Agreed, now I haven't done it yet, but if someone has 20 times they can play and chooses to DM 19 of them it's not unreasonable that the 20th time if it's a tier 3/4 option that they turn in all their hard work and games they provided for the community while growing it, to cash in and play that...

Admittedly I fall under the online contingent and not in store due to no options where I live. We have slowly built the group with normal well adjusted human beings that don't exploit every rule breaking scenario. So I guess I have been very lucky. Also in regards to your examples about DMs...

Pauper, I would really like to meet some of the people you clearly have had the displeasure of playing with.

The Adventurers League solution then may be the one for you.... A character may accept and be affected by only one dark gift. If a character with a dark gift attempts to accept another from a different vestige, their requests go unanswered. Obviously from what you said they have more than...

Also note in the side bar I believe non-evil PCs have to make a Charisma Save DC12 for each power they obtain. If they fail the succumb to evil and become an NPC. You as DM then determine if they can continue. If playing an AL game they have additional restrictions covered in an addendum

Unless I'm reading wrong it seems like the new system always changes the DC by increments of 5 for different success. I remember the original system that it was a variable of 1/2's so instead of 10/15/20 it would be 5/10/20. I don't know if the math works out the same since its roll high now...

CCC also doesn't count towards Dedicated DM reward which is useful to get items for PCs advancing in level to other tiers via DMXP. In general they don't count towards any rewards but that in my opinion is the most significant. Personally I don't care for the reward system as I have almost 200k...

That's how my group treats it. If one monster walks through it everyone sees him walking through it. Using the action is to interact with it via observing it in my read. Since it's so low level you gotta keep that in mind. One difference is I don't roll any checks, they all see it and believe it...

We have played almost weekly since starter set and we have managed to finish Starter Set, HotDQ, RoT. About finished with PotA and 3/4 through CoS. I would be happy with the above mentioned 3 books format with 1 being recompiled classics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fantasy Grounds is fantastic and very powerful, but it has a steeper learning curve.Roll 20 is free as you know. FG has a ,out of makes life easier built into it even more so if you buy the official modules. My group started on roll20 and moved to FG and never looked back for 5e since the...

Seeing this kind of stuff is unfortunate for everyone in the community as it stifles growth of the hobby. Hopefully this gets resolved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great job on the backgrounds! They all capture the theme and direction of the AL campaign nicely.

Online , other - Roll20 at first but migrated to Fantasy Grounds mostly AL stuff or rules, but consistent group for the most part so can safely put in friends after 2 years, but started as random group.

So as far as AL is concerned if running with the Werewolves in the Mists hook which references Adventurers League Factions, what does the letter of recommendation (Lords' Alliance) or Special Favor (Zhentarim) mean for AL play?

Thank you for the quick response!

The module is a double length 8hr module and says it rewards 10 downtime days for player and DMs. Is this a typo, should it be 20?

Yeah the rewards are great, I am pleasantly surprised. I only get to play once in a blue moon instead of DM, and this option now ensures I can have a PC at different tiers to play in the modules I want to instead of being limited. The magic items now close that gap in using DM credit to get to...

As a DM: I have finished online (Roll20 then moved to FG): Lost Mines of Phandelver, Hoard of the Dragon Queen, Rise of Tiamat. Expeditions Season 1: DDEX 1-1 through 1-13,Season 2: DDEX2-1,2-2,2-5 and 2-7. Currently Running: Princes of the Apocalypse (About 25% complete) As a player...

Not official but a great tool for meeting people in the "Online" region and setting up legal AL games. Has a place to keep your characters and logs up to date, log entries have a downtime usage calculator and it has an active signup/post for games that fill up quickly. https://www.alonlinetools.net

This is a common misconception....I have used both roll20 and FG 1. Not free if you want more than 100mb of maps/tokens. Mind you if you want nice tokens like the ones included in modules in FG you have to pay for them. 2.Mapping is better on roll20 3.Draw - roll20 has zero automation and forces...
