I run a campaign with 7 players at the moment. I have three things to help with that: I double the number of enemies (or double the total enemy xp). I have the group levelling up slower than they normally would I use Roll20 With Roll20 I have a pro subscription that allows me to have APIs. I...

You let them get past first level? Soft.

Definitely not Dragon Heist. I have played it, but we had a TPK fairly early on. I only play adventures that grab my imagination and I'm not really a fan of the forgotten realms. The ones set in the Realms that I have run tend not to be lore heavy or can be easily converted to another world...

There always has to be a possibility of failure. If that does not exist, then any future game is not as fun.

Don't try and pre-empt a successful path. Think about how the enemy would protect their facility and put that into play. The PCs will need to come up with actual clever ideas to get through. Then you become the enabler - if it is possible within the parameters you have set (even if unlikely)...

I totally disagree. The 5e adventures I have run (and I've been DMing since 1980) have been the best written for playing of any edition. 2e had some absolute shockers. My top adventures of all time would be Tomb of Annihilation followed by Lost Mines of Phandelver. Excellent work and made to be...

On my birthday I'd rather do B&D than D&D. Sorry. I'll get my coat.

I bought it in 1980, then the AD&D monster manual maybe a year later, then the AD&D players handbook maybe a year later and then the AD&D DMs guide. Bit ripped off that you needed the DMs guide for the Armour Class table.

Here's our adventure log in case that is of interest: Roll20

As a side note. At the very end where the party come across a sack with a creature struggling in it, I had that creature be Artus Cimber without the ring of winter. It would have led to the party realising that Acerak had taken the ring, but no hint of what had happened to it. This would come to...

I would have her join in disguise as someone new - the last survivor of an adventuring party in Omu. She could be a very useful (but not overpowering) member of the party. I would also have her make soft attempts to get into a relationship with a party member that she feels she could turn to...

My players never made it to the heart, but I would have her join the party - great idea. There are plenty of opportunities for the truth to be exposed, so chances are that her true nature would be revealed well before they actually get to the soulmonger.

Depends. If you are in Eberron then the captain of a ship would generally be a level 3 NPC. If you are in the Forgotten Realms the captain of a ship would be a level 20 NPC.

Am currently really enjoying Empire of the Ghouls.

I made my own in the 80's. Got a big flat piece of wood and painted it with glossy white paint. Then I scored in the one inch squares with a craft knife and a large ruler.

I like #3 - that means that mounts will be able to be speedy, which is really the main point of having one.

For me, a griffon is naturally aggressive while a riding horse is not.

Hiya, I don't like how mounts work in 5e in combat. I'm thinking of this for a houserule. Any feedback? Mounts and riders act together on the characters turn Mounts and riders share a move speed while the character is mounted If untrained in animal handling, a character can choose either...

The throwing of multiple different dice at once was jarring to me, but moreso because I was worried they were going to knock over the minifigures.

In the late 80s my table's rule was that a critical hit did automatic maximum damage - so no need to roll.
