I've done Tamoachan once and honestly I had a great effing time. It's hard to find feedback on the place though, and there are so many complicated rooms with long (long!) descriptions. I spent a long time prepping the place. Also, how in heck's name did you manage to run it as a one-shot? I...

1. You're blinded by your own idealism. 2. Being a Nazi is an ideology. Being Turkish is a nationality. Apples and oranges.

Nice article. Gygax seems like such an interesting character. I grew up in the 90s and wasn't really exposed to D&D. Video games won.

Don't play Acererak as if he has 11 Intelligence. Also, it does sound like you guys have gotten tons of mileage out of the book, so are you really that disappointed? It can't be worse than the other adventures Wizards has released.

Jeez man I just want to kill some goblins in a cave.

4e sold horribly. 5e is basically one giant apology-edition.

Your post is good, but this is factually, objectively and verifiably incorrect. We share common ancestors and are the same species, not race. In this thread that's an important distinction. Human races are not 100% the same as any medical expert will happily tell you. That's why we can see based...

I do think we really quickly need to establish that 5e is doing well because it's a good game, not because of any significant changes relating to it being more inclusive.

Wait, so I can just compile a bunch of almost-related citations and write an "article" where the citations take up more words than my own input? Interesting.

I don't have any experience playing with children, but I do enjoy running one-shots for new players despite also running a weekly Tomb of Annihilation campaign. Clueless new players do have a charming innocence that I find enjoyable to be around. They don't worry so much and are very creative. I...

I ran "The Wolves of Welton". It was fun, but a little short in my group. "A Wild Sheep Chase" is also popular. Both can be found for free in PDF-form. I also ran Death House from Curse of Strahd as a one-shot (it's also available for free). It's more difficult and quite a bit longer, but very...

double-post, sorry

"A Wild Sheep Chase" sounds like what you're after, though it's not for 1st lvl. You can use it as framework and just change the stats of the NPCs they meet. Alternatively "The Wolves of Welton" is a fun and simple one-shot.

no.

28. I had played a bit before, but it wasn't until I bought the 5e starter set and convinced my friends to play that I DM'ed. We've played boardgames before and popular culture (Big Bang Theory, Stranger Things) meant that my friends - even the non-gamers - were familiar with/curious about the...

I don't see the issue either. The Petrified condition does what you seem to be after, so why complicate things further? A petrified creature is transformed, along with any nonmagical object it is wearing or carrying, into a solid inanimate substance (usually stone). Its weight increases by a...

Zzz. You have to understand that not everyone has access to the stuff you do. It's like someone saying "I've lived my entire life on Hawaii; why do people pay money for vacations to tropical places? Just go down to the beach! It's not a problem for me, why should it be for you!?".
