    D&D 5E (2014) WizKids Announce Frameworks Custom Sprue-Based Minis

    Is this a prelude to a return of some kind of D&D skirmish miniature game? Or Battle System?

    D&D 5E (2014) WizKids Announce Frameworks Custom Sprue-Based Minis

    That is awesome news! I can see lots of use for these models with the SAGA Age of Magic wargame by Tomahawk Studios.

    D&D 5E (2014) The 6-battle adventuring day, does it even exist?

    Yep... and totally forgot about it when preparing an encounter in which a Helmed Horror was supposed to block a staircase leading to an evil wizard casting spells from a first level mezzanine. My poor wizard didn't last as long as I had hoped.

    D&D 5E (2014) The 6-battle adventuring day, does it even exist?

    Difficult to tell since I only did one other 5e campaign that ended in 2017. I would say he probably did use more slots for healing. Which was in line with doing a Greyhawk style campaign (but not in GK).

    D&D 5E (2014) The 6-battle adventuring day, does it even exist?

    I let them take short rest to recharge special abilities. No feats, no multi-classing. Fighter, Cavalier Fighter, Arcane Archer Rogue, Arcane Trickster Cleric, Knowledge Domain The Cavalier felt a bit under powered starting level 5. I gave the player two magic items from the familie's treasure...

    D&D 5E (2014) The 6-battle adventuring day, does it even exist?

    I believe I did between 2 to 4 encounters per day. Always justified by the arc story the PCs were slowly uncovering. Which was a secret plot to weaken the barony of their murdered father and take over the territory. PC didn't get 100% Hit Points each morning. They only recoup 1/2 HDs each...

    D&D 5E (2014) The 6-battle adventuring day, does it even exist?

    I don't do complex dungeon crawls generally. Maybe one time in a keep we did 5-6 battle day. It was a chase across the levels to capture the bad guy who escaped on the roof on his nightmare mount. Mouhahaha! (a recurring villain was created)

    D&D 5E (2024) Should There Be a Core Setting?

    If it's Greyhawk (because of named artifacts, named spells and other iconic Gaxyan stuff) then yes. Otherwise no. Just publish separate setting books.

    D&D 5E (2014) Price Increase on D&D & MtG coming

    It was bound to happen. We are also currently hit by a wave of 'reduceflation' in supermarkets. Packages stay the same size but contain 7-8% less so it's not readily noticeable visually to the consumer. This is due to inflation of wheat and other basic foods. One example given in an article I...

    Opinions on Symbaroum?

    It's called Chronicle of the Throne of Thorns: Wrath of the Warden. The Chronicles are a long term campaign. Not to be confused with the Adventure Packs 1, 2, 3 and 4, which are unrelated regular adventures you can use as you want.

    News Digest for the Week of July 30

    The new Loke products are really sweet for anyone wanting to do solitary 5e D&D sessions.

    D&D 5E (2014) Reducing 5e XP after 10th level

    I haven't used XPs in decades. Just tell them they level up after a number of games that suit the group's preference.

    Opinions on Symbaroum?

    Welcome to the club! After reading the starter set I bought the Core and after reading it I went over board! Since then I'be added the part one of the Chronicle adventure path. Trying to locate a GM screen.

    So what are you reading this year 2021?

    Finished Elfstones of Shannara and Wishsong of Shannara. They are better than Sword of Shannara. A few good ideas but is too repetitive and predictable. I would have like these books when I was 13-14. I'm done with Terry Brooks. Starting David Edding's Pawn of Prophecy (Belgariad book 1) for...

    How do you store and carry your dice?

    Last but not least. My high school crayon case bought in 1980 at the price of $15 with a month's worth of weekly allowances. Real leather. My father said I was crazy. Never broke down. I still use it today to store my high end pencils and ink pens. (the dice are not from the 80s. TSR dice didn't...

    How do you store and carry your dice?

    My wife's bag'o dice. Made by Hurons in Quebec City. I had a smaller one for a while but lost the leather string. Also bought a pear shaped receptacle in Jamaica to keep some dice close in the living room. You never know! 🙃
