The players asked about the wand and the sword. After inspecting both, this is what they've found. The wand is intricately carved with the image of a blue dragon curling around it. It is inscribed in ancient runes that you think spells out the word IYMRITH but you are not sure what this means...

Let's Start in a Tavern Hail and well met, travelers! This is Faerun, a vast continent on the world of Toril. It is populated by many cultures and races but dominated by human lands, be they kingdoms, city-states, or carefully maintained alliances of rural communities. Interspersed among the...

Here's background for the cleric character, an elf named Landon. Luskan. Why did you ever come to Luskan? A few years ago you were an up-and-coming cleric in Waterdeep, the City of Splendors and the Crown of the North. You were close to the high priest of Corellon, Del Silvermoon one of...

Before our games, I like to email the players with private background information they may have picked up that other players do not necessarily know. I used to do this in person during gaming sessions but these days everyone's time is short. Taking time away from everyone playing to walk through...

This will be a sort of campaign diary. My players do not read the forums so I'm not really worried about giving too much away. It's going to be a sandboxy blend of The Lost Mines of Phandelver, Legacy of the Crystal Shard, The Accursed Tower (2E IWD module), and Storm Kings Thunder. Probably...

Is that Matt Mercer in the lower right, reading a book?

I've been doing a lot of thinking about how to combine LMoP with other published adventures. Or at least set the stage for other adventures by making changes to LMoP. Here's what I have in mind so far. The Redbramds aren't just a gang--they're a cult. I haven't worked out whether they are...

I literally started playing D&D before I could read. I was in kindergarten and my friend's father had a game going with some older kids in the neighborhood. One afternoon, he ran us through the module they were playing. Something about cloud giants. Maybe rescuing a baby cloud giant. I can't...

Thanks for your comments and questions. I'll do my best to describe the things I did to account for such a large and diverse group (two forty year olds, six teenagers, and an eight year old). Running a game with ten players was challenging. I understand that typical games are now usually run...

So this is the story about what happened when an old school DM gathered a group of players together to run D&D in the latest edition. Before I go into the details of whay happened, I thought I'd provide some background. Think of t like a psychological treasure map to what you'll get next. I...
