    From the Diary of Doorag Marzipan

    Rdying 15 Back on the road again, and it feels good to be here. Spring is well upon us, though there is a fine chill in the air. Being here again, with firm direction in mind, it seems that we have once again solidified into the crew we were before our trials at the Academy. A bit...

    From the Diary of Doorag Marzipan

    Book I Ptchwl 6 Have recently arrived in Toulouse, a town I have not visited for quite some time. I believe the last time the Old Man and I came here for supplies and news it was my seven-tenth summer. Not much has changed in four years. I don’t plan on staying long; perhaps a day or...

    From the Diary of Doorag Marzipan

    In 2004 my rpg group wrapped up a pretty epic campaign that took us from level 1 to level 20 over the course of a couple of years. Until that time I'd been the only DM in our group to run a long campaign that actually reached a real conclusion. Then one of my players stepped up, and it turned...

    D&D 5E Of Wizards and specific 5e questions and musings

    Hmm, no takers on the Levitate rate of decent question? I'm surprised. Oh well. Another session in the books. The good news is that I'm growing steadily fonder of 5e. So much so that I'm going to start running a game tomorrow despite my unfamiliarity with the rules. Fortunately all of the...

    D&D 5E Of Wizards and specific 5e questions and musings

    Another session in the books, and we got to deal with concentration, or the breaking of, for the first time. While posing as caravan guards for a wagon train heading for Waterdeep we were beset by four big ass spiders and three ettercaps. During the battle Zukamesh cast a levitate on himself...

    Has anyone figured out the +/- percentage of advantage/disadvantage? I'd be interested to know what it works out to.

    D&D 5E Of Wizards and specific 5e questions and musings

    Thanks again for all replies. Lest I be misinterpreted, let me be clear: This is not meant to be a complaint thread about 5e. Overall, I give it a thumbs up. This is just meant to be a place3 to note first impressions and observations about the system, and a means to better wrap my head around...

    D&D 5E Of Wizards and specific 5e questions and musings

    Did I mention that I'm not the DM, and therefore have no say in house rules?

    D&D 5E Of Wizards and specific 5e questions and musings

    Thanks everyone for the replies. First things first: No, Ulktar did not see the bad guy coming. Lizard guy simply popped up out of murky water, at night time, right next to our fighter. As was mentioned, the enemy did not have to travel through Ulktar's attack zone, so I was skeptical of his...

    D&D 5E Of Wizards and specific 5e questions and musings

    First off, hello everyone and thanks for letting me bend your collective ears. I've been away from D&D since 3.5 due to general burnout (I've been playing off and on since AD&D), and being totally turned off by 4e. But it's been several years now, and recently a friend asked me to join his brand...
