Thank you for this explanation. My first reaction, when I heard about this project a while back, was annoyance --why do admins, and the highest-profile cons, get yet another exclusive thing; why do con attendees (and certainly folks that are more connected in the AL world than others) get...

Ok cool, thanks for the info. I'll edit the title of the thread to take out the reference to GaryCon. Still very interested in what people thought of it. It looks like I'll be DM'ing the epic part of it in like 3 weeks, but do not yet have the mod itself. Are you sure it's a DDAO? Seems weird...

Could be. I heard it's exclusive to Garycon2017 and maybe a few other cons, and isn't expected to be released on DM's guild anytime soon. It's a series of 2-hr adventures, all Tier 1, culminating in a Tier 1 Epic.

What did you think of it? Asking because I may have the chance to DM or play it at an upcoming con.

Hey, that's my thread! :) I played all three of these at the first strategicon this year (not the one that thread's about). They are all really awesome mods, maybe the most fun series I've played. I personally can't wait to DM them for my local groups. Also, the next three (YLRA-04 through 06)...

Oh man. While I'm sure that wasn't fun, every con I've ever attended was somewhere between uncomfortably warm, and 9th-level-of-hell #allmyclothesaresoakedandimsittinginapuddle hot. I'd love to have to bring a sweater to one as a change of pace. But yeah thanks for the review. Sounds like a...

I believe tremorsense would see through it, as the bugs aren't affecting the ground (but presumably the holder of the staff is, unless they're flying). But that's about it. That dash trick is fantastic. Unfortunately my sorcerer doesn't have a way of moving that fast, unless I have her take...

Actually, the absolute best healer IMO Is arcana cleric. All the base cleric class tools (see prior post), including Divine Intervention; but then it also gets Wish at 17. If you consider wish can be used for healing or damage prevention or whatever else the team needs,, that is hands-down the...

If you're just looking at hit points healed per day, then yes the Life Cleric 1 / Lore Bard 6 / Sorcerer 3+ wins hands down. However, hit points output /day doesn't really make you the best healer IMO. It just makes you a really slick one-trick (or two-trick) pony. Also that build sucks at...

Chris, thanks so much for the outreach. I will definitely get some details together in a PM to you, with names (including the couple I encountered that did a stellar job), when I get a chance. Should be able to do it in the next day or so.

What you say is true in a general sense...but is anything coming across in the OP as being an "all about me" attitude? I certainly consider myself to be extremely helpful, cooperative, and patient, both as a player and a DM. But I believe this experience was way beyond any point where me being...

That is so awesome to hear! Do you know if an after-con survey is sent out too? If not, I may just reach out to Fred with some of this, since I'm not sure how much detail came across on the forms as I rushed between events.

Right, definitely. I filled out the session surveys provided at the con. I can't remember if a general event survey is sent out after the con, but if one comes out I can reiterate (and provide a more cohesive view than I did in the one-off surveys) there.

I should start with a few disclaimers: The people who organized this con worked very hard, and mostly did a great job. I know lots of people that went and had a good time. I’m not trying to throw anyone under the bus, and for that reason, I’m not going to list any names in this public post...

Haha I like the way you think. No transmuter's stone in this guy's future--int 8, which is actually pretty smart for an orc-- but boots of speed maybe? Then with longstrider and mobile I'm at 60 base, doubled by the boots, doubled and turned to flight by the whistle, doubled by haste, comes to...

Ah, good point. I'm better at shoving than hitting, and even then they'd get a save against the trip effect. Heh yeah I love the boots. I'm also working on a trade for the Eagle Whistle from TotYP, which gives you a fly speed double your walking speed 3x/day. That should help me get to that...

I appreciate the input, but I've gotta disagree with most of your points. According to Jeremy Crawford/Sage Advice, "An Arcane Trickster can retrain their 1st-level spell from any school. (An unintended omission.)" See...

I already have Enlarge/Reduce (I swapped out my AT 3 out-of-school spell for it when I hit AT 7 and opened up 2nd-level spell slots). I still find myself preferring to rage due to the damage reduction (it is a massive benefit); and of course rage gives advantage as well. I only intend to use...

Hi grappling fans, I need some leveling advice on my grappling build. Didn't want to clutter the thread, so I made a new thread for it. But I'd definitely appreciate the advice of the folks in here. If you get a minute to check it out, here's the direct link...

I'm currently playing an Bear Totem Barbarian 5 / Arcane Trickster 7. He was built to be primarily a grappler, but still be able to put out decent damage when needed, with a little bit of utility here and there. I've found that while I love the grappling pieces, and want to keep that capability...
