All good stuff, and if using a product like Fire as She Bears (Pathfinder/3.5 but easily compatible), one area of basic rigging has 75 hp (it's going to take a lot of fireballs to destroy one mast's worth), and cannons (or ballistae or highly inaccurate catapults) outdistance casters by a...

My advice: don't script out how your players will react. What if they say "no" to the quest wizard? And why would a demigod need a band of low-level nobodies to do anything for them, other than to giggle in glee when they figure out he's secretly the bad guy? He has an entire religious cult of...

Hehe, Leomund's Many Life Preservers spell...

In setting reason. It's a relatively new item to the region, and while it's catching on, very few have any training or skill to handle black powder, much less afford it. However, I want this to be a campaign impetus: the pirate nation faces an outside threat from [insert big nation that has...

Next campaign is sea-faring, pirates, swinging from the yardarm, wenches and swains and all that good stuff. I'm looking at verisimilitude - spellcasters vs. ships. It feels...anticlimactic....if every battle is simply "wizard fireballs the sails" or something like that. I want to explain why...

Here's all the stuff I worked up for 5E on Savage Tide. We played it halfway.

Yep, thx!

Savage Tide (Dungeon Magazine). I consider it Pathfinder given the writers and nature (a 6-part mega adventure with different writers for each book). My first 5E conversion attempt. Made it halfway with some modified content, and found the village defense satisfying enough of an ending that I...

Just blame it on the entropic Paraelemental Plane of Silt causing havoc with the way physics work. Athas is messed up, and it's just another reason why.

I could see someone asking their pirate crew to "hand me my cannon" and keep a fire brigade of firearms flowing, lol.

Just like it sounds, our next campaign is going to be pirates and likely some variation of the Pathfinder Skulls and Shackles. I'm aiming to introduce Elizabethan-era firearms (usually used once in a skirmish), to make them attractive enough to spend the hundreds of gold upon but not...

I was recovering some old gaming material I used to have on defunct Google Sites and came across this. Not sure where it began: 1. Leap into water without removing anything, always. 2. Pretty good with meeting new guys and giving them an old dead teammate’s stuff. 3. Re-checking after being...

I don't always need to artificially bump all enemies to match the party's level. Rather, I can from time to time use lower-level enemies with more clever tactics than "we line up on a grid map and pummel one another." In the AD&D Rod of the Seven Parts adventure, a 10th level party has a...

"Bits of the Wilderness" series. I don't leave campaigns without 'em. Quality filler for every terrain, cities, dungeons. If you can catch on sale, good buys. Liquor & lodging. The attached is for my current Dragon Age campaign. Jokes/songs heard wherever I need, attached, some taken from the...

More a puzzle than a traditional monster, but the Dragon Age "Spirit Apparatus:"

The iconic belgoi from Dark Sun's AD&D Boxed Set by Brom, on the player/DM adventure guides, fits the setting as it lures you into your certain doom with its bell, all superposed by the desolate world and its twin moons. I Trampier's lizard man from the old monster manual. There's something...
