Hi All, Looking for some advice. Hopefully this poor horse hasn't been flogged too much already. Will try to make this short. I'm running a converted Rise of the Runelords campaign in which I and three of the four players are professional actors. However, getting roleplay going around the...

Thanks for the input, Ninjayeti. Good to know re: OoTA, though that sort of sounds like fun to me as I'm trying to break my bad habit of railroading. I say that, though, knowing almost nothing about the adventure. Re: PoTA, I'll take a look, thanks, though I've read a decent number of...

Thank you both for the reply. As I'm trying to resist the temptation to railroad and instead allow my imagination and the players to wander, it sounds as if maybe OoTA is the better option. Unfortunately, due to work, kid, etc., creating a homebrew campaign isn't really an option right now...

Very much appreciated, Mousferatu, thank you. It's a very valid point and I hadn't really considered the fact that fighting them all could turn into a real slog with the only variations being their CR's and tactics after awhile. Thanks for the input, exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for...

OoTA SPOILER INCOMING: Thanks for the reply, Jester Canuck. Great to know. My goal for OoTA would be to have the pc's get to 20 and then fight each demon lord individually. I'm not really interested in the finale of that adventure as written (with each player taking control of a single lord...

Just like the title says. . . I'll be finishing a converted Rise of the Runelords campaign in a month or so and am looking into what I'll be running next. This ROTRL campaign has been the first time I've DM'd in almost 30 years and it's been a blast but I've made tons of mistakes (railroading...

Jrowland, that's brilliant. Exactly what I was looking for (the feasibility of such a thing). Many thanks!

A good strategy, Daern, for sure but I'm still trying to discern whether or not this is how the adventure ends. And, if so, how easy it might be to restructure it so they fight each demon lord separately, all of those fights eventually leading up to Demogorgon. My players are not going to be...

I just saw a review of the adventure by Draven Swiftbo on Youtube. He alluded to the fact that the endgame, as it were, of the adventure has the pc's each playing a different demon lord in an epic battle against each other. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If it is true, could anyone who...

Agree with Steffan. Covers up to my nose. Were did you find the new art with the color, MonsterEnvy?

I was under the impression that sections of the module were playable at Gen Con. Is there really no information coming out of the convention about it other than the photos of the post cards? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Fair point, Corpsetaker. Based on what we know, what type of module do you think Out of the Abyss will be? I don't know enough about how the two differ. In terms of what I'm looking for, in this case my main thought is that going with Out of the Abyss will just be much easier as I won't have...

This is all extremely helpful, thank you to everyone thus far. Truly appreciated!

Thanks, Wik. Wondering if you could clarify a bit what you mean by rough. Do you mean that it got sort of unenjoyably lethal to the party toward the end or that it was just sort of boring and a bit of a slog? Thanks for any input!

Thank you both for the input. Very good reasons to stick with what we're doing. Do we know if there will be any advanced opportunities for people to try out OotA before its release? Would just be curious to see how folks are enjoying it. Thanks again!

Hi All, My group is only two sessions into my ROTRL conversion. So far I've just been using the conversions available online. However, those only go up a few levels, after that I'll have quite a bit of math ahead of me. The group likes their characters and the adventure, however we can only...

I like that, makes sense. Thanks again to all for the replies!

Thanks, all. Really appreciate all of the input.

Great, thanks very much, Iosue. One last question re: surprise. Is it possible to make one perception roll for a whole group of adversaries/mooks to see if they're all surprised (as you might make one roll with initiative) or do you need to roll separately for each mook? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Tormyr. So just to clarify, the order of things goes as follows: 1.) PC's sneak up on adversaries and their Stealth rolls beat the adversaries passive perception (or perception rolls if they have someone on guard, for example). 2.) The PC's attack, damage is figured...
