    D&D 5E Need help subtly letting the player know they've dropped the ball

    I've figured it out thanks to you guys. I've got two areas in the prisoner camp where the captives are being kept. In one there will be Leosin although he wont respond to his name incase the captors are looking for him specifically (really dislike the idea of explaining that he wants to be...

    D&D 5E Need help subtly letting the player know they've dropped the ball

    Hah! I like this idea! Lord Nighthill in my campaign isn't a particularly good guy, as I've sort of run him as a spy master for an underground conclave that rivals the cult of the dragon (As I stated before I'm running this campaign heavily modified). The imposter could be an assassin which...

    D&D 5E Need help subtly letting the player know they've dropped the ball

    I think I've decided not to help them on this one, as if you've read the thread I linked in the first post, they were pretty horrible to a person they captured so karma and all that kinda dictates i should be a bit mean to them at some point. I like that idea (hence the 'I am Spartacus' idea i...

    D&D 5E Need help subtly letting the player know they've dropped the ball

    Yeah, I did state this as they left... I relistened to this part of the adventure today and was amazed at how they ignored the hint. Saying that I only realised they had dropped said ball today so I guess it wasn't super obvious... They seem to play in a way where they leave themselves open to...

    D&D 5E Need help subtly letting the player know they've dropped the ball

    They don't know he is elven or a monk. The Lord literally said I need you to find Leosin as he was taken and they just said 'OK - we follow the raiders tracks' they didn't ask for any more information than that. They are also a really 'literal' goal orientated group, so will probably only...

    D&D 5E Need help subtly letting the player know they've dropped the ball

    Hi Guys, After a long hiatus over winter (moving into new house + Christmas getting in the way) my group is finally getting back together again at the end of this month. To prepare for it I've been relistening to the recordings of the past sessions (yes... we record them...) and I've noticed...

    D&D 5E How does one publish an adventure/quest?

    Ah, so it all depends on whether I want to make money on it? When you stated 'co-opting the 3E OGL for basic D&D terminology', did you mean finding terminology that is used in both editions only? I heard that you can use information from the 'Basic Rules' set without issue as it is free online...

    D&D 5E How does one publish an adventure/quest?

    At the beginning of the year I made my own quest as a sort of a one off that could be used to start an overarching campaign. I did it to help the new players bond with each other and get into the role-playing a bit more as two of them were new to RPG's and the other two were used to 4e being...

    Acquisitions, Inc. Returns

    My friends and I got into it because of these podcasts 3 years ago. the ones without the audience are the best in my opinion though.

    Wow hostility... Look guys I was just getting ideas from you to do with products to sell, events to participate in and other things you'd want from an RPG store. I was going to let people play boardgames in the place as well as cards and RPGs etc. I wasn't looking for financial advice, as...

    Need help with a captured villains humorous escape

    I had a game where a gnome wizard electrified a river to kill the BBEG that was stood in it. He killed the guy but he also destroyed the ecosystem of the river, killing fishes, bears eating them and some children that were playing in the water down river. It was funny seeing my mate act as a...

    Need help with a captured villains humorous escape

    Just a final question, Does anyone know of any links of battlemaps for the hoard of the dragon queen after section 3 (the dragon hatchery)? I've been drawing some for the raider camp and i've found an amazing map of the dragon hatchery with I printed off on A2 paper, if you want links to the...

    Thanks guys, Great links and advice! To answer some questions: I was planning to open on a night after work at first and if I thought there was enough demand during the day I'd see to opening full time. I have a decently paid job currently and was thinking to let that help pay for the store...

    That is a very good point, I'll work on that. Just wanting to generally know what people would want in a store like this. G

    Thanks for the advice, I have already started my research via asking local RPG societies and groups if they'd use it and it's been quite positive so far. Unfortunately the schools and University are currently on summer leave so I can't start pestering them until they come back. Money isn't a...

    Recently the owner of a small shop in my village has sadly passed away leaving his place of work behind to no-one. I've been thinking about trying to purchase it when the bank finally put it on the market (not really sure how that part works), and turning it into a D&D (or RPG and tabletop in...

    Need help with a captured villains humorous escape

    Very good! I really like this idea! And combining it with this idea is brilliant! the thieves and scoundrels flock to him to hear how he bested a bear with his quick thinking and a spoon. Could may be the start of a cult, so if the PC's do nothing to interrupt the process he could turn into a...

    Need help with a captured villains humorous escape

    If they go into the tavern and don't immediately attack him, I'll get him to tell them his sob story about a cursed family or something. Could be fun to witness the apathy from the warlock and ranger compared to the exact opposite from the paladin whom would be drawn in, even if it was an...
