Well, first off, that price seems only to cover the cost of recording a spell in your book. That's not equivalent unless you can cast the spell right from the book and then it disappears. Which makes an epic rules mod, but I don't THINK that's in 5e anywhere, yet. But even basing that as the...

So they do, thank you. 'Uncommon' rarity, whatever that means...

One of the core themes to TWD is survival, and you'd want to find a way to incorporate this into your D&D campaign. In the series and the games inspired by it (Project Zomboid is awesome, BTW), you have to worry about food, water, shelter, and weapons on a regular basis. You have a finite...

I haven't done 5e, but I did do Rise of the Runelords with Savage Worlds. As others have said, mind the encounters and the rewards. You may need to adjust on the fly, and don't be shy about admitting your mistakes to your table.

This is futile, I realize, but to bring some facts back to this conversation: 1) I can find no affirmative statement in this thread that OP discussed the matter with his or her DM. 2) Even if magic shops were available, there's significant reason to doubt that the item necessary... a) exists...

Yeah, as stated it depends on what the townspeople think about it. Could range from "I always knew those Redbrands were trouble, serves 'em right" to "great now we have TWO bands of thugs to worry about!"

My gut reaction to the FP here is simply this: He doesn't trust you. And from what I have read so far, it seems a reasonable reaction. My advice is to discuss it.

I'd go so far as to say that by rejecting magic marts and WBL, etc, 5e represents a deliberate step away from that concept. You're not intended to have an item for every problem, nor is it assumed that you will. Again, though, a DM can override this on a per table basis. So I hope we didn't...

Was this question ever actually asked? What was the result?

My criteria for the list wasn't things that GMs would find impossible to fix. Instead I was aiming for things that ideally should have been addressed before the module went to print. Page 72 says the treasure 'will be added to an even more monstrous hoard at the Well of Dragons'. I would...

Given your 'trapped in not-Underdark cavern on short time table and cannot leave' constraint, I'd suggest you try one of these three options: 1) Talk to your GM about it directly. Go directly to your GM, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. If you did that already and I missed the post, I...

Sorry I missed your post. Which ones do you feel are incorrect? I'll happily adjust if I made a mistake.

In that same vein, apples are not pears, though both are fruit that grow on trees and can be delicious to eat. Not that it adds anything to the conversation while we forbid the topic of pie making, but at least I got the last word in... Is that how this works?

Might be best to bring this fight to whomever actually said homebrew was fan fiction. I certainly never did, and wouldn't care if someone did or did not draw that comparison. In fact you can easily make the case that fan fiction is typically NOT as derivative as Tolkien-esqe RPGs. My wife...

IMO "Skills" no longer exist, and the new 5e thing that replaced them needs a new name. Can you decide to get better at them, for example? "Put points" into them? Only through feats and class features, as far as I am aware. That would make them about as far from "skills" as you can...

It depends on which elements you intend to keep, as well as where you think they were going with the show. "Modern colony surrounded by dinosaurs" could be done a few dozen ways. Also "kids rebel against colonial authority and sneak out all the time" is pretty safe. But "unclear secret agenda...

I admit, I don't know who Rob Kuntz even is, so you may have a point there. How's about this quote, though: " I can complete a mission in Mass Effect in about an hour and a half. So why can’t I complete an adventure in D&D in that time? Why does it take me 4, 8, 12 hours just to get from page...

That's only true from a very limited point of view. In truth the very nature of the RPG is derivative of war gaming, right down to how the terms 'hit points' and 'armor class' were lifted from a naval combat game (where they actually make a lot more sense.) And what of elves, dragons, etc...

So it turns out HotDQ gives some interesting angles on why the cult would be courting this dragon and what they are after in general.

Is this dungeon for another group to consume? It seems like the surprises would be known already if this group's PCs were to explore it.
