Ya think the Sea Ghost is big. . . check out the Emperor of the Waves from Salvage Operation!

You are not wrong, but that degree of swinginess is a feature, not a bug to me. Some adventures are short sidetreks and others may be multi-part epics and that gives me some leeway in terms of when to award XP and how much. Sessions, on the other hand, as I suggested, might cover as little as...

So the inspiration for this thread was not actually my campaign that has lasted 56 sessions so far. It was joining a campaign that was about 25 3-hour sessions in, where the characters are around 8th level. It made me realize that my in-person group, who had just completed around the same...

I think that was a thread I started!

After last year’s post on this subject I told myself I would keep better track this year, and then promptly didn’t. 🤷🏾‍♂️ But I mostly spent $ on minis and similar accessories. The few books I got were gifts.

I used "would" over "should" very purposefully. "Would" suggests what you imagine they'd be given your general view and experience of 5E. "Should" suggests there is a right or wrong answer, which I definitely am not remotely suggesting or believe.

I don't know. . . I am sure you can find something interesting to contribute regardless. Like, at what level do you generally end a campaign? How many sessions is that? Are they 3 hour sessions? Etc. .

Yes.

A relatively simple question as the title suggests. . . Given 56 sessions, each lasting approximately 3 hours (sometimes 15 minutes more, very rarely 15 to 30 minutes less), involving 4 players (and no deaths), what level would you expect the party to be in a 5E game? For the sake of the poll...

Quasar an elf I rolled up using B/X rules in 1983, only to arrive at the table on actual game day to learn there was this thing called AD&D and "elf" was not a class and they didn't allow multiclassing. So I played Quasar as a fighter for one session. I don't think I played another PC (only...

Yes. And a couple of other similar examples. . .

I don't announce DCs, I prefer to simply describe it as "You think it is easy/medium/hard. ." whatever it would seem to be (and probably is, but not always) and then the actual DC can be within a range of that number without them knowing for sure, and that way they can roll and decide if they...

Note to self: Remember to stay off ENWorld when you're in a bad mood and opening any thread feels like this And my immediate impulse is to just post this and leave: I think I'll see you all next year. . . Hope your holidays are uneventful.

I'd love for ENWorld to have a feature where you can start a new thread that is auto-locked (no one can comment - not even you!) and it gets bumped from likes. Oh wait. That's just a blog. :sneaky:

I don’t think I have given out a standard by the book magic item (save a potion or two) since sometime in the late 90s. That said, as much as I loved Dragon mag back in the day, I know I would not be the audience for it anymore because it was Dragon that helped me to learn how to homebrew to...

The main thing I don’t like about D&D is the same thing I love about it: the people who play it. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Oh and the people who don’t play it but somehow love to complain about it.

Yeah, I'm the opposite. The older I get the more I expect everyone to focus and I am blessed with two groups who do so (we got one guy who can inadvertently rattle on when he gets going, so I try to jump on early we can chit chat before hand). Luckily, I see everyone in my in-person game...

Me <clicking on a potentially interesting thread title from the forum list page when it turns out I have the OP blocked>: 🤷‍♂️
