Oh, and while it isn't a rules supplement as such, every 5e DM should get their hands on a copy of The Monsters Know What They're Doing: Combat Tactics for Dungeon Masters. It's exactly what it sounds like - a guide to how to use just about everything in the core MM to optimal effectiveness...

The Total Party Kill handbooks and bestiary. You want lots of challenging encounter ideas? These are a must, and can keep your parties on their toes for a long time. Matt Colville's Strongholds and Followers. If your players have ambition of doing any kind of world-building, from a tavern or...

I'm disappointed - how can you have resisted the temptation to give him etherealness at will? What kind of ether bunny ith thith?

Started with Black Box/Rules Cyclopedia in 1991, but my parents took away all my D&D stuff a year later (they thought I spent too much time reading D&D manuals and it was teaching me racism). AD&D 2nd Edition and 3E are just about tied for the most played. I ran the former from 1998-2000 and...

Other "originals" still with us - Tim Kask, TSR Employee #1, is still alive and gaming (and there have been some recent podcasts with him that were pretty entertaining).

BEGUN, THE EDITION WARS HAVE!

Ehminster?

Hence, 3.5 added the Mystic Theurge.

A fundamental understanding of what the setting is about. If you're dropping fireballs, collecting artifacts and piles of gold, and insisting on playing your Drow and Dragonborn PCs... well... you're not doing Middle Earth. I'd say that the themes to emphasize are intimate stories over...

Well, I've seen their books at my FLGS; not at B&N. But given it's Tolkien IP, there's certainly a chance it might show up at B&N...

As far as I'm concerned, my table, my world. If my PCs decide Elminster Must Die, or they're going to conquer an empire and turn the Sea of Fallen Stars into their personal lake, well, that's what goes down, and that's now "canon" at my table. (Of course, I don't run Realms. I run Midgard - and...

We've had several sessions that were pure roleplaying, investigation, not a single combat... we've also had 9 players in and out, and I don't award XP if the player isn't present... and several deaths, which reset the clock to zero... so yeah, our pace is a little slow. But that way I don't burn...

Sold. Sounds extremely plunderable for Middle Sea region adventures in Midgard.

XP, of course. None of that milestone stuff. You EARN your levels in my game!

I hope to start running a second biweekly campaign later this year... but even at that there's more quality content on my roster than I can use in a lifetime!

What I'd like to do is similar - run repeated campaigns at normal pace, but in a world that evolves due to the actions of previous campaigns, with PCs and their descendants becoming key NPCs and historical figures. As I might be pretty settled for the next decade and a half, perhaps my current...

Dang you level fast... once every two weeks for six hours? My group has been doing that since September and they're still only 3rd and 4th level and we've only used four short adventure modules... I'm impressed.

Double Post

Kobold Press has over 200 mostly shorter adventures for 5E available; lots of anthologies (Lairs, Prepared, Towers), the Warlock Lairs series (46 modules and counting), and several longer modules (with a lvl 1-13 epic coming out later this year, as well as more Warlock mods and at least two more...

Best game store ever, or best game store ever?
