    Lets convert APs storyline to AiME

    I'm pretty sure that Undermountain is going to be too gonzo for a genuine AiME feel. However, the first part of the AP (Dragon Heist: levels 1-5 urban intrigue) might end up being a good fit. Given we know very little about the content yet, it might end up being a good fit for some business and...

    Lets convert APs storyline to AiME

    Interesting that you didn't mention the one that I think would be "easiest" to convert (for some value of the word "easy"...): Curse of Strahd. The problem with most of the APs is they're too high-magic, and too combat-heavy. What's AiME about? Audiences, Journeys, the fight against the shadow...

    D&D 3E/3.5 5e: Is it really lower magic/less gonzo than 3e?

    1. No. Vanilla 5e is a vastly easier to play than 3e, but it is not much more grounded. You still have teleports and wishes and vorpal swords and demon lords. There are four areas that I can think of where you might consider it to be more grounded... Firstly, creature summoning is less of a...

    D&D 5E Tell me about your Adventures in Middle-Earth experiences, please

    Yikes. It'd be tough, I think. Here are just a few of the challenges when converting to FR: 1) 90% of the campaign and the modules are set outside Laketown; e.g. once the party leaves Laketown at the start of their adventures, they might not be back for 4 years and 6 PC levels. During that...

    D&D 5E Tell me about your Adventures in Middle-Earth experiences, please

    Actually, one final comment for anyone who is planning to get into AiME. I was initially unsure what everything was, in terms of released books. Here's how it works... The Players Guide is the PH, and the Loremaster's Guide is a combination DMG and (abbreviated) Monster Manual. You need both of...

    D&D 5E Tell me about your Adventures in Middle-Earth experiences, please

    Here's my experience... Firstly, in a 4-hour session, my group usually does about 2-3 combat encounters with AiME. One of these is usually something fairly trivial, which may drain some of their resources but probably isn't going to be a threat. The other 1-2 encounters are likely to be more...

    D&D 5E Tell me about your Adventures in Middle-Earth experiences, please

    Pretty hard, in my opinion. I've got nearly every MERP/Rolemaster module and supplement released, but it's worlds apart from AiME's approach. Let's take some random examples... Firstly, forget anything based outside the traditional settings of Hobbit and LotR. Sea of Rhun? Warlords of Harad...

    D&D 5E Tell me about your Adventures in Middle-Earth experiences, please

    It's a good game, but it's not for the faint-of-heart. Some people think of Lord of the Rings as fighting balrogs, slaughtering orcs on the battlefield, and romancing elf maidens. They quibble about whether Gandalf was actually only a 6th level wizard, and whether Aragorn is a ranger or a...

    D&D 5E Tell me about your Adventures in Middle-Earth experiences, please

    If you're looking purely at combat math, then Yaarel's comment about class balance is accurate. However, if you're playing the AiME game as intended - using the Middle Earth setting and the Mirkwood campaign - then the Scholar and Warden come into their own. I've been GMing the game for a...

    A Tale Of Two Bestiaries: Looking At The Fiend Folio And Creature Catalog In POD

    Interestingly, the Fiend Folio was heavily criticized in Dragon Magazine when it first came out. Two reviews were published, both negative. The first was Ed Greenwood's (!), who described the book as "irritating" and "disappointing". Among his specific criticisms were: not enough info provided...

    How do you make a Barbarian interesting? :)

    Cubicle 7's Adventures in Middle Earth game (which is basically 5e D&D for Lord of the Rings) has a variant of the Barbarian class called the "Slayer". Just like regular D&D, you choose a "path" at 3rd level which further distinguishes your character. One of these is the "Rider" path, which...

    Archdevil Moloch (Mordenkainen's tome of foes preview from Dragon+)

    How? Moloch has 21 Int. Any DM starts him at his preferred range, because he's smarter than any normal PC. 18 Wis, too. How does the barbarian close 120' in one round and still attack? Even if the bard dimension doors the barbarian adjacent, Moloch just legendary teleports 120 ft further back...
