God this thread can make a grown man cry.

I would probably mix and match some. For players, probably stick to 2014 because it is familiar. If the boredom is too big, though, switch to LU:A5E For the GM side: Use LU:A5E or bits of it for exploration and stuff. You can easily treat it as a buffet and take what you fancy. Monsters you can...

I don't think pacing follows from improv skills. You can be great at improv and suck at pacing, or suck at improv and be good at pacing. if you discount a skill simply because it benefits from another one, the list will be awfully short and bland. Pacing is a very distinct skill and imho vastly...

How so? For me it is a clearly distinct skill, but am I am very interested in why you think it a composite skill.

Surprised pacing has not come up yet!

For short adventures und like the arcane library and sly flourish 'fantastic' books. Most of those slot in quite easy. I also plan to use stuff from tales of the yawning portal.

Been a time since I gave read them, and I got return first. Maybe that's why the differences stuck out a lot to me. But I agree, if I were to buy one of both books, I would get Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master for sure.

As far as I am aware, it's less a new version, and more a completely separate book. Can't recommend Return enough, really helped me as a new DM to give me a solid game plan regarding prepping a session.

I am squarely in the middle, can't really decide which side of the coin I am landing on. Extra feat and MotM races are a no for me, but I can't withold alternate class features from our ranger. Guess for the sake of the poll I am on the 5.0 side.

Fingers crossed the title stays. Looking forward ro MM 2 for LU:A5E and Delve by Bob Worldbuulder, if that counts.

I got it on a whim when buying the Monster Overhaul, because I wanted to add the theme of industrialization to my campaign. It is a little more magical than I had planned, but it pulls it off great, imho. I would very much recommend it. There are a few inventions given in the book, and it...

I like giving them out with few charges left, that allows me to sprinkle them more often and maybe a little earlier. I feel like the limited amount of charges can lead to more interesting choices. Most of the time I don't require attunement for them, except when they have additional properties...

Looking back: Got almost all the LU:A5E books Got most of the 5E books from WotC I want The Monster Overhaul Magical Industrial Revolution (might be my favorite book) Glad I got a little into painting minis, not to play, just to paint and relax Got a lot of people into playing RPGs, and one or...

Ah, haven't kept up with this series. I remember liking it well enough, and it had some really great moments (Dalinars 'the next step. Always the next step.'). But I do think you can speed through these quite easily, as they are (or were, in any case) rather simple. Maybe I need to catch up with...

What book is it? Kinda curious now. Because I think it heavily depends on the book. Some cause me to think about them a lot between chapters, others you can read in one sitting and not miss much, in my experience.

I'm with Umbran on that, but I'd probably allow a single damage type, just to keep things simple and quick.

Just as I clicked on this link it started playing in the car...

It's my understanding that you can only access it with the DDB app, meaning you will lose access there as well, although maybe a little bit later.

So looking forward to the book! My party will face one of those lovelies soon, I'd imagine.

Thanks, will check them out!
