Instead of the exact spell effect, I'd be pondering some sort of environmental effect attached to the spell itself. For example, if the spell in question was Darkness, I'd have the area be constantly inundated with shadows. Easier to hide (advantage, or the ability to hide in plain sight, or...

I will definitely be using those tables in my adventure planning. Seriously, that's brilliant. And it uses my favorite die, the sadly underutilized d12.

One big point the article touches on is people who've already bought all the hardcovers not having access to that content on D&D Beyond without essentially rebuying all of it. I wouldn't want to buy everything on D&D Beyond instead of hardcover, because that means I'm tied to the internet and my...

Middle Finger of Vecna has new base classes. I'm playing their Witch class in a game right now and having a blast with it. They've also got an Investigator, Warmage, Shugenja, Alchemist, Binder, and Craftsman.

Mordenkainen's also has the Shadar-kai elf subrace. SCAG and Xanathar's have subclasses, but not new base classes.

So the druid is only still under the effects of hex if the warlock chooses to maintain concentration. If the druid hits 0 hp, the warlock can move hex to a new target. But the warlock can also drop concentration and recast hex on a new creature. The pseudodragon (I assume you meant the...

I heard that they're going to be releasing a line of AL modules for Eberron. I doubt it'll get a full book like Waterdeep Dragon Heist or Tomb of Annihilation, though.

I don't think you're really getting what I was saying. I don't want to turn casters down. I don't want to turn the game down at all. I like the way the game plays at low levels. I just think it would have been a better design choice to have all archetypes kick in at 3rd level instead of a mix of...

There's also the Manifest Zone podcast, that Keith Baker is a part of. It's got some great stuff and is explicitly Eberron focused.

A glorified ad is all Dragon+ has ever really been.

In my Sunless Citadel adventure, one of my PCs almost got killed right off the bat by dropping into a giant rat nest, not ten minutes into the session. It was really exciting for a few minutes as the rest of the party tried to figure out how to get down there and save him with the very limited...

I don't know that you really can quantify things like disguise self. I mean, that spell may not play in at all in a standard dungeon crawl, but in a game centered more around social situations, it could be an absolute game changer. Damage per round applies in almost any D&D game - the game...

I still run all my Eberron games with the 3.5 Eberron Campaign Setting. I don't find that I really need anything more than that for most games. It's got enough info to get the flavor of things, but not so much that it becomes bloated and bogged down with detail. Honestly, between that and the...

Sapphire of Safeguarding Rare, requires attunement This shield-shaped sapphire attaches to the back of a shield. When attached in this way, it allows the shield bearer, as a reaction, to transfer half the damage of a successful attack against one of their allies within 30' to the shield...

I think you've got plenty of material there in place ready to react to your players' actions on the fly. Just keep in mind the relationships between the NPCs. I would definitely not have this young woman have a child, and I seriously wouldn't have that be a kind of reveal for the PCs after...

Roll for each missile, same way I always have.

Personally, I'd just give the warlock the benefits of a special familiar. Having a cool familiar is a big part of their schtick, after all.

As far as I understand it, you round down the damage you take, not the damage you resist. So in this case, that 9 points of damage turns into 4 points of damage.

I wouldn't. But if my group really, truly insisted on it, here's how I'd come at the problem. In combat, I'd use boss monsters with minions. Low level characters could hit the equally-low level minions, while the two high level characters can go after the tougher leaders. I'd also be handing...

With Eberron, I take everything outside the 3.5 campaign setting book as non-canon, even stuff I really love like the Legacy of Dhakaan trilogy, the Draconic Prophecy trilogy, and the Lost Mark trilogy. I'd go with Keith Baker on this and make the mark more productive - really play up...
