Either you're trolling me, or attempting to lead me into some kind of trap!

This reminds me of the special snowflake I had at my table at a convention once who said "If no one is going to laugh at my jokes, I'm just going to leave!" Hoo boy.

I started a 5th edition Wilderlands campaign earlier this year. We play every other Sunday for about 6 hours. So far we're having a blast, and becoming more comfortable with the rules. I'm using a heavily modified version of the Tomb of Abysthor as the dungeon, which encourages a lot of sandbox...

That one is news to me. What page is that on? Yea, I worded that a little vague. I'll fix it later.

The only thing you need to worry about is making a "Mary-Sue" character - one whom you love so much that you can't bear to see them get killed, and who gets the spotlight all the time. This character doesn't sound like that. As long as her story, personality and motivations are believable, the...

I'm using Tomb of Abysthor as my starting point for my campaign. But my version of it that I'm using is probably half the size. It's just way too large and unwieldy for my taste, otherwise.

I needed something like this. I want community feedback here. Something like a 1-2 page guide that is intended for GMs who are familiar with d20/Pathfinder/3.5 and are converting to 5th edition. One of the frustrating things (for me) in 5th edition is that it seems like most of the really...

That's a solid group, but I agree with the others that you should start at 1st - especially if you have new players. That will give them a chance to learn their characters' abilities. Also, the player's need some reason to be on this boat. Where are they going? It sounds like a lot more than...

Interesting suggestion. I might have to take a closer look at that book next time I'm at my FLGS. I've mostly ignored the campaign books so far since I'm running my own.

I may have to bookmark those Dyson Delves. Could be just the thing I'm looking for. I have the Green Ronin Dungeons of Doom, which is just pure cartography. So, I might get some mileage out of that. I also have Goodman Games' Citadel of Fire (which is a JG module) and Caverns of Thracia. I...

My experience with this sort of thing has usually been from the player's perspective, and I'm working with a fellow player to actively derail a very railroady kind of campaign. I played a game many years ago, and the GM had a PhD in Psychology. He literally knew how to manipulate players into...

I started DM'ing again specifically because one of my wife's friends wanted to play. So, she and her husband have joined us, and then I invited one of her husband's friends to play whom I met at a party right before we started. And then I found two other more-or-less random people (screened for...

I'm running a 5e campaign set in the Wilderlands of High Fantasy. The party is 3rd level, and has just acquired the first piece of the Rod of Seven Parts. They don't know what it is just yet. At some point, though, it's going to tell the cleric who is wielding it (who is conveniently already...

dumb post was dumb. I deleted it.

Well, the frogs aren't natural - they are the result of some centuries old drums of radioactive material left by a fallen empire. But you wouldn't have known that. lol But in the most literal of ways, they are just giant frogs. As in, mutated regular mundane frogs.

Plot twist! The princess is actually a doppleganger hired by the Baron (at an exorbitant rate). The baron hires the PCs (this has to be kept ultra secret, after all) to secretly hide away his daughter into town C, where she'll be safe. Even more plot twist! The kidnappers are the baron's own...

Two of my players can't play this weekend. That leaves 3 - coincidentally, all gnomes. Yea, I don't get it either. They are an artificer (we're still working through what that means), a rogue, and a ranger. The two who can't come are a human cleric and an elven druid. The party is level 1...

If one were to do this legitimately, like - if you were my player and seriously wanted to play something like this, I'd probably be inclined to go for some sort of specialty priest of Moander. I'd give you find familiar, but tweak it to be an ooze instead. And I'd work up some very specific...

Right. That's embarrassing. I think I even owned that first one. Never heard of that Axe of the Dwarvish Lords module, though. Ok, so let me clarify - the Rod is the only one with its own boxed set. :)
