Thanks all, I knew it would be simple. If anyone else is interested, there is a site ( https://anydice.com/ ) that will help calculate probabilities for you on large pools and shows the resulting bell curve.

Holy Thread Resurrection Batman! Ok fellow math-masters, I need your help on this, and I can't seem to find a clear concise answer anywhere... What is the average result for exploding dice when you're rolling multiple dice? Example, whats the average result when rolling 2d6 vs 4d6 when open...

Wow, 5 pages on an old necro thread and I have a couple of points no one made. For Familiars, remember that they act on THEIR OWN initiative. Your wizard can freely issue a command for the familiar to help, but they will be going one their own turn likely at some point sometime else in the...

I'm running a 5e D&D campaign and the players are currently helping a small hamlet on the frontier. They've taken a liking to the village and are working hard to develop it into a thriving community and a safe home base. Besides the Kingdom Builder rules from Pathfinder's Kingmaker adventure...

I find that players often think Darkvision is more powerful than it is, and don't bother to carry torches or use it as a way to avoid thinking about light sources. Don't forget some wrinkles about darkvision if your group of players think they are totally fine to run around in the dark...

The album Dieties by Chamber Band https://chamberband.com/deities/ Its an acoustic alt-folk sound, all the songs include references to D&D god. Its not jokey, like some D&D songs, but is more heartfelt and done seriously. Its great!

So many great suggestions!

What are the best long series of adventures or campaign would you convert into 5e, and why? I feel the hankering to start something new with my current group of players, but none of the current WOTC offerings seem to inspire me at the moment. So I was wondering what 3rd party publishers had...

Hmmm, maybe we'll be lucky enough to see someone create a NEW spreadsheet called... ReForged Anvil. A totally different item, with new layout etc, requiring a new Cease and Desist from WoTC. Which then results in a new product call the Re-reforged Anvil. And the Re-re-reforged anvil...

Thanks so much for posting, these are really great!

I agree that its an important restriction. It really helps limit things and forces the players to make interesting choices. That said, my players were REALLY excited when they found a legendary item on a defeated lich that let them break that rule. It was a ring I dubbed 'Bigby's Bauble of...

I like to use Spotify for gaming music. Its easy to set up a playlist and you can just let it run in the background. For D&D, look for any fantasy themed computer game (Skyrim, Dragon Age, Divinity Original Sin, Witcher, etc) and movies (LOTR, Braveheart, etc) There are a ton of soundtracks...

I recommend reading Grain Into Gold A FANTASY WORLD ECONOMY The author starts with the value of agricultural products and uses those values to extrapolate lots of other products and services. Its a good primer on how to model an economy in your game world, and a good starting place on this topic.

Artificer maybe? I hope there is a good version of that, as all the playtest ones have been lacking.
