Chris Perkins is excited and perhaps even involved. That's enough for me at this time :D Christopher Perkins &#8207 chrisperkinsDnD Warner Brothers, the film studio that delivered MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, is now bringing D&D to the big screen. #holy:):):):)balls Christopher Perkins &#8207...

It always makes me happy to read these success stories. You've brought other people to our great hobby :) It reminds me of my first DnD session a year ago in which I introduced family and friends to the game. I managed to convince some very sceptical people that DnD is awesome. All it took...

I can second this. You can find some more info here: http://www.amazon.com/Greenwood-Presents-Elminsters-Forgotten-Realms/dp/0786960345

I don't have the DM booklet here before me but someone knows/suggests that capturing a Goblin patrol in the forest area might give further information about where the Castle is located. (Gundren and/or Droop?) Here's what I will do. The Goblin in the Redbrand Hideout doesn't know where the...

Thanks for the update :) I have a session coming up in 2 days where my 5 to 6 lvl 2 players will probably head over to Cragmaw Castle. Depending on their actions it might get difficult. Especially since last session Glasstaff got away from them in the Redbrand Hideout and will be heading there...

Crit = Max damage

Was it a deliberate choice to let the Necromancer attack? Because the text says he runs away when confronted. I used the PotA intro adventures to introduce 5 new players to DnD. While most of them went towards the chests 2 of them split up and scouted the other tunnel. They spotted a zombie...

I don't think you can see it on his site but the player version will be missing more locations to avoid spoilers. I have the Starter Set so I can tell you the differences for that one (more or less) http://mikeschley.zenfolio.com/p856083253/h294eafaa#h294eafaa Starter Set Player version map...

I was checking out the maps for both adventures since they play out in the same region and even overlap a bit. Starter Set region map http://mikeschley.zenfolio.com/p856083253/h294eafaa#h294eafaa PoTA region map http://mikeschley.zenfolio.com/p763166286/h1c53b7b4#h1c53b7b4 I DM the Starter...

Yeah, just wanted to clarify Mearls his viewpoint and that I'm following that :) But again, was just for your information. Changing it doesn't hurt.

Yes, was just commenting about the following where you made it seem that if you roll a 1 on your active perception check that you passive perception of 13 wouldn't matter anymore.

Bringing up the following quote from Mike Mearls again. Just wanted to inform you of the intended use. But as Mike says, nothing against changing it offcourse :)

You are correct, the adventure mentions that players might want to go to Cragmaw Castle right away. P.12 "It's also possible that players might decide to do something different, such as striking out in search of Cragmaw Castle (in part 3 of the adventure) If that's the case, skip ahead to that...

When my PC's captured a Goblin and asked for directions to Cragmaw Castle I used the example used by WOTC when they played through the first session of LMoP (see youtube video) The Goblin told him the Castle was in the direction somewhere between where the sun comes up and where it never shines...

Someone made a handy Encounter adjustment tool for LMoP It also shows the intended difficulty for a party of 4 http://haluz.org/lmop/index.php If you check out Part 3 and put in 6 players at lvl 2 you will see that it proposes you to make it slightly more difficult even (more HP for enemies)...

Just adding that according to Mike Mearls Passive Perception is always active even when you roll but a DM might determine otherwise. http://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/2l69tp/ama_mike_mearls_codesigner_of_dd_5_head_of_dd_rd/

Does PotA also have pre-gen characters like the Starter Set did? Or some Personal Goals? If so I'm interested in hearing what they are.

I'm going to introduce some new people to DnD 5e soon and I'm looking for a good starter adventure. We will have 5 players total and since 2 of them already played in my Starter Set campaign I can't reuse that. Most players are combat oriented so only a bit of RP is needed. I have the DMG...

Chris Perkins replied to a twitter question about them. chrisperkinsDnD Princes of the Apocalypse Ch. 6, Kraken Society. Who are they? What is their agenda? Sidetrack doesn't say much... The Kraken Society is a widespread organization of scoundrels and slavers working for a kraken. (1/2)...

I'm quite interested in using this adventure after I get through the Starter Set. I'm just wondering if the fighting of the Cults doesn't get repetitive after a while?
