    D&D 5E (2014) DM Guild Recommendations

    I've found Sean McGovern's Guide To CoS and SKT pretty useful in that it just made it easier for me to DM. I thought Tarokka Deck Unleashed was fun. I've started reading Uncaged volume 3 and it seems like it would be a ton of adventures you could deploy quickly. Lastly, I just started using...

    D&D 5E (2014) High Level Adventure Recommendations

    I'm running DoMM at 15th level right now to capstone Storm King's Thunder (the PCs have done everything but the final encounter, which will scale well to high levels). It's working very well. I'm about to run it via FG tonight for the first time, but my initial impressions are that it will work...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rank the Official 5e Adventures

    I think the ranking is accurate, but I also feel like it undersells the quality of the product. Dungeon of the mad mage is not 8x as bad as curse of strahd, coming from someone who has run significant parts of both. All of the WotC material could be better, but I think given reasonable page...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rank the Official 5e Adventures

    So I got curious and went through and gave every adventure a score based on how folks ranked them (no score if that person didnt rank it, lower is better) then averaged that and ordered the list. There are probably more statistically sound ways of doing this, but I thought this quick and dirty...

    D&D 5E (2014) Rank the Official 5e Adventures

    Terrific: Curse of Strahd Really Good: Phandelver, OoTA Good: DotMM, RoT, HoDQ, ToA, SKT, Penny Arcade I own, but haven't ran, all the others. I've ran SKT, HoDQ and RoT to completion, played OoTA to completion, ran about half of SKT and Phandelver. I'm running parts of DotMM right now. I've...

    Ideas for miniatures storage

    i found an old card catalog on facebook marketplace. It works great and looks a lot cooler than plastic tackle boxes I used to use.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wyrmskull Throne

    I've read it and I am running SKT right now. I don't think it would be easy to tie them together since wyrmskull is pretty underwater based and in a different region of Faerun. I've been toggling between SKT and Undermountain and it has worked well for me.

    D&D 5E (2014) High-Level Deep Dive into Undermountain - Advice Wanted

    I'm about to run DotMM at high level too - I am weaving in that and storm kings thunder into one mega adventure. As for high level, be prepared for the PCs to just occasionally ruin some fights, don't worry about making encounters too hard (its really really hard to) unless they do a lot without...

    D&D 5E (2014) Looking for Campaigns for 14+ level PCs

    I actually wrote a little mini campaign to take my PCs from 15th to 20th after Rise of Tiamat. I have a very rough draft that I kept meaning to eventually turn into something that I could put up on dmsguild but never got around to it. It does play into some of the storylines in HotDQ and RoT. If...

    D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual

    5 out of 5 rating for D&D 5th Edition Monster Manual Great art and look, huge selection of monsters for an initial MM, and great accompanying fluff makes this the best monster manual for D&D since at least 2e.

    Looking for a Weds Gencon LFR Game

    Hey all, myself and a couple other Kentuckians will be driving up for GenCon on Wednesday and are hoping to find a few folks who would like to play 1 or 2 sessions of LFR Wednesday afternoon/evening. We'd like to do 4-7th level mods (could do 1-4 in a pinch). We need 2-4 additional players. Not...

    Magic Items in Pyramid of Shadows

    Well, glad to see I wasn't crazy. I'm just going to add items to the dragon's treasure hoard, and maybe put a couple of the high level ones at the end...I really can't believe all the PCs get out of the dragon's hoard (if they fight it) is some cash...I wouldn't be happy with that. Plus, so...

    Magic Items in Pyramid of Shadows

    I am looking through Pyramid of Shadows in prep to run it for my 4e game. This is the first of the pre-published modules I have ran for 4e, and I was looking through the module to see what magic items were given out, and it seems like it is very light on the expected items. The adventure is...

    Interview with Scott Rouse, Chris Perkins & Bill Slavicsek

    I'm normally just a lurker, but I was a big fan of both magazines and want to put my 2 cents in terms of how I would like to see the new content online. First, I like having the paper, but I am ok with an an online model. More content spread out over a month would be fine with me, but here is...

    Help! Someone's going to play a Frenzied Berserker!

    I DMed and FB - the campaign only lasted for a few levels past entering the PrC, but the PCs generally were ok for three reasons: 1. They had a tank with a super high AC and hit points who could stand next the FB 2. The FB bumped his will save with feats, Wis, etc 3. The rest of the party were...

    Disappointment with high-level spells?

    I think you are expecting too much from 9th level druid spells. A druid has a LOT of tricks - spells are just part of the arsenal (wild shape in particular) and from a spell casting point of view summoning is their stick, and it should be noted that in general summon spells rock at all levels...

    Spiked Chains: Pure cheese or sometimes OK?

    well, I have a bias against a spiked chain since a Fire giant with one killed my namesake when he was 18th level. I tried to run within 20 ft of the giant to go save the world, and the next thing I knew I was on the ground (I got tripped on the AOO) and dead on the giants next turn. I generally...

    Weds night game?

    Bad me! I didn't read the sticky before posting...I am looking for 4 blokes to join me and my friend...I am really open as to what game or who DMs. If no one has any suggestion, I will just run a recent adventure from Dungeon. I just want to make sure I have some interested folks before I do my...
