Did you change his spell list for that? As written his only damage spells are magic missile and shocking grasp, and I can't imagine how he would down 3 out of 6 PCs with that. Giving him spells like Burning Hands or Scorching Ray would make him far more dangerous. Hold Person would work if he...

If played as written, the players never even meet Glasstaff. It isn't even obvious when they find his empty room that he was warned by his familiar and just escaped. However that might make for another good modification to the adventure: Make it more obvious that Glasstaff just escaped a minute...

I am planning to play the Lost Mines of Phandelver, but not using the pregenerated characters. Which means that none of my players will have a background already establishing an enmity with Glasstaff. If I play the adventure as written the sequence will most likely go something like this: The...

I hadn't thought of it as an in-combat item, because I would think that bandaging somebody takes more than 6 seconds. Maybe explicitly state that one use of the kit takes 1 minute, so it won't be used in combat.

The healer's kit in the Player's Handbook works like this: The main use of it appears to be to provide a basic option for stabilizing dying companions in the absence of healing spells or people with the medicine skill. But even then it is only marginally better than somebody without proficiency...

I thought the "D&D Next" stats *were* 5e. Can you explain what the difference is?

Apparently different tablets have different versions of the Gallery app. Mine doesn't have "Draw" as an option. However I did manage to achieve the same effect with the app Paper on iOS.

I am looking for an app on iOS or Android which would allow me to show my players at the table the parts of the dungeon that they have already seen, but keep a fog of war on the rest of the dungeon. Example can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqs2iUqNKg4 but this was done on a PC...

No problem, I was just joking. :) I'm not sure the release schedule of Trailseeker and En5ider are related in this case. I have no idea why they didn't post the adventures as often as they said, but there isn't much work involved posting existing adventures. And it was marketed as "free". For...

Sorry, I didn't know that you were such a snob that you wouldn't accept answers from anybody not working for the publisher. Me, I am just a En5ider subscriber, armed with some basic math. Part 3 of the player's guide was released today. Parts 1, 2, and 3 together are 40 pages already released...

En5ider up to now published three bits of Zeitgeist: The campaign guide on Jan 30, the player's guide part 1 on Feb 10, and the player's gude part 2 on Mar 1. The player's guide needs at least 2 more parts to be complete. Adventure 1 is probably 2 parts. So even if we assume just 1 part of...

I am planning to start a 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons campaign with players who haven't played 5E before. Due to an infrequent playing schedule we had some problems in the past with adventures that contained too many parallel stories and too many NPCs. So a relatively linear starting adventure...

Two years ago I me and my friends decided to start the Zeitgeist Adventure Path with the goal of playing through all of it. We had a great time in adventure one. In adventure two we had a few difficult moments, but overall it was still quite good. Now in adventure three we are floundering. And...

I have followed your advice and read reviews of the adventures proposed in this thread. As I don't like dark fantasy and my players don't like to be prisoners, I think I'll skip Out of the Abyss. And the reviews of the later adventures are better than those of the earlier ones, e.g. reviewers...

I own the 5th edition Starter Set, and think it is quite well done as an introduction to the edition. So I was wondering what people recommend to play after that. Is there a published adventure that fits well in terms of level required, geographical location, and general theme? The only other...

I'm aware of two French projects for translating 5th edition, one called "Héros & Dragons", the other "Dragons". Both crowdfunded, both not yet completed, and probably won't be before the official translation arrives. I can't imagine the project leaders are very happy right now.

Well, if I ever play this campaign again, I'll use the 5th edition D&D system that is currently being published via EN5ider. However there I have your problem: The publication schedule means I won't have 5E material available for another year or so before I could even begin a campaign. Thank...

In June 2015 I started running a Zeitgeist campaign using 4th edition Dungeons & Dragons rules. Today, nearly 2 years later, we are only in the early chapters of adventure 3. We play at maximum 2 times per month, 4th edition isn't the fastest system for combat resolution, and the Zeitgeist...

I am very happy about this. The only drawback is that the entire campaign is something like 1,600 pages of material, and EN5ider is publishing it in chapters of about 20 pages each, once or twice per month. I won't be able to use the material and play Zeitgeist in 5E before the end of this year...
