    D&D 5E (2014) One Year of DM's Guild

    Let's see what I can add to the conversation. I have only created one product for the DMs Guild. It spent far too much time as a freebie "preview" of the actual product I intended to publish. Once published, my product sold a handful of copies quickly and then it slowed to a trickle (read: 1-2...

    More Encounter Ideas Set In Cormyr 1. A handful of Purple Dragons and a few war wizards battling orcs and an ogre magi. Swords paused mid-swing; spells unleashed, yet fixed in place and unmoving; blood suspended in the air; cries of agony and roars of rage stilled by a force unseen. Who among...

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you want a Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide?

    I am a fan of the Realms, but I voted no. If WotC comes anywhere near to doing this, they will create some type of overview book that is as mistitled as Volo's Guide to Monsters was. Something like a Grand Tour of the Realms, with recycled artwork and not nearly as many words written by Ed...

    D&D 5E (2014) The importance to "story" of contrivance

    I don't like the word "contrivance" because--to me--it has a negative connotation. It's one step away from words like "excuse", and there's not much fun to be had from thinking that way when I am planning for a campaign. For DMs that are just starting out, or that are breaking away from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Your one best piece of GM/DM advice?

    Keep your campaign world consistent with itself. Player immersion in the campaign is a big part of the fun when it comes to playing D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) 5th Edition and Cormyr: Flexing My Idea Muscle and Thinking Out Loud

    Devoting our attention to what remains of Sraece 1. The mind of Sraece Telthorn is trapped between two magical Portals (Gates for us old timers). One opens in the vicinity of Waterdeep. The other near Yhaunn. 2. I figure Sraece is some sort of ghost-like creature. How about a Gate Haunt? 3...
