Strahd plays cat and mouse until the group has gained 2 levels or so and acquired the sword and holy symbol. I'm somewhere in the middle on the length of the module having removed the fanes and some of the encounters in the castle...

Lol...that's funny!

That's pretty much what I've been using in 3.5 :-)

:thumbup:

I would be of the mindset that the flaw was seriously considered by "Mike and the Gang" and deemed appropriate for drow. It should be part of role playing this exotic race. If the player can come up with some type of work around it would still be part of the character but should not completely...

I'll have to do more research but on the surface the idea of a two-handed finesse weapon seems like an oxymoron (think jumbo-shrimp). I'm all for working with my players to create a character that fits their want/needs but sometimes I think the GM has to push back a little. When I think katana...

Yup...I removed Strahd's ties to the land and tried to stick with a simpler version. I did use the zombie incursion as part of the main story but removed some of the new npcs that had moved into the castle (the necromancer, warlocks). Madam Eva plays a big part in that she actually wants to see...

Actually running the Expedition to Ravenloft...which has far more content but allows you to trim it back to what you need. I'm running it much closer to the original I6. My group has been together along time but we've gotten far enough apart that we are forced to use Roll20 as our gaming...

All very good modules!

I'm currently running Ravenloft (3.5) for the 3rd time in my gaming career and I've got to mention the Desert of Desolation series of modules. The flavor and production quality of that adventure series has left good memories in my mind and I would love to see a 5E conversion!

Yup...we did the skeletons are raised with negative energy and have a sense of direction towards any positive energy nearby (DM discretion). I essentially played with that theory on all undead...so invisibility didn't help much around them. I suspect my mind has not changed on that topic very...

I think a brand new ship captain would be quick to be called out by experienced SeaDogs...assuming they know very little about sailing a large ship.

I'm running my older kids (2 boys, 2 girls) thru the Phandelver adventure. The oldest boy is having a real problem understanding that it is a living world he is interacting with and like your group has a tendency to want to shoot first. I believe this is because he is used to playing video games...

You mean like the rest of the world does it? For some unknown reason WOTC has always lagged behind on this premise. I think they believe that they produce hardcopy books and that's what they need to stick with. I gotta put some blame on Hasbro for not helping them figure out that there might...

Yes...for times sake I will use published modules. I would love to see 5E versions of some of the old classics. New material like the Pathfinder series are very good but I would also like to see more of the singular modules (i.e. 1E).

I've instituted a house rule that delays the instant death by a round. This gives other party members a chance to stabilize the felled character before his turn comes back around. If they don't get to him/her in time they die. I still reserve the right as GM to declare a true instant death if I...

Since you're the rider directing the horse aren't you part of the disengage? It becomes a team effort between the character and his mount...get out of combat without taking damage. Is the rider able/allowed to take any other actions while his horse is disengaging?

That's hilarious! Of course by game mechanics the guy throwing lightning bolts would have to wait 6 seconds between twigs!😁

Very nice! Gives me some insight to the rogue's possibilities.
