Yeh cleric on hand is good, my concern though is if my rogue decapitates the druid, how do we reverse that Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

Yeh I was thinking about doing prerolls, mainly for initiative though, but this sounds good because as you say: it would tip them off otherwise Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

All great tips I'll research the hide action as I'm not 100% on the mechanics. Just for reference: the party were woken up during a long rest in the wilderness in the middle of the night by (what appeared to be) their ally from the nearby town warning them of imminent danger and demanding them...

Last encounter was 6 players in the middle of a 120ft diameter clearing in the middle of a forest surrounded by a circle of 12 goblins. My issue is more with my players being unimaginative, "move, swing, retreat" but if you think even more description than I already give will help then I'm all...

My initial idea was they get captured and put into an arena, but when I suggested that in my homebrew campaign thread, everyone told me never ever ever capture your PC's because they won't like it Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

So the general consensus here was "don't do it", mainly for the railroading of characters. But my idea isn't dissimilar to LMoP which is all of our first campaign. There's a town, NPC's, a few side quests, and a main boss. The goal is laid out for the characters and they follow it. Why would it...

For example, what are the ingredients you'd require to create assassins blood which you have mentioned? Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

So I mentioned my idea for a PvP arena in a previous post about my homebrew but it was shot down for fair reason. So now I need to come up with another reason for PvP because my players want to do one. I've got some good ideas on layout but more is always better. My main concern is how to...

My rogue wants to craft poison, he found out that nearby is a wyvern that he wants too harvest for venom, which will require a nature check to extract it safely, also he'll need to kill it carefully, not burning/exploding etc that may damage the venom. Aside from the venom, what other...

New to d&d, new to DMing. All our encounters are the same and very boring. "X amount of enemy appears, roll initiative" Player - I walk up to this one and attack with my axe then walk back. Player - I walk to this one and attack with my rapier then walk back. This fashion for whole fight...

Do you have any miniatures Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

I think dmsguild may be my best option, the reason I want to do homebrew (aside from the obvious reasons) is because when I'm playing a premade campaign, I stick quite religiously to the book because I'm worried if I improv something, it may have an adverse affect in the future, whereas if it's...

We already have characters, they'll continue with them as we crossover into the new campaign. Everyone says do a session zero but the problem with my group of rookie role players (only a year and a total of about 10 sessions) every time I ask their opinions or what they like/dislike etc. they...

:):):):), so I guess I should just scrap everything I've done so far and start again doing as you've said; giving the PC's freedom to invent and adventure themselves? Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

Rookie roleplayer, rookie DM, been playing about a year, been DMing about six months, coming up to the end of LMoP and have started planning my first homebrew to kick off straight from the end of LMoP. I'm just after some ideas, suggestions etc. as it's my first time. Feel free to start...

I'm going to do wave echo cave then move on to my homebrew Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

Yes. For most of LMoP they're supposed to fight a handful of goblins in each encounter with one bigger goblin with double HP. Even the weaker characters could crush that, so I've been improvising. They've fought owlbears, doppelgangers, bandits, their last encounter was 12 goblins with...

Are you familiar with LMoP? Any encounter from that campaign. Sent from my HTC 10 using EN World mobile app

Level 5, completed cragmaw hideout, cragmaw castle, old owl well, rebrand ruffians, currently doing thundertree, then they'll do wave echo cave. It's worth mentioning that they used to have a different DM who started them at level 1 on CoS so took them through the death house and gave out random...
